Section XVII-103 - Identification of Eligible Entities

A. Those organizations which were designated as a Community Action Agency or a Community Action Program under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 for fiscal year 1981 are qualified recipients for 90 percent of funds under the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act. Not more than 7 percent of these funds in each fiscal year may be used to designate other qualified community action agencies to serve areas not previously served by an existing eligible entity as defined by the Act.

B. If any geographic area of the state is not, or ceases to be served by an eligible entity, the governor may decide to serve the area by:

1. requesting an eligible entity which is located and provides services in an area contiguous to the new area to serve the new area;

2. if no eligible entity is located and provides services in an area contiguous to the new area, requesting the eligible entity located closest to the area to be served or an existing eligible entity serving an area within reasonable proximity of the new area to provide services in the new area; or

3. where no existing eligible entity requested to serve the new area decides to do so, designating an existing eligible entity, any organization which has a board meeting the requirements of Section 675(c)(3) or any political subdivision of the state to serve the new area shall qualify such organization as an eligible entity under this Act.
