After an application nas been Tiled with one of the Department's
Regional Offices, HUD will review the application and make a decision
on wnether it can be funded, in terms of priorities and competing
applications. A Yunding analysis process is used to evaluate
systematically all applications received. Projects approved ror
funding then undergo detailed reviews for compliance with all
sechnical program requirements. If a project cannot be approved
funding, HUD will notify the community as soon as possible.
; When @ grant is approved, the Department's Regional Office
promptly advises the community, after which a formal Federal contract
is issued. The contract spells out the requirements with which the
grantee must comply in order subsequently to receive the authorized .
grant. Usually the grantee must spend the money within 12 months;
exceptions are made for cases involving court actions.
Federal grant will be paid as a reinbursement afte

adopting suggested national standards or py developing their own.
The standards should help define priorities and set goals to assure an
equality of diverse open space opportunity Tor all citizens.
Open Space planning and programs should ‘provide for sites, .
