disbursed by the COUNTY for the terminated project. This includes the
amount invested by the COUNTY for the initial acquisition of properties or
other activities.
• SUBRECIPIENT will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228.

Federal Regulations, Part 576, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development regulations
concerning the HEARTH Act. The SUBRECIPIENT also agrees to comply with all other

provided under this Agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT further agrees to utilize the funds to
supplement rather than supplant funds otherwise available.
3.3 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be construed in any manner,
as creating or establishing the relationship of employer/employee between the parties.
SUBRECIPIENT shall always remain an "independent contractor" with respect to the
services to be performed under this Agreement. The COUNTY shall be exempt from
payment of all Unemployment Compensation, FICA, retirement, life and/or medical

such amendments make specific reference to this Agreement, and are executed in writing,
signed by a duly authorized representative of each organization, and approved by the

relieve or release the COUNTY or SUBRECIPIENT from its obligations under this
Agreement.
The COUNTY may,at its discretion,amend this Agreement to conform with Federal, State,
or Local guidelines, policies, available funding amounts, or other reasons. If such

3.5 AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS
The parties acknowledge that the Funds originate from HUD ESG grant funds and must be
implemented in full compliance with all of HUD's rules and regulations and any agreement
between COUNTY and HUD governing ESG funds pertaining to this Agreement. In the
event of curtailment or non-production of said federal funds, the financial resources
necessary to continue to pay the SUBRECIPIENT all or any portion of the funds will not
be available. In that event,the COUNTY may terminate this Agreement,which termination
shall be effective as of the date that it is determined by the County Manager or designee,
in his or her sole discretion and judgment, that the funds are no longer available. In the
event of such termination, the SUBRECIPIENT agrees that it will not look to, nor seek to
hold the COUNTY, nor any individual member of the County Commissioners and/or
County Administration, personally liable for the performance of this Agreement, and the
COUNTY shall be released from any further liability to SUBRECIPIENT under the terms
of this Agreement.
3.6 INDEMNIFICATION
To the maximum extent permitted by Florida law, SUBRECIPIENT shall indemnify and
hold harmless Collier County, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all claims,
liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and causes of action which may arise out of an act or
omission, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees, to the
extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the
SUBRECIPIENT or any of its agents, officers, servants, employees, contractors, patrons,
guests, clients, licensees, invitees, or any persons acting under the direction, control, or
supervision of SUBRECIPIENT in the performance of this Agreement. This
indemnification obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce any other
rights or remedies which otherwise may be available to an indemnified party or person
described in this paragraph. SUBRECIPIENT shall pay all claims and losses of any nature
whatsoever in connection therewith and shall defend all suits in the name of the COUNTY
and shall pay all costs (including attorney's fees) and judgments which may issue thereon.
This Indemnification shall survive the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement.
This section does not pertain to any incident arising from the sole negligence of the

immunity beyond the limits set forth in Section 768.28,Florida Statutes. This Section shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Agreement may also be terminated by the COUNTY,if the award no longer effectuates the
program goals or grantor agency priorities.

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.
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), incuding
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 SUSPENSION AND DEBARMENT
SUBRECIPIENT certifies that neither it, nor its principals, are presently debarred,
suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from
participation in this transaction by any Federal department or agency; and that
SUBRECIPIENT shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier contract, or other covered
transaction, as outlined in Executive Orders 12549 (1986) and 12689 (1989) Suspension
and Debarment and 2 CFR 200.214, as further detailed in Section 4.18.
3.11 REVERSION OF ASSETS
In the event of a termination 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.
3.12 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 constantly during SUBRECIPIENT's
performance under the Agreement.
3.13 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

