HOME Requirements
5.1 Project Requirements for SUBRECIPIENTs
The SUBRECIPIENT is required to conform to the following requirements and regulations as
stated below:
24 CFR 92.504(c)(3)
(i) Use of the HOME funds. The agreement between the participating jurisdiction and a for-
profit or nonprofit housing owner, sponsor, or SUBRECIPIENT must describe the address of the
project or the legal description of the property if a street address has not been assigned to the
property, the use of the HOME funds and other funds for the project, including the tasks to be
performed for the project, a schedule for completing the tasks and the project, and a complete
budget. These items must be in sufficient detail to provide a sound basis for the participating
jurisdiction to effectively monitor performance under the agreement to achieve project
completion and compliance with the HOME requirements.
(ii)Affordability. The agreement must require housing assisted with HOME funds to meet
the affordability requirements of§92.252 or §92.254, as applicable, and must require repayment
of the funds if the housing does not meet the affordability requirements for the specified time
period. The affordability requirements in §92.252 must be imposed by deed restrictions,
covenants running with the land, use restrictions, or other mechanisms approved by HUD under
which the participating jurisdiction has the right to require specific performance.
(A) If the owner or SUBRECIPIENT is undertaking rental projects, the agreement must
establish the initial rents, the procedures for rent increases pursuant to §92.252(f)(2), the number
of HOME units, the size of the HOME units, and the designation of the HOME units as fixed or
floating, and include the requirement that the owner or SUBRECIPIENT provide the address
(e.g., street address and apartment number) of each HOME unit no later than the time of initial
occupancy.
(B) If the owner or SUBRECIPIENT is undertaking a homeownership project for sale to
homebuyers in accordance with §92.254(a), the agreement must set forth the resale or recapture
requirements that must be imposed on the housing, the sales price or the basis upon which the
sales price will be determined, and the disposition of the sales proceeds. Recaptured funds must
be returned to the participating jurisdiction.
(iii) Project requirements. The agreement must require compliance with project
requirements in subpart F of this part, as applicable in accordance with the type of project
assisted. The agreement may permit the owner to limit eligibility or give a preference to a
particular segment of the population in accordance with §92.253(d).
(iv) Property standards. The agreement must require the housing to meet the property
standards in §92.251, upon project completion. The agreement must also require owners of rental
housing assisted with HOME funds to maintain the housing compliance with §92.251 for the
duration of the affordability period.
Rock Island Economic Growth Corporation dba Economic Growth Corporation
HM16-002 IDIS#550
Homebuyer Education and Acquistion Assistance Program Page 26
1 1E
(v) Other program requirements. The agreement must require the owner, SUBRECIPIENT
or sponsor to carry out each project in compliance with the following requirements of subpart H
of this part:
(A) The agreement must specify the owner or SUBRECIPIENT's affirmative marketing
responsibilities as enumerated by the participating jurisdiction in accordance with §92.351.
(B)The federal requirements and nondiscrimination established in §92.350.
(C)Any displacement,relocation, and acquisition requirements imposed by the participating
jurisdiction consistent with §92.353.

(E)The conflict of interest provisions prescribed in §92.356(f).
(vi) Records and reports. The agreement must specify the particular records that must be
maintained and the information or reports that must be submitted in order to assist the
participating jurisdiction in meeting its recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The owner of
rental housing must annually provide the participating jurisdiction with information on rents and
occupancy of HOME-assisted units to demonstrate compliance with §92.252. If the rental
housing project has floating HOME units, the owner must provide the participating jurisdiction
with information regarding unit substitution and filling vacancies so that the project remains in
compliance with HOME rental occupancy requirements. The agreement must specify the
reporting requirements (including copies of financial statements) to enable the participating
jurisdiction to determine the financial condition (and continued financial viability) of the rental
project.
(vii) Enforcement of the agreement. The agreement must provide for a means of
enforcement of the affordable housing requirements by the participating jurisdiction and the
intended beneficiaries. This means of enforcement may include liens on real property, deed
restrictions, or covenants running with the land. The affordability requirements in §92.252 must
be imposed by deed restrictions, covenants running with the land, use restrictions, or other
mechanisms approved by HUD under which the participating jurisdiction has the right to require
specific performance. In addition, the agreement must specify remedies for breach of the
provisions of the agreement.
(viii) Requests for disbursement of funds. The agreement must specify that the
SUBRECIPIENT may not request disbursement of funds under the agreement until the funds are
needed for payment of eligible costs. The amount of each request must be limited to the amount
needed.
(ix) Duration of the agreement. The agreement must specify the duration of the agreement.
If the housing assisted under this agreement is rental housing, the agreement must be in effect
through the affordability period required by the participating jurisdiction under §92.252. If the
housing assisted under this agreement is homeownership housing,the agreement must be in effect
at least until completion of the project and ownership by the low-income family.

