Sec. 3a. Application for grants from funds appropriated by the 66th
or any succeeding General Assembly shall be made not later than June
30th of the year following the year in which such appropriation was
enacted. Each such application shall be reviewed by the Department of
Commerce and Economic Opportunity as provided
in Section 3 and if approved shall
entitle the applicant to a grant upon the basis of the population
formula prescribed in Section 2. No application shall be approved unless
the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity is satisfied that the amount
approved will be properly employed by the applicant in carrying out the
plan accompanying the application.
If any housing authority or land clearance commission has failed to
make application for a grant of funds appropriated by the 66th or any
succeeding General Assembly prior to July 1st of the year following the
year in which the appropriation was enacted, such portion of the
appropriation as remains unallocated shall be available for distribution
by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to housing authorities and
land clearance commissions which make application and establish a need
therefor in relation to a specific project or projects approved by the
Department. The determination of the relative needs of applicants shall
be made by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity; provided, that in
no event shall the sum of any initial and supplemental grants to any
applicant exceed 50% of the total appropriation made available for
distribution to all applicants in the State.
