FEDERAL INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

States’ Economic Development Assistance Program (SEDAP) 

The States’ Economic Development Assistance Program is DRA’s primary investment program. In FY 2022, DRA 

invested $18.3 million in 57 projects that will improve water and sewer systems, boost business development, 

enhance infrastructure, and support job training in communities throughout the Delta region. These investments 

were matched by $32.9 million and will attract an additional $5 million in private investments. These investments are 

expected to create or retain 563 jobs, train over 1,100 individuals, and affect 23,483 families. 

SEDAP Investments: 

• At least 50% must be used for transportation infrastructure and basic public infrastructure. 

• At least 75% must be made in counties and parishes that are economically distressed. 

Community Infrastructure Fund (CIF) 

These investments strengthen the economic viability of our Delta communities. In FY 2022, DRA invested $33.1 

million in projects to address flood control, basic public infrastructure, and local transportation infrastructure 

improvements that enhance local and regional economies throughout the DRA region. 

Public Works & Economic Adjustment Assistance (PWEAA) 

The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration made $3 million of its FY 2022 Public 

Works and Economic Adjustment Assistance program available to DRA. This program supports rural communities 

by investing in projects that leverage existing regional assets and the implementation of community development 

strategies that advance economic prosperity in distressed regions.

WORKFORCE: DELTA WORKFORCE PROGRAM

The Delta Workforce Grant Program (DWP) targets federal resources toward communities 

in the DRA region particularly hard hit by industrial downsizing, business closures, and 

job losses as a result of the public health and economic crisis. More specifically, DWP 

supports projects and initiatives that create a more vibrant economic future for the region 

by expanding job training and re-employment opportunities, aligning workforce and 

economic development strategies, creating sustainable talent pipelines, establishing 

or enhancing locally/regionally significant public-private partnerships, and supporting 

enhanced workforce productivity through investments in innovative programming. 

WORKFORCE: WORKFORCE OPPORTUNITY 

FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES

• In partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Employment and Training 

Administration (ETA) and the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), approximately 

$34.4 million in grants was made available under the Workforce Opportunity for 

Rural Communities (WORC) initiative to provide employment and training services to 

regional and local workforces. 

• Authorized by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, WORC grants will fund 

projects to invest in education, training, and career support services. DOL awardees 

align community-led economic and workforce development strategies and provide 

services to residents of the two regions including those who are dislocated workers; 

new entrants to the workforce, including students or the long-term unemployed; 

incumbent workers looking to improve their career prospects; and individuals affected 

by persistent poverty. Ranging from $835,499 to $1,441,292 million, the grants. 

• In FY 2022, the fourth round of WORC grants, DOL invested nearly $17.1 million into 

13 projects in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee to 

support workforce training programs designed to provide employment and training 

services to regional and local workforces. 

The FY 2022 WORC Awardees were: 

Alabama Department of Commerce

HEALTH: DELTA DOCTORS

In partnership with the U.S. Department of State, DRA’s Delta 

Doctors program helps address the health disparities and 

high levels of health professional shortages by granting J-1 

visa waivers for physicians who are willing to provide medical 

services in distressed DRA communities. The program allows 

foreign physicians who are trained in the United States to work 

in medically underserved areas for three years, but most doctors 

placed through this program choose to continue serving their 

communities beyond their three-year commitment. Physicians 

participating in the Delta Doctors program do not take jobs 

away from U.S.-born physicians, but instead provide services in 

areas where there would otherwise be a shortage of physicians, 

increasing access to affordable, quality healthcare. 

In FY 2022, DRA processed 173 applications for the Delta Doctors 

program. 

HEALTH: DELTA REGION 

COMMUNITY HEALTH SYSTEMS 

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

DRA collaborates with the Health Resources & Services

Administration of the U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services on a technical assistance program, Delta Region 

Community Health Systems Development Program (DRCHSD), 

that enhances healthcare delivery in the DRA region. The program 

supports providers in select rural communities, including critical 

access hospitals, small rural hospitals, rural health clinics and other 

healthcare organizations.

Assistance includes: • Improving hospital or clinic financial operations • Implementing quality-improvement activities to promote the 

development of an evidence-based culture leading to improved 

health outcomes

• Increasing use of telehealth to address gaps in clinical service 

delivery and improve access to care

• Ensuring access to and availability of emergency medical 

services

• Identifying workforce recruitment and retention resources 

targeted to rural communities

The following 11 healthcare facilities were selected for 

the DRCHSD Cohort 2021 (to begin program in 2022). • Hill Hospital of Sumter County | York, Alabama • Dallas County Medical Center | Fordyce, Arkansas • T.W. Wagner, INC | Manila, Arkansas • Allen Parish Community Healthcare Hospital | 

Kinder, Louisiana 

• Franklin Medical Center | Winnsboro, Louisiana • LaSalle General Hospital | Jena, Louisiana • St. James Parish Hospital | Lutcher, Louisiana • Springhill Medical Center | Springhill, Louisiana • West Feliciana Parish Hospital | St. Francisville, 

Louisiana 

• Cape Family Medical Clinic | Cape Girardeau, 

Missouri 

• Salem Memorial District Hospital | Salem, Missouri

HEALTH: DELTA REGION RURAL HEALTH 

WORKFORCE TRAINING PROGRAM

DRA, in partnership with the Health Resources & Services Administration’s (HRSA) Federal Office of Rural 

Health Policy, launched in 2021 the Delta Region Rural Health Workforce Training Program, which supports 

education and training to aid development of strategic workforce training for critical health administrative 

support occupations. The program funds specialized training such as medical coding and billing, clinical 

documentation, information management, and claims processing.

