Applications for security deposit guarantees or security deposits may be made either to the department at one of its regional offices or to any entity under contract with the department to operate an emergency shelter or other emergency housing facility for individuals or families. An applicant shall have sixty (60) days to complete an application once she or he initiates the application process by filing any part of the application with the department or with any entity under contract with the department to operate an emergency shelter or other emergency housing facility for individuals or families. An applicant may request one or more sixty (60) day extensions to the time limit for completing an application. Such extensions may be granted in writing by department staff or by the staff of any entity under contract with the department to operate an emergency shelter or other emergency housing facility for individuals or families when the applicant has demonstrated a reasonable effort to locate a rental unit.
