§11376 — Title 42 The Public Health and Welfare | U.S. Code

Summary

By 60 days after July 22, 1987, the Secretary must publish rules needed to run this program. Those rules must follow section 553 of title 5, and final rules based on that first notice must be issued within 12 months after July 22, 1987. Until the final rules are ready, the emergency shelter rules from section 101(g) of Public Law 99–500 or Public Law 99–591 will keep applying. When a law provides money to run the program, the Secretary must tell each State, metropolitan city, and urban county its direct grant amount within 60 days, and those places may use the funds even if the rules are not yet finished. The Secretary must also set minimum habitability standards so shelters offer privacy, safety, cleanliness, and basic health protections. Grant recipients may require higher standards if they choose.

(a)Not later than 60 days after July 22, 1987, the Secretary shall by notice establish such requirements as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this part. Such requirements shall be subject to section 553 of title 5. The Secretary shall issue requirements based on the initial notice before the expiration of the 12-month period following July 22, 1987.

(b)Not later than the expiration of the 60-day period following the date of enactment of a law providing appropriations to carry out this part, the Secretary shall notify each State, metropolitan city, and urban county that is to receive a direct grant of its allocation of assistance under this part. Such assistance shall be allocated and may be used notwithstanding any failure of the Secretary to issue requirements under subsection (a).

(c)The Secretary shall prescribe such minimum standards of habitability as the Secretary determines to be appropriate to ensure that emergency shelters assisted under this section are environments that provide appropriate privacy, safety, and sanitary and other health-related conditions for homeless persons and families. Grantees are authorized to establish standards of habitability in addition to those prescribed by the Secretary.
