First (FTF) and the town of Guadalupe, operates a Family Resource Center (FRC) in the previous Father
Fidelis Kuban Head Start building at 5834 East Calle Santo Bravos, 85283.
The FRC provides services in the town of Guadalupe's Father Fidelis Kuban community to 500 duplicate
families and distribute 300 food boxes over the course of one year. The FRC uses a community-based
strategy to provide culturally sensitive information and education related to parenting, child development,
literacy, and health, as well as accessible resources, supports and services.
Being located in the heart of the Father Fidel is Kuban community, the FRC is a central source for
information, education, and referrals to services most needed by families. The center is open year-round
including evenings and Saturdays. Parent education classes utilize the Nurturing Parenting parent
education curriculum which is available in both Spanish and English and includes components targeted to
prenatal families, teen parents, foster and adoptive parents, grandparents, parents of children with special
needs, and families in treatment and recovery. The curriculum covers topics including parenting skills,
early childhood development, and child health. In addition to parent education, the FRC offers a variety
of parenting services, child socialization groups, child sensory and developmental screenings, library and
online resources, referrals, family advocacy, donation services, AHCCCS enrollment, outreach, and food
box referrals for those families experiencing food insecurity.
Introduction
Chicanos Por La Causa, Inc. (CPLC) is a community development corporation committed to building
stronger, healthier communities through advocacy, coalition building and direct service delivery. CPLC
serves more than 125,000 low-income people annually of all races and ethnicities who would otherwise
not receive access to needed services.
Parenting Arizona was established in 1977 to prevent child abuse and neglect, strengthen families and
build supporting communities to foster safe and nurturing homes for children. Parenting Arizona utilizes
research-based programming and proven best practices in promoting healthy children and families based
on a family centered practice model. Additionally, Parenting Arizona has extensive experience serving
populations from diverse ethnicities, language, socioeconomic status, age as well as families with
multiple risk factors. Parenting Arizona employs long-standing, respected community members who
possess an intimate knowledge of the people and communities they serve including Spanish speaking
staff members, staff members that have experience working with _Native American populations, and staff
members with educational and experiential background to work with high-risk families and children.
Parenting Arizona works closely with a full spectrum of public and private community-based programs
throughout Maricopa County to match children and families with available services and has an
established history of delivering culturally competent community-based services to diverse individuals.
Parenting Arizona also has contracts, across the state, with local mental health, Child Protective Services
offices, and schools to provide supportive services to families that have experienced domestic violence,

poverty, substance abuse, lack of access to needed services, and have children with behavioral or
developmental issues. Parenting Arizona has a long history of supporting families to capitalize on their
strengths, advocate for themselves and build strong family foundations.
Needs Assessment
Existing data show there is a need for Family Resource Centers (FRCs) in the town of Guadalupe.
Between the 2000 and 2010 censuses the population of young children in Guadalupe continued to grow.
Guadalupe has a population of 708 children age 0-5, the highest percentage of households {33%) with
one or more young children in the region. Guadalupe's overall poverty rate (33%) is more than double the
county and state rates and the poverty rate for children 0-5 is nearly triple the county and state rates.
Educational attainment is lower in Guadalupe: 41% of adults (ages 25+) are without a high school
diploma. Only 20% of households use English at home. Guadalupe's rate of linguistic isolation {13%) is
more than double the rate for the state and county. In Guadalupe, about 38 percent of children under age
six live in their grandparent's household. As is the cultural norm for Latino families, these . households
often include multiple generations living together: 23% of households contain three or more generations.
Support for grandparents raising grandchildren in Guadalupe has been identified as a priority unmet need.
Guadalupe does not meet the national Healthy People 2020 target of 78% of mothers beginning care in
the first trimester and nearly 10% of Guadalupe mothers receive fewer than five prenatal care visits.
Although assets in the region include family resource centers, home visitation programs, Head Start,
primary and specialty care, strong school districts, the Quality First initiative, and a strong sense of
community, qualitative data suggest that outreach to families in need could be improved, especially in
Guadalupe.
