Current through Rules and Regulations filed through March 20, 2024
(1) Within approximately 30 days of the close of a competition, the Department will select recipients based upon the applicable review criteria outlined at 110-10-1-.05.
(2) Individual project/proposal funding limits will be established by the Commissioner of Community Affairs and identified in the competition announcement. A cash match of no less than 25% of total project costs is required. Funding limits may be waived upon the sole discretion of the Commissioner of Community Affairs.
(3) Once a project/proposal is selected for funding, funds will be made available by the Department through a contract. Successful applicants will be required to furnish the Department an electronic version of their proposals. The Department will convert relevant portions of these proposals into a "Scope of Services" for inclusion in a contract. As a part of the contract, recipients must file reports on the progress toward completing the project, the impact and performance of the project, and other information that may be required by the Department in a format prescribed by the Department.
(4) The Department may approve a contract subject to certain general or special conditions incorporated into the contract. Due to the limited amount of funds available, the Department may also award an amount less than the amount requested in the application. Applicants will have up to thirty (30) days from the date of the contract offer to accept any general or special conditions and/or the reduced contract amount. If the applicant fails to accept the above general or special conditions or lower grant amount within the required period, the contract offer may be withdrawn by the Department.
(5) The Department will provide recipients with specific instructions and forms to be used by progress reporting and drawdown of funds under the contract.
