This section describes the methods by which undistributed funds, disencumbered funds, additional funds received from HUD, and program income will be redistributed.

A. ADMINISTRATIVE REDISTRIBUTION OF GRANT FUNDS

1. Local Government Grants from the State: Local governments receiving grants as a result of the 2000 CDBG program but failing to have their projects substantially underway (staff hired, environmental review complete, program costs obligated) within twelve months of the grant award, may have their grant rescinded by DECD. Unexpended grant funds may be added to any open CDBG contract, used to make additional awards in any 2000 CDBG program, or added to the available monies for the 2000 or 2001 competition.

Unexpended funds remaining in the grantee's CDBG account at grant closeout, funds remaining in a grantee's award but not drawndown upon grant closeout and funds returned to DECD because of disallowed costs may be added to any open CDBG contract, used to make additional awards in any 2000 CDBG program or added to the available monies for the 2000 or 2001 competition.

2. Unallocated State Grants To Local Governments: Unallocated grant funds resulting from lack of adequate program competition or demand in any of the available 1999 CDBG programs may be added to any open CDBG contract, used to make additional awards in any 2000 CDBG program or added to the available monies for the 2000 or 2001 competition.

3. Basis for Redistribution: The decision to redistribute funds will be made after staff evaluation of the following: the total funds available, requests for additional funding from current CDBG grantees, any applicants that received scores above the specified point threshold in 2000 competitions but did not receive funding and the possibility of holding additional competitions during the 2000 Program. In all cases, these additional competitions and the subsequent programs developed will be subject to the 2000 Program Statement.

In no case will the total of the original grant award and any redistributed funds to that grant exceed the maximum grant award for that program.

B. PROGRAM INCOME

As used in this Proposed Statement, "Program Income" means the gross income received by a grantee from any grant-supported activity. Applicants will refer to the CDBG Regulations and the Maine Office of Community Development policies on program income.
