Iowa Admin. Code r. 265-42.8
Each subrecipient of ESG program funds must provide matching contributions, according to the requirements of each competition. In calculating the amount of matching funds, the following may be included: cash contributions expended for allowable costs of the subrecipient for the ESG program or noncash contributions, including the value of any real property, equipment, goods, or services contributed to the subrecipient's ESG program provided that, if the subrecipient had to pay for them with grant funds, the costs would have been allowable. IFA may allow an exemption of matching funds up to a maximum of $100,000 of the state allocation received from HUD for the subrecipients least capable of providing such matching amounts. The subrecipient must document its need to participate in this exemption from matching requirements and must receive prior approval from IFA before the exemption will be effective.
