22VAC40-901-80: Evaluation of requests for designation as a new community action agency

The department is responsible for evaluating and making recommendations to the Governor on any request for the designation of a new community action agency. This evaluation can include onsite monitoring and requests for additional information and documentation. Upon completion of this evaluation, the department will forward to the Secretary of Health and Human Resources a recommendation on what action the Governor should take regarding designation of the community organization or locality as a community action agency. If the Governor designates the community organization or locality as a community action agency, the department will issue a Community Services Block Grant contract with the organization or localities that will be effective the July 1 following the designation.
