-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Legislative Authority: Sections 678A(a)(1)(A) of the Community 
Services Block Grant (CSBG) Act of 1981, (Pub. L. 97-35) as amended by 
the Community Opportunities, Accountability, and Training and 
Educational Services (COATES) Human Services Reauthorization Act of 
1998, (Pub. L. 105-285) authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services (HHS) to use a percentage of appropriated funds for training 
technical assistance, planning, evaluation, performance measurement, 
monitoring, assistance for States in carrying out corrective actions 
and the correction of programmatic deficiencies of eligible entities 
under the CSBG Act.
    Amount of Award: $50,926.
    Project Period: 9/30/2007-9/29/2008.

Summary

    This notice announces that the Administration for Children and 
Families (ACF), Office of Community Services intends to award a single-
source program expansion to Community Action Program Legal Services, 
Inc (CAPLAW) located in Boston, MA in the amount of $50,926. This award 
will enhance CAPLAW's ability to advise and educate Community Action 
Agencies on legal issues with regard to effective operation and 
management. State agencies administering the CSBG program would be 
provided legal advice. This is particularly critical at this time due 
to the increased emphasis by funding sources on compliance with federal 
grants requirements and to changes in laws applicable to Community 
Action Agencies and programs they administer. CAPLAW would use the 
increased funding to hire an additional full-time attorney and an 
additional part-time staff person to handle communications and other 
administration.
