1-Certification Letter.docx

This is a Certification Letter from the Aging and Long Term Services Department of New Mexico for capital outlay funding applications directed to senior centers. The letter serves as a formal acknowledgment by a fiscal agent administering a senior center facility project, confirming the agency's willingness and financial capacity to manage the project in compliance with applicable procurement, fiscal, reporting, and reimbursement requirements. Eligible project categories include existing-facility improvements, code and accessibility corrections, building-system modernization and replacement, and facility additions. The certification requires completion of fields identifying the senior center facility, application type, project title, amount requested, fiscal agent details, advance-funding source, and authorized representative information including name, title, email, telephone, and signature with date.

The capital outlay appropriation is structured as reimbursement-based funding, requiring the fiscal agent to advance project costs before receiving reimbursement from the state. The fiscal agent must assume full financial responsibility for the requested amount, subject to the grant agreement and available appropriation authority. Applicants are required to submit complete reimbursement requests with supporting documentation and demonstrate financial capacity to sustain project costs throughout the reimbursement cycle. The funding source originates from New Mexico state appropriations designated for senior center capital improvements under the Aging and Long Term Services Department's capital outlay program.
