SPECL4L CONDITIONS
1. Requirements of the award;remedies for non-compliance or for materially false statements
The conditions of this award are material requirements of the award. Compliance with any certifications or assurances

requirement of this award.
Failure to comply with any one or more of these award requirements--whether a condition set out in full below,a
condition incorporated by reference below,or a certification or assurance related to conduct during the award period
may result in the Office of Justice Programs("OJP")taking appropriate action with respect to the recipient and the
award. Among other things,the OJP may withhold award funds,disallow costs,or suspend or terminate the award.
The Department of Justice("DOJ"),including OJP,also may take other legal action as apprQriate_
Any materially false,fictitious,or fraudulent statement to the federal government related to this award(or concealment
or omission of a material fact)may be the subject of criminal prosecution(including under 18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or 1621,
and/or 42 U.S.C.3795a),and also may lead to imposition of civil penalties and administrative remedies for false claims
or otherwise(including under 31 U.S.C.3729-3730 and 3801-3812).
Should any provision of a requirement of this award be held to be invalid or unenforceable by its terms,that provision
shall first be applied with a limited construction so as to give it the maximum effect permitted by law. Should it be
held,instead,that the provision is utterly invalid or-unenforceable,such provision shall be deemed severable from this
award.

supplements funds previously awarded by OJP under the same award number(e.g.,funds awarded during or before
December 2014),the Part 200 Uniform Requirements apply with respect to all funds under that award number
(regardless of the award date,and regardless of whether derived from the initial award or a supplemental award)that

For more information and resources on the Part 200 Uniform Requirements as they relate to OJP awards and subawards
("subgrants"),see the OJP website at https://ojp.gov/funding(Part200UnifonnRequirements.htm.
In the event that an award-related question arises from documents or other materials prepared or distributed by OJP

recipient is to contact OJP promptly for clarification.

