These goals are listed in this section, under Background.Section 4405 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 authorizes Hunger-Free Communities Collaborative Grants and Hunger-Free Communities Infrastructure Grants.

There are two models of grants:
planning and assessment grants and implementation grants.

A community may only apply for one model of grant as part of this grant solicitation; however, those communities receiving a planning and assessment grant may apply for an implementation grant in a future year if additional funds are made available to continue this program.
