                                  AN ACT

     Authorizing grants by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to duly
        constituted community action agencies providing conditions
        and making an appropriation.

        Compiler's Note:  Section 301(a)(9) of Act 58 of 1996, which
            created the Department of Community and Economic
            Development and abolished the Department of Community
            Affairs, provided that housing, community assistance and
            other functions under Act 9 are transferred from the
            Department of Community Affairs to the Department of
            Community and Economic Development.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  Community action agencies recognized under the
     Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, as amended, which coordinate
     economic opportunity programs for cities, boroughs, towns,
     townships and counties within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
     may receive grants through the Department of Community Affairs
     not to exceed ten per cent of the total cost of the community
     action program.
        Section 2.  The Department of Community Affairs shall
     administer this program and may provide rules and regulations
     necessary to administer the grants. Contracts between the
     Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, acting through the Department of
     Community Affairs and the community action agency receiving the
     grant, shall be executed, setting forth the amount and
     conditions of the grant and provide for the return of any unused
     portions thereof to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
        Section 3.  The sum of three million dollars ($3,000,000), or
     as much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated to
     the Department of Community Affairs to be expended by making
     grants for carrying out the purposes of this act.
        Section 4.  This act shall take effect July 1, 1967.
