As part of SB 823, $9.6 million was set aside for the Board of State and Community Corrections to “award one-time grants, to counties for the purpose of providing resources for infrastructure- related needs and improvements to assist counties in the development of a local continuum of care.” (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 2250, subd. (a).) B.

To the extent any of the provisions of the BSCC Grant Administration Guide and this agreement conflict, the language in this agreement shall prevail. B. Grantee is responsible for ensuring that invoices submitted to the BSCC claim actual expenditures for eligible project costs. C.

D. Grant funds must be used to support new program activities or to augment existing funds that expand current program activities. Grant funds shall not replace (supplant) any federal, state and/or local funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose.

PROMPT PAYMENT CLAUSE Payment will be made in accordance with, and within the time specified in, Government Code Chapter 4.5, commencing with Section 927. 6. WITHHOLDING OF GRANT DISBURSEMENTS A.
