| (a) General Threshold. All Applicants and Applications
to administer a HOME Program award from the Department must submit
or comply with the following:
(1) An Applicant certification of compliance with state
rules promulgated by the Department, and federal laws, rules and guidance
governing the HOME Program as provided in the Application.
(2) A Resolution from the Applicant's direct governing
body which includes:
(A) Authorization of the submission of the Application
specifying the NOFA under which funds are requested for Contract award
Applications;
(B) Commitment and amount of cash reserves, if applicable,
for use during the Contract or RSP Agreement term;
(C) Source of funds for Match obligation and Match
amount to be contributed as a percentage of Direct Activity Costs,
if applicable;
(D) Title of the person authorized to represent the
organization and who also has signature authority to execute a Contract
and grant agreement or loan documents, as applicable, unless otherwise
stated; and
(E) Date that the resolution was passed by the governing
body, which must be within six months preceding Application submission
for Reservation System Participation Agreement Applications, and no
earlier than the date of the Department's Governing Board approval
of the NOFA for Contract award Applications.
(3) An Applicant must be registered in the System for
Award Management (SAM) and have a current Unique Entity Identification
(UEID) number.
(4) An Application must be substantially complete when
received by the Department. An Application will be terminated if an
entire tab of the Application is missing; has excessive omissions
of documentation from the threshold or selection criteria or uniform
Application documentation; or is so unclear, disjointed, or incomplete
that a thorough review cannot reasonably be performed by the Department,
as determined by the Department. Such Application will be terminated
without being processed as an administrative deficiency. To the extent
that a review was able to be performed, specific reasons for the Department's
termination will be included in the notification sent to the Applicant
but, because of the suspended review, may not include an all inclusive
list of deficiencies in the Application.
