Illinois Administrative Code › Title 47 - HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT › Part 120 - STATE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM › Section 120.40 - Allocation

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) General
			 Allocation - Under the conditions of the Community Services Block Grant, the
			 State disbursed, for fiscal year 1982 only, 90 percent of the funds allotted
			 thereto for purposes described in Section
			 120.10 of this Part to
			 eligible entities as defined in this Part; to disburse for fiscal year 1983,
			 and for each subsequent fiscal year, not less than 90 percent of the funds
			 allotted to the State in grants to eligible entities as defined in Sections 673
			 and 675C of the Act (
			 42
			 USC 9902 and
			 9907 ) and in
			 Section
			 120.60
			 and to expend not more than 5 percent of its allotment for administrative
			 expenses at the State level.
b)
			 Grantee Allocation for Calendar Year 1982 - The State disbursed 90 percent of
			 the CSBG program funds to existing Community Action Agencies by a formula based
			 on the average of two amounts: one calculated on the basis of the previous
			 federal fiscal year 1981 Community Services Administration funding and the
			 other amount based on the Grantee's jurisdictional share of the State's poverty
			 population according to the most recent decennial census.
c) Grantee Allocation for Calendar Year 1983
			 and Subsequent Fiscal Years - The State will allocate 90 percent of the CSBG
			 program funds to eligible entities who collectively represent all of Illinois'
			 102 counties and the City of Chicago. Ninety percent of this allocation will be
			 based upon the Grantee's jurisdictional share of the State's poverty
			 population. The remaining ten percent will be similarly allocated, however, in
			 such a manner as to best enhance the CSBG program objectives, and will include
			 consideration of agency performance evaluations and State program
			 priorities.
d) CSBG Discretionary
			 Funds - The 5% non-earmarked or discretionary funds will be used to fund
			 various types of low-income assistance projects. This includes but is not
			 limited to the following:
1) provide training
			 and technical assistance to those entities in need of such training and
			 assistance;
2) coordinating
			 State-operated programs and services, and at the option of the State,
			 locally-operated programs and services, targeted to low-income children and
			 families with services provided by eligible entities and other organizations
			 funded under the federal statute, including detailing appropriate employees of
			 State or local agencies to entities funded under the federal statute to ensure
			 increased access to services provided by such State or local
			 agencies;
3) supporting statewide
			 coordination and communication among eligible entities;
4) analyzing the distribution of funds made
			 available under the federal statute within the State to determine if such funds
			 have been targeted to the areas of greatest need;
5) supporting asset-building programs for
			 low-income individuals, such as programs supporting individual development
			 accounts;
6) supporting innovative
			 programs and activities conducted by community action agencies or other
			 neighborhood-based organizations to eliminate poverty, promote
			 self-sufficiency, and promote community revitalization; and
7) supporting other activities, consistent
			 with the purposes of the federal statute (
			 42
			 USC 9907(b)(1)(A)-(G)
			 ).
