This Agreement will be governed by the following, as they from time to time maybe amended: the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act, 42 USC 12901 et sec . (Act), the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) program regulations, 24 CFR Part 574, and the Consolidated Plan regulations, 24 CFR Part 91 (the Regulations), all of which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. The term "Grant" or "Grant Funds" means the funds provided under this Agreement. The term "Application" means the application submissions on the basis of which a Grant was approved by HUD under 24 CFR Part 91, as applicable to the HOPWA elements of the Consolidated Plan, including the certifications and assurances and any information or documentation required to meet any grant award conditions. The Application is incorporated as part of this Agreement; however, in the event of conflict between a provision of the Application and a provision of this Agreement, the latter shall control. "Project Sponsor" means any nonprofit organization or governmental housing agency that receives funds from the Grantee to carry out eligible activities identified in the Application. In reliance upon the Application, HUD agrees, upon execution of this Grant Agreement, to provide Grant Funds to the Grantee in the amount of $950,848. Grantee agrees to and will ensure that each Project Sponsor agrees to: (1) Operate the program in accordance with the requirements of the applicable HUD regulations in undertaking activities that will meet urgent needs that are not being met by available public and private resources; Establish housing output measures in the approved Consolidated Plan for this grant with specific one year goals for the number of households to be provided housing through the use of HOPWA activities for: short-term rent, mortgage, and utility OFFICIAL RECORD CITY SECRETARY FT. WORTH, TX assistance payments to prevent homelessness of the individual or family; tenant -based rental assistance, and units provided in housing facilities that are being developed, leased or operated with HOPWA funds, as established by 91.220(1)(3) for local governments and 91.320(k)(4) for states. The plan would include the grant funds and program income expected to be made available with other resources to be leveraged as a commitment for an expected level of housing output results to be achieved during each of the operating years under this award, and operate the program consistent with that commitment; (2) Conduct an ongoing assessment of the housing assistance and supportive services required by the participants in the program (as shown in an Individual Housing & Service Plan), including an annual assessment of their housing situation, an appropriate determination of rental subsidies or other support, and a report on the annual results of program activities under the HOPWA client outcome goals of achieving stable housing, reducing risks of homelessness and improving access to healthcare and other support for beneficiaries; (3) Assure the adequate provision of supportive services to the participants in the program, including support to access health-care, HIV treatment and benefits or other support available under mainstream health and human welfare programs and other public and private resources, as needed. When using HOPWA funds for healthcare costs, grantees must adhere to the following HOPWA regulations found at 24 CFR 574.310(a)(2): (2) Payments. The grantee shall ensure that grant funds will not be used to make payments for health services for any item or service to the extent that payment has been made, or can reasonably be expected to be made with respect to that item or service: (i) Under any State compensation program, under an insurance policy, or under any Federal or State health benefits program; or (ii) By an entity that provides health services on a prepaid basis. Consistent with this requirement, grantee use of HOPWA funds for healthcare costs such as HIV/AIDS medications must be done so as a last resort. The client's file must provide detailed documentation of all attempts made to secure such payments for health care, including medications. The documentation of these attempts should provide the name and title of all parties involved in the request to secure payments for health care from each organization and the reason the request was denied, including appeals of initial denials. In addition, grantees must document that the use of HOPWA resources for health care costs is done so in coordination with the client's individual housing and service plan. The individual housing and service plan must include the plan, (complete with timelines and benchmarks), for transitioning the clients' health care costs to mainstream health care resources. For example, in accessing other related federal health care programs, it is expected that the use of HOPWA funds for AIDS Drugs Assistance Plan (ADAP) purposes would be minimal and under extreme circumstances as most ADAP providers have policies in place that allow for a transitioning period and cover gaps in AIDS medication coverage, and project sponsors may also access uncompensated care support from private care sources. (4) Comply with such other terms and conditions, including record keeping and reports (which must include racial and ethnic data on participants, annual housing outputs and client housing outcomes) for program monitoring and evaluation purposes, as HUD may establish for purposes of carrying out the program in an effective and efficient manner. For the purposes of providing transparency in the award and use of federal funds, HOPWA grantees agree to take the following actions with respect to agreements with project sponsors and in contract or agreement conditions for receipt of funds by other subrecipients. (5) Provide housing support to HOPWA eligible persons over the operating period of this grant consistent with the General Standards for Eligible Housing Activities, found at 24 CFR 574.310, including limitations on such payments; (6) Agree to maintain documentation of beneficiary and activity eligibility, including related documentation that evidences compliance with agreements noted above, (7) Agree that any program income resulting under this grant be added to the funds committed to the project or other HOPWA program activities under this agreement, to be used to further eligible project or program objectives; (8) Agree that if funds under this grant are used for new construction, substantial rehabilitation or acquisition of a structure, the use of such property will be undertaken consistent with the required minimum use period found at 24 CFR 574.310, and the Declaration of Restrictive Covenant. The restrictive covenant, which will run for the minimum use period, must be recorded on such property in a manner that is consistent with applicable state and local laws; Default: A default shall consist of any use of Grant Funds for a purpose other than as authorized by this Agreement, noncompliance with the Act or Regulations, any material breach of the Agreement, failure to expend Grant Funds in a timely manner (as required by 24 CFR 574.540, within a three-year period from the date of the signing of the grant agreement), or misrepresentations in the Application submission which, if known by HUD, would have resulted in a grant not being provided. Upon due notice to the Grantee of the occurrence of any such default and the provision of a reasonable opportunity to respond, HUD may take one or more of the following actions: (a) Direct the Grantee to submit progress schedules for completing approved activities; (b) Issue a letter of warning advising the Grantee of the default, establishing a date by which corrective actions must be completed and putting the Grantee on notice that more serious actions will be taken if the default is not corrected or is repeated; (c) Direct the Grantee to suspend, discontinue or not incur costs for the affected activity; (d) Reduce or recapture the grant; (e) Direct the Grantee to reimburse the program accounts for costs inappropriately charged to the program; or (f) other appropriate action including, but not limited to, any remedial action legally available, such as affirmative litigation seeking declaratory judgment, specific performance, damages, temporary or permanent injunctions and any other available remedies. No delay or omissions by HLTD in exercising any right or remedy available to it under the Agreement shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver or acquiescence in any Grantee default.

