Grantees are responsible for ensuring that emergency shelter grant amounts are administered in accordance with the requirements of this part and other applicable laws. The State, territory, Indian tribe, or unit of local government is responsible for ensuring that its recipients carry out the recipients' emergency shelter grant programs in compliance with all applicable requirements in the case of: (a) A State making grant amounts available to State recipients; or (b) A territory, Indian tribe, or unit of general local government distributing grant amounts to nonprofit recipients. [54 FR 46799, Nov. 7, 1989. Redesignated and amended at 61 FR 51553, Oct. 2, 1996] Payments are made to a grantee upon its request after the grant agreement has been fully executed, and may include a working capital advance for 30 days' cash needs or an advance of $5,000, whichever is greater. Thereafter, the grantee will be reimbursed for the amount of its actual cash disbursements. If a grantee requests a working capital advance, it must base the request on a realistic, firm estimate of the amounts required to be disbursed over the 30-day period in payment of eligible activity costs. [54 FR 46799, Nov. 7, 1989. Redesignated and amended at 61 FR 51553, Oct. 2, 1996] (a) Each grantee must ensure that records are maintained for a 4-year period to document compliance with the provisions of this part. (b) Requirements to ensure confidentiality of records pertaining to the provision of family violence prevention or treatment services with assistance under this part are set forth in 42 U.S.C. 11375(c)(5). [61 FR 51553, Oct. 2, 1996] (a) HUD sanctions. If HUD determines that a grantee is not complying with the requirements of this part or of other applicable Federal law, HUD may (in addition to any remedies that may otherwise be available) take any of the following sanctions, as appropriate: (1) Issue a warning letter that further failure to comply with such requirements will result in a more serious sanction; (2) Condition a future grant; (3) Direct the grantee to stop the incurring of costs with grant amounts; (4) Require that some or all of the grant amounts be remitted to HUD; (5) Reduce the level of funds the grantee would otherwise be entitled to receive; or (6) Elect not to provide future grant funds to the grantee until appropriate actions are taken to ensure compliance. (b) State sanctions. If a State determines that a State recipient is not complying with the requirements of this part or other applicable Federal laws, the State must take appropriate actions, which may include the actions described in paragraph (a) of this section. Any grant amounts that become available to a State as a result of a sanction under this section must, at the option of the State, be made available (as soon as practicable) to other nonprofit organizations or units of general local government located in the State for use within the time periods specified in §576.35(a)(2), or to HUD for reallocation under §576.45(d). (c) Reallocations. Any grant amounts that become available to HUD as a result of the imposition of a sanction under this section will be reallocated under §576.45(d). [54 FR 46799, Nov. 7, 1989.
