The need factor is part of both the evaluation process and the grant award calculation. How do I find out the need factor percentage for my municipality?
Answer
The need factor is derived from the Department of Revenue’s equalized valuation of properties (EQV) and income per capita at the time of the writing of the program notice(s). Contact us directly for the need factor percentage for your municipality. Email Lauren Stara at lauren.stara@mass.gov or Andrea Bono-Bunker at andrea.bunker@mass.gov.
