The provisions of Chapters 36 shall implement the provisions of the District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency Act, effective March 3, 1979, as amended (D.C. Law 2-135, D.C. Official Code §§ 42-2701et seq.) (the "Act").
Procedures, instructions, guidelines, and appropriate forms for the solicitation, receipt, processing, and evaluation of applications for Agency financing and other assistance and the taking of other actions that may be necessary or desirable for the implementation and administration of all aspects of the Agency's programs may be established and modified from time to time by the Executive Director (or in the absence of the Executive Director, a designee(s) of the Board), with the approval or ratification of the Agency Board.
Agency procedures, instructions, guidelines, and forms shall be consistent with the requirements of the Act and this chapter.
The Agency staff may provide technical assistance to applicants seeking to complete applications.
The Board, by resolution, may waive or vary particular provisions of Chapter 36 to the extent not inconsistent with the Act for the following reasons:
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part of Chapter 36 is adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, that judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this chapter, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, section, or part directly involved in the controversy in which the judgment has been rendered.
