For funding of mandated services to youth eligible for

not recognized a local board or local service system, funds will be allocated
pursuant to 89 Ill. Adm. Code 357 Purchase of Service and 89 Ill. Adm. Code 360

3) Each
local board or local service system is required to provide 10% in-kind or

ILCS 505/17a-4(b)(4)]
4) No more than 20% of the local boards or
local service systems total award may be used for administrative purposes with
the remainder used for services described in the youth service plan and
contract.
c) The
Department will allocate the funds available under Section
334.14(b)
in the following manner:
1) Three demographic
factors are selected from the 1980 census which are directly related to
conditions which result in status offender activity by children and youth. The
three factors are:
A) The number of persons 0
through 17 years of age who are categorized as being below the poverty
threshold as defined by the U.S. Department of Commerce ( 42 USC Section 9847
and 46 FR 62674 (1981)).
B) The
number of children 0 through 17 years of age who are in single parent families
or are living independently.
C) The
number of children and youth 10 through 17 years of age.
2) The number of persons reported by the
Census Bureau for each of the demographic factors cited above are compiled on
the basis of each component of the service area. These components may be a
county, township or community area.
3) The formula assigns one-third weight to
each of the demographic factors. One-third of the appropriation is then
allocated to each of the demographic factors.
4) For each demographic factor in the
formula, a multiplier is developed based on the number of persons in each
category statewide. The actual number of persons identified in the census data
is the denominator. The numerator for the calculation of the multiplier is the
appropriation cost pool derived from the allocation of one-third of the total
appropriation passed by the Illinois General Assembly and approved by the
Governor.
d) As much as
two months payment will be advanced by the Department pursuant to 89 Ill. Adm.
Code 357, Purchase of Service. Adjustments to the total grant award shall be
completed by the last payment of the fiscal year and final reconciliation may
be adjusted after an independent audit.
