This regulation establishes the procedural framework for a loan application review panel under the DC Office of Health Planning and Development, covering panel composition, meeting schedules, eligibility criteria weighting, and notification requirements for loan approvals and denials. The loans appear related to housing for individuals in alcohol and drug abuse services contexts. This is an administrative/financial process regulation, not a facility licensing or operating standards rule, and does not directly govern any specific level of behavioral health care.
