Sec. 3a. Application for grants from funds appropriated by the 66th or any succeeding General Assembly shall be made not later than June 30th of the year following the year in which such appropriation was enacted. Each such application shall be reviewed by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity as provided in Section 3 and if approved shall entitle the applicant to a grant upon the basis of the population formula prescribed in Section 2. No application shall be approved unless the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity is satisfied that the amount approved will be properly employed by the applicant in carrying out the plan accompanying the application.
If any housing authority or land clearance commission has failed to make application for a grant of funds appropriated by the 66th or any succeeding General Assembly prior to July 1st of the year following the year in which the appropriation was enacted, such portion of the appropriation as remains unallocated shall be available for distribution by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to housing authorities and land clearance commissions which make application and establish a need therefor in relation to a specific project or projects approved by the Department.
The determination of the relative needs of applicants shall be made by the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity; provided, that in no event shall the sum of any initial and supplemental grants to any applicant exceed 50% of the total appropriation made available for distribution to all applicants in the State.