Program Objectives
Target Service Number based on Unit of Service(s):
i. Family Resource Centers: Provide any FRC service (parenting classes, community referrals, food
boxes, outreach, and etc.) to 500 duplicated families in Father Fidelis Kuban community yearly.
ii. Parent Education: Provide parenting classes to 500 duplicated participating adults in the Father
Fidelis Kuban community yearly.
iii. Food Security: Provide 300 food box referrals yearly to Father Fidelis Kuban community and
Guadalupe residents.
iv. For Health Insurance Outreach and Enrollment Assistance: In the town of Guadalupe, FRC staff
enrolls 50 families in AHCCCS per year; Reach 500 individuals through public awareness
activities per year; and, refer 150 families to other providers of low-cost or no-cost health care
coverage per year.
Program Strategy
FRC targets the Father Fidelis Kuban community and focusing on families with children of all ages using
cultural competent services. FRC emphasizes serving expectant mothers, first time parents, young fathers,
Page 6 of 59
Housing Authority of Maricopa County
Maricopa County HOME Agreement
grandparent caregivers, pregnant teens, and parents of pregnant teens. All families are welcome at the
FRC regardless of where they live.
The FRC serves as hub of community services designed to support families and meet the needs of the
Father Fidelis Kuban community. The FRC works collaboratively with community partners to bring
together resources and activities into an integrated service system that is accessible and responsive. The
FRC uses a family centered environment building on family strengths and using family friendly furniture,
developmentally appropriate toys, literature/books and materials. The FRC is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday through Friday and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. FRC is open all year to families.
The FRC has improved the Father Fidelis Kuban community by the implementation of a comprehensive
model that consists of the following multiple strategies:
Parent Education. Parenting Arizona proposes implementation of an evidence-based curriculum,
Community Based Education in Nurturing Parenting. FRC conducts 5 complete Nurturing Parenting class
series. Five cycles are conducted in the Father Fidelis Kuban community for 50 classes targeting 10 adults
in each class with continuous program implementation over 50 weeks. The resulting target service
numbers for Nurturing Parenting are 500 participating adults. Group sessions run from one to three hours
once a week for ten weeks and are held on a schedule convenient for the families, including evenings and
weekends. Sessions may offer parent only/child only instruction time and include parent-child interaction
time. The child format of the group-based program allows children to engage in age appropriate activities.
Age specific lessons are available for infants, toddlers and preschool children (ages O to 5).
Monthly Community Events. Parenting Arizona also implements monthly community events in the Father
Fidelis Kuban community. Community events offer an opportunity for family support where families
build social connections with each other, engage in parent-child interaction and increase their knowledge
of ways to support children's development. Community events are offered monthly at times and locations
that are convenient to families and delivered by trained Parent Educators through a variety of social
formats including family activities, ongoing groups, presentations and community events. FRC staff hosts
a variety of events from free oral health screenings and fluoride varnishes to fun cultural events.
Literacy Activities. The FRC provides Father Fidelis Kuban residents with books and literacy programs
intended to increase literacy in both children and their parents. Parent Educators assists families in the
selection of appropriate reading materials. The children participate in different developmental appropriate
playgroups and activities (i.e. story time) to improve literacy. Bilingual materials are available such as
videos, books, and audio. In addition, the FRC offers free books where families can create a home library.
Computer Resources. The FRC has a computer lab with computers allocated towards improving Father
Fidelis Kuban residents' ability to obtain further needed resources. Also, there is internet connectivity, so
the residents can seek employment online while they are at the center.
Socialization Groups. FRC provides free child socialization groups to parents utilizing the services at
centers. Staff to child ratio is 1:8 (for children ages two-years and older). FRC uses Arizona State
University interns and volunteers who have a background in education, social work, psychology,
sociology, or related field. Interns and volunteers obtain an orientation, CPR/First Aide certification, and
Page 7 of 59
Housing Authority of Maricopa County
Maricopa County HOME Agreement
training on how to structure child socialization groups. In addition, interns/volunteers undergo criminal
background screenings and must have a fingerprint clearance card.
Resource and Referral. FRC connects Father Fidelis Kuban residents to needed resources and takes an
active role in establishing ongoing relationships with other institutions and organizations that serve
residents. The Nurturing Parenting program's child development focused approach to family support
makes it a valuable part of the community's network of human services programs. When these
organizations, agencies, coalitions, government-supported programs, schools and faith-based
communities connect with each other, they provide a powerful network of support for participants. In
addition, collaborators and partners provide the community's residents special topic seminars and
information such as information on breastfeeding, obesity/nutrition, prenatal care, oral health,
mental/behavioral health, safety, budget, and postpartum and partner stress reduction.
