(2) The program’s use of the award to maximize the services provided to clients who would not otherwise be served.
(3) The likelihood that the program will be able to maintain the new level of service after the funds granted are depleted.
The awards shall be equitably distributed to programs in northern and southern California. At least one-fourth of the funds shall be distributed to rural programs.
