other sites where work under the grant takes place. Categorical descriptions may be used (e.g.,
all vehicles of a mass transit authority or State highway department while in operation, State
employees in each local unemployment office, performers in concert halls or radio studios).
(7) If the workplace identified to the agency changes during the performance of the grant, the
grantee shall inform the agency of the change(s), if it previously identified the workplaces in
question (see paragraph five).
(8) Definitions of terms in the Nonprocurement Suspension and Debarment common rule and
Drug-Free Workplace common rule apply to this certification. Grantees’ attention is called, in
particular, to the following definitions from these rules:
Controlled substance means a controlled substance in Schedules I through V of the Controlled
Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 812) and as further defined by regulation (21 CFR 1308.11 through

sentence, or both, by any judicial body charged with the responsibility to determine violations
of the Federal or State criminal drug statutes;

Attachment)4–)Monitoring)Procedures)
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
COMMUNITY SERVICES BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
MONITORING PROCEDURES
Purpose
The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Legislation requires the State to conduct a full on-
site review of the Community Action Agency (CAA) at least once during each three-year period.
The goal of monitoring is to determine if the CAA is meeting the performance goals,
administrative standards and financial management requirements in compliance with the
federal and local statutes and grant requirement governing the CSBG program.
While a full on-site review is required every three years, monitoring is an ongoing process to
assess the CAA’s performance and to support the CAA in building capacity to meet program
goals. The CSBG State office conducts on-site monitoring annually, with the comprehensive
monitoring exercise occurring every three years. Effective 2017, the comprehensive monitoring
exercise will be inclusive of the organizational standards.
Monitoring Activity
Monitoring of the CAA is accomplished through activities which include:
• Desk Review of documents/reports – During the program year, as documents are
received, the CSBG State office staff will conduct a desk review of Board Minutes, Board
member listing/status, monthly reports, fiscal reports, and monitoring reports by other
funders.
• Assessment of Organizational Standards – If the CAA is scheduled for triennial
monitoring, the assessment will be a component of this exercise. For interim years, an
annual assessment will be conducted using one of two approaches, State on-site
assessment or CAA self-assessment with State or third-party verification.
• On-Site Visits – A comprehensive, on-site monitoring of the CAA will be conducted at
least every three years in compliance with the CSBG legislation. However, monitoring
may occur more frequently, as appropriate, to include cases in which the CAA has had
other grants, Federal or local terminated for cause.
Government of the District of Columbia Department of Human Services
CSBG State Plan & Application Fiscal Years 2025 - 2026
Attachment 3 Service Delivery Network 87
• Newly Designated CAA – The CSBG State office shall conduct an on-site review of a
newly designated eligible entity/CAA upon completion of the first year of receiving CSBG
funding.
Monitoring Process
• Scheduling On-Site Visit – State staff will contact the CAA’s Executive Director to
identify a timeframe for the Comprehensive Monitoring Exercise. Once this is
confirmed, a letter will be sent to the Executive Director, outlining the specifics of the
visit, including the areas to be monitored, specific documents to be reviewed, tentative
schedule for the period of the exercise, board/staff to be interviewed and any other
pertinent information that will aid in facilitating the process.
• Entrance Conference - On the first day of the On-Site visit, the State CSBG staff will
conduct an entrance conference which will cover the purpose of the visit (legislative
mandate for assessment of compliance and performance), how it will be conducted
(areas to be covered) and the plan/purpose of the exit interview. This is also an
opportunity to address any concerns.
• Monitoring Tool – The monitoring tool will cover the following areas:
Ø Board Governance
Ø Administrative/Program Operations
Ø Fiscal Operations
Ø Organizational Structure
Ø Case Record Reviews
Ø Community Partnerships
Ø Customer Surveys
• Exit Conference – At the conclusion of the on-site monitoring, an exit conference will be
held with the CAA’s Executive Director and/or designated staff to provide feedback on
the agency’s strengths and those areas tentatively identified as out of compliance. All
discussions of strengths and/or findings should be supported by reference to specific
documents reviewed or observations made. The conference also provides an
opportunity for the CAA to comment on or provide additional information or
documentation available to verify compliance regarding a potential finding.
It is important for the State CSBG staff to note that the findings discussed at the
conference are not final and that follow up communication and visits may be required
to obtain additional documentation or verify information. The CAA should be informed
Government of the District of Columbia Department of Human Services
CSBG State Plan & Application Fiscal Years 2025 - 2026
Attachment 3 Service Delivery Network 88
that the official findings will be provided in the written report once it has been reviewed
and approved by the State CSBG Administrator.
Preparing the Report
• Findings and Required Corrective Action – Each deficiency and/or area of
noncompliance should be identified by a topic line, include a brief statement of why the
grantee is out of compliance with a program requirement and cite the source of the
requirement. A general narrative description should be provided for each finding.
• Observations and Recommendations – In reviewing policies, procedures or other
activity, observations made may not meet the criteria as a reportable finding but may
provide the opportunity for potential improvement in the CAA’s effectiveness and/or
efficiency. These should be included in the report as “Observations” and should be
presented in a cause-effect format, providing a clear statement of the observation and
the effect it is having on the agency’s operation. This should be followed by specific
suggestions or recommendations for change. It is important to note that “observations”
should not only address those areas for improvement but also commend the CAA for
those areas in which they have excelled.
• Report – A report including findings, observations and recommendations, where
indicated, will be submitted to the CAA within 30 days of the review. The CAA will have
30 days from initial receipt to provide comments to the State CSBG office.
Within 30 days of receipt of the CAA’s comments, the State will issue a report. This
report will re-state relevant information from the initial report, include comments
received from the CAA and an explanation for changes made or not made based on the
information received from the CAA.
Corrective Action
• Grantee Response – The CAA is required to respond in writing to each of the findings
and observations listed in the report, providing a detailed plan for corrective action –
action to be taken, person responsible and timeline for completion. The plan is due to
the State within 60 days of receiving the report.
• State’s Response - Within 30 days of receipt of the CAA’s corrective action plan, the
State will review and provide a written response to the CAA approving the plan or
stating why the plan cannot be approved. If not approved, the State will make a
determination of how to proceed which may include a resubmission of the corrective
action plan or moving toward termination or reduction in funding pursuant to the CSBG
Act, (42 USC 9915.Sec.678C) and guidance provided by CSBG IM 116.

