Section 8-381-6 - Priority for financial assistance

(a) The Commissioner shall grant a high priority to applications received from eligible developers for financial assistance under programs authorized by Chapters 128, 130, 133 or 138 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Such high priority will take into consideration the present level of authorized funding for a program and the number of proposals already under consideration by the Commissioner.

(b) The Commissioner may, at his discretion, waive the limitations on the amount of state financial assistance provided pursuant to Section 8-169k of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, for housing and community development projects undertaken in a housing development zone. A decision to approve such waiver will take into consideration the project's part in the plan for the development and rehabilitation of housing within the zone, as filed annually by the municipality pursuant to Section 5 (c) above.

(c) To receive priority status or a waiver, the applicant, if a municipality, must certify that their proposal is for a project within the designated zone. If the applicant is other than the municipality, the applicant must submit a municipal certification that the proposed project is within the designated zone.
