The purpose of this Local Commissioners Memorandum (LCM) is to transmit to social services districts the Chafee Foster Care Independence Program (CFCIP) allocations from the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2011-2012 funds. The allocations contained in Attachment A to this memorandum may be used for Independent Living (IL) services expenditures made October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012, and claimed by March 31, 2013, and will be paid up to the amount of the allocation and subject to a 20 percent state/local match requirement. Unclaimed allocation amounts will be redistributed to other districts that have claims in excess of the allocation, or used to support Office of Children and Family Services' (OCFS) activities related to implementation of the Chafee Foster Care Independence Act, allowing New York State to maximize its use of funds available under this federal funding stream. This memorandum also describes the methodology for determining the FFY 2011-2012 allocations.
