Applicable Federal Regulations
The Provider must apply to all applicable federal regulations including:
1. Non-Discrimination and Equal Access
No person in the United States shall on the grounds of race, color, national origin, religion or sex be
excluded, denied benefits or subjected to discrimination under any program funded in whole or in part
by HOME funds. The Provider must take measures to ensure non-discriminatory treatment, outreach
and access to program resources. This applies to employment and contracting, as well as to marketing
and selection of program participants.
Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity
The Provider must comply with all the following Federal laws, executive orders and regulations
pertaining to fair housing and equal opportunity. They are summarized below:
• Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, As Amended (42 USC 2000d et seq.): States that no
person may be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance on the basis
of race, color or national origin. The regulations implementing the Title VI Civil Rights Act
provisions for HUD programs may be found in 24 CFR Part 1.
• The Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601-3620): Prohibits discrimination in the sale or rental of
housing, the financing of housing or the provision of brokerage services against any person on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status. Fair Housing
Act implementing regulations may be found in 24 CFR Part 100-115.
• Equal Opportunity in Housing (Executive Order 11063, as amended by Executive Order 12259):
Prohibits discrimination against individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national
origin in the sale, rental, leasing or other disposition of residential property, or in the use or
occupancy of housing assisted with Federal funds. Equal Opportunity in Housing regulations
may be found in 24 CFR Part 107.
• Age Discrimination Act of 1975, As Amended (42 USC 6101): Prohibits age discrimination in
programs receiving Federal financial assistance. Age Discrimination Act regulations may be
found in 24 CFR Part 146.
• Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974: Requires that no
person shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefits of, or be subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity funded with HOME funds on the basis of race,
color, religion, national origin or sex.
Handicapped Accessibility
The HOME regulations also require adherence to the three following regulations governing the
accessibility of Federally assisted buildings, facilities and programs.
• Americans with Disabilities Act (42 USC 12131; 47 USC 155, 201, 218 and 225): Provides
comprehensive civil rights to individuals with disabilities in the areas of employment, public
accommodations, state and local government services and telecommunications. The Act, also
referred to as the ADA, also states that discrimination includes the failure to design and
construct facilities (built for first occupancy after January 26, 1993) that are accessible to and
usable by persons with disabilities. The ADA also requires the removal of architectural and
communication barriers that are structural in nature in existing facilities. Removal must be
readily achievable, easily accomplishable and able to be carried out without much difficulty or
expense.
• Fair Housing Act: Multi-family dwellings must also meet the design and construction
requirements at 24 CFR 100.205, which implement the Fair Housing Act (42 USC 3601-19)
• Section 504: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination in federally
assisted programs on the basis of handicap. Section 504 imposes requirements to ensure that
"qualified individuals with handicaps" have access to programs and activities that receive
Federal funds. Under Section 504, recipients and Providers are not required to take actions that
create unique financial and administrative burdens or after the fundamental nature of the
program. For any Provider principally involved in housing or social services, all of the activities
of the agency -- not only those directly receiving Federal assistance -- are covered under
Section 504. Contractors or vendors are subject to Section 504 requirements only in the work
they do on behalf of the Provider or HCS. The ultimate beneficiary of the Federal assistance is
not subject to Section 504 requirements.
• The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (42 USC 4151-4157): Requires certain Federal and
Federally-funded buildings and other facilities to be designed, constructed or altered in
accordance with standards that ensure accessibility to, and use by, physically handicapped
people.
ll. Employment and Contracting
The Provider must enforce compliance with the regulations below governing employment and
contracting opportunities. These concern equal opportunity, labor requirements and
contracting/procurement procedures.
Equal Opportunity
The Provider must ensure compliance with the following regulations that ensure equal opportunity for
employment and contracting:
• Equal Employment Opportunity, Executive Order 11246, as amended: Prohibits discrimination
against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or
national origin. Provisions to effectuate this prohibition must be included in all construction
contracts exceeding $10,000. Implementing regulations may be found at 41 CFR Part 60.
• Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968: Requires that, to the greatest
extent feasible, opportunities for training and employment arising from HOME funds will be
provided to low-income persons residing in the program service area. Also, to the greatest
extent feasible, contracts for work (all types) to be performed in connection with CDBG will be
awarded to business concerns that are located in or owned by persons residing in the program
service area.
• Minority/Women's Business Enterprise: Under Executive Orders 11625, 12432 and 12138, HCS
and the Provider must prescribe procedures acceptable to HUD for a minority outreach program
to ensure the inclusion, to the maximum extent possible, of minorities and women, and entities
owned by minorities and women, in all contracts (see 24 CFR 85.36(e)).
Labor Requirements
The Provider must ensure compliance with certain regulations on wage and labor standards. In the
case of Davis-Bacon and the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Acts, every contract for
construction (in the case of residential construction, projects with eight or more units) triggers the
requirements.
• Davis-Bacon and Related Acts (40 USC 276(A)-7): Ensures that mechanics and laborers
employed in construction work under Federally-assisted contracts are paid wages and fringe
benefits equal to those that prevail in the locality where the work is performed. This act also
provides for the withholding of funds to ensure compliance, and excludes from the wage
requirements apprentices enrolled in bona fide apprenticeship programs.
• Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act, as amended (40 USC 327-333): Provides that
mechanics and laborers employed on Federally-assisted construction jobs are paid time and
one-half for work in excess of 40 hours per week, and provides for the payment of liquidated
damages where violations occur. This act also addresses safe and healthy working conditions.
• Copeland (Anti-Kickback) Act (40 USC 276c): Governs the deductions from paychecks that are
allowable. Makes it a criminal offense to induce anyone employed on a Federally assisted
project to relinquish any compensation to which he/she is entitled, and requires all contractors to
submit weekly payrolls and statements of compliance.
• Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, As Amended (29 USC 201, et. seq.): Establishes the basic
minimum wage for all work and requires the payment of overtime at the rate of at least time and
one-half. It also requires the payment of wages for the entire time that an employee is required
or permitted to work, and establishes child labor standards.
Contracting and Procurement Practices
The HOME program is subject to certain Federal procurement rules. In addition, HCS and the Provider
must take measures to avoid hiring debarred or suspended contractors or Providers and conflict-of-
interest situations. Each is briefly discussed below.
• Procurement: For the City, the procurement standards of 24 CFR 85.36 apply. For non-profit
organizations receiving HOME funds, the procurement requirements at 24 CFR Part 84 apply.
• Conflict of Interest: The HOME regulations require grantees (the City), state recipients and
Providers (the Provider) to comply with two different sets of conflict-of-interest provisions. The
first set of provisions comes from 24 CFR Parts 84 and 85. The second, which applies only in
cases not covered by 24 CFR Parts 84 and 85, is set forth in the HOME regulations. Both sets
of requirements are discussed below.
- The provisions at 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42 apply in the procurement of property and
services by grantees (the City), state recipients, and Providers (the Provider). These
regulations require HCS and the Provider to maintain written standards governing the
performance of their employees engaged in awarding and administering contracts. At a
minimum, these standards must:
- Require that no employee, officer, agent of the City or the Provider shall participate in the
selection, award or administration of a contract supported by HOME if a conflict-of-interest,
either real or apparent, would be involved;
- Require that employees, officers and agents of the City or the Provider not accept gratuities,
favors or anything of monetary value from contractors, potential contractors or parties to
Sub-Agreements; and
- Stipulate provisions for penalties, sanctions or other disciplinary actions for violations of
standards.
A conflict would arise when any of the following has a financial or other interest in a firm selected for an
award:
- An employee, agent or officer of HCS or the Provider;
- Any member of an employee's, agent's or officer's immediate family;
- An employee's, agent's or officer's partner; or
- An organization that employs or is about to employ an employee, agent or officer of HCS or
the Provider.
