will receive.
(c) The individual who has been notified of the eligibility
decision regarding TLC funds may request a hearing to appeal the denial of

benefit of $2,500 and if the request is made within 90 days of the date of
notification of the eligibility decision.

housing for which TLC rental assistance is not required, or receive subsidized
