§ 1208.2-2 - Local support.

An ACTION grant may be awarded to fund up to 90% of the cost of development and operation of a Foster Grandparent project. The sponsor is required to contribute at least 10% of the total project cost. Stipend payments in excess of the amount established by ACTION may not be included as part of the local support commitment. In exceptional circumstances the Director may approve assistance for more than 90% of the total project cost if:

(a) The project is located in an area where local resources are too limited to provide 10%; or

(b) A test project is determined to be of exceptional value, sufficient to warrant Federal support in excess of 90% of the total project cost.
