22VAC40-901-90. Funding for expanded or new community action agencies.
A. As a basis for determining funding for new or expanded community action agencies, the department will use the total number of low-income persons, localities, and square miles that are included in the service area of Virginia's network of existing, expanded, and new community action agencies. The number of low-income persons will be based on the most recent census data. An allocation of funds for new or expanded community action agencies will be developed based on the following formula:
1. 75% based on the number of low-income persons living in the service area compared to the total number of low-income persons in the network;
2. 20% based on the number of localities in the service area compared to the total number of localities in the network; and
3. 5.0% percent based on the number of square miles contained in the service area compared to the total square miles in the network.
B. When an existing community action agency has expanded its service area, the agency's new allocation will be the greater of their current allocation or their allocation based on the formula in subsection A of this section.
C. When a new community action agency is designated, the allocation will be based on the formula in subsection A of this section.
