8.6 What is your process for selecting local administering agencies?
In selecting a local agency, preference is given to any CAA or other public nonprofit entity which has, or is currently administering an effective program under any low-income energy assistance or weatherization program. Program effectiveness is evaluated by considering the following factors including, but not necessarily limited to: 1) The extent to which the past or current program achieved or is achieving LIHEAP goals in a timely fashion; 2) Meeting the fiscal requirements established in regulations and state policies; 3) The quality of service delivered by the local agency; 4) The number of qualifications and experience of the staff members of the agency; and 5) The location and proximity to the vacant territory. Local agencies responding to a formal request for proposals are required to attend a hearing conducted by LHC to present their proposal and answer questions.
