511.70—Responsibility for grant administration.

Grantees are responsible for ensuring that rental rehabilitation grants are administered in accordance with the requirements of this part and other applicable laws. A grantee may enter into a written agreement with another unit of State or local government or with a non-governmental entity to administer specified functions under its Rental Rehabilitation Program to the extent not prohibited by HUD. If the grantee is contracting with a non-governmental entity to administer its program or to provide other services, such as cash management responsibilities, the grantee shall follow the procurement standards of 24 CFR 85.36. The use of other governmental units or private contractors does not relieve the grantee of its responsibility for ensuring compliance with this part and other applicable laws.
