Purpose
Section 420.36, Florida Statutes, establishes within the Department the Low-Income Emergency Home Repair Program for the purposes of assisting low-income persons, especially the disabled and elderly, in making emergency home repairs. Chapter 73C-25, Fla. Admin. Code, implements this program by setting out the procedures for eligibility, funding, allowable expenditures, work standards, monitoring, and creation of a contractual grant agreement.
Rules 73C-25.004 and .005, which address funding eligibility and funding distribution, are being incorporated into Rule 73C-25.006, which implements procedures for selection and distribution of funding to selected grantees. Rules 73C-25.004 and .005 will be repealed. The purpose of this change is to include information about funding in the same rule.
Rule 73C-25.014 is being amended to delete subsections (2) and (3), which set forth information that is not necessary to implement Section 420.36, Florida Statutes.
