(a) Before an Organization may receive a grant from the Department, the county in which the Organization provides meals must make a grant to the Organization. The grant must be for the provision of home-delivered meals to the homebound elderly and disabled in that county.
(b) A county may make a grant to more than one Organization in the county.
(c) If the county makes a grant to one or more Organizations in an amount that is less than 25 cents for each person at least 60 years of age who resides in the county, according to the most recent federal decennial census, the maximum amount the Department may provide to Organizations in the county is reduced to an amount in proportion to the amount by which the county grant is less than 25 cents for each elderly resident.
