Subrecipients must be told and the public asked before a request goes in

What the document says
“``(i) notify all subrecipients and local Continuums of Care that serve the recipient's geographic area of the availability of waivers under this subsection; and ``(ii) prior to the submission of a waiver request under subparagraph (A), solicit public input regarding the potential need for and proposed uses of such waiver.”
The new subsection requires each recipient to tell all subrecipients and local Continuums of Care serving its area that waivers are available, and to seek public input on the need for and proposed uses of a waiver before submitting a request.
What the document actually says
“``(i) notify all subrecipients and local Continuums of Care that serve the recipient's geographic area of the availability of waivers under this subsection; and ``(ii) prior to the submission of a waiver request under subparagraph (A), solicit public input regarding the potential need for and proposed uses of such waiver.”
That sentence, in plain words
The place must tell the groups it works with that waivers exist. It must also ask the public before it files. The question is whether a waiver is needed and how the money would be used.
What this is about
A Continuum of Care is a local group planning services for people without homes. A subrecipient is a group that gets part of the money. Both must be told first.

not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
