applicable laws, regulations, and policies governing the funds provided under this Agreement,
further defined by 2 CFR 200.332. Substandard performance,as determined by CHS,will constitute

2.5 CORRECTIVE ACTION
Corrective action plans may be required for noncompliance, nonperformance, or unacceptable
performance under this Agreement. Penalties may be imposed for failure 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. The escalation policy for noncompliance is as follows:
1. Initial noncompliance may result in Findings or Concerns being issued to the
SUBRECIPIENT, which will require a corrective action plan to be submitted to
CHS within 15 days following issuance of the report.
LEGAL AID SERVICE OF BROWARD COUNTY,INC.D/B/A LEGAL AID SERVICE OF COLLIER COUNTY
CD-CV21-03

• 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
SUBRECIPIENT, as needed, in order to correct the noncompliance issue.
2. If SUBRECIPIENT fails to submit the corrective action plan to CHS in a timely
manner, the COUNTY may require a portion of the awarded grant funds be
returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require upwards of 5 percent of the award amount be returned to the
COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SUBRECIPIENT may be denied future consideration, as set forth in
Resolution No. 2013-228.

certified mail, CHS may require a portion of the awarded grant amount or the
amount of the CDBG-CV investment for acquisition of the properties conveyed,
be returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require upwards of 10 percent of the award amount to be returned
to the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SUBRECIPIENT will be considered in violation of Resolution No. 2013-
228.
4. If after repeated notification, SUBRECIPIENT continues to be substantially
noncompliant, CHS may recommend the Agreement or award be terminated.
• CHS will make a recommendation to the Board to immediately terminate
Agreement.The SUBRECIPIENT will be required to repay all funds disbursed
by CHS for the project that was terminated. This includes the amount invested
by the COUNTY for the initial acquisition of properties or other activities.
• SUBRECIPIENT will be considered in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228.
If the SUBRECIPIENT has multiple agreements with the COUNTY, and is found to be
noncompliant, the above sanctions may be imposed across all awards at the Board's
discretion.

Affirmative Action Program for approval prior to the award of funds. The Affirmative Action
Program will need to be updated throughout the continued use period and 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

shall be employed by or subcontracted by SUBRECIPIENT. The SUBRECIPIENT covenants that
it will comply with all provisions of 24 CFR 570.611 "Conflict of Interest," 2 CFR 200.318, and
the 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 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 to CHS in writing, 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.

religion, and will not limit or give preference in employment to persons based on religion.

and will not limit such services or give preference to persons based on religion.

religious beliefs,provided it does not use direct CDBG-CV 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, CDBG-CV 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 CDBG-CV funds in this part. Sanctuaries, chapels, or other rooms that a
CDBG-CV funded religious congregation uses as its principal place of worship, however,
are ineligible for CDBG-CV funded improvements.
3.23 INCIDENT REPORTING

subcontractors shall report to the COUNTY knowledge or reasonable suspicion of abuse, neglect,
or exploitation of a child, aged person, or disabled person.

meaningful access to the program/project and activities funded under this Agreement for persons
with limited English proficiency pursuant to information located at http://www.lep.gov.
4.48 Equal Treatment of Faith-Based Organizations: By regulation, HUD prohibits all recipient
organizations from using financial assistance from HUD to fund explicitly religious activities. The
SUBRECIPIENT agrees to avoid such prohibited conduct. For more information, see
https://ojp.gov/about/ocr/partnerships.htm. Discrimination on the basis of religion in employment
is generally prohibited by federal law, but the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is interpreted on
a case-by-case basis to allow some faith-based organizations to receive HUD funds while taking
into account religion when hiring staff. Questions in this regard should be directed to the Office
for Civil Rights.
4.49 Arrest and Conviction Records: Federal and state laws restrict use of arrest and conviction records
in the employment context, except when specifically authorized. The SUBRECIPIENT agrees to
avoid the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen applicants for employment or employees
for retention or promotion that may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin,
resulting in unlawful employment discrimination unless use is otherwise specifically authorized by
law. See https://oip.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/UseofConviction Advisory.pdf for more details.

member of Congress,an 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 or subaward covered
