ICAA (Iowa Community Action Association)
ICAA has put together a template flyer with Energy Conservation tips. ICAA can modify the flyer, to add your agency's information and logo, if you are interested in having this available to the households you serve in your community. Please reach out to ICAA at info@iowacommunityaction.org if your agency would like a personalized flyer.
For all IDEA agendas and meeting minutes, visit the Member Page of https://iowacommunityaction.org/ , as IDEA is an Iowa Community Action Association sub-group.

DCAA Email Expenditure Report Procedures
Subgrantees of the DCAA electronically submit expense reports for CSBG, LIHEAP, FaDSS, and Weatherization (DOE, HEAP, and Utilities). The following protocol is required for electronic submission:
- Subgrantees will prepare and process their Monthly Expenditure Reports according to DCAA requirements and the subgrantee’s established process.
- Each report must have an authorized signature.
- Each report must be sent as a PDF file by separate email.
- The subject line and the PDF file for each email must identify the DCAA program, month, and year for each report (e.g., LIHEAP-20-01 January).
- The subgrantee must maintain an original signed copy of the report submitted in accordance with DCAA contract requirements. Original copies must be available for review at the request of the DCAA.
- Reports must be emailed to dcaa@hhs.iowa.gov.
- Subgrantees will receive an automated response from dcaa@hhs.iowa.gov acknowledging the receipt of the email.
Agencies may submit reports electronically or by regular mail. Agencies are not allowed to use one method of submission for some DCAA programs and another method for other DCAA programs, or to use one method one month and another method for a different month. DCAA has been advised by the Department of Administrative Services that agencies must submit invoices to the State in accordance with the agency's "normal business practice", which can be by either method, but not both. If your agency establishes email submission as your normal business practice for submission, all DCAA reports would need to be submitted in that manner. Reports not submitted according to the agency's normal business practice will not be accepted.
