  • Appendix D:USES OF STATE SET-ASIDE
  • Exhibit D-1:Uses of 5% State Set-Aside, by State (1998-1999)

Appendix D

USES OF STATE SET-ASIDE

  • The PCSP legislation specifies that state grantees may reserve up to 5% of their total grant for administrative purposes at the state level. Most state coordinators indicated that they retain 5% of their state?s total funding, but some states take smaller amounts.
  • Respondents from the seventeen states displayed in Exhibit D-1 provided a breakdown of the state portion of their PCSP grant for 1998-99. The budgeting categories listed below matched the budget page in the PCSP application. The largest expenditure category is salaries, with a mean of about $45,000 allocated to this purpose per state.