HM16-002 IDIS#550
Homebuyer Education and Acquistion Assistance Program Page 27
liE
(x) Community housing development organization provisions. If the nonprofit owner or
SUBRECIPIENT is a community housing development organization and is using set-aside funds
under §92.300, the agreement must include the appropriate provisions under §§92.300, 92.301,
and 92.303. If the community development organization is receiving HOME funds as a
SUBRECIPIENT of homeownership housing,the agreement must specify if the organization may
retain proceeds from the sale of the housing and whether the proceeds are to be used for HOME-
eligible or other housing activities to benefit low-income families. Recaptured funds are subject
to the requirements of§92.503. If the community housing development organization is receiving
assistance for operating expenses, see paragraph(c)(6)of this section.
(xi) Fees. The agreement must prohibit project owners from charging fees that are not
customarily charged in rental housing such as laundry room access fees, and other fees. However,
rental project owners may charge reasonable application fees to prospective tenants may charge
parking fees to tenants only if such fees are customary for rental housing projects in the
neighborhood; and may charge fees for services such as bus transportation or meals, as long as
such services are voluntary. The agreement must also prohibit the SUBRECIPIENT that is
undertaking a homeownership project from charging servicing, origination, processing,
inspection,or other fees for the costs of providing homeownership assistance.
5.2 Affordability Requirements
LONG TERM AFFORDABILITY
The HOME-assisted housing must meet the affordability requirements for not less than
the applicable period specified in the following table,beginning after project completion. The per
unit amount of HOME funds and the affordability period that they trigger are described more
fully below under Recapture Provisions.
Minimum period of affordability
HOME Required Affordability Period in years
Rehabilitation or acquisition of existing housing per unit 5
amount of HOME funds: Under$15,000
$15,000 to $40,000 10
Over$40,000 or rehabilitation involving refinancing 15
New construction or acquisition of newly constructed 20
housing
5.3 Maximum Per-Unit Subsidy Requirements
The maximum HOME per-unit subsidy may not be increased above 240 percent of the base limits
authorized by §221(d)(3)(ii) of the National Housing Act [12 U.S.C. 17151(d)(3)(iii)]. In no case
will the County's funding of the Project be less than$1,000 per HOME-assisted unit or more than
the maximum per unit subsidy allowed under 24CFR 92.250(a). The maximum subsidy for 3
bedroom units is $215,282.
Rock Island Economic Growth Corporation dba Economic Growth Corporation
HM16-002 IDIS#550
Homebuyer Education and Acquistion Assistance Program Page 28
f
The COUNTY will notify the SUBRECIPIENT of the exact date of the expiration of the
affordability period. The SUBRECIPIENT will record a covenant running with the land, in form
satisfactory to the COUNTY that provides a means for enforcement of the affordability
restrictions of 24 CFR 92.252. The covenant will be recorded senior to all other financing liens,
including the first-position mortgage referenced above, and be enforceable against all successors
in interest to VOASE. Failure of the project to meet all applicable HOME requirements for the
entire Affordability Period will result in a requirement that all HOME funds be repaid by the
SUBRECIPIENT to the COUNTY.
5.4 Resale Provisions
Resale provisions are as follows [24 CFR 92.254(a)(5)(i)]:
(i)Resale. Resale requirements must ensure, if the housing does not continue to be the
principal residence of the family for the duration of the period of affordability that the
housing is made available for subsequent purchase only to a buyer whose family qualifies
as a low-income family and will use the property as the family's principal residence. The
resale requirement must also ensure that the price at resale provides the original HOME-
assisted owner a fair return on investment (including the homeowner's investment and
any capital improvement) and ensure that the housing will remain affordable to a
reasonable range of low- income homebuyers. The participating jurisdiction must
specifically define "fair return on investment" and "affordability to a reasonable range of
low-income homebuyers," and specifically address how it will make the housing
affordable to a low-income homebuyer in the event that the resale price necessary to
provide fair return is not affordable to the subsequent buyer. The period of affordability is
based on the total amount of HOME funds invested in the housing.
5.5 Recapture Provisions
Recapture provisions are as follows [24 CFR 92.254(a)(5)(ii)]:
(ii)Recapture. Recapture provisions must ensure that the participating jurisdiction recoups
all or a portion of the HOME assistance to the homebuyers, if the housing does not
continue to be the principal residence of the family for the duration of the period of
affordability. The participating jurisdiction may structure its recapture provisions based
on its program design and market conditions. The period of affordability is based upon
the total amount of HOME funds subject to recapture described in paragraph
(a)(5)(ii)(A)(5) of this section. Recapture provisions may permit the subsequent
homebuyer to assume the HOME assistance (subject to the HOME requirements for the
remainder of the period of affordability) if the subsequent homebuyer is low-income, and
no additional HOME assistance is provided.