- The HOME regulations at 24 CFR 92.356 governing conflict-of-interest apply in cases not
covered by 24 CFR 85.36 and 24 CFR 84.42. These provisions cover employees, agents,
consultants, officers and elected or appointed officials of the grantee (the City), state
recipient or subrecipient (the Provider). The regulations state that no person covered who
exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to HOME activities
or who is in a position to participate in decisions or gain inside information:
- May obtain a financial interest or benefit from a HOME activity; or
- Have an interest in any contract, subcontract or agreement for themselves or for persons
with business or family ties.
This requirement applies to covered persons during their tenure and for one year after leaving the
grantee (the City), the state recipient or Provider(the Provider) entity.
Upon written request, exceptions to both sets of provisions may be granted by HUD on a case-by-case
only after the City has:
- Disclosed the full nature of the conflict and submitted proof that the disclosure has been
made public; and
- Provided a legal opinion from the City stating that there would be no violation of state or
local law if the exception were granted.
• Debarred contractors: In accordance with 24 CFR Part 5, HOME funds may not be used to
directly or indirectly employ, award contracts to or otherwise engage the services of any
contractor or Provider during any period of debarment, suspension or placement of ineligibility
status. The City should check all contractors, subcontractors, lower-tier contractors or Providers
against the Federal publication that lists debarred, suspended and ineligible contractors.
III. Environmental Requirements
HCS is responsible for meeting a number of environmental requirements, including environmental
reviews, flood insurance, and site and neighborhood standards.
Environmental Review
HCS is responsible for undertaking environmental reviews in accordance with the requirements
imposed on "recipients" in 24 CFR 58. Reviews must be completed, and Requests for Release of
Funds (RROF) submitted to HUD before HOME funds are committed for non-exempt activities. Private
citizens and organizations may object to the release of funds for HOME projects on certain procedural
grounds relating to environmental review (see 24 CFR 58.70 - 58.77). To avoid challenges, grantees
(the City) and Providers (the Provider) should be diligent about meeting procedural requirements.
Flood Insurance
Section 202 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (42 USC 4106): Requires that CDBG funds
shall not be provided to an area that has been identified by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) as having special flood hazard, unless: The community is participating in the National
Flood Insurance Program, or it has been less than a year since the community was designated as
having special flood hazards; and flood insurance is obtained.
IV. Lead-based Paint
On September 15, 1999, the "Requirements for Notification, Evaluation and Reduction of Lead-Based
Paint Hazards in Federally Owned Residential Property and Housing Receiving Federal Assistance;
Final Rule" was published within title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations as part 35 (24 CFR 35).
The regulation was issued under sections 1012 and 1013 of the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act of 1992, which is Title X (ten) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.
Sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X amended the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971,
which is the basic law covering lead-based paint in federally associated housing.
The regulation sets hazard reduction requirements that give much greater emphasis to reducing lead in
house dust. Scientific research has found that exposure to lead in dust is the most common way young
children become lead poisoned. Therefore, the new regulation requires dust testing after paint is
disturbed to make sure the home is lead-safe. Specific requirements depend on whether the housing is
being disposed of or assisted by the federal government, and also on the type and amount of financial
assistance, the age of the structure, and whether the dwelling is rental or owner occupied.
On April 22, 2008, the EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions
aimed at preventing lead poisoning to protect against the hazards created by exposure to lead dust in
existing structures built prior to 1978. Under the rule, all contractors performing renovation, repair and
painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before
1978 must be certified and follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. This rule (40
CFR Part 745) is enforced as of April 22, 2010. The rule must be executed by all sub-contractors.
Property Exempt from Lead-based paint regulation:
• Housing built since January 1, 1978, when lead paint was banned for residential use;
• Housing exclusively for the elderly or people with disabilities, unless a child under age 6 is
expected to reside there;
• Zero-bedroom dwellings, including efficiency apartments, single-room occupancy housing,
dormitories or military barracks;
• Property that has been found to be free of lead-based paint by a certified lead-based paint
inspector;
• Property where all lead-based paint has been removed;
• Unoccupied housing that will remain vacant until demolished;
• Non-Residential property; and
• Any rehabilitation or housing improvement that does not disturb a painted surface.
