Program administration (Repealed)

(a) Any privately or publicly supported entity which operates an emergency shelter or other emergency housing facility for individuals and/or families may apply to the Commissioner of Housing for certification as an eligible provider under the Security Deposit Revolving Loan Fund program. The Department of Housing, the Department of Human Resources or the Department of Income Maintenance may serve as the eligible provider for persons who reside in emergency housing other than emergency shelters operated by a privately or publicly supported entity. (b) Privately and publicly supported entities which operate an emergency shelter who wish to apply for certification as an eligible provider shall submit to the Commissioner of Housing an application issued by the Department which shall include the name, address and length of time the emergency shelter has been in operation. In its evaluation of each application, the Department shall examine the amount and sources of funding received by the shelter, the level and qualifications of staffing of the shelter, the shelter's continuity of operation, and such other information which the Commissioner may deem necessary. (c) Each privately or publicly supported entity which operates an emergency shelter and is approved by the Commissioner to serve as an eligible provider under the Security Deposit Revolving Loan Fund program and each state agency which has agreed to serve as a provider shall designate one or more staff members to assist eligible persons in completing an application for a security deposit loan and a promissory note and forward them to the Department.
