The program shall be for the purpose of helping rural and low-income communities to take advantage of various local, state, and federal financing programs to develop community facilities, ensuring that these facilities are developed and operated in such a manner that the facilities or services last for a normal period of time, as determined by the department, and ensuring that, wherever possible, reasonable user rates are charged for use of the facilities. The department shall provide in the administration of the program that funds pursuant to this program shall, to the greatest extent practicable, be used with the greatest amount of matching nonprogram funds.
