IHCDA’s Community Programs Manager and Executive Director will review the funding request. If funds are available, the following process will take place: • IHCDA will create grant amendments for adding additional funding. Anytime IHCDA issues additional funds to an LSP an amendment must be completed. • The LSP’s Executive Director will sign the amendment and return it to IHCDA. • The LSP must return an updated budget. • Funds will be available to the LSP when IHCDA receives and executes the signed amendment. The Community Programs Manager reserves the right to use discretion in only partially approving the request based on availability of funds or overall needs of the network. IHCDA will also create amendments reducing funds in the case of LSPs that do not meet benchmarks. Energy Emergency Intervention If an energy emergency is declared during the funding analysis calendar, IHCDA may amend the funding analysis schedule to accommodate the energy needs of affected households. In addition, the Community Programs Manager will determine if a recapture is required to mitigate the emergency. LSPs will be notified of the recapture and redistribution of funds at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the funding realignment. Budget Modification An LSP may modify its budget when it changes the dollar amounts between line items. Budget modifications can be completed any time during the program year as long as the budget meets the percentage requirements. Original signed budget modifications are not necessary. LSPs can e-mail budget modifications.

Claims LSPs must claim reimbursement for EAP obligated funds from IHCDA for Eligibility, Direct Program Expenses, Energy Education and Family Development, as well as ERR and reimbursement claims for Biofuel benefit payments, through IHCDA Online. Claims that go over the maximum percentage of a particular line item will not be reimbursed by IHCDA. IHCDA will reconcile claims at the end of the program year to check percentages.