AHCCCS / KidsCare Enrollment. Eligible uninsured Father Fidelis Kuban residents are enrolled in
AHCCCS or KidsCare. Collection of demographic data include ascertaining if and what type of health
insurance families have. If participants do not have health insurance, Parenting Arizona staff refer them to
Community Action Program (CAP) for enrollment into AHCCCS/KidsCare. If CAP is unable to enroll
residents immediately, Parenting Arizona staff are trained and certified to use the Health-e-Arizona web
based system and enroll participants. Ineligible residents are referred to low cost and no cost health care
resources.
Screenings. Screening provides information about each child's health and developmental progress,
increases parents' understanding of healthy development, and identifies strengths and abilities, as well as
areas of concern. Screenings in the FRC include: 1) Quarterly hearing screenings; 2) Annual vision
screens; 3) Health Screenings - Parent Educators maintain information on each child's health status to
confirm that children are receiving medical care and immunizations; and 4) Developmental screenings in
the areas of language, intellectual, social emotional, and motor development using the Ages and Stages
Questionnaire (ASQ-3) and the ASQ:SE (Social Emotional). Hearing and vision screenings take place
during community events, and health screenings are monitored during individual visits to the FRC.
Parents have an opportunity to ask FRC staff to complete a developmental screening on their child if they
have concerns. FRC staff provides the appropriate resource if children appear to have a delay.
Food Box Referrals. In collaboration with the Guadalupe Community Action Program (CAP), Parenting
Arizona provides 300 food boxes to FRC participants. FRC refer families to CAP, and families are
eligible to receive a food box for emergency assistance once per month.
Collaborations
Currently, Parenting Arizona is engaged in a wide variety of supports and resources in Maricopa County.
These include hospitals, schools, libraries, shelter services, transitional housing, food banks, and
community recreation programs. These diverse partnerships allow us not only to reach a maximum
amount of families, but also to provide comprehensive programs and tools for families to succeed.
Parenting Arizona aims to share existing infrastructure in order to wrap families in all-inclusive support.
Parenting Arizona is also a member of the Guadalupe Community Collaborative Partnership.
Outreach, Engagement, and Retention Practices for Father Fidelis Kuban Community
Page 8 of 59
Housing Authority of Maricopa County
Maricopa County HOME Agreement
CPLC Parenting Arizona use a community outreach model as a primary outreach and recruitment strategy
in the Father Fidelis Kuban community. This model offers an effective and culturally competent
recruitment method for providing services to diverse and traditionally hard to reach populations. The
validity of a community outreach model has been thoroughly piloted and researched as an effective
recruitment and intervention strategy nationally and internationally. This approach has demonstrated
success as a community health model in the Navajo Community and with migrant farm workers. In
addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that it is a key strategy for the delivery of
basic health care services and the dissemination of information by acting as the conduit between
community-based systems and the communities they serve. Three main strategies are implemented; 1)
identification, 2) canvassing, and 3) recruitment.
1) Identification. CPLC Parenting Arizona's initial task is to identify strategic social service
locations in the Father Fidelis Kuban community. The intended target population is families with
children who reside in this community, and the process entails various activities aimed at
identifying locations patronized by parents. FRC staff go where people congregate, such as health
fairs, churches, neighborhood meetings, Laundromats, gas stations, door-to-door, and grocery
stores, among other locations.
2) Neighborhood Canvassing. Parenting Arizona utilizes its knowledge and contacts in the town of
Guadalupe to compile a list of potential and appropriate locations to identify and recruit families.
One of the benefits of Parenting Arizona's experience in the existing communities is its extensive
knowledge of community providers, community agents, and community leaders that are a result
of our long-term presence as a provider in Maricopa County. Our programs and services have
established strong ties with institutions and providers. As a result, our partners and constituents
have benefited greatly because of the relationships that have been forged. These partnerships have
added tremendous value in complementing, enhancing, and expanding services to our target
populations.
