Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Block grants provide more flexibility to state and local governments as they can decide how to allocate the money among various programs and services based on their particular needs and priorities. This is in contrast to categorical grants where the federal government imposes specific guidelines and regulations on how the funds can be used. Matching grants, earmark grants, and project grants are all types of categorical grants and therefore do not provide the same level of administrative flexibility as block grants.
