funds the CITY is otherwise obligated to pay to the SUBRECIPIENT pursuant to the terms hereof.
The SUBRECIPIENT agrees that the homeless shelter/services under said program shall be
available for the entire period during which said funds are provided.
E. Condition of Fundine
(1) The CITY advises the SUBRECIPIENT that a significant change in entitlement funding
may result in a change in the current process utilized by the CITY to determine funding
allocations. The SUBRECIPIENT acknowledges that the obligation of the CITY is contingent
upon the availability of Federal, State or Local government funds, which are appropriated or
allocated for the payment of such an obligation. If funding levels are significantly affected by
Federal budgeting or if funds are not allocated and available for the continuance of the function
performed by the SUBRECIPIENT, this AGREEMENT may be terminated by the CITY at the
end of the period for which funds are available. At the earliest opportunity, the CITY shall notify
the SUBRECIPIENT of any service which may be affected by a shortage of funds. No penalty
shall accrue to the CITY in the event this provision is exercised and the CITY shall not be liable
for any damages as a result of termination under this provision of this AGREEMENT. Nothing
herein shall be construed as obligating the CITY to expend funds in excess of appropriations
authorized by law.
(2) The SUBRECIPIENT shall allow representatives of the CITY or HUD to inspect
facilities which are used in connection with the AGREEMENT or which implement programs
funded under this AGREEMENT.
F. Matchine
The SUBRECIPIENT is required to make matching contributions to supplement the ESG
program in an amount that equals or exceeds the amount of ESG funds provided by HUD through
the CITY. Such contributions shall be entirely consistent with the Matching Requirements as
outlined by 24 CFR § 576.201. The anticipated source and amount of all matching funds
contributed by the SUBRECIPIENT will be enumerated in Exhibit B, Final Budget.
G. Program Income
(1) Definition. Program income means, as provided by 2 CFR 200.1, gross income earned
by the SUBRECIPIENT that is directly generated by a grant supported activity, or earned only as
a result of the grant agreement during the grant period. For purposes of ESG, program income
will also include any amount of a security or utility deposit returned to the SUBRECIPIENT.
(2) Use. The SUBRECIPIENT shall use all income received from said funds only for the same
purposes for which said funds may be expended pursuant to the terms and conditions of this
AGREEMENT.
(3) Counts toward Matching. Costs paid by program income may count toward meeting the
matching requirements, provided the costs are eligible ESG costs that supplement the program.
H. Separation of Accounts
All funds received by the SUBRECIPIENT from the CITY pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be
maintained separate and apart from any other funds of the SUBRECIPIENT, or of any principal or
member of the SUBRECIPIENT, in an account (the "Account') at a federally insured banking or
savings and loan institution with record keeping of such Accounts maintained pursuant to applicable
legal requirements. The SUBRECIPIENT shall keep all records of the Account in a manner that is
consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. No monies shall be withdrawn from the
Account except for expenditures relating to essential services, homeless prevention, and/or
operations costs, as authorized hereunder. All disbursements from the Account shall be for
obligations incurred in the performance of this AGREEMENT and shall be supported by
contracts, invoices, vouchers, and other data, as appropriate, evidencing the necessity of such
expenditure. The CITY may withhold payment allocation requests if the SUBRECIPIENT fails to
comply with the above requirements until such compliance is demonstrated.
I. Expenditure of Funds
Much like how HUD requires the CITY, pursuant to 24 CFR 576.203, to expend all of the grant
funds for eligible activity costs within 24 months after the date that HUD signs the grant
agreement with the CITY, it is a requirement for the SUBRECIPIENT to expend all of the grant
funds for eligible activity costs within the aforementioned period. For the purposes of this
paragraph, expenditure means either an actual cash disbursement for a direct charge for a
good/service or an indirect cost, or the accrual of a direct charge for a good/service or an indirect
cost. Failure to expend said funds within said timeframe can result in a reallocation of funds.
J. Prohibited Use
(1) Generally. The SUBRECIPIENT hereby certifies and agrees that it will not use funds
provided through this AGREEMENT to pay for meals for persons other than those identified as
homeless or at risk of homelessness. Said funds shall not be used for entertainment purposes or for
gifts. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies that it will not use said funds for illegal or dishonest conduct,
rather, fund use will remain in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including
applicable laws not outlined in this AGREEMENT.
(2) Lobbying. The SUBRECIPIENT certifies and agrees that it will comply with federal law (31
U.S.C. 1352) and regulations found at 24 CFR Part 87, which provide that no appropriated funds
may be expended by the recipient of a federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement to pay
any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, Member
of Congress, or an officer or employee of a Member of Congress in connection with awarding of any
federal contract, the making of any federal grant or loan, entering into any cooperative agreement
and the extension, renewal, amendment, or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan, or
cooperative agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT shall sign a certification to that effect in a form as set
forth in Exhibit C, attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein. The SUBRECIPIENT
shall submit said signed certification to the CITY prior to performing any of its obligations under this
AGREEMENT and prior to any obligation arising on the part of the CITY to pay any sums to the
SUBRECIPIENT under the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT. If any funds other than
Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting
to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of
Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, grant,
loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit a "Disclosure Form to
Report Lobbying," in accordance with its instructions (see Exhibit D).

remedies, including suspension and/or debarment.
3. The prospective recipient of federal assistance funds shall provide immediate written notice to the
person to which this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective recipient of federal

by reason of changed circumstances.
4. The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered
transaction," "participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and
