City Clerk I i — � , EXHIBIT A The Citv of Ukiah's Communitv Development Block Grant Proqrem Income Reuse Plan [Attached behind this page] I ' I i I �� I COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CDBG) I PROGRAM INCOME (PI) REUSE AGREEMENT - -- I Execution of the this P/ Reuse Agreement by both the Jurisdiction and the California, State Department of Housing and Community Development (Department) provides officia/ notification of the Department's approval for the Jurisdiction to expend PI funds under the State's administration of the federa/ Community Development Block Grant i Program (CDBG) for (1) state non-entitlement jurisdictions; and (2) former state non- I entitlement jurisdictions that are now entit/ement jurisdictions;, pursuant to the provisions of 42 U.S. Code (U.S.C.) 5301 et seq., 24 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 57Q Subpart l, and 25 California Code of Regulations (CCR), Sections 7050 et seq. CDBG funding is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance as 14.228 - CDBG Community Development B/ock Grant Program. The Agreement also includes asset repayments from activities administered under DRI contracts. By completing this P/ Reuse Agreement and signing the end of this document, the Authorized Representative certifies the Jurisdiction has read, understands and will adhere to the Program Income (PI) Reuse Overview and Process discussed in the first section of this document, the Jurisdictional Certifications in the second section of this document, and Department of Housing and Community Development (hereinafter Department) terms and conditions in the third section of this document. SECTION ONE: OVERVIEW AND PROCESS JURISDICTION: Clt)/ Of Uklah GOVERNING BODY ADOPTED ON: �cTOSEx / 1 /2014 This PI Reuse Agreement establishes policies and procedures for the administration i and utilization of PI received as a direct result of eligible activities funded under CDBG and DRI contracts with the Department. For payments generated under DR/ contracts, while the funding was loaned under DRI, when a payment is received, per DRI regu/ation, the payment becomes CDBG program income. I Applicabilitv of this Aareement: �, This PI Reuse Agreement between the Jurisdiction and Department is required by CDBG federal regulation. This Agreement allows Jurisdictions receiving repayments from CDBG and DRI assets to spend those PI funds in the absence of an active Department CDBG grant contract. This Agreement applies to all current Department- eligible Non-Entitlement Jurisdictions and HUD Entitlement Jurisdictions that are still receiving Non-Entitlement PI revenue from previous State grants (CDBG and/or DRI). I I I il I RECEIPT OF PROGRAM INCOME Pursuant to the definition of program income found at 24 CFR 570.489(e)(2), repayments of assets generated from use of CDBG funds received by the Jurisdiction from the Department are PI. These repayments of loans, lease payments, and proceeds of asset sales will be deposited into one of three separate local PI accounts depending on what activity generated the PI. It is possible that the Jurisdiction may have up to three separate accounts with which to manage PI. , 1. If the Jurisdiction has a Department approved Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) for Housing and/or ED, any PI from Housing or ED activities must be deposited into the RLF associated with the activity that generated the PI. This means: a. Housing PI must be deposited into the Housing RLF. b. ED PI must be deposited into the ED RLF. Note: The accounts for each RLF must be separate accounts, however they both must be interest bearing. 2. If RLF(s) are not approved for use, the Jurisdiction must deposit all CDBG repayments into a single regular PI account which must be separate from either of the RLF accounts, but it must also be interest bearing. 3. If repayment comes from a loan or asset that was originally paid with CDBG and non-CDBG funds, the PI accounting and reporting must reflect the correct amounts and proportions of CDBG PI and non-CDBG funds invested in the asset. Only the CDBG portion of the repayment is deposited into one of the three PI accounts. OVERVIEW OF WAYS TO USE PROGRAM INCOME There are five (5J ways to manage PI under the Agreement. They are: 1. Expend PI and RLF monies first on active grant contract activities; 2. Expend PI General Administration (PI GA) for GA Activities (up to allowab/e limits) 3. Expend through an approved PI Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) 4. Expend PI on an approved waiver activity when no active contract is in force; 5. Return PI annually to the Department. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that PI will be expended first when there is an active grant contract with the Department. PI being received when there is no active grant contract will be deposited into separate accounts for approved activities under this Agreement (via GA, PI Waiver or RLF) and only be distributed and expended, as follows: 1. Exoend PI and RLF Monies First on Active Grant Contract Activities• CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 2 of 40 I Rev. 7/2014 . If the undersigned Jurisdiction has an active grant contract with the Department, all PI on hand must be expended on open grant activities, prior to requesting i grant funds from the Department. If the undersigned Jurisdiction has a Department approved PI Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) per this Agreement, and has an active grant contract which includes the same eligible CDBG activity as the RLF, the RLF monies must be expended , first before requesting any contract funds from the Department. PI must always be expended first on active contract activities, prior to requesting grant contract funds. I See the Chapter on Proqram Income and Revolvinq Loan Funds in the DepartmenYs CDBG Grant Management Manual for additional information regarding use of PI to pay costs for activities under an active grant contract in the Department. 