a) Distribution of
				Funds
Grant awards will be made according to the application
				  evaluation processes described in Sections
				  110.91,
				  110.92,
				  110.93,
				  110.94,
				  110.95,
				  110.101,
				  110.102,
				  110.103
				  and
				  110.106.
b) Funding Considerations
1) Grant Ceilings. Grant ceilings for the
				various components listed in Section
				110.60
				establish the maximum grant award limits that an eligible applicant may
				request. Needs expressed by interested citizens and local elected officials
				(see Section
				110.10(b)(2)(C)
				), the amount of annual allocation, and a review of past program component
				usage shall be factors in the Department's determination of the grant ceiling
				on an annual basis.
A) Eligible applicants may
				only submit one application and may only receive one grant in any one program
				year under competitive program components: Public Infrastructure and Housing
				Rehabilitation.
B) On occasion, the
				Department will review the technical feasibility of a project. If the review
				requires non-Departmental expertise (e.g., water and sewer permits), the
				Department will coordinate with other agencies (e.g., Environmental Protection
				Agency (EPA), Department of Public Health (DPH), USDA Rural Development) to
				review the technical feasibility of the project.
C) In determining the appropriate grant award
				amount, the Department shall consider the following:
i) Project Need: Project need shall be
				determined using standards found in Sections
				110.90(b)(3);
				110.91(b)(3)(A),
				(C), (D) and (E);
				110.92(b)(3);
				110.93(b)(3);
				110.94(b)(3);
				110.95;
				110.101(b);
				110.102; and
				110.103(b),
				as applicable.
ii) Ability to Carry
				Out the Project: Determination of the ability to successfully complete the
				proposed project shall be based upon elements such as previous program
				performance, experience, and scope of the proposed program.
iii) Proposed Activities: A review of the
				proposed activities shall be based on a determination of whether the program
				objectives will be met through the proposed activities as set out in Sections
				110.90, 110.91, 110.92, 110.93, 110.94 and 110.95.
D) The Department may withdraw, suspend or
				terminate grant funding based on the following:
i) If the Department approves an application
				but, prior to the execution of a Grant Agreement, it learns or has a reasonable
				belief that the project will not progress or is unlikely to be completed as
				originally anticipated, due to unforeseen facts and circumstances not
				previously known during or subsequent to the application process, it may
				withdraw its commitment of funds. If the Department withdraws its commitment of
				funds, it shall provide written notification to the applicant advising it of
				the withdrawal and setting forth the reasons for the withdrawal.
ii) If the Department approves an application
				and a Grant Agreement has been executed, the Department may only suspend or
				terminate the Grant Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set
				forth in the Grant Agreement or the conditions described in 47 Ill. Adm. Code
				1.110.
