(c) Initiating and sponsoring projects

Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 17 - Public Assistance and Welfare Services › 470 - Community Action Agencies › Section 17-470-4 - Authority of community action agencies

Current through July 10, 2024
A community action agency shall have authority to enter into
				contracts with private and public nonprofit agencies, to receive and administer
				funds received pursuant to Chapter 311 of the Connecticut General Statutes, to
				receive and administer funds and contributions from private and local public
				sources which may be used in support of a community action program, and to
				receive and administer funds under any federal or state assistance program
				pursuant to which a public or private nonprofit agency, organized in accordance
				with this chapter could act as grantee, contractor or sponsor of projects
				appropriate for inclusion in a community action program. Community action
				agencies and limited purpose agencies previously funded by the Community
				Services Administration, subject to federal law or regulation, shall be given
				first priority in the allocation of federal funds under the Community Services
				Block Grant Act or of any subsequent federal funds that were previously
				designated as Community Services Administration funds. Such funds shall be
				distributed through an agreement between the commissioner and the community
				action agencies. The agreement will be based on criteria that include the
				percentage of population that is at or below 150% of the Federal Poverty
				Guideline established by the Office of Management and Budget in each Community
				Action Agency service district; the demography of each Community Action Agency
				service area; the availability of funds; and the discretion of the
				Commissioner. If such agreement is not reached by four weeks before the block
				grant plan is to be submitted to the general assembly pursuant to section
				4-28b,
				the governor and the commissioner shall make the final decision on
				distribution. In the event the community services block grant is eliminated,
				each community action agency shall also be given due consideration, subject to
				the restrictions of applicable law or regulations, in the distribution of
				federal, state or municipal funds that are available to support antipoverty
				programs that have been administered by that agency on or after July 1, 1981. A
				community action agency, subject to the approval of its governing board, shall
				have authority to transfer funds received and to delegate powers to other
				agencies.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 17 - Public Assistance and Welfare Services › 470 - Community Action Agencies › Section 17-470-6 - Community participation

Current through July 10, 2024
Each Community Action Agency shall establish procedures to
				assure maximum feasible participation of neighborhood based organizations,
				residents of the community and members of the groups served to assist such
				agency in prioritizing, planning, conducting and evaluating components of the
				community action program. Agency priorities established under section
				17-470-7 shall
				not be modified without substantial documentation of changed circumstances and,
				when practical, the approval of the parties involved in setting those
				priorities.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 17 - Public Assistance and Welfare Services › 470 - Community Action Agencies › Section 17-470-7 - Program priorities

Current through July 10, 2024
The priorities of a Community Action Program may include, but
				not be limited to, component projects designed to assist eligible participants,
				including the elderly poor, in attaining the following objectives:
(1) To secure and retain meaningful
			 employment;
(2) To obtain adequate
			 education;

			 education and care of young children;

			 adequate housing and a suitable living environment;
(6) To provide information and education, and
			 access to healthful nutrition;

			 To obtain services for the prevention of and rehabilitation from drug abuse and
			 alcoholism;
(8) To obtain emergency
			 assistance to meet immediate and urgent individual and family needs, including
			 the need for health services, nutritious food, housing, energy and
			 unemployment-related assistance;
(9) To remove obstacles and solve personal
			 and family problems which block the achievement of self-sufficiency;
(10) To achieve greater participation in the
			 affairs of the community;
(11) To
			 make more frequent and effective use of other programs related to the purposes
			 of Chapter 311 of the Connecticut General Statutes; and
(12) To stimulate and take full advantage of
			 capabilities for self-advancement.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 17 - Public Assistance and Welfare Services › 470 - Community Action Agencies › Section 17-470-8 - Delegation of authority

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Where
			 consistent with sound and efficient management and subject to federal law and
			 regulations and these regulations a Community Action Agency may delegate the
			 administration of component projects to delegate agency/sub-contractors. When a
			 Community Action Agency places responsibility for major policy determinations
			 with respect to the character, funding, extent and administration of, and
			 budgeting for, programs to be carried on in a particular geographic area within
			 the community in subsidiary board, council, or similar agency, such board,
			 council or agency shall be broadly representative of such area. The Community
			 Action Agency shall be responsible to the Commissioner for ensuring that the
			 delegate agency sub-contractor will comply with the terms and conditions of the
			 regulation. The Community Action Agency will execute an agreement with the
			 delegate agency/sub-contractor in the manner and form prescribed by the
			 Commissioner. The Community Action Agency may require additional contract
			 provisions to ensure compliance with applicable statutes, regulations or
			 by-laws as it sees fit to impose.
(b) Representatives of community action
			 agencies shall be recognized as knowledgeable on issues affecting low income,
			 elderly and handicapped citizens for the purposes of sharing information with
			 governmental bodies considering such issues.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 17 - Public Assistance and Welfare Services › 470 - Community Action Agencies › Section 17-470-9 - Process to revoke a community action agency designation

Current through July 10, 2024
A Community Action Agency shall lose its designation to serve a
				political subdivision, or a group of political subdivisions, only if the
				Commissioner finds after adequate notice, a written statement of reasons and a
				fair hearing held in the community served by the agency that such agency has
				materially failed to comply with Chapter 311 of the Connecticut General
				Statutes and these regulations. The procedure to revoke a Community Action
				Agency's designation is as follows:
(a) The Commissioner will inform the
			 Executive Director of the Community Action Agency in writing if he has reason
			 to believe that the Community Action Agency is in non-compliance with these
			 regulations or Chapter 311 of the Connecticut General Statutes. The
			 communication will advise the Community Action Agency on what course of action
			 will be required to come into compliance.
(b) The Community Action Agency will have
			 thirty (30) days to respond in writing to the requirements prescribed by the
			 Commissioner.
(c) The failure or
			 refusal of the Community Action Agency to come into compliance with the policy
			 as prescribed by the Commissioner within thirty (30) days of the initial
			 communication will result in a notice sent to the Chairman of the Board. This
			 notice will inform the chairman that the Community Action Agency is not in
			 compliance and will contain a written statement of the specific reasons for the
			 Commissioner's finding of noncompliance, and will outline what specific course
			 of action will be required to come into compliance.
(d) If a best effort by the Community Action
			 Agency to come into compliance has not occurred within the second 30 day time
			 period, the Commissioner will send a notice of his intent to hold a hearing.
			 This letter will be sent to the executive director and the chairman of the
			 board by registered mail and will include the place and time for the
			 hearing.
(e) The Commissioner's
			 decision on the hearing will be provided within 30 days. (f) If the decision of
			 the Commissioner is adverse to the agency, the Commissioner may provide
			 financial assistance to other public or private non profit agencies to aid them
			 in establishing a community action agency in the area no longer
			 served.