2. FrnPnd PI General Administration (PI GA1 for GA Activities ��o �o allowable lin�its! The undersigned Jurisdiction must track a calculation of up to seventeen percent (17%) of PI received annually for eligible GA costs. However, the seventeen percent (17%) PI GA only applies to PI received that is not generated by a RLF activity. Since all PI must be expended first, GA funds cannot be held and used only as PI GA costs are incurred. All PI must be spent on the next funds request submitted. Thus, the Jurisdiction can choose to keep an accounting of the total , amount of PI GA available for use based on all regular PI received. ' PI GA funds cannot be used for planning studies or technical assistance activities, these activities can only be funded under awarded grant contracts. See the Program Income Chapter for further details on eligible PI GA activities under I I this Agreement. I 3. Exnend PI throuah an a�oroved PI Revolvina Loan Fund IRLF): To establish one or both of the RLFs discussed below, the undersigned Jurisdiction must submit formal written request for Department approval using the required process included with this Agreement. The undersigned Jurisdiction agrees to all the DepartmenYs RLF requirements as stated in this Agreement and detailed in the GMM Chapter. I The two RLFs and their corresponding definitions, as permitted by this agreement, are: CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 3 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 � I � 1) Housina Revolvina Loan Fund IRLFI ' Eligible housing activities under this RLF include: I I. Housinq Rehabilitation - Sinqle Unit Residence program for owner and/or tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 14A. II. Housinp Rehabilitation - 2-4 Units program for tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 146. III. Housinq Acquisition - Sinqle Familv program for homebuyer assistance. Matrix code 13. 2) Economic Develonment (EDl Revolvinp Loan Funds IRLFI Eligible ED activities under this RLF include: i. Business Assistance program (direct financial assistance to a for-profit business). Matrix code18A; and ii. Microenterprise Financial Assistance (loans). Matrix code 18C. The undersigned Jurisdiction will provide program guidelines for all eligible RLF activities as part of the approval process when obtaining Department approval of a RLF. Department written approval must be received before incurring any activity or activity delivery costs associated with implementing any activities under the approved RLF. All approved RLF projects, will be required to be reported to the Department via the applicable CDBG Set-up/Completion reports. 4. Exnend PI on an Aooroved PI Waiver Activitv when no active contra i in , force• The undersigned Jurisdiction may only utilize the DepartmenYs PI Waiver , process when it has no active grant contracts with the Department. Once there are no active contracts with the Department, the undersigned Jurisdiction can have up to two active eligible CDBG activities approved by the Department, for which PI may be expended. Waivers will consist of a single program, service or single project activity. If it is a single program activity, it cannot be the same program activity as funded under an approved RLF. The undersigned Jurisdiction will follow all PI Waiver procedural requirements as stated in the Program Income Chapter of the Grant Management Manual (GMM). Written Department approval is required before expending any PI funds on a Waiver activity. Each Waiver activity must clear the activity General and any Special Conditions which include federal overlays as posted on DepartmenYs webpage. A PI Waiver project can only be approved if the total project / program cost for CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 4 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 , I the proposed activity is on hand in the Jurisdiction's PI account. Future PI may not be committed for PI Waivers. The undersigned Jurisdiction understands that PI Waiver activities are limited to � two active projects, services and/or programs, and will remain active until close out has been completed and approved by the Department. Each approved ' Waiver activity will be set up with the Department using current Set-Up Report. The undersigned Jurisdiction understands if they receive a subsequent award of CDBG funds, upon execution of the new grant contract all waiver activities are to be completed first, after which, PI must be expended first on the active grant contract activities. PI Waivers will not be included in the grant, because Supplemental activities will be included in contracts. 5. Return PI to the Deoartment The undersigned Jurisdiction has the option to return PI back to the DepaRment. However, semi-annual and annual reports are still required to confirm PI being returned.

