HUD is solely responsible for determining the entities to be assisted, the location, and the nature of the assistance to be provided which must be part of a previously established HUD TA plan for the grantee.
HPRP-funded TA must be provided only to HPRP grantees and subgrantees and only as to carrying out HPRP.
