Section 676A(a) of the Community Services Block Grant Act ( 42 U.S.C. 9909(a) ) is amended to read as follows: If any geographic area of a State is not, or ceases to be, served by an eligible entity under this subtitle, the State lead agency may, in consultation with local officials and organizations representing the area, solicit one or more applications and designate a new community action agency to provide programs, projects, and services to the area, that is— a community action agency that is a private, nonprofit organization and that is geographically located in an area in reasonable proximity of, or contiguous to, the unserved area and that is already providing similar programs, projects, and services, and that has demonstrated financial capacity to manage and account for Federal funds; or if no community action agency described in subparagraph
(A)is available, a private, nonprofit organization (which may include an eligible entity) that is geographically located in, or is in reasonable proximity to, the unserved area and that is capable of providing a broad range of programs, projects, and services designed to achieve the purposes of this subtitle as stated in section 672. In order to serve as the eligible entity for the area, an entity described in paragraph
(1)shall agree to ensure that the governing board of directors of the entity will meet the requirements of section 676B. A service area referred to in this subsection or a portion thereof shall be treated as a community for purposes of this subtitle. If no entity that meets the requirements of subsection
(a)is available for designation as a permanent eligible entity, the State may designate a private, nonprofit agency (or public agency if a private nonprofit is not available) on an interim basis for no more than one year while the State completes a selection process for a permanent eligible entity that meets the requirements of subsection (a). An agency designated on an interim basis shall be capable of providing programs, projects, and services designed to achieve the purposes described in section 672 and have demonstrated financial capacity to manage and account for Federal funds, and may be designated as a permanent eligible entity only if, by the time of permanent designation, it meets all the requirements of paragraphs
(1)and (2). .
