(d) The commissioner may designate a portion of the rental assistance available under the program for tenant-based and project-based supportive housing units. To the extent practicable rental assistance for supportive housing shall adhere to the requirements of the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, 42 USC 1437f(o), relative to calculating the tenant's share of the rent to be paid.
(e) The commissioner shall administer the program under this section to promote housing choice for certificate holders and encourage racial and economic integration. The commissioner shall affirmatively seek to expend all funds appropriated for the program on an annual basis without regard to population limitation established in prior years. The commissioner shall establish maximum rent levels for each municipality in a manner that promotes the use of the program in all municipalities, provided, if the fair market rent established for a housing unit under the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program, 42 USC 1437f(o), is greater than such maximum allowable rent established for such housing unit, such fair market rent shall apply for such housing unit. Any certificate issued pursuant to this section may be used for housing in any municipality in the state. The commissioner shall inform certificate holders that a certificate may be used in any municipality and, to the extent practicable, the commissioner shall assist certificate holders in finding housing in the municipality of their choice.
(f) Nothing in this section shall give any person a right to continued receipt of rental assistance at any time that the program is not funded.
