📌2025-2026 Joint Use Agreement Grant for schools

Joint use is the practice of allowing use of public school buildings and/or grounds by non-public school entities and/or vice versa. A JUA is a collaborative agreement between a school and local government or non-profit entity, setting forth the terms and conditions for shared use of public property/facility. JUAs are formed to meet the shared goals and needs of the school and community, while focusing on maximizing resources and increasing opportunities for physical activity. Through the shared use of space, schools and communities see a fiscal benefit while providing added amenities and services for students and community members.

☎️Let me know if you have questions or need help.