3.14 PURCHASING
SUBRECIPIENT is required to follow Federal Procurement standards at (2 CFR 200.318
through 200.326) and Collier County's Procurement Ordinance #2017-08, as amended.
Current purchasing thresholds are:
Range: Competition Required
$0 - $50,000 3 Written Quotes
$50,001+ Formal Solicitation (ITB, RFP, etc.)
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.322, to the greatest extent practicable, SUBRECIPIENT
shall procure, acquire, or use goods, products or materials produced in the United States.
In accordance with 2 CFR 200.323, SUBRECIPIENT shall procure items that contain the
highest percentage of recovered materials practicable, consistent with maintaining a
satisfactory level of completion, per 2 CFR 200, Appendix II (J) and 2 CFR 200.323.
All improvements specified in Part I Scope of Work shall be performed by
SUBRECIPIENT employees, or be put out to competitive bidding under a procedure
acceptable to the COUNTY and Federal requirements. The SUBRECIPIENT shall enter
into contracts for improvements with the lowest, responsible, and qualified bidder.
Contract administration shall be conducted by the SUBRECIPIENT and monitored by
CHS, which shall have access to all records and documents related to the project.
3.15 PROGRAM-GENERATED INCOME
No Program Income is anticipated. However, if Program Income is 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 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. If 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.
3.16 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

Rapid Rehousing A

I fl 6
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 records retention law 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 that 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 comply with
Section 215.97, Florida Single Audit Act. Closeout procedures must take place in
accordance with 2 CFR 200.344 and ensure all federal grant requirements have been
completed.
3.17 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 based on 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
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.
3.18 OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALL AND MINORITY/WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESS
ENTERPRISES
The SUBRECIPIENT will use its best efforts to afford small businesses and minority and
women's business enterprises the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in the
._._-------__---

performance of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term "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.
3.19 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 interim
and/or closeout monitoring.
3.20 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
SUBRECIPIENT shall submit a plan for an Affirmative Action Program for approval prior
to the award of funds. If the Affirmative Action Plan is updated during the period of
performance under this Agreement, the updated plan must be submitted to the COUNTY
within 60 days of any update/modification.
3.21 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, ordinance, 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.
Youth Haven,Inc.

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.
3.22 EMERGENCY SHELTERS
Any emergency shelter that receives assistance for shelter operations must also meet
minimum safety, sanitation, and privacy standards, as required by 24 CFR 576.403(b).
3.23 PERMANENT HOUSING

the structure and the operation of the housing.
3.24 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).
3.25 HOMELESS PARTICIPATION
The SUBRECIPIENT must document its compliance with the homeless participation
requirements under 24 CFR 576.405(c).
3.26 CENTRALIZED OR COORDINATED ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS AND
PROCEDURES
The SUBRECIPIENT must maintain 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).
3.27 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 forth in Section 24 CFR 576.406.
Youth Haven,Inc.

The SUBRECIPIENT shall comply with First Amendment Church/State principles as
follows:
A. It will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment and will
not limit employment or give preference in employment to persons based on
religion.
B. It will not discriminate against any person applying for public services and will not
limit such services or give preference to persons based on 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 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 a ESG funded religious congregation
uses as its principal place of worship, however, are ineligible for ESG funded
improvements.
3.28 INCIDENT REPORTING
If services to clients are provided under this Agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT and any
subcontractors shall report knowledge or reasonable suspicion of abuse, neglect, or
exploitation of a child, aged person, or disabled adult to the COUNTY.
3.29 SEVERABILITY
Should any provision of the Agreement be determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such
a determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section or part
thereof.

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

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

establish additional procedures that ensure that those persons are made aware of the facilities,
assistance, and services. The SUBRECIPIENT must take appropriate steps to ensure effective
communication with persons with disabilities including, but not limited to, adopting procedures
that will make available to interested persons information concerning the location of assistance,
services, and facilities that are accessible to persons with disabilities. Consistent with Title VI and

