DHCD or its designee shall reject applications which are initially determined to be incomplete or ineligible and may, in its sole discretion, grant additional time as it deems appropriate to enable applicants to correct deficiencies identified during the initial evaluation of the application.
Applications determined to be complete and meeting intake requirements shall be reviewed by DHCD, or its designee, in accordance with the criteria established pursuant to this chapter.
The DHCD or its designee shall approve or reject applications based on written underwriting criteria, evaluation procedures, priorities, and other criteria and procedures, consistent with the Act, this chapter and funding availability.