Types of housing subject to 24 CFR 35:
• Federally-Owned housing being sold;
• Housing receiving a federal subsidy that is associated with the property, rather than with the
occupants (project-based assistance);
• Public housing;
• Housing occupied by a family (with a child) receiving tenant-based subsidy (such as a voucher
or certificate);
• Multifamily housing for which mortgage insurance is being sought; and
• Housing receiving federal assistance for rehabilitation, reducing homelessness, and other
special needs.
If you want copies of the regulation or have general questions, you can call the National Lead
Information Center at (800) 424-LEAD, or TDD (800) 526-5456 for the hearing impaired. You can also
download the regulation and other educational materials at http://www.hud.qov/offices/lead/index.cfm.
For further information, you may call HUD at (202) 755-1785, ext. 104, or e-mail HUD at
lead requlations(@hud.gov.
V. Displacement, Relocation, Acquisition and Replacement of Housing
HOME projects involving acquisition, rehabilitation or demolition may be subject to the provisions of the
Uniform Relocation Act (UDA). Demolition or conversion of units with HOME funds may trigger section
104 (d) (also known as the "Barney Frank Amendment" requirements.)
VI. Compliance with National Objective
The purpose of this agreement is to secure that HOME funds from the City of Miami Beach comply with
the primary National Objective, "Benefit to Low and Moderate Income Persons" and will provide
services or activities that benefit at least 51% low and moderate income persons. A low or moderate-
income household is defined as: a household having an income equal to or less than the limits cited
below. Individuals who are unrelated but are sharing the same household shall each be considered as
one-person households.

Change Orders/Budget Amendments
The goal should be to limit the use of Change Orders or Budget Amendments. Change Orders and
Budget Amendments require prior written approval by the City Manager.
To request a Change Order or Budget Amendment, a written request for changes must be submitted to
your Grant Monitor delineating the changes and providing a detailed justification for making the request.
Approvals of any changes are at the sole discretion of the City Manager.
No budget amendment will be processed after June 30, 2015 for Public Service Projects. No budget
amendment will be processed for Capital Projects Budgets after eighty (80) percent of the available
funds have been drawn.
Budget amendments or Change Orders that deviate from the original scope will be rejected and the
funds in question may be subject to recapture at the sole discretion of the City Manager.
Compliance with Local Rules, Regulations, Ordinances and Laws
The Provider must ensure compliance with all local rules, regulations, ordinances and laws (including
having an active business license) in addition to those specified in the body of the Agreement. In
addition, the Provider must ensure that any sub-recipients do not owe any monies to the City at the
time of Agreement (Purchase Order) execution or final release of grant funds.
The City will verify with the Finance Department to ensure that no monies are due the City prior to
(Purchase Order)Agreement execution.

• Necessary back-up back-u materials are included (evidence of expense incurred, invoices, time logs,
executed AIA Forms, etc.)
• Reports bear the signature of the person preparing the report and the Provider's authorized
signatory
Monthly Progress Reports should encapsulate a project's progress in alignment with the funds
expended.
Retainage
All capital projects utilizing HUD funds are subject to a ten percent (10%) retainage until 50 percent
completion, and thereafter the retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%). Partial releases would
be allowed pursuant Section 255.078, Florida Statutes. Final Release of Retainage will be approved
once HCS receives Certificate of Completion along with all Closeout Documents, including final
releases of liens from Sub-contractor(s). Retainage will be held as appropriate from all submitted
reimbursement requests.
Subsidy Layering Review
All affordable housing projects using CDBG/HOME funds require the completion of an independent
Subsidy Layering Review and underwriting. These reviews must be completed prior to the project being
submitted via HUD's IDIS system and precedes the incurrence of any related funds. Therefore, no
capital projects will be deemed eligible for reimbursement until the Subsidy Layering Review and
underwriting have been received and accepted by HCS.
