				  Continuum of Care Allocation shall be administered by an approved
				  Administrative Entity in the Service Area in which it is located pursuant to
				  the requirements of this subdivision.
(1)
				  Notwithstanding the location requirement in subdivision (a) above, an approved
				  Administrative Entity shall also be eligible to administer funds for
				  geographically contiguous Continuums of Care that are eligible to receive funds
				  under the Balance of State Allocation and that agree to administration of their
				  allocation by the Administrative Entity. One hundred percent of both
				  allocations shall be used for Rapid Rehousing activities pursuant to the
				  requirements of sections 8408 and 8409.
(2) In the absence of an approved
				  Administrative Entity for a Service Area otherwise eligible under the Continuum
				  of Care Allocation, a Continuum of Care may recommend a provider to apply for
				  Rapid Rehousing activities
(A) In making this
				  recommendation, the Continuum of Care shall use a process which is
1. Fair and open and avoids conflicts of
				  interest in project selection, implementation, and the administration of
				  funds;
2. Considers selection
				  criteria reasonably consistent with the criteria used by the Department in
				  section 8407;
3. Complies with the
				  requirements of sections 8408 and 8409;
4. Incorporates reasonable performance
				  standards as set forth in the Action Plan based on HUD requirements and
				  guidance. If the applicant has not implemented the proposed activity or similar
				  activity within the past three years, the Continuum of Care shall work with the
				  funded applicant to ensure it meets reasonable performance standards specified
				  in the Action Plan in the contract year.
5. Complies with federal ESG
				  requirements
6. Considers any other
				  practices promoted or required by HUD.
(B) If recommending a Private nonprofit
				  organization for these funds, the nonprofit organization must submit a
				  Certification of Local Government Approval to undertake ESG-funded activities
				  from each Unit of Local Government where the activity is carried out pursuant
				  to section 414 [42 U.S.C. section 11373(c)];
(C) Documentation of matching contributions
				  must be maintained pursuant to the requirements of 24 CFR 576.201.
(D) The Department may request information
				  from the Continuum of Care or Subrecipient which demonstrates compliance with
				  the above requirements, and the Continuum of Care or Subrecipient shall provide
				  such information.
(E) The provider
				  shall enter into a Standard Agreement with the Department for Rapid Re-housing
				  funds awarded pursuant to Subdivision (a) (2) above;
(F) The Action Plan will propose minimum and
				  maximum percentages of a Service Area allocation that shall be designated for a
				  Rapid Rehousing application.