The program year for the City of Fort Worth begins June 1, 2010. Pro Amount CDBG $7,331,207 ESG 296,227 HOME 31201,937 HOPWA 950,848 Enclosed are Grant Agreement and Funding Approval forms for each program, which constitute the contracts between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of Fort Worth. Please execute and return two copies of each program's grant agreement to this office. Once HUD receives the executed grant agreements, you will need to create the 2010 proposed projects in IDIS before setting up activities. 0&-04-1 0 A10:50 I N You are reminded that certain activities under the CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG programs are subject to the provisions of 24 CFR Part 58 (environmental review procedures). Funds for such activities may not be obligated or expended unless the release of funds has been approved in writing by HUD. A Request for Release of Funds (RROF) must be accompanied by an environmental certification. Appropriate forms are available from www.hudclips.org. However, please review the environmental regulations and HUD guidance to ensure that an RROF is submitted for only those projects that require one. You are also reminded that the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) for the CDBG, HOME, ESG, and HOPWA programs, and any additional information required, for the 2009 consolidated program year is due in this office no later than August 30, 2010, 90 days after the end of your 2009 program year. Please note the following requirements under the different program captions that must be adhered to: CDBG Failure to return the executed grant agreements within 60 days maybe deemed to constitute rejection of the grant and cause for HUD to determine that funds are available for reallocation to other grantees. The special condition in your grant agreement concerning the review procedures under Executive Order (EO) 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs, and HUD's implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 52 restricts the obligation or expenditure of funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities until the completion of the review process and receipt of written notification of release of funds from HUD. Since you have not submitted your Consolidated Action Plan for review under EO 12372, we assume you do not propose to use funds for activities subject to review. However, the condition requires that in the event you amend or otherwise revise your Consolidated Action Plan to use funds for the planning or construction of water or sewer facilities, you must receive written release of funds from HUD before obligating or expending funds for such activities. ESG A critical deadline is set forth in the ESG program regulations. Section 576.35(b) requires that all of your ESG grant amount be expended within 24 months of the date of this letter. Any grant amounts that are not obligated and expended by this date may be recovered and reallocated for use in accordance with 576.45 of the regulations. I am sure that you will make every effort to obligate and expend all of your funds within this period. Recipients of ESG funds are expected to participate in a local continuum of care's homeless management information system (HMIS) to ensure the program meets the Congressional goal that localities collect an array of unduplicated data on the number and that you will make every effort to obligate and expend all of your funds within this period. Recipients of ESG funds are expected to participate in a local continuum of cares homeless management information system (HMIS) to ensure the program meets the Congressional goal that localities collect an array of unduplicated data on the number and characteristics of homeless persons. HUD's standards for participation in a local HMIS and the collection and reporting of client -level information by homeless providers were published in the Federal Register on July 30, 2004 as modified by the March 16, 2007 Federal Register Notice on the Violence Against Women Act. ESG funds may be used to fund the implementation of an HMIS. HMIS implementation costs may be considered an eligible activity as an essential service, operation, or administration expense; however, ESG funds may not be used for planning costs. Since the costs of implementing an HMIS are also eligible for funding under the Supportive Housing Program (SHP), you must take steps to ensure that any ESG funds provided for HMIS are not duplicating funding from SHP. HOME As you know, the HOME program statute provides that funds are available to participating jurisdictions (PJs) for 24 months after the last day of the month in which HUD notifies the PJ of HUD's execution of the HOME Investment Partnerships Agreement. If not placed under a binding commitment to affordable housing within the 24-month period, the funds are to be deobligated. The statute also provides that at least 15 percent of each PJ's allocation must be reserved for investment in housing to be developed, sponsored, or owned by community housing development organizations (CHDOs). The definition of commitment for the HOME program includes not only funds committed to specific projects that have been set up in IDIS but also the following: ■ Any funds for which a PJ has entered into a binding legal agreement with a State recipient, a aubrecipient or a contractor to use a specific amount of HOME funds to produce affordable housing or provide tenant -based rental assistance. ■ Any funds for which a PJ has entered into a written agreement reserving a specific amount of funds to a community housing development organization (CHDO). HOPWA HOPWA funds are made available fora 36-month period, as described by the program regulations at 24 CFR 574.540. Any grant funds not expended within three years from grant award may be deobligated and reallocated as described at 574.190 of the regulations. If you provide housing assistance in jurisdictions other than your own, you must obtain certifications that the proposed housing activities are consistent with the Consolidated Plan for each of these jurisdictions, except for rent, mortgage, and utility payments or tenant -based rental assistance (see 574.120). The certification(s) must be kept on file — you should not submit them to HUD. The HOPWA annual report, HUD-40100, to be used for the 2008 CAPER, In with guidance on preparing the report, is available on the www.hudhre.info website. If you have any questions concerning this grant notification and the procedures set forth in this letter, please contact Kristin Hadawi, Senior Community Planning and Development Representative, at (817) 978.5959. For questions pertaining to the HOME Program, contact Melodee Humbert, Senior Affordable Housing Specialist, at (817) 978-5960. Sincerely, Katie S. Worsham Director Enclosures cc: T. M.
