Connecticut General Statutes Title 8. Zoning, Planning, Housing and Economic and Community Development § 8-219d. Financial assistance to nonprofit corporations for administrative expenses and technical assistance. Regulations

(a) The state, acting by and in the discretion of the Commissioner of Housing, may enter into a contract to provide financial assistance in the form of grants-in-aid, loans or deferred loans to nonprofit corporations, as defined in section 8-39, to assist such corporations with the costs of administrative expenses and technical assistance associated with the development of housing for low and moderate income families and the elderly. In the case of a deferred loan, the contract shall require that payments on interest are due immediately but that payments on principal may be made at a later time.

(b) Any such grant-in-aid, loan or deferred loan shall be made only to a nonprofit corporation which has resources for the costs listed under subsection (a) of this section available from other sources in an amount equal to or greater than one hundred per cent of the proposed grants, unless a nonprofit corporation has been incorporated for less than two years, in which case the Commissioner of Housing may waive the requirements contained in this subsection.

(c) In determining the amount of a grant-in-aid, loan or deferred loan under this section, the Commissioner of Housing shall consider the number of dwelling units for low and moderate income and elderly persons which are being developed or rehabilitated in the project or projects for which financial assistance is being requested, provided no such grant-in-aid, loan or deferred loan shall be for an amount greater than one hundred thousand dollars.

(d) The Commissioner of Housing shall adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54,  1 to carry out the purposes of this section. Such regulations shall include provisions to establish eligibility requirements for nonprofit corporations to receive financial assistance provided under this section, criteria which the commissioner shall use for awarding such financial assistance, the purposes for which such financial assistance may be used and the terms and conditions which the commissioner shall establish for nonprofit corporations which receive such assistance. Such regulations shall also include provisions requiring periodic reports to be submitted by such nonprofit corporations to the commissioner and requiring that a performance audit of such nonprofit corporations be conducted by an independent accounting or management consulting firm on an annual basis.
