Sec. 954.105  Criteria for selection.

    There are four categories of projects that may be funded under the 
HOME Indian program: housing rehabilitation; acquisition of housing; new 
housing construction; and tenant-based rental assistance. Each project 
must be evaluated using the following three criteria:
    (a) Project need and design. The degree to which the proposed 
project addresses the housing need(s) of the grantee as identified in 
the application, and the degree to which the proposed project is 
feasible while maximizing benefits to low-income families.
    (b) Planning and implementation. The degree to which the financial, 
administrative, and legal actions necessary to undertake the proposed 
project have been considered and addressed in the application, and the 
degree to which the grantee has the administrative staff to carry out 
the project successfully.
    (c) Leveraging. The degree to which other sources of assistance, 
including mortgage insurance, State funds, other Federal grants, and 
private contributions, are used in conjunction with HOME funds to carry 
out the proposed project.
