(2) Recipients in receipt of a court ordered
			 shelter supplement, or a temporary shelter supplement pursuant to section
			 370.10  of
			 this Title, at the time this paragraph is adopted and, who are otherwise
			 eligible for public assistance will continue to receive that supplement, if
			 higher than the shelter allowance set forth in paragraph (1) of this
			 subdivision, for up to a two year period, provided that there is no break in
			 assistance of more than one calendar month or that the family has not been
			 sanctioned. After a two year period from the date this paragraph is adopted or
			 upon a break in receipt of a court ordered supplement or a supplement under
			 section
			 370.10  of
			 this Title of more than one calendar month, applicants and recipients who were
			 receiving a court ordered shelter supplement or a temporary shelter supplement
			 pursuant to section
			 370.10  of
			 this Title, must receive a shelter allowance pursuant to paragraph (1) of this
			 subdivision, if otherwise eligible. The amount of the shelter supplement in
			 excess of the shelter allowance maxima set forth in paragraph (1) of this
			 subdivision is not part of the standard of need.
(3)
(i) A
			 social services district, with the approval of the Office of Temporary and
			 Disability Assistance, may provide additional monthly shelter supplements to
			 public assistance applicants and recipients who will reside in private housing,
			 or who currently reside in private housing and are facing eviction. Social
			 services districts choosing to provide such supplements must submit a plan to
			 the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, attention: Center for
			 Employment and Economic Supports, prior to providing any such supplements.
			 Plans submitted to the office must include: justification for providing the
			 supplement(s), the targeted population, the amount of the supplement(s) and any
			 additional information as required by the office. The supplement(s) must be a
			 monthly amount that, when combined with the shelter allowance, does not exceed
			 the rental obligation or home ownership shelter expenses of the applicant or
			 recipient. The amount of the shelter supplement is not part of the standard of
			 need.
(ii) The office may authorize
			 a social services district to provide such supplement or a distinct part of
			 such supplement if it determines that the provision of such supplement would
			 accomplish its stated purpose and is justified considering such factors as
			 length of temporary housing stays, existing litigation and other factors
			 affecting the availability of housing. The office must also consider the impact
			 of granting the supplement on the economic incentives for self-sufficiency and
			 the impact on low-income households which are not in receipt of public
			 assistance. The office may authorize the supplement only if it determines that
			 there are sufficient funds available to provide such reimbursement.