Ms.Valerie Washington
City of Fort Worth
505 West Felix Street
Fort Worth,TX 76115-3405
Dear Ms.Washington:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs,Congress linked the receipt of federal funding to
compliance with federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights(OCR),Office of Justice Programs(OJP),U.S.Department of Justice
(DOJ)is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial assistance from the OJP,the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS),and the Office on Violence Against Women(OVW)comply with the applicable federal civil rights laws. We at the OCR are
available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with DOJ funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
Federal laws that apply to recipients of financial assistance from the DOJ prohibit discrimination on the basis of race,color,national origin,
religion,sex,or disability in funded programs or activities,not only in employment but also in the delivery of services or benefits. A federal
law also prohibits recipients from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or benefits.
In March of 2013,President Obama signed the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The statute amends the Violence
Against Women Act of 1994(VAWA)by including a nondiscrimination grant condition that prohibits discrimination based on actual or
perceived race,color,national origin,religion,sex,disability,sexual orientation,or gender identity. The new nondiscrimination grant
condition applies to certain programs funded after October 1,2013. The OCR and the OVW have developed answers to some frequently
asked questions about this provision to assist recipients of VAWA funds to understand their obligations. The Frequently Asked Questions
are available at http://ojp.gov/about/ocr/vawafaqs.htm.
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of federal financial assistance,regardless of the particular funding source,the amount of the grant award,or the number of
employees in the workforce,are subject to prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly,the OCR investigates recipients that
are the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition,based on regulatory criteria,the OCR selects a
number of recipients each year for compliance reviews,audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they are providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal opportunity standards.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency(LEP)Individuals
In accordance with DOJ guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C.§2000d,recipients of federal financial
assistance must take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited English
proficiency(LEP). See U.S.Department of Justice,Guidance to Federal Financial Assistance Recipients Regarding Title VI Prohibition
Against National Origin Discrimination Affecting Limited English Proficient Persons,67 Fed.Reg.41,455(2002). For more information
on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to LEP individuals,please see the website
http://www.lep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations
The DOJ regulation,Equal Treatment for Faith-Based Organizations,28 C.F.R.pt.38,requires State Administering Agencies(SAAB)to
treat faith-based organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits SAAs from making awards or grant
administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation,religious name,or the religious composition of its
board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith-based organizations from using financial assistance from the DOJ to fund inherently(or explicitly)
religious activities. While faith-based organizations can engage in non-funded inherently religious activities,they must hold them
separa}Ply-from-the-pcognan-funded-b -theDOJ,-and_recipients-cannotzompel-beneficiacies-to-participate-in-them.—The-Equal-Treatment
Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the DOJ are not permitted to discriminate in the
provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation,please see the OCR's website at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/equal_fbo.htm.
SAAB and faith-based organizations should also note that the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act(Safe Streets Act)of 1968,as
amended,42 U.S.C.§3789d(c);the Victims of Crime Act of 1984,as amended,42 U.S.C.§ 10604(e);the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency
Prevention Act of 1974,as amended,42 U.S.C.§5672(b);and VAWA,Pub.L.No.113-4,sec.3(b)(4),127 Stat.54,61-62(to be codified
at 42 U.S.C.§ 13925(b)(13))contain prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of religion in employment. Despite these
nondiscrimination provisions,the DOJ has concluded that it may construe the Religious Freedom Restoration Act(RFRA)on a case-by-
case basis to permit some faith-based organizations to receive DOJ funds while taking into account religion when hiring staff,even if the
statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids recipients from considering religion in employment decisions.
Please consult with the OCR if you have any questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit
discrimination in employment.
Using Arrest and Conviction Records in Making Employment Decisions
The OCR issued an advisory document for recipients on the proper use of arrest and conviction records in making hiring decisions. See
Advisory for Recipients of Financial Assistance from the U.S.Department of Justice on the U.S.Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission's Enforcement Guidance:Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964(June 2013),available at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov//about/ocr/pdfs/JseofConvicfon_Advisory.pdf. Recipients
should be mindful that the misuse of arrest or conviction records to screen either applicants for employment or employees for retention or
promotion may have a disparate impact based on race or national origin,resulting in unlawful employment discrimination. In light of the
Advisory,recipients should consult local counsel in reviewing their employment practices. If warranted,recipients should also incorporate
an analysis of the use of arrest and conviction records in their Equal Employment Opportunity Plans(EEOPs)(see below).
Complying with the Safe Streets Act
An organization that is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination provisions of the Safe Streets Act,must meet two
obligations:(1)complying with the federal regulation pertaining to the development of an EEOP(see 28 C.F.R.pt.42,subpt.E)and(2)
submitting to the OCR findings of discrimination(see 28 C.F.R.§§42.204(c),.205(c)(5)).
Meeting the EEOP Requirement
If your organization has less than fifty employees or receives an award of less than$25,000 or is a nonprofit organization,a medical
institution,an educational institution,or an Indian tribe,then it is exempt from the EEOP requirement. To claim the exemption,your
organization must complete and submit Section A of the Certification Form,which is available online at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and receives an award of$25,000 or more,but less than$500,000,and has
fifty or more employees(counting both full-and part-time employees but excluding political appointees),then it has to prepare a
Utilization Report(formerly called an EEOP Short Form),but it does not have to submit the report to the OCR for review. Instead,your
organization has to maintain the Utilization Report on file and make it available for review on request. In addition,your organization has to
complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to the OCR. The Certification Form is available at
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/pdfs/cert.pdf.
If your organization is a government agency or private business and has received an award for$500,000 or more and has fifty or more
employees(counting both full-and part-time employees but excluding political appointees),then it has to prepare a Utilization Report
(formerly called an EEOP Short Form)and submit it to the OCR for review within sixty days from the date of this letter. For assistance in
developing a Utilization Report,please consult the OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/about/ocr/eeop.htm. In addition,your

