954.108—Project amendment.

(a) Grantees shall request prior HUD approval for all project amendments.

(b) HUD can approve an amendment to a project if:

(1) The amendment is due to factors beyond the control of the grantee; and

(2) The request for approval for a project amendment which involves $100,000 or more includes all application components required by the NOFA published for the last application cycle (not necessarily the year in which the project was rated and ranked) and the modified project scores high enough to have been funded in the competition for the last application cycle. A rating equal to or greater than the lowest rating received by a funded project during the last rating cycle must be attained by the modified project. The request for approval of an amendment for a project which involves less than $100,000 does not have to include the components which address the selection criteria. It does require a description of and the reason for the modification.

(1) Demonstration by the grantee of the capacity to promptly complete the modified or new project.

(2) The preparation of an amended or new environmental review in accordance with Part 58 of this title, if there is a significant change in the scope or location of approved project.

(d) If a project amendment fails to be approved and the original project is no longer feasible, the grant funds proposed for amendment shall be deobligated by HUD and recaptured.
