|                                  Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grantees often partner with subrecipients to carry out their grant-funded activities. Newly streamlined and reformatted, the updated Playing by the Rules: A Handbook for CDBG Subrecipients on Administrative Systems reflects the Omnibus Circular (2 CFR 200) and other regulatory and administrative changes. This handbook provides guidance to help subrecipients:       	- Understand the basic administrative requirements of the CDBG program
   	- Improve the management of program activities through strong business practices
   	- Enhance program performance by tracking, reporting, and evaluating program activities and outcomes
   	- Ensure accountability and clean audits by documenting compliance with CDBG regulations
        As a learning tool, each chapter provides a quiz to test your understanding of the content. As an ongoing resource, this handbook will be a quick reference for information and resources.                               |
