  • •No more than 5% of the fund can be used for admin costs like office stuff.
  • •The fund gets money from the government, loan repayments, and other sources.

Example

Imagine the government sets up a piggy bank to help fix up old buildings in your town.

The piggy bank gets money from the government and from people paying back loans. Most of the money must be used to fix the buildings, but a little bit (no more than 5%) can be used for things like paying the people who manage the piggy bank.
