D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 22, r. 22-B3601
The Mayor shall make available three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) from the Escheated Property Fund for the purpose of the Community Residence Facility Loan Program.
Eligibility for loans shall be restricted to new applicants and licensed facilities as specified in this section.
New applicants may apply for loans to assist them in complying with the life-safety code requirements of D.C. Law 2-35.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Subsequent to the adoption of this chapter, D.C. Law 2-35 was superseded by the Health-Care and Community Residence Facility, Hospice and Home Care Licensure Act of 1983, D.C. Code, 2001 Ed. §§ 44 -501 to 44-509.
For purposes of this chapter, "new applicants" are those facilities which have expressed an intent to operate a Community Residence Facility by completing an application with the Department of Human Services, but which have not been approved as in compliance with the life-safety code requirements as determined by the CRF Life-Safety Inspection Coordinator.
Licensed Community Residence Facilities may apply for loans to increase their capacity. As the concept of Community Residence Facilities couples the safety and standardized quality of a licensed health care facility with the personalized environment of a private home, the CRF loan program shall restrict all loan applications by licensed facilities wishing to increase their capacity to facilities proposing to house eight (8) or fewer clients.
Licensed facilities housing fewer than fifty (50) clients may also apply for emergency repair loans to assist them in meeting catastrophic repair costs. These loans shall be limited to situations where the operator can show that the work required is necessary to protect the health and safety of the clients and is otherwise statutorily required.
