Regulation 24 CFR §570.201(k) or 42 USC 5305 (a)(20) -
Housing services, except Housing Counseling, under 24 CFR
5.100, in support of the HOME program.
The TBRA program is funded through HOME, but since the City obtains its funding through the County of Santa Barbara's HOME Consortium, the City cannot use any of that funding to cover the administration of the grant.
