Agreement. SUBRECIPIENT shall fully cooperate with COUNTY's efforts to detect,
investigate, and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.

2.5 CORRECTIVE ACTION
Corrective action plans may be required for noncompliance, nonperformance, or
unacceptable performance under this Agreement. Penalties may be imposed for failures to
implement or to make acceptable progress on such corrective action plans.
To effectively enforce COUNTY Resolution No. 2013-228, CHS has adopted an escalation
policy to ensure continued compliance by Subrecipients, Developers, or any entity
receiving grant funds from CHS. CHS's policy for escalation for non-compliance is as
follows:
Initial noncompliance may result in Findings or Concerns being issued to the
SUBRECIPIENT and will require a corrective action plan be submitted to CHS
within 15 days following issuance of the report.
Any pay requests that have been submitted to CHS for payment will be held
until the corrective action plan has been submitted.
• CHS will be available to provide Technical Assistance (TA) to the entity,
as needed, in order to correct the noncompliance issue.
2. If a SUBRECIPIENT fails to submit the corrective action plan in a timely

3.9 MATCH REQUIRED
SUBRECIPIENT must match ESG grant funds dollar -for -dollar, pursuant to 24 CFR
576.201. Matching funds shall be provided after the date of the grant award. Funds used to
match a previous ESG grant may not be used to match a subsequent grant award. A
SUBRECIPIENT may comply with its requirement by providing the matching funds from
any source, including any Federal source other than the ESG program, as well as State,
Local, and private sources. The SUBRECIPIENT must ensure the laws governing any
federal funds to be used do not prohibit those funds from being used to match ESG funds.
In order to meet the matching requirement, the matching contributions must meet all the
requirements that apply to the ESG funds provided by HUD, as required by 24 CFR
576.201(c). Matching contributions may be in the form of the following:
1. Cash contributions
2. Non -cash contributions calculated per requirements, in 24 CFR 576.201(e), to include
the value of any real property, equipment, goods, or services contributed to the
SUBRECIPIENT's ESG program, provided that, if the SUBRECIPIENT had to pay
for them with grant funds, the costs would have been allowable. Non -cash contributions
may include:
a. The purchase value of any donated material or building. SUBRECIPIENT shall
determine the value of any donated material or building, or any lease, using a
method reasonably calculated to establish a fair market value.
b. Match in the form of services provided by individuals must be valued at rates
consistent with those ordinarily paid for similar work in the SUBRECIPIENT's
organization. If the SUBRECIPIENT does not have employees performing
similar work, the rates must be consistent with those ordinarily paid by other
employers for similar work in the same labor market.
3. Costs paid by program income shall count toward meeting the SUBRECIPIENT's
matching requirements, provided the costs are eligible ESG costs that supplement the
ESG program.

3.10 REVERSION OF ASSETS
In the event of a termination of this Agreement, or upon expiration of the Agreement, and
in addition to any and all other remedies available to the COUNTY (whether under this
Agreement, or at law or in equity), the SUBRECIPIENT shall immediately transfer to the
COUNTY any funds on hand at the time of termination (or expiration) and any accounts
receivable attributable to the use of ESG funds.
The COUNTY's receipt of any funds on hand at the time of termination shall not waive
the COUNTY's right (nor excuse SUBRECIPIENT's obligation) to recoup all or any
portion of the funds, as the COUNTY may deem necessary. Regulations regarding real
property and equipment are subject to 2 CFR 200.311.
3.11 INSURANCE
SUBRECIPIENT shall not commence any work and/or services pursuant to this
Agreement, until all required insurance, as outlined in Exhibit "A" and 2 CFR 200.310 has
been obtained. Said insurance shall be carried, at all times, during SUBRECIPIENTS's
performance under the agreement.
3.12 ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to perform the Scope of Work in compliance with the Grant
Budget and the Scope of Work (Part I), the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200 et seq), and the federal
regulations for the Emergency Solutions Grant. (24 CFR 576 et seq.)
3.13 PURCHASING
SUBRECIPIENT is required to follow Federal Procurement standards at (2 CFR 200.318
through .326) and Collier County's Procurement Ordinance #2017-08, as amended.

