The Community Health Services Act of 1976 [Laws 1976 c9] provided block grants from the state to local governments to develop and maintain an integrated system of community health services under local administration with a system of state guidelines and standards. Application could be made by jurisdictions with an aggregate population of 30,000 or more persons in a county or multi-county area (population size was waived if three or more counties combined) or municipalities located in a county with a population of 300,000 or more or any city located in three counties. Each applicant had to have a board/department of health which was responsible for following the act's standards and a local community health services advisory committee.