3) Recruitment. Once all areas have been identified and documented, the FRC program staff engage
those systems through direct contact, presentations, and community marketing. Recruitment and
outreach presentation efforts are targeted to the following existing community systems:
Community Mediums Community-Based Providers Government Agencies
Churches Behavioral Health Agencies Public Health Agencies
Women, Infant, Children Health Clinics DES Offices
(WIC) offices
Grocery Stores Social Service Agencies RBHA's
Neighborhood Associations Media-Local Newspapers-Radio City & County Offices
Stations
Community Leaders Head Start Centers Schools & School Districts
Page 9 of 59
Housing Authority of Maricopa County
Maricopa County HOME Agreement
In addition, Parenting Arizona develops and posts flyers (in English and Spanish) around the community
with a focus on WIC offices, Community Centers, Hospitals/Medical Centers, local churches,
Laundromats, low-income housing complexes, grocery stores, Head Start Centers, schools serving low-
income residents, and other local behavioral health centers. The flyers include points of contact,
description of services, service intent and hours of operations (a copy of the flyer is attached). Outreach ·
and retention activities include monthly community events, free children books/literacy activities, free
computer resources, AHCCCS enrollment, food boxes, cultural activities, and referrals to ensure
continuity of care and improve family empowerment. Through these additional activities, Father Fidelis
Kuban residents have ready access to needed support that enable them to continue making progress
toward their family goals.
Evaluation
The results are documented and assessed through CPLC Parenting Arizona conducted surveys that are
quantitative as well as qualitative. Surveys gather data regarding the number of new activities available to
community, number of people participating in community activities, number of residents volunteering at
the FRC, number of businesses involved in community, and changes in community's attitude towards
community activities and willingness to participate in those activities. Results from surveys help enhance
and improve program effectiveness.

be satisfied in order for the provisions of this Declaration to constitute deed restrictions and

EXHIBIT B
Attachment 1: Affirmative Marketing Procedures
All correspondence, notices, and advertisements related to the County HOME funds shall contain either
the Equal Housing Opportunity logo or slogan.
Projects assisted with County HOME funds must comply with the following procedures for the
Affordability Period (depending on the source of program funds):
1. Declarant’s advertising vacant units must include the Equal Housing Opportunity logo or
statement. Advertising media must include general audience and minority-owned newspapers, radio,
television, brochures, leaflets, or may involve simply a sign in a window.
2. The Declarant shall implement special outreach efforts to solicit applications for vacant units
from protected persons in the housing market who are least likely to apply for the housing assisted
with County HOME funds. Special outreach efforts should be designed to notify potential applicants
regardless of existing neighborhood racial or ethnic patterns, location of housing in the metropolitan
area, price, or other factors, and welcome them to apply and have the opportunity to rent.
3. The Declarant shall use community organizations, places of worship, employment centers, fair
housing groups, housing counseling agencies, social service centers, or medical service centers as
resources for this outreach.
4. The Declarants must maintain a file containing all marketing efforts (i.e. copies of newspaper ads,
memos of phone calls, copies of letters, etc.) and the records to assess the results of these actions, and
make said documents available for inspection by the County.
5. The Declarant shall maintain a listing of all tenants residing in each unit at the time of application
submittal through the end of the compliance period.
The County will assess the affirmative marketing efforts of the Declarant by comparing predetermined
occupancy goals (based upon the area from which potential tenants will be drawn) to actual occupancy
data that the Declarants are required to maintain. Outreach efforts of the part of the Declarants will be
evaluated by reviewing marketing efforts.
The County will assess the efforts of the Declarant receiving County Housing Funds during the rent-up
period and marketing of the units by use of a compliance certification or personal monitoring visit to the
project according to the County’s monitoring schedule.
Where the Declarants fail to follow the affirmative marketing requirements, corrective actions shall
include extensive outreach efforts to appropriate contacts to achieve occupancy goals, or other actions the
County may deem necessary.
Each unit of general local government that subgrants the administration of this program must adopt
affirmative marketing procedures that meet the requirement in paragraphs (a) and (b) of 24 CFR 92.351.

EXHIBIT D: AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS
Properties assisted with HOME funds must be affordable to low-income purchasers or renters. The
period of affordability is determined by the type of property being occupied and the amount of HOME
funds invested.