meaningful access to programs and activities for limited English proficiency (LEP)persons.
Meaningful Access to the ESG-RRP Program for Limited English Proficient Persons:
Persons who, as a result of national origin, do not speak English as their primary language and
who have limited ability to speak, read, write, or understand English (limited English proficient
persons or LEP) may be entitled to language assistance under Title VI in order to receive a
particular service, benefit, or encounter. In accordance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 (Title VI) and its implementing regulations, the SUBRECIPIENT agrees to take reasonable
steps to ensure meaningful access to activities for LEP persons.Any of the following actions could
constitute "reasonable steps," depending on the circumstances: acquiring translators to translate
vital documents, advertisements, or notices; acquiring interpreters for face to face interviews with
LEP persons;placing advertisements and notices in newspapers that serve LEP persons;partnering
with other organizations that serve LEP populations to provide interpretation, translation, or
dissemination of information regarding the project; hiring bilingual employees or volunteers for
outreach and intake activities; and contracting with a telephone line interpreter service, etc.
Terminating Assistance:
If a program participant violates program requirements, the SUBRECIPIENT may terminate the
assistance in accordance with a formal process established by the SUBRECIPIENT and this
process shall recognize the rights of individuals affected. The SUBRECIPIENT must exercise
judgment and examine all extenuating circumstances in determining when violations warrant
termination, so that a program participant's assistance is terminated only in the most severe cases.
To terminate rental assistance to a program participant,the required formal process,at a minimum,
must consist of:
Youth Haven,Inc.

the same family or individual
Housing Quality Standards:
The SUBRECIPIENT cannot use ESG-RRHP funds to help a program participant remain or move
into housing that does not meet the habitability standards set forth in 24 CFR 576.403 (c) as

requirements to be established by HUD, each ESG-funded program or project within the
Continuum of Care's area must use that assessment system. The COUNTY and
SUBRECIPIENT must work with the Continuum of Care to ensure the screening, assessment,
and referral of program participants are consistent with the written standards required by
paragraph (e) of this section. A victim service provider may choose not to use the Continuum
of Care's centralized or coordinated assessment system.
(e) Written standards for providing ESG assistance. The SUBRECIPIENT must have written
standards for providing ESG assistance and must consistently apply those standards for all
program participants.
At a minimum these written standards must include:
(1) Standard policies and procedures for evaluating individuals'and families'eligibility
for assistance under ESG.
(2) Standards for targeting and providing essential services related to street outreach.

(3) Policies and procedures for admission, diversion, referral, and discharge by
emergency shelters assisted under ESG, including standards regarding length of
stay, if any, and safeguards to meet the safety and shelter needs of special
populations, e.g.,victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and
stalking; and individuals and families who have the highest barriers to housing and
are likely to be homeless the longest.
(4) Policies and procedures for assessing,prioritizing, and reassessing individuals' and
families' needs for essential services related to emergency shelter.
(5) Policies and procedures for coordination among emergency shelter providers,
essential services providers, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing
assistance providers; other homeless assistance providers; and mainstream service
and housing providers (see §576.400(b) and (c) for a list of programs with which
ESG-funded activities must be coordinated and integrated to the maximum extent
practicable).
(6) Policies and procedures for determining and prioritizing which eligible families and
individuals will receive homelessness prevention assistance and which eligible
families and individuals will receive rapid re-housing assistance.
(7) Standards for determining what percentage or amount of rent and utilities costs each
program participant must pay while receiving homelessness prevention or rapid re-
housing assistance.
(8) Standards for determining how long a particular program participant will be
provided with rental assistance and whether and how the amount of that assistance
will be adjusted over time.
(9) Standards for determining the type, amount, and duration of housing stabilization
and/or relocation services to provide to a program participant, including the limits,
if any, on the homelessness prevention or rapid re-housing assistance that each
program participant may receive, such as the maximum amount of assistance,
maximum number of months the program participant receive assistance, or the
maximum number of times the program participant may receive assistance.
(f) Participation in HMIS. The SUBRECIPIENT must ensure that data on all persons served and
all activities assisted under ESG are entered into the applicable community wide HMIS or a
comparable database, in accordance with HUD's standards on participation, data collection,
and reporting under a local HMIS. If the SUBRECIPIENT is a victim service provider or a
legal services provider, it may use a comparable database that collects client-level data over
time (i.e., longitudinal data) and generates unduplicated aggregate reports based on the data.
Information entered into a comparable database must not be entered directly into or provided
to an HMIS.
