Statute text

(a)The department shall issue a notice or notices of funding availability to potential applicants and designated local boards, as applicable, as soon as possible after funding becomes available for the Emergency Housing and Assistance Program. Each notice of funding availability shall indicate the amounts and types of funds available under this program.

(b)A designated local board, or the department in the absence of a designated local board, shall solicit, receive, and select among applications for grants pursuant to this chapter from eligible organizations through an open, fair, and competitive process. These applications shall be ranked and selected by a designated local board, or by the department in the absence of a designated local board.

(c)Notwithstanding subdivision (b), the department may restrict a designated local board from selecting any application requesting a grant for capital developments if the amount requested by the application exceeds the limits determined by the department, and the department determines that the designated local board is not qualified to evaluate the application. The department shall establish criteria for distinguishing between a designated local board that may be so restricted and a designated local board that would not be so restricted. A designated local board may appeal to the director, or to the director’s designee, any decision made by the department pursuant to this subdivision. The department, by June 30, 2001, shall consider increasing the maximum grant limits to three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) for operating grants and five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) for capital grants.