Louisiana Tech University was awarded a $600,000 grant through the Delta Region Rural Health Workforce 

Training Program.

Louisiana Tech University, along with academic partner Bossier Parish Community College, educational 

technology partner BetaFlix, Inc., and rural healthcare partners North Louisiana Medical Center/Allegiance 

Healthcare Management and Jackson Parish Hospital have come together as strategic network partners. 

The network will create a sustainable pipeline of trained rural health professionals and assist in retaining 

current healthcare staff in nine rural parishes with opportunities for training and education in critical 

positions.

HEALTH: INNOVATIVE 

READINESS TRAINING

DRA partners with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the 

U.S. Military’s reserve forces to host Innovative Readiness Training 

(IRT) medical missions, bringing medical, dental, and optical care 

to Delta residents in need of quality healthcare at no cost to the

patients. IRT is a DoD military training opportunity that delivers 

joint training opportunities to increase deployment readiness 

while simultaneously providing key healthcare services with 

lasting benefits for Delta communities. By utilizing their extensive 

resources, the military is able to meet some of the region’s most 

urgent healthcare needs. Among the services provided during IRT 

missions are basic medical and wellness exams, vision exams and 

single lens glasses, and dental exams and extractions.

LEADERSHIP

DELTA LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE 

The Delta Leadership Institute (DLI) Executive Academy is an extensive, 

ten-month executive leadership development program that brings 

together public, private, and nonprofit sector leaders from all eight DRA 

states. 

In September 2022, DLI graduated 31 fellows from its 18th class. The 

graduates participated in six training sessions over the past year, 

learning best practices employed throughout the Delta region for 

economic and community development in order to catalyze innovative 

solutions implementable in their own community and region. DLI 

fellows learned from subject matter experts in infrastructure and 

transportation, small business and entrepreneurship, workforce 

development, public health, and other fields necessary to facilitate 

economic growth.

WHITE HOUSE 

INITIATIVES 

JUSTICE40 

President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative aims to deliver 40 percent of the overall benefits of climate, clean energy, 

affordable and sustainable housing, clean water and other investments to disadvantaged communities that are 

marginalized, overburdened, and underserved. The Justice40 Initiative is a directive created through Executive 

Order 14008 and supports the Administration’s comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all as designated 

in Executive Order 13985. 

DRA is participating in Justice40 through its grantmaking activities, including Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-funded 

activities. 
DRA 2022 ANNUAL REPORT

38 39

BUILD AMERICA, BUY AMERICA

The Build America, Buy America Act was signed into law in 2021 by President Biden as a part of the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act. The Act requires that federal agencies ensure that funds for a federal financial assistance 

program for infrastructure are obligated only to projects that use iron, steel, manufactured products, and 

construction materials that are produced in the United States. Federal agencies are required to include a Buy 

America preference in the terms and conditions of each award for applicable infrastructure projects.

DRA’s Federal Co-Chairman may waive the application of a Buy America preference under an infrastructure 

program in any case in which:

1. applying the domestic content procurement preference would be inconsistent with the public interest (a “public 

interest waiver”),

2. types of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials are not produced in the United States in 

sufficient and reasonably available quantities or of a satisfactory quality (a “nonavailability waiver”),

3. the inclusion of iron, steel, manufactured products, or construction materials produced in the United States will 

increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent (an “unreasonable cost waiver”).

WHITE HOUSE STRATEGY ON HUNGER, NUTRITION, AND 

HEALTH

In September 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration announced more than $8 billion in new commitments as 

part of the call to action for the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. The Biden-Harris 

Administration hosted the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health on September 28, 2022, 

which catalyzed the public and private sectors around a coordinated strategy to accelerate progress and drive 

transformative change in the U.S. to end hunger, improve nutrition and physical activity, and close the disparities 

surrounding them.

President Biden’s goal is to end hunger and increase healthy eating and physical activity by 2030, so that fewer 

Americans experience diet-related diseases like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. DRA is proud to join with the 

White House and our federal partners to support this initiative. To learn more about the work being done, visit 

health.gov.

DRA’s stated commitment is to implement prioritization criteria in its grant programs to support initiatives with a 

direct connection between economic development and healthy food access.

EXECUTIVE ORDER ON RACIAL EQUITY

Delta Regional Authority is proud to join over 90 other Federal agencies in releasing a historic Equity Action Plan

to support the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government equity agenda. View DRA’s Equity Action Plan 

to learn more about our efforts to prioritize meaningful community engagement and increase investments in 

persistent poverty counties.

The White House has launched a new federal equity microsite that includes the findings from the year-long equity 

process that agencies have conducted, and the executive summaries of the equity action plans submitted by the 

largest federal agencies.

On February 16, 2023, President Biden signed a second Executive Order on equity to reaffirm the administration’s 

commitment to equity-centered governance and outcomes.
