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.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
