Section 950.120  Award of Grants

a)         The Director will award grants to applicants until all the grant money for that period is expended or all grants have been awarded.  The Director may impose additional or lesser requirements for the grant [505 ILCS 19/15(b)] as deemed necessary and may change the amount recommended by the Review Committee if the grant amount does not meet the requirements of Section 950.110.

b)         If the Review Committee recommends to award a grant less than the amount requested, and the Director concurs, the Department shall confer with the applicant to determine whether a reduction in the grant request will preclude the applicant from performing the project's stated or modified scope of work. The Director will consider the applicant's response in deciding whether to award a grant for that project.
