Subtitle D of title X of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 ( Public Law 110–246 ; 122 Stat. 2109) is amended by adding at the end the following: In this section: The term eligible entity means— a nonprofit organization; or a unit of general local government, or tribal government, located on tribal land or in a low-income community. The term low-income community means— a community in which not less than 50 percent of children are eligible for free or reduced priced meals under the Richard B.
Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1751 et seq.); or any other community determined by the Secretary to be low-income for purposes of this section. The term unit of general local government has the meaning given the term in section 102 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 ( 42 U.S.C. 5302 ). Using such amounts as are appropriated to carry out this section, the Secretary shall award grants to eligible entities to expand, establish, or maintain community gardens.
To be considered for a grant under this section, an eligible entity shall submit to the Secretary an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information as the Secretary may require, including— an assurance that priority for hiring for jobs created by the expansion, establishment, or maintenance of a community garden funded with a grant received under this section will be given to individuals who reside in the community in which the garden is located; and a demonstration that the eligible entity is committed to providing non-Federal financial or in-kind support (such as providing a water supply) for the community garden for which the entity receives funds under this section. .
