There shall be 4 grant types representing 4 distinct phases of planning and regulatory reform. Applicants for any phase other than phase one shall demonstrate that the activities of each preceding phase are substantially complete before an applicant may apply for funding for a successive type or grant phase. The activities of such earlier grant phases may have occurred without the assistance of this program. The 4 grant phases shall be:

1. (a) Master plan update, with a focus on workforce and other housing;
2. (b) Regulatory audit, which includes identifying and assessing barriers to workforce and other housing;
3. (c) Regulatory change, which reduces identified barriers to workforce and other housing; and
4. (d) HC designation assistance.
