Home repairs — Run-down premises

The Mayor may authorize an expenditure for repairs to a home which a recipient of TANF, POWER, or GAC owns or is buying, when there has been no assignment or transfer to the District of such property, if: (1) A determination has been made that: (A) The home is so defective that continued occupancy is not warranted; (B) Unless repairs are made the recipient would have to move to rental quarters; and (C) The rental cost of quarters for the recipient and his family over a period of 2 years would exceed the cost of repairs needed to make the home habitable together with other costs attributable to continued occupancy of the home; and (2) There has been no expenditure for repairs prior to the determination described in paragraph (1) of this section.
