§ 12775 Limited Purpose Agency Funding

Key Takeaways

  • •A 'limited purpose agency' is a special group that got money from the government in 1981 and has been working ever since to help people.
  • •These agencies must focus on helping people with training, support, or other special programs.
  • •If they get money from the state, they have to follow the rules about how to spend it and manage their work.
  • •These agencies can't easily lose their funding if they've been doing a good job.

Example

A local group that has been teaching job skills to people in need since the 1980s gets money from the state every year.

This group is a 'limited purpose agency' because it started getting money in 1981 and still helps people by teaching them job skills. The state can't suddenly stop giving them money if they're doing a good job and following the rules.
