Sec.  115.304  Agencies eligible for contributions funds.



    (a) An agency that has received CB funds for three consecutive years 

is eligible for contributions funding. Contributions funding consists of 

three categories:

    (1) Complaint Processing (CP) funds;

    (2) Administrative Costs (AC) funds; and

    (3) Special Enforcement Efforts (SEE) funds (Sec.  115.305 sets 

forth the requirements for SEE funding).

    (b) CP funds. (1) Agencies receiving CP funds will receive such 

support based solely on the number of complaints processed by the agency 

and accepted for payment by the Director of FHEO during a consecutive, 

specifically identified, 12-month period. Normally this period will be 

the previous year's funding cycle.

    (2) Funding for agencies in their fourth year of participation in 

the FHAP will be based on the number of complaints acceptably processed 

by the

agency during the agency's third year of participation in the FHAP.

    (c) Administrative Cost (AC) funds. (1) Agencies which acceptably 

process 100 or more cases will receive no less than 10 percent of the 

agency's annual FHAP payment amount for the preceding year, in addition 

to case processing funds, contingent on fiscal year appropriations. 

Agencies that acceptably process fewer than 100 cases will receive a 

flat rate contingent on fiscal year appropriations.

    (2) Agencies will be required to provide HUD with a statement of how 

they intend to use the AC funds. HUD may require that some or all AC 

funding be directed to activities designed to create, modify, or improve 

local, regional, or national information systems concerning fair housing 

matters (including the purchase of state of the art computer systems and 

getting on line or internet access, etc.).
