No more than 5% of the Program’s budget may be used to cover administrative costs of the Program. All remaining funding shall be allocated for food purchase only. Program funds may not be used for equipment or other capital expenditures. The Department shall: adopt a formula and qualifications for allocating Program funds to the counties based on county-wide statistics for: the number of families living in poverty; the unemployment rate; and the number of families receiving food stamps; submit annually to the State Advisory Council on Hunger a report detailing: the total appropriations for the Program for the current and prior fiscal years, including the amount allocated for administrative costs, the amount allocated to each administering agency, and the amount allocated to emergency food providers in each county; and how many units of service were provided in each county; and notify each county through the administering agency of the availability of Program funds under item (1) of this subsection. Each administering agency shall apply to the Department for a Program grant. The application shall include the procedures that the administering agency will use to: notify emergency food providers of the availability of Program grants; approve emergency food providers as recipients of Program grants; and allocate Program grants among approved emergency food providers. Before an administering agency may receive a Program grant, the Department must approve the application.