I DBG PI Reuse A reement Page 5 of 40 C g Rev 7/2014 I i I SECTION TWO: CERTIFICATION FOR PROCESS AND USE OF PROGRAMINCOME Since CDBG is a federal funding source, Citizen Participation is required when utilizing any of the five (5) ways to use PI listed above. Those requirements are incorporated below. The City of Ukiah certifies that: 1. Resolution: The PI Reuse Agreement was formally adopted via resolution on xxixxi2o�a by the Jurisdiction's Governing Body, executed by the Authorized Representative and submitted to Department with certified copy of the approving resolution attached for full execution. 2.

Governina Compliance: The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies the administration of all CDBG eligible activities conducted under the above described Ways to Spend PI, will be conducted in compliance with all current State and federal regulations and policies, including all applicable Grant Management Manual (GMM) chapters and Department Management Memos. ' 4. Ineliaible Activities and Costs: The undersigned Jurisdiction acknowledges that if ineligible activities or costs are paid for with CDBG PI, those funds must be returned to the Jurisdiction's PI or ' RLF account (whichever account expended ineligible funds) using local Jurisdiction funds. The undersigned Jurisdiction acknowledges that ineligible activities or costs paid for with PI under an active grant contract must be repaid to the Department using local non-federal funds. 5. �risdictions Leavina the State Non-Entitlement Proaram and Jurisdictions Enterina the State Non-Entitlement Proaram• CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 6 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 � � I The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that it will follow these procedures when leaving or entering the State CDBG Program: A. 24 CFR 570.489(e)(3)(iii) Transfer of proqram income to Entitlement proqram. Jurisdictions that are entitlement communities or part of an urban agreement, or grantees that at a later date become an entitlement community orjoin a urban agreement, have the following options for PI and RLFs: PI not associated with a RLF, the iurisdiction must: 1) Complete the process to certify they will be reporting the State PI into the Entitlement Programs process, including receipting the CDBG i proceeds into IDIS, or, 2) Return all State CDBG Program Income to the Department, the amounts on hand once the HUD agreement is signed and as it is received until all PI generated by State CDBG funding has been returned. PI in an approved RLF: Entitlement jurisdictions and those who are part of an urban agreement may keep their RLF(s) and monies within an RLF as long as the following is met: 1) They have a State Reuse Plan (Agreement) signed by the Department and the City/County Authorized Representative. 2) Agree to operate the RLF under the DepartmenYs RLF rules going forv✓ard 3) Report all expenditure, and accounting of RLF(s) as required by the Department. 4) The Jurisdiction shall be required to have loan servicing policies and asset management policies and procedures, pursuant to the DepartmenYs Grant Management Manual Chapter on Asset and Real Property Management B. 24 CFR 570 489(e)(3) (iv) Transfer of proqram income of qrantees losinq Entit/ement status. Upon entry into the State CDBG program, a unit of general local _ . CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 7 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 I � i I government that has lost or relinquished its Entitlement status must submit a letter to the department, signed by the Authorized Representative stating ' which of the following options the jurisdiction will be implementing. Keep in mind, that retaining Entitlement PI while participating in the State CDBG program will require PI reporting for both sets of funding. Entitlement PI and any PI generated by State CDBG fund cannot be comingled. Within 90 days of leaving the Entitlement Program to join the State CDBG program, the jurisdiction must certify that it will either: 1) Retain program income generated under Entitlement grants and continue to comply with Entitlement program requirements for program income, including reporting it into IDIS or the urban county; or 2) Retain the program income and transfer it to the State CDBG program, in which case the jurisdiction must comply with the State's rules for PI and RLF address within this Memo, the Reuse Plan and Chapter 14 of the Grant Management Memo. 6. Reauirements of Proaram Income I This PI Reuse Agreement is intended to satisfy the requirements specified in federal statute and regulation at Section 104Q) of the Housing and Community Development Act ("the AcY'), as amended in 1992 and 24 CFR 570.489(e) and (f). These statutory and regulatory sections permit a unit of local government to retain PI for CDBG-eligible activities, with Department approval. Under federal ' guidelines adopted by the State of California's CDBG Program, local governments are permitted to retain PI as long as the local government has received advance approval from the State of a local Agreement that will govern the expenditure of the PI. This Agreement has been developed to meet that I requirement when an active contract between the Department and the undersigned Jurisdiction is not in force. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies their PI will be used to fund eligible CDBG activities that meet a National Objective and any public benefit requirements. Eligible activities, National Objective and public benefit requirements are specified in Federal Statute at Sections 104(b), 105(a) of The Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and in Federal Regulations at 24 CFR 570.482 and 24 CFR 570.483. The Jurisdiction understands, if it is � determined that an activity/project funded with PI that does not meet a National Objective and/or meet the public benefit requirement, the Jurisdiction will be ' required to use its own local funds to repay the PI Account. 7. Definition of Proaram Income "Program Income" means gross income earned by the Jurisdiction from grant- funded activities and is subject to CDBG regulatory requirements pursuant to CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 8 of 40 ' Rev. 7/2014 24 CFR, Part 570.489(e) - Program Administrative Requirements as amended in the CDBG Final Rule, 24 CFR, Part 570.504 - Program Income, 24 CFR Part ' 85 — Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to ' State, Local and Federally Recognized Indian Tribal Governments, and OMB Circulars A-87 and A-122 as applicable. These regulations include the requirement that the Jurisdiction record the receipt and expenditure of PI as part of the financial transactions of the grant activity(ies). For activities generating PI that are only partially funded with CDBG funds, such income is prorated to reflect the actual percentage of CDBG participation. Examqles of PI include but are not limited to: payments of principal and interest on housing rehabilitation or business loans made using CDBG funds; interest earned on PI pending its disposition; interest earned on funds that have been placed in a revolving loan account; net proceeds from the disposition by sale or long-term lease of real property purchased or improved with CDBG funds; and, income (net of costs that are incidental to the generation of the income) from the use or rental of real property that has been acquired, constructed or improved with CDBG funds and that is owned (in whole or in part) by the participating Jurisdiction or Sub-recipient. 8. Fiscal Reaortina of Proqram Income Recei�ts Deuosits and Disbursements The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that CDBG PI will be accounted for using the Department's fiscal year timeframe (July 1 to June 30). All receipts of PI or RLF revenue (and the depositing of those funds into separate account(s)) and expenditures of PI in accordance with this PI Reuse Agreement will be monitored and reported per the DepartmenYs fiscal year cycle. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that they will report using the Department's reports/forms and will submit them in a timely manner. 9. Duration of This Proaram Income Reuse Aareement I The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that it and its Governing Body I understand that this document is effective for five (5) years from the execution date by the authorized CDBG Representative listed in this Agreement. At that time unless here are no further CDBG PI assets generating repayments, or the i Jurisdiction has become a HUD entitlement Jurisdiction and uses these funds for entitlement activities, a new PI Reuse Agreement will be submitted to the Department. The Department has the Authority to void the Agreement with notice for cause. 10. Program Income General Administration (PI GA) � A. After the PI Reuse Agreement is executed, the Jurisdiction reserves the right to calculate and track up to seventeen percent (17%) of PI received pursuant � to Section 1 , item 2 above, for payment of eligible PI GA costs. PI GA will not , CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 9 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 i be calculated for any RLF deposits. PI GA funds will not be used until General Conditions for PI GA are cleared and Departmental written approval is received. As noted above, these funds cannot be set aside since all PI must be expended first on whatever CDBG cost must be paid next, however tracking the amount of PI GA generated by the Jurisdiction's PI revenue permits the Jurisdiction to use that amount on eligible CDBG costs that don't have to meet a national objective, and ensures the Department is not exceeding the administrative funding cap of twenty percent (20%), as set by federal statute. B. If more funds are expended than what is available under PI GA calculation, the Jurisdiction will be required to return the over-expended PI GA amount � back into their PI Account. C. Ineligible PI GA costs will be required to be returned to their PI Account. D. PI GA funds, once approved for use, may be used to pay for costs associated with receiving Department approval of PI activities funded under this agreement. Before submitting any proposed PI activities (Waivers or RLF) for Department approval, the Jurisdiction must hold at least one formal public hearing to discuss eligible activities and proposed PI activities. Department recommends that this public hearing be conducted to review current fiscal year PI activities and proposed and possible activities for future Department applications. 