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 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 Sponsors, Developers, or any entity receiving grant
funds from CHS. The escalation policy for noncompliance is as follows:
A. Initial noncompliance may result in the COUNTY issuing Findings or Concerns to the
SPONSOR, which requires SPONSOR to submit a corrective action plan to CHS within 10
business 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 SPONSOR, as
needed, to correct the noncompliance issue.
B. If SPONSOR fails to submit the corrective action plan in a timely manner, CHS may require
a portion of the awarded grant amount to be returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require SPONSOR to return upwards of 5 percent of the award amount to
the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SPONSOR may be denied future consideration as set forth in Resolution No.
2013-228
C. If SPONSOR remains noncompliant or repeats an issue that was previously corrected and
has been informed by CHS of their substantial noncompliance by certified mail, CHS may
require a portion of the awarded grant amount or the amount of the investment for acquisition
of the properties conveyed, to be returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require SPONSOR to return upwards of 10 percent of the award amount to
the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
D. If after repeated notification SPONSOR continues to be substantially noncompliant, CHS
may recommend the Agreement or award be terminated.
[Casa Amigos EHT,LLC.
SH-RD-22-002) 11
Casa Amigos
1 601
• CHS will make a recommendation to the Board to immediately terminate the
Agreement. SPONSOR will be required to repay all funds disbursed by the COUNTY
for the terminated project. This includes the amount invested by the COUNTY for the
initial acquisition of the properties or other activities.
• The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
If SPONSOR has multiple agreements with CHS and is found to be noncompliant,the above
sanctions may be imposed across all awards at the Board's discretion.
2.6 REPORTS
Reimbursement may be contingent upon the timely receipt of complete and accurate reports and
the resolution of monitoring findings identified pursuant to this Agreement, as deemed necessary
by the County Manager or designee.
During the term of this Agreement, SPONSOR shall submit quarterly progress reports to the
COUNTY on the 10th day of January,April,July,and October,respectively, for the prior quarter
period end. As part of the report submitted in October or when final services are delivered,

policy to ensure continued compliance by Sponsors, Developers, or any entity receiving grant
funds from CHS. The escalation policy for noncompliance is as follows:
A. Initial noncompliance may result in the COUNTY issuing Findings or Concerns to the
SPONSOR, which requires SPONSOR to submit a corrective action plan to CHS within 10
business 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 may require SPONSOR to return upwards of 5 percent of the award amount to
the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SPONSOR may be denied future consideration as set forth in Resolution No.
2013-228
C. If SPONSOR remains noncompliant or repeats an issue that was previously corrected and
has been informed by CHS of their substantial noncompliance by certified mail, CHS may
require a portion of the awarded grant amount or the amount of the investment for acquisition
of the properties conveyed, to be returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require SPONSOR to return upwards of 10 percent of the award amount to
the COUNTY, at the discretion of the Board.
• The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
D. If after repeated notification SPONSOR continues to be substantially noncompliant, CHS
may recommend the Agreement or award be terminated.
[Immokalee Fair Housing Alliance,Inc.
SH-RD-22-003) 11
2069 Corazon De La Comunidad Cir,Bldg.#7

Agreement. SPONSOR will be required to repay all funds disbursed by the COUNTY
for the terminated project. This includes the amount invested by the COUNTY for the
initial acquisition of the properties or other activities.
• The SPONSOR will be in violation of Resolution No. 2013-228
If SPONSOR has multiple agreements with CHS and is found to be noncompliant,the above
sanctions may be imposed across all awards at the Board's discretion.
2.6 REPORTS
Reimbursement may be contingent upon the timely receipt of complete and accurate reports and
the resolution of monitoring findings identified pursuant to this Agreement,as deemed necessary
by the County Manager or designee.
During the term of this Agreement, SPONSOR shall submit quarterly progress reports to the
COUNTY on the 10th day of January,April,July, and October,respectively,for the prior quarter
period end. As part of the report submitted in October or when final services are delivered,
