This request must include the following documentation:

1. A description of the efforts made to obtain services through an existing community action agency or a community organization that could have been designated as a community action agency.

2. A resolution adopted by the locality or each of a group of localities requesting that it be designated as a community action agency. In adopting the resolution, the governing body or bodies must have allowed the opportunity for public comment.

3. A resolution adopted by the locality or each of a group of localities establishing a community action board that meets the requirements of federal and state law related to public community action agencies.

4. A plan for providing CSBG-funded services within the proposed service area. This plan must be developed with input from a variety of sources including the low-income population of the proposed service area.

The request submitted to the department will be evaluated per 22VAC40-901-80.
