Justification: Given the urgent housing and economic needs created by COVID-19,and the substantial financial impact the participating jurisdiction will face in addressing those needs,waiver of these regulations will relieve the PJ from the need to identify and provide matching contributions to HOME projects.

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,HOME 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 HOME funds in this part. Sanctuaries, chapels, or other rooms that a HOME funded religious congregation uses as its principal place of worship,however,are ineligible for HOME funded improvements. 3.23 INCIDENT REPORTING If services to clients are provided under this Agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT and any subcontractors shall report to CHS, knowledge or reasonable suspicion of abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a child,aged person,or disabled person. 3.24 SEVERABILITY Should any provision of the Agreement be determined unenforceable or invalid,such determination shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section or part thereof.

Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank CCI IA HM2I-02 Tenant Based Rental Assistance(rBRA) Page 29 160 6 PART V 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-income. The SUBRECIPIENT shall retain all documentation on client eligibility by which CHS can validate eligibility 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. CCHA 11M21-02 C, Tenant Based Rental Assistance(TBRA) Page 30 A0 160 6 (iii) Self-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 I-IOME-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 different. (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 may use 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 for 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 on 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) Maximum subsidy. (I) The amount of the 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. CCHA HM21-02 (,'11 Tenant Based Rental Assistance(TBRA) Page 31 0 16 ._Y 6 (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 part 982). (g) Housing quality standards. Housing occupied by a family receiving tenant-based assistance under this section must meet the requirements set forth in 24 CFR 982.401.The SUBRECIPIENT must have housing units inspected, by a certified HQS inspector, initially and re-inspected annually. The SUBRECIPIENT may not perform HQS inspections on housing units it owns or operates. (h) Security deposits. (1) SUBRECIPIENT may use HOME funds provided for tenant-based rental assistance 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. (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. (j) 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. 5.2 Project Requirements for SUBRECIPIENTS-24 CFR 92.253 The SUBRECIPIENT is required to conform to the following requirements and regulations as stated below: 24 CFR 92.253 Tenant protections and selection.

Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to appeal,or to otherwise challenge in court,a court decision in connection with the lease. 8.Tenant chargeable with cost of legal actions regardless of outcome. Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney's fees or other legal costs even if the tenant wins in a court proceeding by the owner against the tenant. The tenant, however, may be obligated to pay costs if the tenant loses. 9.Mandatory supportive services.Agreement by the tenant(other than a tenant in transitional housing)to accept supportive services that are offered. (c) Termination of tenancy. An owner may not terminate the tenancy or refuse to renew the lease of a tenant of rental housing assisted with HOME funds,except for serious or repeated violation of the terms and conditions of the lease; for violation of applicable Federal, State, or local law;for completion of the tenancy period for transitional housing or failure to follow any required transitional housing supportive services plan; or for other good cause. Good cause does not include an increase in the tenant's income or refusal of the tenant to purchase the housing. To terminate or refuse to renew tenancy,the owner must serve written notice upon the tenant specifying the grounds for the action at least 30 days before the termination of tenancy. (d) Tenant selection.An owner of rental housing assisted with HOME funds must comply with the affirmative marketing requirements established by the participating jurisdiction pursuant to § 92.351(a). The owner must adopt and follow written tenant selection policies and criteria that: 1.Limit the housing to very low-income and low-income families;as evidenced by income verification documentation prior to occupancy and annually thereafter to be retained in the SUBRECIPIENT client file and validated by CHS at the interim and closeout monitoring.

(i) Any limitation or preference must not violate nondiscrimination requirements in § 92.350. A limitation or preference does not violate nondiscrimination requirements if the housing also receives funding from a Federal program that limits eligibility to a particular segment of the population (e.g., the Housing Opportunity for Persons with AIDS program under 24 CFR part 574,the Shelter Plus Care program under 24 CFR part 582,the Supportive Housing program under 24 CFR part 583, supportive housing for the elderly or persons with disabilities under 24 CFR part 891),and the limit or preference is tailored to serve that segment of the population. (ii) If a project does not receive funding from a Federal program that limits eligibility to a particular segment of the population, the project may have a limitation or preference for persons with disabilities who need services offered at a project only if: (A) The limitation or preference is limited to the population of families (including individuals) with disabilities that significantly interfere with their ability to obtain and maintain housing. (B) Such families will not be able to obtain or maintain themselves in housing without appropriate supportive services. (C) Such services cannot be provided in a nonsegregated setting. The families must not be required to accept the services offered at the project.In advertising the project,the owner may advertise the project as offering services for a particular type of disability; however, the project must be open to all otherwise eligible persons with disabilities who may benefit from the services provided in the project. 4. Do not exclude an applicant with a certificate or voucher under the Section 8 Tenant- Based Assistance:Housing Choice Voucher Program(24 CFR part 982)or an applicant participating in a HOME tenant-based rental assistance program because of the status of the prospective tenant as a holder of such certificate,voucher,or comparable HOME tenant-based assistance document. 5.Provide for the selection of tenants from a written waiting list in the chronological order of their application, insofar as is practicable. 6. Give prompt written notification to any rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection. 7. Comply with the VAWA requirements prescribed in § 92.359.
