Iowa Admin. Code r. 265-42.7 - Application review process
The following procedures will be used in the review of applications.
(1) Review; threshold
criteria; eligible activities.
a.
Review of applications. Applications will be reviewed based on
priorities established during each competition round, in accordance with the
state of Iowa consolidated plan for housing and community development. IFA may
utilize a panel to review the applications. Review criteria include, but are
not limited to, program design, applicant experience and capacity, community
partnerships and need, performance, budget and grant management, program
accessibility, program partnerships, the number of persons or households
served, and how well the program leverages other resources.
b.
Threshold criteria. IFA
will identify threshold criteria that all programs must meet in order to be
eligible.
c.
Activities
eligible during funding cycle. Each competition round will also
specify which of the total eligible program activities will be supported during
that competition round.
(2) If an application contains an activity
determined to be ineligible, at IFA 's discretion, the ineligible activity may
be deleted from the application or referred to another funding source or the
application may be disqualified.
(3) IFA reserves the right to negotiate
directly with the applicant to determine the priority of funding requested
within the application.
(4) IFA
staff may review applications with other state agencies or other groups with
expertise in the area of serving homeless persons before making final funding
recommendations. Consultation with other agencies is intended to avoid
duplication and promote maximum utilization of funding sources.
(5) Based on the review process, IFA may
revise the overall funding request by activity or funding level and recommend a
final funding figure to the IFA board of directors for approval.