The expense for the Subsidy Layering Review and underwriting services are eligible for reimbursement
if the project proceeds but is not eligible for reimbursement otherwise.
Timeliness of Reimbursement Requests
Reimbursement requests must be submitted no later than sixty (60) days from the incurrence of the
expense. HCS will strictly monitor this element. Please note that cancelled checks must be submitted in
_conjunction with all reimbursement requests. Therefore, the Provider should calendar itself accordingly
to ensure that reimbursement requests are submitted to HCS in a timely manner.
Furthermore, at least sixty(60) percent of your allotted grant funds must be expended by June 30, 2016
as demonstrated by the total value of reimbursements processed. Capital Projects will be reviewed and
judged based on their implementation schedule.
Training Requirements
The Provider must ensure that the person responsible for preparing the Monthly Progress Report, the
Monthly Funding Allocation Report and Monthly Financial Report attends HCS's Provider Reporting

"Financial Management"
To comply with federal regulations, each program must have a financial management system that
provides accurate, current and complete disclosure of the financial status of the activity. This means
the financial system must be capable of generating regular financial status reports which indicate the
dollar amount allocated for each activity (including any budget revisions), amount obligated (i.e., for
which contract exists), and the amount expended for each activity. The system must permit the
comparison of actual expenditures and revenues against budgeted amounts. HCS must be able to
isolate and to trace every HOME dollar received and prove where it went and for what it was used.
HCS is responsible for reviewing and certifying the financial management of any operating agency,
which is not a City department or bureau, in order to determine whether or not it meets all of the above
requirements. If the agency's system does not meet these requirements and modifications are not
possible, HCS must administer the HOME funds for the operating agency.
Support for Expenditures
Sufficient support for expenses depends on the type of expenditure. They normally include the
following items:
• Salaries - Should be supported by proper documentation in personnel files of hire date, position,
duties, compensation, and raises with effective date, termination date, and similar type information.
Non-exempt employees are required by law to complete a timesheet showing number of hours they
worked during the day. All employees paid in whole or in part from HOME funds should prepare a
time sheet indicating the hours worked on HOME projects for each pay period. Based on these
time sheets and the hourly payroll costs for each employee, a voucher statement indicating the
distribution of payroll charges should be prepared and placed in the appropriate files.)
• Employee Benefits - Should be supported by personnel policies and procedures manual,
describing the types of benefits, eligibility and other relevant information.)
• Professional Services - Should be supported by a complete and signed copy of the contract
between the organization and the independent contractor, describing at the minimum, period of
service, type of service and method for payments, in addition to the invoice from the private
contractor.)
• Purchases - At a minimum, purchases should be supported by a purchase order, packing list and
vendor invoice. Credit card statements, travel itineraries, vendor statements and similar items do
not represent support for an expense.
Records
Accounting records must be supported by source documentation. Invoices, bills of lading, purchase
vouchers, payrolls and the like must be secured and retained for five years in order to show for what
purpose funds were spent. Payments should not be made without invoices and vouchers physically in
hand. All vouchers/invoices should be on vendor's letterhead. Financial records are to be retained for
a period of five years, with access guaranteed to HCS, to HUD or Treasury officials or their
representative.
Audits
For years beginning after June 30, 1996, all nonprofit organizations, state governments, and local
governments that receive Federal funding fall under the revised OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States,
Local Governments, and Nonprofit Organizations. Non-Federal entities that expend $500,000 or more
in a year in Federal awards must have a single or program-specific audit.
One copy of the Provider or vendors' audited financial statement shall be submitted to HCS
immediately following the end of the fiscal year(s)during which CDBG funds are received.
All auditees must submit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) a data collection form (Form SF-
SAC) and reporting package upon completion of the annual audit in accordance with OMB Circular A-
133. The deadline for this submission is the earlier of the 30 days after receipt of the auditor's
report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless a longer period is agreed to in
advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for the audit. Address for submission is:
