| (a) The rules established in this Chapter relate to
Homeless Programs, for which the General Provisions provided in this
subchapter apply to all of the Homeless Programs, unless otherwise
noted. Additional program specific requirements are contained within
each program subchapter.
(b) The Homeless Programs administered by the Texas
Department of Housing and Community Affairs (the "Department") support
the Department's statutorily assigned mission to address homelessness
among Texans.
(c) The Department accomplishes this mission by acting
as a conduit for state and federal funds directed for homelessness
programs. Ensuring program compliance with the state and federal laws
that govern these programs is another important part of the Department's
mission. Oversight and program mandates ensure state and federal resources
are expended in an efficient and effective manner.
(d) Unless otherwise noted herein or required by federal
law or regulation, or state statute, all provisions of this chapter
apply to any Application received for federal funds and any Contract
of state funds on or after the effective date of this rule.
