Summary

States can get a grant only if they agree that no more than 10 percent of the money will pay administrative costs. The State must give the Secretary a written plan saying how the grant will be used. The plan must say how many people will get services, the average cost per person, and how the programs will be coordinated with other public or private programs. The State must also file an application that includes that plan, gives assurances the State will follow the rules the Secretary requires, and provides any other information the Secretary asks for. The Secretary must evaluate every demonstration project funded and must send a report of the findings to Congress within six months after the evaluations are finished. Money is authorized as follows: $5,000,000 for each fiscal year 1988 through 1990, $7,500,000 for fiscal year 1991, and whatever sums are needed for fiscal years 1992 and 1993.
