$2,000,000.00 to $3,500,000.00.
On January 14, 2025, Agenda Item #16.D.8, the Board approved Amendment No. 2 to increase the amount of
reimbursement per housing unit to align with the most recently approved LHAP of July 23, 2024 and to change the set
aside requirements.The proposed Amendment No. 3 is to decrease the award amount by $125,000.00 from
$3,500,000.00 to $3,375,000.00. The reduction is at the request of the Sponsor. The Amendment also includes the

• Contact information under Section 2.2 Records and Documentation
• Purchasing Requirements under Section 3.10 Purchasing

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.
In order 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 Findings or Concerns being issued to the SPONSOR,
which will require a corrective action plan to 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 SPONSOR, as
needed, in order to correct the noncompliance issue.
B. If the SPONSOR fails to submit the corrective action plan in a timely manner, CHS may
require a po1iion of the awarded grant amount 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 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 its 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, be returned to the COUNTY.
• CHS may require upwards of IO percent of the award amount be returned to the

SHCON-23-001
SHIP New Construction Assistance
11
[23-SOC-01082]
Page 1232 of 3023
• CHS will make a recommendation to the Board to immediately terminate the
Agreement. The SPONSOR will be required to repay all funds disbursed by the
COUNTY for the project that was terminated. 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 the 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
required by this Agreement, and on 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
