The Secretary must certify a grantee's financial controls before a grant
What the document says“Before making a grant under this section, the Secretary shall certify that the grantee has in place proficient processes and procedures to comply with the requirements developed under paragraph (1), as determined by the Secretary.”
The new section 124 requires the Secretary to develop requirements showing that a grantee has adequate financial controls and procurement processes, adequate procedures to detect and prevent fraud, waste, abuse, and duplication of benefit, and a comprehensive publicly accessible website, and to certify before making a grant that the grantee can meet them. A State, local government, or Indian tribe may show compliance before a disaster occurs.
What the document actually says“Before making a grant under this section, the Secretary shall certify that the grantee has in place proficient processes and procedures to comply with the requirements developed under paragraph (1), as determined by the Secretary.”
The housing agency must certify a place before it gets a grant. It must find that the place can meet the rules it has set.
Those rules cover money controls and buying. They also cover guarding against fraud. A place must keep a public website too.
