FOOTNOTES -- The following statements are referenced to the numbered footnotes throughout section 2. 4
79a
Department of Local Affairs, Division of Housing, Community and Non-Profit Services, Community Services, Low Income Rental Subs idies -- Of this
5
appropriation, $8,000,000 cash funds appropriated from the Revenue Loss Restoration Cash Fund remain available for expenditure until the close of the
6
2023-24 state fiscal year. It is the General Assembly's intent that $8,000,000 cash funds appropriated from the Revenue Loss Re storation Cash Fund be used
7
to provide emergency rental assistance through the Colorado emergency rental assistance program administered by the Department of Local Affairs. Because
8
the original source of $8,000,000 cash funds appropriated from the Revenue Loss Restoration Cash Fund is federal funds received under the federal "American
9
Rescue Plan Act of 2021" and it is not reasonable to interpret Section 29-32-106, C.R.S., to require the calculation of the amo unt of an ongoing maintenance
10
of effort obligation to include appropriations made from one-tim e receipts of federal funds, it is the General Assembly's furth er intent that $8,000,000 cash
11
funds appropriated from the Revenue Loss Restoration Cash Fund not be counted as "appropriations for affordable housing program s as of state fiscal year
12
2022-23" for the purpose of determining the amount of the maintenance of effort required by Section 29-32-106, C.R.S.
