reasonable. Approval of an identity of interest contract will be in the COUNTY's sole
discretion. This provision is not intended to limit SUBRECIPIENT's ability to self -manage the
projects using its own employees.

disclosed in writing to CHS provided, however, that this section shall be interpreted in such a
manner so as not to unreasonably impede the statutory requirement that maximum opportunity be
provided for employment of and participation of low and moderate income residents of the project

improvements.

HOME Requirements
5.1 Project Requirements for SUBRECIPIENTS - 24 CFR 92.209
The SUBRECIPIENT is required to conform to the following requirements and regulations as
stated below:
24 CFR 92.209 Tenant -based rental assistance: Eligible costs and requirements.
(a) Eligible costs. Eligible costs are the rental assistance and security deposit payments made
to provide tenant -based rental assistance for a family pursuant to this section. Eligible
costs also include utility deposit assistance, but only if this assistance is provided with
tenant -based rental assistance or security deposit payment. Administration of tenant -based
rental assistance is eligible only under general management oversight and coordination at
§92.207(a), except that the costs of inspecting the housing and determining the income
eligibility of the family are eligible as costs of the tenant -based rental assistance.
(b) Tenant selection. The SUBRECIPIENT must select low-income families in accordance
with written tenant selection policies and criteria that are based on local housing needs
and priorities established in the COUNTY's consolidated plan.
(1) Low-income families. Tenant -based rental assistance may only be provided to very
low- and low-income families. The SUBRECIPIENT must determine that the
family is very low- or low-income before the assistance is provided. During the
period of assistance, the SUBRECIPIENT must annually determine that the family
continues to be low-incorne. The SUBRECIPIENT shall retain all documentation
on client eligibility by which CHS can validate elgibility during their interim and
closeout monitoring.
(2) Targeted assistance.
(i) The SUBRECIPIENT may establish a preference for individuals with
special needs (e.g., homeless persons or elderly persons) or persons with
disabilities. The SUBRECIPIENT may offer, in conjunction with a tenant -
based rental assistance program, particular types of nonmandatory services
that may be most appropriate for persons with a special need or a particular
disability. Generally, tenant -based rental assistance and the related services
should be made available to all persons with special needs or disabilities
who can benefit from such services. Participation may be limited to persons
with a specific disability if necessary to provide as effective housing, aid,
benefit, or services as those provided to others in accordance with 24 CFR
8.4(b)(1)(iv).
(ii) The SUBRECIPIENT may also provide a preference for a specific category
of individuals with disabilities (e.g., persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic
mental illness) if the specific category is identified in the COUNTY's
consolidated plan as having unmet need and the preference is needed to
narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons.
ROOF, INC.
HM20-02
Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Page 25
11J
(iii) Setf-sufficiency program. The SUBRECIPIENT may require the family to
participate in a self-sufficiency program, as a condition of selection for
assistance. The family's failure to continue participation in the self-
sufficiency program is not a basis for terminating the assistance; however,
renewal of the assistance may be conditioned on participation in the
program. Tenants living in a HOME -assisted rental project who receive
tenant -based rental assistance as relocation assistance must not be required
to participate in a self-sufficiency program as a condition of receiving
assistance.
(iv) Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities
of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR
5.105(a). For example, a SUBRECIPIENT may not determine that persons
given a preference under the program are therefore prohibited from
applying for or participating in other programs or forms of assistance.
Persons who are eligible for a preference must have the opportunity to
participate in all programs of the COUNTY, including programs that are
not separate or d ifferent.
(3) Existing tenants in the HOME -assisted projects. A SUBRECIPIENT may select
low-income families currently residing in housing units that are designated for
rehabilitation or acquisition under the COUNTY's HOME program.
SUBRECIPIENT using HOME funds for tenant -based rental assistance programs
may establish local preferences for the provision of this assistance. Families so
selected mayuse the tenant -based assistance in the rehabilitated or acquired housing
unit or in other qualified housing.
(c) Term of rental assistance contract. The term of the rental assistance contract providing
assistance with HOME funds may not exceed 24 months, but may be renewed, Subject to
the availability of HOME funds. The term of the rental assistance contract must begin on
the first day of the term of the lease. For a rental assistance contract between a
SUBRECIPIENT and an owner, the term of the contract must terminate on termination of
the lease. For a rental assistance contract between a SUBRECIPIENT and a family, the
term of the contract need not end oil termination of the lease, but no payments may be
made after termination of the lease until a family enters into a new lease.
(d) Rent reasonableness. The SUBRECIPIENT must disapprove a lease if the rent is not
reasonable, based on rents that are charged for comparable unassisted rental units.
(e) Tenant protections. The tenant lease must comply with the requirements in §92.253 (a)
and (b),
(f) Maxim in? subsidy.
(1) The amount of tile monthly assistance that SUBRECIPIENT may pay on behalf of
a family may not exceed the difference between a rent standard for the unit size
established by the COUNTY and 30 percent of the family's monthly adjusted
income.
(2) The SUBRECIPIENT must establish a minimum tenant contribution to rent.
ROOF, INC.
HM20-02
Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) Page 26
iiJ
(3) The SUBRECIPIENT's rent standard for a unit size must be based on: Local market
conditions or the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (24 CFR pant 982).

initially and re -inspected annually. The SUBRECIPIENT may not perform HQS
inspections on housing units it owns or operates.
(h) Security deposits.

to provide grants to very low- and low-income families for security deposits for
rental of dwelling units when combined with rent under this section.
(2) The relevant State or local definition of "security deposit" in the jurisdiction where
the unit is located is applicable for the purposes of this part, except that the amount
of HOME funds that may be provided for a security deposit may not exceed the
equivalent of two month's rent for the unit.
(3) Only the prospective tenant may apply for HOME security deposit assistance,
although the SUBRECIPIENT will pay the funds directly to the landlord.
(4) A written agreement regarding the terms and conditions of the security deposit must
be maintained by the SUBRECIPIENT for review by CHS staff. The utility deposit
assistance may be provided in conjunction with a security depost and/or monthly
rental assistance. The utility deposit assistance may be used only for utilities
permitted under the Section 8 utility allowance.
(i) Program operation. A tenant -based rental assistance program must be operated consistent
with the requirements of this section. Additionally, the COUNTY must approve each lease
prior to its execution.
0) Use of Section 8 assistance. In any case where assistance under Section 8 of the 1937 Act
becomes available, recipients of tenant -based rental assistance under this part will qualify
for tenant selection preferences to the same extent as when they received the HOME
tenant -based rental assistance under this part.
