The Alabama Association of Regional Councils is composed of twelve regional councils. The regional councils provide services to local governments, such as securing grant and loan assistance for community projects and services. The range of services for funding goes beyond writing a grant application. In many cases, tasks include: Advising local governments on the type of project to undertake, providing information on the current availability of funds, providing statistical data, and managing compliance reporting. Regional councils routinely prepare applications for submission to the Appalachian Regional Commission; State of Alabama Community Development Block Grant Program; Economic Development Administration; Department of Housing and Urban Development; USDA- Rural Development; Environmental Protection Agency; and the Small Business Administration.
