If the applicant is acquiring a site with existing improvements and renovating the improvements for use as a community mental health, addiction, or developmental disabilities facility, and if the applicant will not be using a federal grant, then the total project costs, including costs applicable to the acquisition of this site and existing improvements, are eligible for State participation.

State participation shall be limited to the lesser of the value approved by the Department of General Services based upon the appraisals or actual acquisition cost.