• Follow-Up Review – If the corrective action plan is approved, the State CSBG program
staff will monitor the CAA’s progress towards compliance. As deemed necessary, on-site
follow-up reviews will be conducted. During the follow-up review, each finding listed in
the original report will be addressed and documented as being “corrected,” “not
corrected,” or “in progress.” Any findings not corrected will continue to be documented
in subsequent site visit reports until satisfactorily corrected and closed as a result of
providing verification of compliance. Throughout the process, training and technical
assistance will be made available to assist the CAA in achieving resolution of all finding
in a timely manner.
Close Out of Findings
• Findings Resolution – Within 30 days of receiving documentation that the finding(s)
have been resolved, the State will provide to the CAA written notification of closure of
finding(s).
Conclusion
Monitoring process is a means of assessing whether the overall objectives of CSBG are being
met. Through this process, the State is able to determine the CAA’s strengths and target
training and technical assistance to those areas in need of improvement. Overall, the ultimate
goal is to ensure that the Community Action Agency, through the use of the CSBG is having the
optimal impact on the lives of the low-income residence in the District of Columbia.

st
century skills and
work experience of student/trainees to enable them to obtain higher wages, sustainable employment
and enhanced skills for higher degrees of self-sufficiency and independence. Students now learn, in
addition to trade skills, effective jobsite communication, problem solving, professional behavior, and
organizational skills necessary for successful careers.
IT Help Desk and Desktop Support Training
The eligible entity has partnered with The H.O.P.E. Project (THP) to provide rigorous and demanding
Information Technology (IT) Help Desk training to disadvantaged youth in the District of Columbia,
most of whom are unemployed or underemployed, thereby providing them with marketable skills and
helping them create a pathway to self-sufficiency.
The custom designed IT training program, includes help desk training, CompTIA A+ certification
training, technical professional development, and career and social coaching. The training is
conducted in three phases. During Phase I, each trainee spends 10 weeks learning occupational skills,
and preparing for the CompTIA A+ certification and Windows Administration. In Phase II, trainees
spend 4 days each week in Work Readiness workshops and the remaining day at a structured career
exploration activity including guest lectures and site visits. Finally, Phase III provides trainees with
invaluable on-the-job training at Help Desk internships prior to graduating and earning full time
employment in the IT industry.
Program participants are mentored by successful graduates of the Help Desk program who work for
the Federal and District government and major corporations throughout the region. Additionally,
participants are introduced to the Help Desk Institute (HDI), the professional association and
certification body for the technical service and support industry. HDI advances the technical service
and support industry by providing high-quality professional development opportunities for individuals
and support centers. The eligible entity in partnership with The HOPE Project has become the official
supported career training program of the HDI National Capital Region Chapter. Program participants
attend HDI monthly meetings to learn from industry experts, Help Desk managers and to network with
IT professionals.
The program has attracted more than 500 youth and young adults to information sessions to educate
and enlighten potential applicants about the unique training. Over 74% of graduates are employed
full-time and earning an average of $38,000 annually. Forty percent (40%) of the graduates have
successfully passed the CompTIA exam. To address the low rate of CompTIA certificate holders, the
Help Desk training program has instituted a new policy requiring graduates to complete the certification

exam. In the past, students were obtaining employment offers prior to graduation and forgoing the
certification exam to instead take full-time employment opportunities. The Help Desk training program
has produced graduates with salaries as high as $53,000. A testament to the rigorous training and
emphasis on reliability and accountability the training provides is the astounding employment retention
rate (96%). Nearly all of training graduates have continued to advance in the IT field after their initial
job placement. This program has garnered local and national attention and has been profiled by
CompTIA, BET News, National Journal, The Washington Post, WJLA News Channel 7, WUSA News
Channel 9, and many other media outlets.
