Added by Stats. 2022, Ch. 644, Sec. 1. (AB 1978) Effective January 1, 2023.

The department may do any of the following in administering federally funded grant programs administered by the department, including, but not limited to, the Federal Housing Trust Fund (Chapter 6.8 (commencing with Section 50676)), Community Development Block Grant Program Funds (Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 50825)), the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (Chapter 16 (commencing with Section 50896)), or the California Emergency Solutions Grants Program (Chapter 19 (commencing with Section 50899.1)) established under this part unless specifically prohibited by other applicable law:

(a)Publish a notice of funding availability and application deadlines ahead of, and contingent upon, the availability of funding.
(b)Issue funding to an award recipient up-front rather than as a reimbursement, provided that the department determines the awardee meets federal standards for program financial administration and provides ongoing support and monitoring of the funding.
(c)Provide technical assistance to applicants that meet program submission deadlines to correct technical errors or provide missing information, so that applications are not ultimately rejected because of a minor error or

oversight, provided that the published method of distribution for that program or funding source allows for postsubmittal modifications. This subdivision does not require a program that uses a competitive method of distribution to allow postsubmittal modifications.
