Section 3 requires that to the greatest extent feasible opportunities for training and employment be given to low- and very low-income residents of the project area, and that contracts for work in connection with the project be awarded to business concerns that provide economic opportunities for low- and very low-income persons residing in the metropolitan area in which the project is located." 2. The SUBRECIPIENT further agrees to ensure that opportunities for training and employment arising in connection with a housing rehabilitation (including reduction and abatement of lead-based paint hazards), housing construction, or other public construction project are given to low- and very low-income persons residing within the metropolitan area in which the HOME -funded project is located; where feasible, priority should be given to low- and very low-income persons within the service area of the project or the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to low - and very low-income participants in other HUD programs; and award contracts for work undertaken in connection with a housing rehabilitation (including reduction and abatement of lead-based paint hazards), housing construction, or other public construction project to business concerns that provide economic opportunities for low- and very low-income persons residing within the metropolitan area in which the HOME -funded project is located; where feasible, priority should be given to business concerns that provide economic opportunities to low- and very low- income residents within the service area or the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to low- and very low-income participants in other HUD programs. 3. The SUBRECIPIENT further warrants and agrees to include or cause to be included the criteria and requirements of this Section in every non-exempt subcontract in excess of $100,000. The SUBRECIPIENT also agrees to take such action as the federal, state or local government may direct to enforce aforesaid provisions. VIII. Compliance with Other Federal, State & Local Laws A. The SUBRECIPIENT covenants and warrants that it will comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations of the state local and federal governments, and all amendments thereto. B. Environmental review — All HOME assistance is subject to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and related federal environmental authorities and regulations at 24 CFR Part 58. 14 1. No HOME project funds will be advanced, and no costs can be incurred, until the GRANTEE has conducted an environmental review of the proposed project site as required under 24 CFR Part 58. The environmental review may result in a decision to proceed with, modify or cancel the project. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that this Agreement does not constitute a commitment of funds or site approval, and that such commitment of funds or approval may occur only upon satisfactory completion of environmental review and receipt by the GRANTEE of a release of funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development [or the State of Texas] under 24 CFR Part 58. 2. Further, the SUBRECIPIENT will not undertake or commit any funds to physical or choice -limiting actions, including property acquisition, demolition, movement, rehabilitation, conversion, repair or construction prior to the environmental clearance, and must indicate that the violation of this provision may result in the denial of any funds under the agreement. 3. A copy of the Environmental Review Record shall be maintained by both the SUBRECIPIENT and the GRANTEE. C. Flood Disaster Protection — In accordance with the requirements of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 U.S.C. 4001), the SUBRECIPIENT shall assure that for activities located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as having special flood hazards, flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program is obtained and maintained as a condition of financial assistance for acquisition or construction purposes (including rehabilitation.) D. Historic Preservation — The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to comply with the Historic Preservation requirements set forth in the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended (16 U.S.C. 470) and the procedures set forth in 36 CFR Part 800, Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Procedures for Protection of Historic Properties, insofar as they apply to the performance of this agreement. E. Relocation — The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to comply with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (URA), and implementing regulations at 49 CFR Part 24; 24 CFR Part 42 — Displacement, Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition for HUD and HUD Assisted Programs; and 24 CFR 570.606 — Displacement, relocation acquisition, and replacement of housing, as may be amended by the HOME NOFA. The SUBRECIPIENT also agrees to comply with applicable GRANTEE or local ordinances, resolutions and policies concerning the displacement of persons. 1. To meet these requirements, the owner of record must be notified in writing that Federal financial assistance will be used in the transaction and that if agreement cannot be reached through negotiation, that the acquisition will not take place. There are specific URA voluntary acquisition requirements that must be met depending on whether or not the buyer has the power of eminent domain and will not use it (see 49 CFR 24.101(b)(1)(i)-(iv)) or if the buyer does not have the power of eminent domain (see 49 CFR 24.101(b)(2)). Any acquisition under possible threat of 15 eminent domain, cannot be considered a "voluntary acquisition" (even if the seller is willing to negotiate). 2. The relocation provisions of the Uniform Relocation Act apply to HOME funds. An unlawful occupant (see 49 CFR 24.2(a) (29)) who is displaced for an HOME -funded acquisition will not be entitled to relocation assistance and payments. However, a lawful occupant displaced for an HOME -funded acquisition will generally be eligible for relocation assistance and payments under URA. The SUBRECIPIENT shall provide appropriate relocation assistance (URA or Section 104(d)) to eligible displaced persons as defined by applicable HUD and/or URA regulations that are displaced as a direct result of acquisition, rehabilitation, demolition or conversion for an HOME - assisted project. F. The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to comply with applicable state, The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3601-19,) and local civil rights ordinances and with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 as amended, Section 104(b) and Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 as amended (the HCDA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, Executive Order 11063, and Executive Order 11246 as amended by Executive Orders 11375, 11478, 12107 and 12086, and will include the provisions in every subcontract or purchase order, specifically or by reference, so that such provisions will be binding upon each of its contractors and subcontractors. G. SUBRECIPIENT agrees to comply with the requirements of 24 CFR 5.105(a)(2) requiring that HUD -assisted housing be made available without regard to actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status and prohibiting owners (or their agents) from inquiring about the sexual orientation or gender identity of an applicant for, or occupant of, HUD -assisted housing for the purpose of determining eligibility for the housing or otherwise making such housing available. This prohibition on inquiries regarding sexual orientation or gender identity does not prohibit any individual from voluntarily self -identifying sexual orientation or gender identity; H. The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders, or