# §578.45. Rehabilitation.

- (a) **Use.** Grant funds may be used to pay up to 100 percent of the cost of rehabilitation of structures to provide housing or supportive services to homeless persons.
- (b) **Eligible costs.** Eligible rehabilitation costs include installing cost-effective energy measures, and bringing an existing structure to State and local government health and safety standards.
- (c) **Ineligible costs.** Grant funds may not be used for rehabilitation of leased property.
- (d) **Broadband infrastructure.** Any substantial rehabilitation, as defined by [24 CFR 5.100](/cfr/24/5.100.md), of a building with more than 4 rental units and funded by a grant awarded after January 19, 2017 must include installation of broadband infrastructure, as this term is also defined in [24 CFR 5.100](/cfr/24/5.100.md), except where the grantee determines and, in accordance with [§ 578.103](/cfr/24/578.103.md), documents the determination that:
  - (1) The location of the substantial rehabilitation makes installation of broadband infrastructure infeasible;
  - (2) The cost of installing broadband infrastructure would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of its program or activity or in an undue financial burden; or
  - (3) The structure of the housing to be substantially rehabilitated makes installation of broadband infrastructure infeasible.