11. Revolving Loan Funds (RLFs) A. Pursuant to the criteria noted below, the undersigned Jurisdiction may be eligible to apply for the Housing RLF and/or the ED RLF. B. RLFs listed under the Agreement will only be utilized after the Jurisdiction submits written certification as well as the required guideline documents, and receives written Departmental approval certifying that the proposed RLF i meets the DepartmenYs definition as follows: 1) There are existing loans and assets from past RLF eligible activities that can be reasonable expected to generate repayments. 2) The existing loans and assets have generated at least one loan repayment in the current fiscal year. ' C. The two RLFs and their respective CDBG eligible activities listed in this Agreement will be administered under the guidance and requirements provided in this Agreement and in the DepartmenYs current GMM Chapter on Program Income, and any subsequent policy, regulation, or statutory guidance, from the Department. D. Pursuant to Management Memorandum 14-05, the undersigned Jurisdiction CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 10 of 40 Rev, 7/2014 I ' certifies acknowledgement that the Department reserves the right to cancel , the grantee's RLF and require the funds to be returned to the Department as a corrective action for significant, ongoing non-compliance with RLF rules. E. The two (2) RLFs listed below each have a multiple eligible CDBG program activities. All CDBG rules pertaining to eligible RLF program activities will be followed. 1) Housina Revolvinq Loan Fund There are three (3) housing programs that must be made available under this RLF. The Jurisdiction will get written Department approval for all three programs as part of Housing RLF approval. I Eligible housing activities under this RLF include: i. Housinq Rehabilitation - Sinqle Unit Residence program for owner and/or tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 14A. � ii. Housinq Rehabilitation - 2-4 Units program for owner and/or tenant occupied properties. Matrix code 14B. iii. Housinq Acquisition - Sinqle Family program for homebuyer assistance. Matrix code 13. 2) F�onomic Develooment IEDI Revolvina Loan Funds (RLFI Eligible ED activities under this RLF include: i. Business Assistance program (direct financial assistance to a for- profit business). Matrix codel8A; and ii. Microenterprise Financial Assistance. Matrix code 18C. F. Each approved RLF will offer all eligible activities under the RLF definition. G. Separate and formally adopted program guidelines for each eligible activity will be provided to the Department as part of General Conditions for all eligible RLF activities when obtaining Department approval of a RLF. H. The undersigned Jurisdiction acknowledges that although all eligible activities under each approved RLF must be available, the Jurisdiction has the discretion to fund RLF loans for the activity or activities they deem to I address the greatest need in their community. I. RLF receipts on deposit may be used for one or both single family housing program activities. Although both activities are required to be approved by the Department for use under the RLF, the Jurisdiction may choose to only � operate one program at time or both simultaneously. J. In addition, each approved RLF will meet the following criteria: i � CDBG PI ReuseAgreement Page 11 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 i 1) RLFs will operate on a fiscal year of July 1 to June 30 for accounting and performance reporting. 2) Jurisdictions will set up RLFs as separate accounts (Housing and ED RLF accounts must be separate) with separate fund and transaction numbers. All other CDBG funds received as PI must be accounted for in a separate account. , 3) All accounts set up pursuant to 2.G.2 will be interest bearing. 4) RLF monies will be expended first when the same RLF activity is funded under an awarded active grant contract. 5) RLF projects may be funded with both RLF monies and an active grant contract. 6) RLFs will be expended primarily on loans since RLFs must revolve. Thus, activities under an active contract that are funded using only grants rather than loans, will use contract funds not RLF monies to pay for the activity. Microenterprise grants, home repair grants and closing cost grants, that do not have loans associated with them, will not become RLF assets and therefore will not require RLF funds to be spent first on the active grant activities. 7) The RLFs will primarily provide financing instruments that will revolve, (i.e. loans), RLFs cannot fund projects primarily or solely with grants or forgivable loans. , 8) RLF receipts from loans or assets generated from the same program activity, (i.e. single family housing rehabilitation loan repayments will only be deposited into a Housing RLF). Thus, repayments from the same program activities that go into an RLF must be used for originating loans for the same program activities. 9) RLF PI balances will not be moved to another approved RLF account or , to the Jurisdiction's regular PI account. The Department may use a , state or federal disaster declaration to formally allow for re-purposing of , PI funds by the Jurisdiction. Funds approved by the Department for re- purposing to meet an urgent need are considered PI and must be expended first under active grant contracts or under approved waivers if there is no active contract. 10) RLFs that become depleted of funds and do not have additional asset repayments to sustain revolving activities, such that no longer meeting I the Departments RLF definition, will be canceled by the Department. 