Section 330:55-7-5 - Review and appeals process

(a) Applicants for HOME Program funding awards may review their applications and OHFA's application review documents any time after OHFA Staff has publicly released its funding recommendations . Written notice must be given to OHFA, and OHFA will have at least three (3) working days to grant any such requests for review. Written notice may be in electronic form.

(b) OHFA's Board of Trustees makes the final decisions regarding awards of HOME Program funds. Therefore, appeals of the funding recommendations of OHFA Staff must be made at the Board of Trustees meeting at which the applications are considered. Appeals cannot introduce new documentation that was not included with the original application for funds.

(c) The OHFA Board of Trustees will consider the Application, OHFA Staff's recommendations, the presentation of the Applicant, these HOME Program Rules (OAC 330:55), the Consolidated Plan, the HOME Program Description for the applicable Program Year, and the application process for the applicable Program Year for HOME funds. The procedures set forth in OAC 330:1 and Article II of the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act, 75 O.S., Sections 309, et seq. (the "OAPA") will be followed. The meeting will be considered an individual proceeding under the OAPA and the decision of the OHFA Board of Trustees will constitute a Final Order. No further appeals will be considered.

(d) The public may appear at any OHFA Board of Trustees meeting to speak on behalf of or in opposition to an award of HOME funds. Presentations by members of the public are subject to the limitations of time and scope imposed by the OHFA Board of Trustees pursuant to the procedures set forth in paragraph (c) above.
