(1) There are no guidelines that prevent Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) from applying for assistance for housing development/construction through Royalties for Regions funding.
NGOs can approach their local Regional Development Commission to discuss the lodgement of an application for assistance to provide housing for their sector.
The Country Local Government fund also provides funding for local governments to invest in projects that are seen as a strategic priority for their region.
(2) Not applicable.
