Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the following provisions shall be implemented:
1. Any remaining authorization or bond proceeds of Virginia Public Building Authority bonds designated for project 17733 (Construction of Community Housing for Central Virginia), Chapter 781 of the 2009 Acts of Assembly Item C-103.05. A.5., may be used by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to make grants to localities, community service boards or private sponsors for the construction, rehabilitation and/or acquisition of integrated living options, such as single-family or multi-family housing, for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability.
2. a) The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is authorized to enter into contracts with localities, community services board and private sponsors for the provision of integrated living options, such as single family or multi-family housing, for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability subject to contractual terms acceptable to the Secretary of Finance and the Secretary of Health and Human Resources.
b) Such contracts may only be entered into where the amount of any ongoing assistance results in a cost for the units designated for individuals with an intellectual or developmental disability deemed affordable without Commonwealth housing assistance, unless the General Assembly has approved in the current biennial budget additional funds to support housing assistance for these units.
3. The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is authorized to enter into agreements with other state agencies and authorities to administer these grants. The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is authorized to pay from such Virginia Public Building Authority bond proceeds designated for project 17733 costs and/or fees to such agency or authority, as may be specifically authorized in a memorandum of agreement between the entities and approved by the Secretary of Finance and the Secretary of Health and Human Resources.
