The HOME -ARP Grant Agreement (the "Agreement") between the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Grantee is made pursuant to the authority
of the HOME Investment Partnerships Act (42 U.S.C. 12701 at seq.) and Section 3205 of the American Rescue Plan (P.L. 117-2) (ARP). HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 92 (as
may be amended from time to time), the CPD Notice entitled "Requirements for the Use of Funds in the HOME -American Rescue Plan Program" (HOME -ARP Implementation
Notice), the Grantee's HOME -ARP allocation plan (as of the date of HUD's approval), and this HOME -ARP Grant Agreement, form HUD-40093a, including any special conditions
(in accordance with 2 CFR 200.208), constitute part of this Agreement. HUD's payment of funds under this Agreement is subject to the Grantee's compliance with HUD's electronic
funds transfer and information reporting procedures issued pursuant to 24 CFR 92.502 and the HOME -ARP Implementation Notice. To the extent authorized by HUD regulations
at 24 CFR part 92, HUD may, by its execution of an amendment, deobligate funds previously awarded to the Grantee without the Grantee's execution of the amendment or other
consent. The Grantee agrees that funds invested in HOME -ARP activities under the HOME -ARP Implementation Notice are repayable in accordance with the requirements of the
HOME -ARP Implementation Notice. The Grantee agrees to assume all of the responsibility for environmental review, decision making, and actions, as specified and required in
regulation at 24 CFR 92.352 and 24 CFR Part 58, as well as the HOME -ARP Implementation Notice.
The Grantee must comply with the applicable requirements at 2 CFR part 200, as amended, that are incorporated by the program regulations and the HOME -ARP
Implementation Notice, as may be amended from time to time. Where any previous or future amendments to 2 CFR part 200 replace or renumber sections of part 200 that are cited
specifically in the program regulations or HOME -ARP Implementation Notice, activities carried out under the grant after the effective date of the 2 CFR part 200 amendments will
be governed by the 2 CFR part 200 requirements, as replaced or renumbered by the part 200 amendments.
The Grantee shall comply with requirements established by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) concerning the Universal Numbering System and System for Award
Management (SAM) requirements in Appendix I to 2 CFR part 200, and the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) in Appendix A to 2 CFR part 170.
Funds remaining in the grantee's Treasury account after the end of the budget period will be cancelled and thereafter not available for obligation or expenditure for any purpose.
Per 31 U.S.C. 1552, the Grantee shall not incur any obligations to be paid with such assistance after the end of the Budget Period.
