Yes, this was just intended as a negative example. If you are friends with a grantee, but do not share a living arrangement and don’t have any romantic involvement with them, you don’t have to disclose that, or recuse yourself from the decision.
“Not necessary to disclose or recuse: A fund member is friends with a grantee, but does not share a living arrangement and is not in any way romantically involved”

I’d write it as:
“Not necessary to disclose or recuse: A fund member is friends with a grantee, but does not share a living arrangement and is not in any way romantically involved”
That seems good. Edited the document!
