This page contains information and resources for in-contract grantees to perform reporting requirements and request disbursement of funds. For any questions regarding a disbursement of funds or in regards to your Program requirements after execution of your Standard Agreement, please contact your assigned State Grant Management Representative or Homekey2SGM@hcd.ca.gov.
Disbursement
Funds can be requested for disbursement after the Standard Agreement has been fully executed and approved by the Department unless the Standard Agreement specifies conditions precedent to disbursement.
In addition to the specific conditions for disbursement set by your Standard Agreement, the Department requires a certification of California’s prevailing wage law (NOFA §506), a Department-approved Relocation Plan or Department-issued Certification Regarding Non-Application of Relocation Benefits and Indemnification Agreement (NOFA §504), and evidence of insurance (NOFA §800), to be on file before disbursement of Homekey award funds. We encourage Grantees to submit these forms to Homekey2SGM@hcd.ca.gov as early as possible to prevent potential delays in receiving award funds.
