In order to receive the grant, the community-based organization would be required to at least partially match the state grant with money or other resources. The organization would be authorized to combine the funds from a variety of state, local, or private sources to accomplish the purpose of the proposal. Methodology The Health and Human Services Commission would assume that an average grant would be $300,000 and that five grants would be awarded in 2002, ten in 2003, 20 in 2004, and 25 in 2005 and 2006. The Health and Human Services Commission further estimates that there would be no increased administrative costs to the commission to administer the program. Local Government Impact No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
