Summary

The Secretary can only give a grant to a State if the State follows certain rules. The State must spend no more than 10% of the grant on administrative costs. The State must send a plan that explains how it will use the money, including how many people will get services, the average cost per person, and how the programs will be coordinated with similar public or private services. The State must also submit an application that includes that plan, gives promises the Secretary accepts, and provides any other forms or information the Secretary requires. The Secretary must evaluate each funded demonstration project and send Congress a report of the findings within 6 months after the evaluations finish. Congress authorized $5,000,000 for each fiscal year 1988 through 1990, $7,500,000 for fiscal year 1991, and such sums as needed for fiscal years 1992 and 1993.
