• ACYF-PI-CC-02-01 contains the procedures that apply to most Tribes, whether they are current grantees or new applicants.
  
  
• ACYF-PI-CC-02-02 contains the procedures for Tribes that choose to consolidate the CCDF program with other employment and training funding sources under an approved P.L. 102-477 plan.

Construction and Renovation

Tribal Lead Agencies must first request and receive approval from ACF through a separate application process before using CCDF funds for construction or major renovation (see Program Instruction ACYF-PI-CC-01-01, dated February 5, 2001).
We would like to remind you of upcoming deadlines related to the construction and renovation procedures:

• If you plan to submit an application to use FY 2002 CCDF funds for construction or renovation, your ACF Regional Office must receive your construction/renovation application prior to July 1, 2002.

• Tribal Lead Agencies with FY 2000 funds in a separate grant award for construction or renovation must liquidate these funds by September 30, 2002.
