§ 1758. Use of funds for 1985 and thereafter
Currentness
(a) Eligible activities.--The funds which are allocated to eligible entitlement entities by the department in accordance with this act shall be used only for eligible activities which are permitted in accordance with the Housing and Community Development Act.
(b) Use.--Those funds which are allocated to counties pursuant to sections 5 and 6(a)1 must be used by the county to benefit boroughs and townships, which are not entitlement entities pursuant to this act nor considered a metropolitan city.
(c) Countywide projects.--If a countywide or an areawide project benefits an eligible entitlement entity or metropolitan city, the proportional cost of the project benefiting the eligible entitlement entity or metropolitan city shall be met by funds not allocated to the county under sections 5 and 6.
(d) Authority.--
(1) Funds allocated to an eligible entitlement borough, incorporated town or township, and which are added on to the county's annual grant pursuant to section 6(b), shall be spent, less the county's proportionate share of environmental, administrative, monitoring and audit costs, solely for eligible projects specifically designated by resolution by the eligible borough, incorporated town or township.
(2) Further, if an eligible borough, incorporated town or township wishes to undertake an eligible project at a cost which exceeds the amount of the annual allocation grant, or if the department determines that the scope of the proposed project exceeds the amount of the annual allocation grant, the eligible borough, incorporated town or township may temporarily waive, in whole or in part, its annual allocation in order to aggregate a larger amount by combining the amount of the temporarily waived grant with a grant anticipated for receipt in the second and/or third year of any three-year cycle. Temporary waiver of an annual allocation grant shall be accomplished by resolution by the eligible borough, incorporated town or township.
(3) In the event of a temporary waiver the amount of the waived grant shall be considered a county grant for said year or years and expended by the county in accordance with subsections (b) and (c).
(4) The county in the subsequent year or years shall first use the funds allocated to it for nonentitlement entities to reimburse the temporarily waived grant or grants of the eligible borough, incorporated town or township to be used for the purposes designated by said eligible entity.
(5) If the total amount of the temporarily waived grants in any year is adequate to fund any of the anticipated projects, then the county shall immediately fund those projects for which sufficient funding is available. Any eligible borough, incorporated town or township which receives a grant pursuant to this paragraph shall forego future funding, in whole or in part, until the amount of the advanced grant, in excess of the community's entitlement, is returned to the county.