3.14 PROGRAM -GENERATED INCOME
No Program Income is anticipated. In the event there is Program Income derived from the
use of ESG funds disbursed under this Agreement, such Program Income shall be used by
the SUBRECIPIENT for an eligible ESG project activity approved by the COUNTY. Any
"Program Income" (as such term is defined under applicable Federal regulations) gained
from any activity of the SUBRECIPIENT funded by ESG funds shall be reported to the
COUNTY through an annual program income re -use plan, utilized by the SUBRECIPIENT
accordingly, and shall be in compliance with 2 CFR 200.307 and 24 CFR 576.201. When
program income is generated by an activity that is only partially funded with ESG
funds, the income shall be prorated to reflect the percentage of ESG funds used. In
the event there is a program income balance at the end of the Program Year, such balance
shall revert to the COUNTY's ESG Program, for further reallocation.
3.15 GRANT CLOSEOUT PROCEDURES
SUBRECIPIENT's obligation to the COUNTY shall not end until all closeout
requirements are completed. Activities during this closeout period shall include, but are
not limited to making final payments, disposing of program assets (including the return of
all unused materials, equipment, program income balances, and receivable accounts to the
COUNTY), and determining the custodianship of records. In addition to the records
retention outlined in Part 2.2, the SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with Section 119.021
Florida Statutes regarding records maintenance, preservation, and retention. A conflict
between State and Federal law records retention requirements will result in the more
stringent law being applied such that the record must be held for the longer duration. Any
balance of unobligated funds which have been advanced or paid must be returned to the
COUNTY. Any funds paid in excess of the amount to which the SUBRECIPIENT is
entitled under the terms and conditions of this Agreement must be refunded to the
COUNTY. SUBRECIPIENT shall also produce records and information that complies
with Section 215.97, Florida Single Audit Act. Closeout procedures must take place in
accordance with 2 CFR 200.343 and ensure all federal grant requirements have been
completed.
3.16 OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS AND CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE
The SUBRECIPIENT agrees that no person shall be excluded from the benefits of, or be
subjected to, discrimination under any activity carried out by the performance of this
Agreement on the basis of race, color, disability, national origin, religion, age, familial
status, or sex. Upon receipt of evidence of such discrimination, the COUNTY shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement.
To the greatest extent feasible, homeless individuals have priority over other Section 3
residents, in accordance with 24 CFR 576.405(c). Section 3 of the Housing and Urban
Development Act of 1968, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1701u), and implementing regulations
at 24 CFR Part 135 requires that, to the greatest extent feasible, employment and economic
opportunities be directed to low and very low income residents of the area, and that
The Shelter for Abused Women & Children
ES20-01
Shelter Operations Page 20
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 (as defined in 42 U.S.C. 5302(a)) in which the project is located.
To the maximum extent practicable, the SUBRECIPIENT shall involve homeless
individuals and families in constructing, renovating, maintaining, and operating facilities
assisted under ESG, providing services assisted under ESG, and providing services for
occupants of facilities assisted under ESG. This involvement may include employment or
volunteer services. Section 3 is relative to any of the SUBRECIPIENT's subcontractors,
their successors and assigns, to those sanctions specified by the Agreement through which
Federal assistance is provided. The SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with Section 3 of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1968 and certifies and agrees that no
contractual or other disability exists that would prevent compliance with these
requirements.
3.17 OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALL AND MINORITY/WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES
The SUBRECIPIENT will use its best efforts to afford small businesses, minority business
enterprises, and women's business enterprises the maximum practicable opportunity to
participate in the performance of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the terms
"small business" means a business that meets the criteria set forth in section 3(a) of the
Small Business Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. 632), and "minority and women's business
enterprise" means a business at least 51 percent owned and controlled by minority group
members or women. For the purpose of this definition, "minority group members" are
Afro-Americans, Spanish-speaking, Spanish surnamed, or Spanish -heritage Americans,
Asian -Americans, and American Indians. The SUBRECIPIENT may rely on written
representations by businesses regarding their status as minority and female business
enterprises in lieu of an independent investigation.
3.18 PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES
As defined by 24 CFR 576.2, 100 percent of the beneficiaries receiving ESG funding
through this Agreement must be homeless or at risk of homelessness. Income eligibility of
beneficiaries will be validated, by reviewing supporting documentation, during any interim
and/or closeout monitoring.
3.19 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN
The SUBRECIPIENT agrees that it is committed to carry out an Affirmative Action
Program, pursuant to the COUNTY's specifications, in keeping with the principles as
provided in President's Executive Order 11246 of September 24, 1966. The COUNTY
shall provide Affirmative Action guidelines to the SUBRECIPIENT to assist in the
formulation of such program. The SUBRECIPIENT shall submit a plan for an Affirmative
Action Program for approval prior to the award of funds. If the Affirmative Action Plan is
The Shelter for Abused Women & Children
ES20-01 r'
Shelter Operations Page 21
I I J
updated during the period of performance of this Agreement, the updated plan must be
submitted to the COUNTY within 30 days of any update/modification.
3.20 CONFLICT OF INTEREST
The SUBRECIPIENT covenants that no person under its employ, who presently exercises
any functions or responsibilities in connection with the Project, has any personal financial
interest, direct or indirect, in the Project areas or any parcels therein, which would conflict
in any manner or degree with the performance of this Agreement, and that no person having
any conflict of interest shall be employed by or subcontracted by the SUBRECIPIENT.
The SUBRECIPIENT covenants that it will comply with all provisions of 24 CFR 576.404
"Conflict of Interest", 2 CFR 200.318, Florida Statute 287.057 and any additional State
and County statutes, regulations, ordinances, or resolutions governing conflicts of interest.
The SUBRECIPIENT will notify the COUNTY, in writing, and seek COUNTY approval
prior to entering into any contract with an entity owned in whole or in part by a covered
person or an entity owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by the SUBRECIPIENT. The
COUNTY may review the proposed contract to ensure that the contractor is qualified and
that the costs are 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.
Any possible conflict of interest on the part of the SUBRECIPIENT, its employees, or its
contractors shall be disclosed, in writing, to CHS provided however, that this paragraph
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 target area.
3.21 EMERGENCY SHELTERS
Any emergency shelter that receives assistance for shelter operations must also meet
minimum safety, sanitation, and privacy standards (Exhibit E), as required by 24 CFR
576.403(b).
3.22 PERMANENT HOUSING
Assistance for program participants to remain or move into housing must meet the
minimum habitability standards (Exhibit F) provided in 24 CFR 576.403(c) and all
applicable State and Local housing codes, licensing requirements, and any other
requirements in the jurisdiction in which the housing is located regarding the condition of
the structure and the operation of the housing.
3.23 COORDINATION WITH CONTINUUM OF CARE AND OTHER PROGRAMS
The SUBRECIPIENT must document its compliance with the requirements of 24 CFR
576.400 for consulting with the Continuum of Care and coordinating and integrating ESG