11) RLF PI received and deposited is not allowable for PI GA expenses thus, seventeen percent (17%) cannot be set aside as with Jurisdictions with separate PI accounts. 12) RLFs with no annual revolving activities, (i.e. approved loans), are not able to be used by the Jurisdiction for reimbursement of non-revolving CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 12 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 _ _ � I I I costs therefore, activity delivery (AD) costs are not eligible. AD costs I are onlv eliaible if one or more proiects are funded and accomalishment data li.e. beneficiariesl. for those activitvfiesl. on an annual basis. are renorted. I ' 13) RLF projects must be documented as meeting a national objective. If a project does not meet a national objective, then all expenses associated with the project (activity and activity delivery funds) must be repaid to the RLF with non-federal funds. 14) Given that RLF revenue cannot be "banked", to remain eligible, a RLF , must revolve. To meet the definition of revolving, the undersigned ', Jurisdiction will not have more than $100,000 on deposit in an RLF within a fiscal year without making at least one loan. Nor will the undersigned I Jurisdiction have more than $500,000 on hand even if making loans, � each fiscal year. 15) The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies they are aware that the Department will address excess funds and revolving compliance by issuing finding letters to the grantee which could result in the Department cancelling the grantee's RLF, which immediately converts the funds to PI; and, therefore, must be used prior to drawing down grant funds. 16) RLF activity delivery funds (AD) may be used to pay for loan servicing costs. 17) Citizens of the Jurisdiction must be the primary beneficiaries of all RLF program activities. 18) Financial and performance reporting, on RLF projects will be done I using current eligible activity set up, performance and completion , , reports for National Objective data and beneficiary demographics as ' HUD required accomplishment information. 19) Additional financial reports for RLF PI deposits and expenditures will be � done twice a year using the DepartmenYs current PI fiscal reporting forms. 20) The Jurisdiction will be required to repay the RLF account for ineligible costs or activities with local non-federal funds. 21) RLF programs will meet the CDBG National Objective of benefit to Low/Moderate-income (Low/Mod) households. per 24 CFR Part 5, and in accordance with the DepartmenYs Income Manual. 22) Loan servicing costs under the RLFs are not eligible as PI GA costs but are eligible AD costs. As such, loan servicing costs are only eligible if one or more loans are made fiscally. j I i CDBG PI Reuse Agreement Page 13 of 40 Rev. 7/2014 i K. Activity Specific Requirements: 1) Housing RLF: a. All Housing Rehabilitation and Homeownership Assistance i programs will only fund projects that meet a National Objective and � comply with other State and federal requirements, including Department Management Memorandums and GMM Chapters on Housing Rehabilitation, Multi-Family Rehabilitation (2-4 units), and Homeownership Assistance. b. No more than nineteen percent (19%) of funds expended for � Housing Rehabilitation in the RLF will be used for AD costs on an annual fiscal basis. c. No more than eight percent (8%) of funds expended in a fiscal year for Homeownership Assistance will be used to reimburse eligible ' AD costs. d. AD costs are not eligible until one loan is approved, closed and project beneficiary information is submitted. e. Projects cannot be solely funded as a grant. 2) ED RLF: ' a. Both ED programs will only fund projects that meet a National Objective and comply with other State and federal requirements, including Department Management Memorandums and GMM Chapters on Microenterprise and BA program. b.

Local review and approval of microenterprise business assistance projects requesting a CDBG loan under this RLF shall be conducted under the Microenterprise Financial Assistance Program Guidelines that have been adopted ' by the Governing Body of the undersigned Jurisdiction and approved in writing by the Department as part of the General Conditions clearance. Note: this subsection applies to ME loans only, not ME grants. Financial Assisfance that is so/ely a grant cannot be made through an RLF. j 12. Loan Portfolio and Asset Management Policies and Costs I A. The undersigned Jurisdiction certifies that it has asset management policies and loan portfolio servicing policies that are in compliance with HUD standards per 24 CFR Part 570, OMB Circulars A-87, A-122 A-133, and 24 CFR Part 85. B. The use of CDBG funds creates public financial assets. The public financial assets created can be in the form of loans or other repayment instruments which result in PI. Financial assets may also be in the form of real property or chattel (equipment and fixtures). All assets created from the use of CDBG funds must be administered in compliance with OMB Circulars A-87, A-122 A-133, 24 CFR Part 85. These policies will be used for managing all CDBG assets, including those which generate PI and RLF PI. C. General Administration PI funds may be used to reimburse the Jurisdiction for loan servicing and asset management costs.
