returned to the COUNTY.

award amount to the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.

LEGAL AID SERVICES OF COLLIER COUNTY,INC.D/B/A LEGAL AID SERVICE OF COLLIER COUNTY
PS22-03
Legal Services to Victims Page 13

certified mail, CHS may require that a portion of the awarded grant amount or the

returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require SUBRECIPIENT to return upwards of 10 percent of the
award amount to the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
