DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Implementation of Single Application for Assistance

[27 Pa.B. 2560]

   The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) gives notice of the implementation of a Single Application for all financing programs.

   Effective July 1, 1997, DCED will be implementing a Single Application for all financing programs. All requests for DCED assistance after this date must be submitted on the new application form.

   The new application form will also introduce some procedural changes which will affect several DCED programs:

   1.  Requests for assistance can be submitted at any time throughout the year, as opposed to the predetermined application period which currently affects some DCED programs.

   2.  Organizations applying for multiple forms of assistance may now do so on one application form. The Single Application will eliminate the need to apply to each funding source separately.

   The following funding sources will be affected by this change:

   Appalachian Regional Commission
Communities of Opportunity
Community Development Block Grant
Community Revitalization Program
Community Services Block Grant
Customized Job Training
Emergency Shelter Grant Program
Employment and Community Conservation
Enterprise Zone Program
