Illinois Administrative Code › Title 14 - COMMERCE › Part 670 - HUMAN SERVICES CAPITAL INVESTMENT GRANT PROGRAM › Subpart A - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Section 670.60 - Eligible and Ineligible Grant Expenditures for Human Services Providers

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Grant expenditures for capital improvement projects must
				  comply with GATA, the Uniform Guidance and any applicable funding source, be
				  reasonable and necessary, and support the allowable grant project activities
				  set forth in Section
				  670.50.
				  Specific eligible grant costs will be set forth in the applicable NOFO,
				  dependent on the funding source and the project priorities (Section
				  670.50(c)).
a) Grants funded by Build Illinois
1) Expenditures for grants funded through
				Build Illinois must support bondable capital improvement projects (Section
				670.50(a)(1))
				for facilities owned or leased by human services providers. Eligible bondable
				capital improvement project expenditures include the following characteristics:
A) The expenditures are not recurring. In
				this context, recurring expenses are defined as those costs which are incurred
				at frequent or regular periodic intervals within the initial term of financing,
				and which would cause an accumulation of costs for the same expenditure purpose
				before the expenses initially incurred for such purpose are completely
				amortized;
B) The project is a
				physical improvement to the human services provider's facility and is of a
				durable nature not consumed in use;
C) The project reflects an extended useful
				life or longevity to the human services provider's facility, which in effect
				confers long-term (non-transitory) benefits to the citizens of the State of
				Illinois;
D) The project purposes
				are not subject to inherent risk of failure, rapid technological obsolescence,
				or primarily intended to fulfill temporary requirements or needs;
E) The project appreciably increases,
				improves, or enhances the equitable interests of the of the human services
				provider's facility, which in turn benefits the State of Illinois, or its
				legally constituted subdivisions, in the property, land, building or asset to
				be developed, constructed or improved; and
F) The expenditures are considered as
				internal components of a project, which if considered separately may not
				reflect the extended useful life, but will be bondable provided that such
				components are initially required and appreciably contribute to effective
				functioning, or are otherwise incapable of separation from a more complex unit
				which in itself is bondable.
