Priority shall be given to existing CSBG eligible entities in good standing with DCA that are providing related services in the specified county or in areas contiguous to or within reasonable proximity to the specified county. Selection will be based on the entity’s experience and performance in related federal or state programs in assisting low-income persons in the area to be served, and the entity’s capacity to undertake a timely and effective program. The following qualities will be reviewed: (1) the extent to which the past or current program achieved or is achieving goals in a timely fashion; (2) the quality of work performed by the entity; (3) the number, qualifications, and experience of the staff members of the entity; and (4) the ability to maintain compliance with administrative and financial management requirements. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN: After this hearing, DCA will review the applications received and make a decision regarding each entity’s eligibility to provide program services in Flagler County.