requirements issued under Section 306 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857(h)), Section 508 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1368), Executive Order 11738, and Environmental Protection Agency regulations (40 CFR part 15). I. The SUBRECIPIENT agrees that no funds provided, nor personnel employed under this Agreement, shall be in any way or to any extent engaged in the conduct of political activities in violation of Chapter 15 of Title V of the United States Code. The SUBRECIPIENT is prohibited from using funds provided herein or personnel employed in the administration of the program for inherently religious activities, lobbying, political patronage, and nepotism activities. The Authority certifies that it will not and, to the best of its knowledge, has not used Federally appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any Federal agency, a member of Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other award. The Authority further agrees that it shall disclose any lobbying with non -Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. J. Conflict of Interest — The provisions of 24 CFR 92.356, apply to the award of any contracts under the agreement and the selection of buyers for HOME -assisted units. This section apply to any person who is an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected official or appointed official of this section who exercise or have exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to activities assisted with HOME funds or who are in a position to participate in a decision making process or gain inside information with regard to these activities, may obtain a financial interest or benefit from a HOME -assisted activity, or have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement with respect thereto, or the proceeds thereunder, either for themselves or those with whom they have family or business ties, during their tenure or for one year thereafter. IX. Reporting, Monitoring & Access to Records A. The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to submit any and all reports required by HUD or the GRANTEE. Initially the GRANTEE will require the submission of the following reports: 1. The SUBRECIPIENT shall submit to GRANTEE, quarterly progress reports, no later than 10 business days after quarter ending. These reports shall include: pipeline of applicants, status of commitments and expenditures, status of construction on housing units, and barriers to progress. B. The GRANTEE reserves the right to unilaterally alter, supplement, or otherwise modify the frequency or content of required reports as needed to maintain adequate oversight of the program, address changes to HOME regulations, or to address findings related to noncompliance by the SUBRECIPIENT. C. The SUBRECIPIENT shall collect and maintain Project beneficiary information pertaining to household size, income levels, racial characteristics, and the presence of Female Headed Households in order to determine low and moderate -income benefit in a cumulative and individual manner. Income documentation shall be in a form consistent with HOME requirements. D. The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to provide the GRANTEE access to records and projects at any time during project implementation or for five years after project closeout for purposes of verifying compliance with HOME requirements and this agreement. Access shall be immediately granted to the GRANTEE, HUD, the Comptroller General of the United States (commonly known as the GAO), or any of their duly authorized representatives to any books, documents, papers, and records of the SUBRECIPIENT or its contractors which are directly pertinent to that specific contract for the purpose of making audit, examination, excerpts, and transcriptions. E. The GRANTEE reserves the right to audit the records of the SUBRECIPIENT any time during the performance of this Agreement and for a period of five years after final payment is made under this Agreement. If required by 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, A-133, 17 the SUBRECIPIENT will provide the AGENCY with a certified audit of the SUBRECIPIENT's records representing the all Fiscal Years during which the PROGRAM takes place. F. Project Closeout — The SUBRECIPIENT's obligation to the GRANTEE shall not end until all close-out requirements are completed. Activities during this close-out period shall include, but are not limited to: making final payments, accounting for use of funds, provision of all reports and records required by the GRANTEE. X. Suspension & Termination Suspension or termination may occur if the SUBRECIPIENT materially fails to comply with any term of this agreement. Further, the award may be terminated for convenience in accordance with 2 CFR 200, Appendix II (B). A. If the SUBRECIPIENT fails in any manner to fully perform and carry out any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the agreement, or if the SUBRECIPIENT refuses or fails to proceed with the work with such diligence as will insure its completion within the time fixed by the schedule set forth in this agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT shall be in default and notice in writing shall be given to the SUBRECIPIENT of such default by the AGENCY or an agent of the AGENCY. If the SUBRECIPIENT fails to cure such default within such time as may be required by such notice, the GRANTEE, acting by and through the AGENCY, may at its option suspend, terminate, or cancel the contract. 1. In the event of such termination, all funds awarded to the SUBRECIPIENT pursuant to this agreement shall be immediately revoked and any approvals related to the PROGRAM shall immediately be deemed revoked and canceled. In such event, the SUBRECIPIENT will no longer be entitled to receive any compensation for work undertaken after the date of the termination of this agreement, as the grant funds will no longer be available for this project. 2. In such event, the SUBRECIPIENT shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any work satisfactorily completed hereunder to the date of said termination. 3. Notwithstanding the above, the SUBRECIPIENT shall not be relieved of liability to the GRANTEE for damages sustained by the GRANTEE by virtue of any breach of the contract by the SUBRECIPIENT and the GRANTEE may withhold any payments to the SUBRECIPIENT for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due the GRANTEE from the SUBRECIPIENT is determined whether by court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise. 4. Such termination shall not effect or terminate any of the rights of the GRANTEE as against the SUBRECIPIENT then existing, or which may thereafter accrue because of such default, and the foregoing provision shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to the GRANTEE under the law and the note and mortgage (if in effect), including but not limited to compelling the SUBRECIPIENT to complete the project in accordance with the terms of this agreement, in a court of equity. 18 5. The waiver of a breach of any term, covenant or condition hereof shall not operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition hereof. B. The GRANTEE may terminate for its convenience this contract at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days notice in writing to the SUBRECIPIENT. If the contract is terminated by the GRANTEE, as provided herein, the GRANTEE will reimburse for any actual and approved expenses incurred, including those costs involved in terminating the contracts and shutting down the work as of the date of notice, less payments of compensation previously made.

E. The GRANTEE's failure to act with respect to a breach by the SUBRECIPIENT does not waive its right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
