    Legislative Authority: The legislative authority for this grant is 
provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Pub. L. 
111-5). Additional legislative authority and requirements are provided 
in Sections 674(b)(2)(A) and 678A of the Community Services Block Grant

SUMMARY: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of 
Community Services (OCS) has awarded a single source expansion 
supplement to Community Action Program Legal Services, Inc. (CAPLAW), 
located in Boston, MA. The project is designed to support T/TA that 
strengthens the ability of the Community Action Network to comply with 
and carry out the programs funded by ARRA. The objectives of the 
project are to: (1) clarify CSBG policy issues, and (2) strengthen 
CSBG-eligible entity governance and accountability. It will do so by 
analyzing CSBG policy issues needing clarification, as identified by 
OCS; developing policy recommendations to address CSBG policy issues 
applicable to ARRA and ``regular'' CSBG funds; and responding to the 
legal, financial, and management T/TA needs among the recipients of 
CSBG ARRA funds. The project resources developed by CAPLAW, Inc. will 
promote accountability and help CSBG-eligible entities and States 
enhance the overall administration of ARRA-funded programs. These 
resources include issue-specific T/TA and individualized financial 
consultation; online interactive tutorials; financial network 
conference calls; online governance and financial management 
toolkit(s); and T/TA on CSBG ARRA guidance via webinars and audio 
conferences. The T/TA CAPLAW, Inc. will provide under this award is 
particularly critical at this time due to the large temporary increase 
in CSBG funding to CSBG-eligible entities and the need to ensure 
adherence to high standards of accountability and tracking of the funds 
and results. The activities funded by this single source expansion 
supplement expand upon prior activities provided by CAPLAW under their 
cooperative agreement. A new grant award number will be issued to allow 
CAPLAW to track and report separately on expenditures from funds made 
available by ARRA.
