HEERF (a)(2) Construction, Renovation & Real Property Projects — Technical Assistance Webinar (June 2022)
Summary
Department of Education slides for the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) (a)(2) Construction, Renovation, & Real Property Projects Technical Assistance Webinar, JUNE 2022, presented by Willette Brown-Fatoyinbo, Monique Hart and Katrina Jackson. The slides state that new flexibilities and allowances were signed into law on March 15, 2022 and let HEERF (a)(2) institutions use grant funds for construction, renovation and real property projects. They state that grantees must receive prior approval for all projects, must articulate the nexus to preventing, preparing or responding to COVID-19, and may not begin contractual bidding or construction before approval. Slides give examples of allowable uses such as dorm facilities and modular buildings, and list unallowable uses including expenditures that occurred before March 15, 2022.
