Looking at the NLC website, it seems that whites need not apply for the assistance. You aren’t the “equity” they care about.
Charles, tell them you are a Native American and you had your land stolen hundreds of years ago. Where’s my free money ? Don’t forget to have them supply free high speed internet, too.