To comply with the EEOP requirements,you may request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at the OCR by telephone at(202)
307-0690,by TTY at(202)307-2027,or by e-mail at EEOsubmisson@usdoj.gov.
Meeting the Requirement to Submit Findings of Discrimination
If in the three years prior to the date of the grant award,your organization has received an adverse finding of discrimination based on race,
color,national origin,religion,or sex,after a due-process hearing,from a state or federal court or from a state or federal administrative
agency,your organization must send a copy of the finding to the OCR.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
SARs must have standard assurances to notify subrecipients of their civil rights obligations,written procedures to address discrimination
complaints filed against subrecipients,methods to monitor subrecipients'compliance with civil rights requirements,and a program to train
subrecipients on applicable civil rights laws. In addition,SAAB must submit to the OCR every three years written Methods of
Administration(MOA)that summarize the policies and procedures that they have implemented to ensure the civil rights compliance of
subrecipients. For more information on the MOA requirement,see http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/funding/other_requirements.htm.
If the OCR can assist you in any way in fulfilling your organization's civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of federal financial
assistance,please contact us.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS
State or Local Government: FY 2017 Certification of Compliance with 8 U.S.C. § 1373
On behalf of the applicant government entity named below,and in support of its application, I certify under penalty of perjury to
the Office of Justice Programs(`OJP"), U.S. Department of Justice("USDOJ"),that all of the following are true and correct:
(1) 1 am the chief legal officer of the State or local government of which the applicant entity named below is a part("the
jurisdiction"),and I have the authority to make this certification on behalf of the jurisdiction and the applicant entity(that
is,the entity applying directly to OJP). I understand that OJP will rely upon this certification as a material
representation in any decision to make an award to the applicant entity.
(2) 1 have carefully reviewed 8 U.S.C.§ 1373(a)and(b),including the prohibitions on certain actions by State and local
government entities,-agencies,and-officials regarding information on citizenship and immigration status. I also have
reviewed the provisions set out at(or referenced in)8 U.S.C_§1551 note("Abolition... and Transfer of Functions"),
pursuant to which references to the"Immigration and Naturalization Service"in 8 U.S.C.§1373 are to be read,as a
legal matter,as references to particular components of the U.S.Department of Homeland Security.
(3)1(and also the applicant entity)understand that the U.S.Department of Justice will require States and local
governments(and agencies or other entities thereof)to comply with 8 U.S.C.§1373,with respect to any"program or
activity"funded in whole or in part with the federal financial assistance provided through the FY 2017 OJP program
under which this certification is being submitted("the FY 2017 OJP Program"identified below),specifically including
any such"program or activity"of a governmental entity or-agency that is a subrecipient(at any tier)of funds under the
FY 2017 OJP Program.
(4)1(and also the applicant entity)understand that,for purposes of this cerlification,"program or activity'means what it
means under title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964(see 42 U.S.C.§2000d-4a),and that terms used in this certification
that are defined in 8 U.S.C.§1101 mean what they mean under that section 1101,except that the term'State"also
shall include American Samoa(cf.42 U.S.C.§901(a)(2)). Also, I understand that, for purposes of this certification,
neither a"public"institution of higher education(i.e.,one that is owned,controlled,or directly funded by a State or local
government)nor an Indian tribe is considered a State or local government entity or-agency.
(5) 1 have conducted(or caused to be conducted for me)a diligent inquiry and review concerning both—
(a) the"program or activity"to be funded(in whole or in part)with the federal financial assistance sought
by the applicant entity under this FY 2017 OJP Program;and
(b) any prohibitions or restrictions potentially applicable to the"program or activity'sought to be funded
under the FY 2017 OJP Program that deal with sending to,requesting or receiving from,maintaining,
or exchanging information of the types described in 8 U.S.C.§ 1373(a)or(b),whether imposed by a
State or local government entity,-agency,or-official.
(6) As of the date of this certification,neither the jurisdiction nor any entity,agency,or official of the
jurisdiction has in effect,purports to have in effect, or is subject to or bound by,any prohibition or any
restriction that would apply to the"program or activity"to be funded in whole or in part under the FY 2017 OJP
Program(which,for the specific purpose of this paragraph 6,shall not be understood to include any such
"program or activity"of any subrecipient at any tier),and that deals with either—(1)a government entity
or-official sending or receiving information regarding citizenship or immigration status as described in 8
U.S.C.§1373(a);or(2)a government entity or-agency sending to, requesting or receiving from,maintaining,
or exchanging information of the types(and with respect to the entities)described in 8 U.S.C.§1373(b).
I acknowledge that a materially false,fictitious, or fraudulent statement(or concealment or omission of a material fact)in this
certification,or in the application that it supports,may be the subject of criminal prosecution (including under 18 U.S.C.§§1001
and/or 1621, and/or 42 U.S.C.§3795a), and also may subject me and the applicant entity to civil penalties and administrative
remedies for false claims or otherwise(including under 31 U.S.C. §§3729-3730 and§§3801-3812). 1 also acknowledge that
OJP awards, including certifications provided in connection with such awards,are subject to review by USDOJ,including by
OJP and by the USDOJ Office of the Inspector General.
