This Agreement between the City and Mi-Casita is to establish a counseling program for the victims of the tornado that devastated portions of the City of Lubbock on May 11, 1970. The purpose of this counseling program is to assist the displaced families in making permanent housing plans before the termination of the year's emergency period on May 8, 1971. 2. The service provided by Mi-Casita shall be to counsel with such displaced families and assist them in re-establishing their family life and re-establishing their home whether through achieving home ownership or securing suitable housing in public or private housing units. Guidance and assistance will be given to these families which will be, but not limited to, assisting such families in moving into their home, how to maintain their home and how to manage their financial affairs in order that they may meet their home payments and other obligations. 3. The families to be counseled are those who have been displaced by the tornado and are within the low and moderate income groups: Mi-Casita agrees that from those families who seek to achieve home ownership, it will select those families, who, in its judgment, have a reasonable desire and pos- sibility for achieving home ownership provided appropriate support and counseling are made available to them and make known such selected families to FHA insuring offices, VA insuring offices or other public or private agencies, that these families have been recommended for possible home ownership. The counseling service will be responsible to a Board of Directors which will be established by the City Council with such Board to be supervised jointly by the City and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. 4. The counseling service shall maintain a staff of trained, qualified directors and counselors who will contact persons in need of this service and in addition cooperation will be actively sought from all agencies, churches and organizations who wish to refer persons needing housing counseling. 5. The expense of operation of the counseling service shall be in accordance with and shall not exceed the proposed budget attached hereto and identified as Exhibit "A". No line item as shown in such budget will be exceeded. Monthly expenditures shall not exceed $15, 000. 00 for any month. Monthly reports of expenditures or obligations incurred by Mi-Casita shall be sub- mitted to the City along with a statement requesting payment of such expenditures and upon audit and approval by the City, payment of such expenditures shall be made by the City b Mi-Casita for disbursement. The City shall then in turn forward such statement and proof of payment to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for its approval. In the event any expenditures or obligations are disallowed by HUD, the City will, in turn, disallow such expenditure by Mi-Casita and shall hold Mi-Casita accountable for such item. All funds autho- rized by this Agreement shall be expended for services within the City of Lubbock. 6. It is the intention of this agreement that the City shall not furnish any funds towards the operation of Mi-Casita except to the extent that the City shall issue its check or warrant to Mi-Casita contingent upon approval and reimbursement by HUD. 7. This Agreement may be terminated on sixty. (60) day's notice by either party given to the other party, in writing; or in the event of termination of funds or disapproval of the project by HUD or for cause the City may terminate such Agreement immediately upon notice to Mi-Casita. This Agreement is contingent upon approval and acceptance of this Agreement by a' an official of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. 8. The principal officers of Mi-Casita along with the Articles of Incorporation and Charter of the parent organization are attached hereto and marked Exhibit "B". 9 This Agreement shall become effective and the services agreed upon shall commence upon the date of ey--4-i.,., i,o,.o„f EXECUTED THIS 1st I CI'.
