Q: I noticed the separation of Award Ranges for Cook County ($17,500-$350,000) and Outside of Cook County ($17,500-$200,000). Since our involvement with the 230 Program, it has been our position to receive referrals from anywhere in the State, including but not limited to Cook County. Are we to now decide which area we want to serve (Cook County OR all other IL Counties) and budget accordingly? Or is there some flexibility in continuing to serve the State as a whole?
A: Section II.A.6 of the Notice of Funding Opportunity states "More than one application per entity is permitted; Agencies may submit one application that is Cook County specific and one application for programming in another county or counties."
Agencies who wish to apply to perform grant-funded activities in both Cook County and any other portion of the state are encouraged to submit multiple applications each fully describing the scope of their proposed programming and the budgetary requirements to perform these activities in each region.
