A 24-hour crisis intervention response system is available in emergency situations for referrals from youth, parents/guardians, police, courts, and schools, Safe Place and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). In order to ensure that services are available statewide, the state is divided into a coextensive system of Local Area Networks (LANs) with provider agencies responsible for providing CCBYS services throughout the LANs for which they receive funding. 1.

Discretionary (Non-Crisis) Programming Individualized services for youth may be provided as resources allow, at the discretion of the CCBYS agency, and based on the individualized needs of the youth in the community. Any youth who are 11-17 years of age and at risk of involvement with the child welfare and/or juvenile justice system may be eligible for CCBYS discretionary services.

a) Formula and Matching Requirements Providers are required to provide in-kind and/or financial match from local public or private resources to supplement the RUR grant. Funds for this grant will be a mixture of state general revenue (GR) and federal funding. Please read carefully below as the match requirement and approved sources are different for State and Federal funds. State General Revenue (GR) Funds: The state funding requires a 10% match calculated as follows: GR grant amount x .10 = required match for the GR portion/contract. Example: $100,000 GR RUR Grant = $100,000 x .10 = $10,000 required match. Approved sources include in-kind or financial match from local public or private resources. This may include federal funding sources but may not include other state funds. By claiming a dollar as match, you will be held accountable for ensuring that the same dollar is not being claimed as match to any other source. Federal Funds: The federal portion may not exceed 75% of the total including match. Therefore, a 25% match is required for this federal portion of funds. It is calculated as follows: Federal grant amount / .75 = total amount that must be documented to meet required match. Subtract the federal grant amount from this and you will have the required match. Example: $100,000 Federal RUR Grant = $100,000 / .75 = $133,333.33. $133,333.33 - $100,000 = required match of $33,333.33. Approved sources of in-kind and financial cash match include local public or private resources. This match may not include federal funding sources or other state funds. By claiming a dollar as match, you will be held accountable for ensuring that the same dollar is not being claimed as match to any other source and that the source of the match is from approved sources. Cash Match Sources: The match may be made up of Mental Health Boards, United Way funds, corporations, local taxes, fund raising, revenue generated through client vocational training activities or certification of expenditures by local government. In-kind Match Sources: The match can include volunteers, under the supervision of qualified staff, that assist in providing direct services, facility space donated for use and provision of direct services program supplies, goods, and services donated to assist in the provision of direct services, equipment loaned or donated for the provision of direct services, direct services of provider staff after normal work hours - these staff must not be associated with the program. Additional Federal Match Requirements: Of the 25% match required- a portion must be cash and a portion may be in-kind. A minimum of 10% must be a financial cash match. The remaining amount may be in-kind or financial. The in-kind match may NOT exceed 15%. The 10% and 15% are based on the total grant plus match and are calculated as follows: 1. 10% example: $100,000 Federal RUR Grant = $100,000 / .75 = $133,333.33. $133,333.33 X .10 = minimum required cash match of $13,333.33. 2. 15% example: $100,000 Federal RUR Grant = $100,000 / .75 = $133,333.33. $133,333.33 X .15 = maximum allowed in-kind match of $19,999.99. b) Maintenance of effort (MOE). General Revenue funding to be issued under a Grant agreement for this program is NOT expected to be used by the Department as TANF MOE. c) Indirect Cost Rate Requirements: This grant does not have limitations on indirect costs. All grantees receiving awards from Illinois grant making agencies must enter State of Illinois Centralized Indirect Cost Rate Negotiation System (powered by the Crowe Review & Monitoring Platform (CRMP) via the Illinois GATA Grantee Portal to substantiate its organizations’ election regarding indirect cost reimbursement. Grantees that wish to negotiate a rate with the State of Illinois will start their election process in the Grantee Portal and the case will then be sent to CARS to begin negotiation. Grantees are expected to complete the indirect cost rate proposal process every fiscal year, based upon Grantee fiscal year-end (not State of Illinois fiscal year-end).
