	This is to advise counties that certain program allocations administered by the Division of Transitional Supports, which were to expire on June 30, 2003, have been re-appropriated.  The re-appropriated program allocations will allow expenditures to be made by June 30, 2004, and claimed by August 15, 2004; the effected programs are:

		BILT
		Domestic Violence Liaison (DV L)
		Drug and Alcohol (TANF Assessment and Enhanced Services)
		TANF Services Block Grant
		Transitional Opportunities Program (TOP)
		Safety Net Assistance Program (SNAP)
		TANF Special Initiatives
		Non Residential Domestic Violence (Rounds 1 and 2*)

		*Please note that the Round 1 Allocation is administered by OCFS

	As a reminder, unspent funds from CY2001 Block Grant, CY2001 Drug and Alcohol, and CY2001 Domestic Violence Liaison Allocations will be rolled over into the respective CY2003 Allocations. Counties will be notified once rollover amounts are determined.  

	Finally, the Division of Transitional Supports and Policy is working with the Division of Budget and other involved state agencies, in developing TANF Allocations for State Fiscal Year 2003-2004. Once these allocations are finalized you will be immediately informed.