assistance with programs targeted toward homeless people and mainstream service and
assistance programs (Exhibit G).
3.24 HOMELESS PARTICIPATION
The SUBRECIPIENT must document its compliance with the homeless participation
requirements under 24 CFR 576.405(c).
3.25 CENTRALIZED OR COORDINATED ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS AND
PROCEDURES
The SUBRECIPIENT must keep documentation evidencing the use of and written intake
procedures for the centralized or coordinated assessment system(s) developed by the
Continuum of Care in accordance with the requirements established by HUD and identified
in 24 CFR 576.500(g).
3.26 CONDITIONS FOR RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
ESG funds may be used by religious organizations or on property owned by religious
organizations only in accordance with requirements set in Section 24 CFR 576.406. The
SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with First Amendment Church/State principles as follows:
A. It will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment on the
basis of religion and will not limit employment or give preference in employment
to persons on the basis of religion.
B. It will not discriminate against any person applying for public services on the basis
of religion and will not limit such services or give preference to persons on the basis
of religion.
C. It will retain its independence from Federal, State, and Local governments and may
continue to carry out its mission, including the definition, practice, and expression
of its religious beliefs, provided that it does not use direct ESG funds to support
any inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or
proselytizing.
D. The funds shall not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of
structures to the extent that those structures are used for inherently religious
activities. Where a structure is used for both eligible and inherently religious
activities, ESG funds may not exceed the cost of those portions of the acquisition,
construction, or rehabilitation that are attributable to eligible activities in
accordance with the cost accounting requirements applicable to ESG funds in this
part. Sanctuaries, chapels, or other rooms that an ESG funded religious
congregation uses as its principal place of worship, however, are ineligible for ESG
funded improvements.

Agreement, shall be a condition of the Federal financial assistance provided under this
Agreement and binding upon the COUNTY, the SUBRECIPIENT and any of the
SUBRECIPIENT's Subrecipients and subcontractors. Failure to fulfill these requirements
shall subject the COUNTY, the SUBRECIPIENT and any of the SUBRECIPIENT's
Subrecipients and subcontractors, their successors and assigns, to those sanctions specified
by the Agreement through which Federal assistance is provided. The SUBRECIPIENT
certifies and agrees that no contractual or other disability exists that would prevent
compliance with these requirements.
https://www.hudexchange. info/resource/23 3 0/24-cfr-part-13 5-section-3-regulations/
The SUBRECIPIENT further agrees to comply with these "Section 3" requirements and to
include the following language in all subcontracts executed under this Agreement:
"The work to be performed under this Agreement is a project assisted under a program
providing direct Federal financial assistance from HUD and is subject to the requirements
of Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended (12 U.S.C.
1701). 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."
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 CDBG-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