Period of Affordability
The Period of Affordability for the HAMC Project funded by this Agreement will be seventeen (17)
years. The Period of Affordability will begin on the date that the County HOME assisted unit
Completion Report is entered into HUD’s Integrated and Disbursement Information System (IDIS
and will end seventeen (17) years from that date.
Rental Properties:
24 CFR. § 92.252 and § 92.253 apply to any part of the Work that includes construction or rehabilitation
of property for rental housing; the affordability requirements in 24 CFR. § 92.252 must be enforced by
deed restriction. These provisions establish rent limitations and restrictions that are applicable throughout
the seventeen (17) year Period of Affordability. Current fair market rents, maximum subsidy limits, and
utility deductions are addressed. For further information on annual updates to these limits, refer to
Exhibit A, Attachment 10 of this Agreement. HAMC must obtain all required tenant income information
and submit it to the County on an annual basis in accordance with 24 CFR. § 92.203(a)(1)(i) and this
Agreement. HAMC will ensure that all leases for the properties comply with the requirements of 24 CFR.
§ 92.253-Tenant Protections and Selection. For the purposes of this Agreement, HAMC and the County
have agreed that all three (3) County HOME assisted units will be occupied by households whose income
is at or below 60% of the area median income throughout the Period of Affordability.

Exhibit F
Attachment 1: Affirmative Marketing Policy & Procedures
Policy
The public, property owners, and potential tenants will be informed about affirmative marketing aspects
of the HOME program, its regulations and the goal of attracting persons from all racial, ethnic, and
gender groups in the housing market area to the available housing. This policy applies equally to all
recipients of HOME funds.
Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to establish a standard affirmative marketing procedure for HOME- assisted
housing containing five (5) or more housing units.
Procedure
A. Methods for informing the public, property owners, and potential tenants about the Maricopa
County’s (“County”) Affirmative Marketing Policy:
1. Unit occupants are subject to the Affirmative Marketing Procedures and the Tenant
Notification Procedures (outlined in the County’s “Administrative Procedures for Provision
of Tenant Assistance under the Rental Rehabilitation Program”) that are available upon
request.
2. HAMC will mention the HOME program, its regulations, and the goal of attracting persons
of all racial, ethnic, and gender groups in all articles and press releases published in the
Arizona Republic or other local newspapers, dealing with the program.
3. HAMC will inform tenants and applicants about the affirmative marketing aspects of the
HOME Program upon initial contact, whether by telephone, letter or brochure. HAMC may
also reach tenants and applicants through articles in local newspapers, especially in the real
estate section, and will include information about affirmative marketing in such articles.
HAMC will include a statement about the affirmative marketing requirements of the program
in all brochures, letters, and other communications, sent to potential applicants for County
HOME assisted units.
B. Requirements and practices regarding affirmative marketing to be carried out by property owners:
1. HAMC will carry out affirmative marketing procedures in advertising County HOME
assisted units and attracting tenants of all racial, ethnic, and gender groups. When advertising
rental rehab units, HAMC will state in its ads that Section 8 tenants are welcome in the units.
County HOME assisted units to be occupied by Section 8 voucher holders are governed by
the County’s Equal Opportunity Housing Plan which is available upon request.
2. In addition to requiring the affirmation of the certification by HAMC in Section 6 of the
Contractor Certifications attached as Exhibit G to the Agreement, the County will provide a
list of groups HAMC should contact when marketing the availability of its units to persons
least likely to apply. That list will include an appropriate local newspaper such as the
Arizona Republic, the Arizona Informant, or Mesa Tribune. HAMC will also list the HOME
program and the County’s Housing Department contact information in the advertisements.
Page 52 of 59
HAMC
Maricopa County HOME Agreement
C. The County will assist HAMC in its efforts to inform and solicit applications from persons who are
not likely to apply to be tenants without the assistance of special outreach efforts. The County has
contacts in a number of public agencies that can be used as well as community gathering spots,
such as supermarkets, restaurants, senior centers, and laundromats, which often have bulletin
boards used to advertise apartment rentals. In addition, the County may use various media, such as
TV and radio public service spots, and local newspapers, to announce the program and availability
of units rehabilitated with HUD funding.
D. Affirmative Marketing Record-Keeping and Assessment:
1. The County will keep records on all program announcements, brochures distribution, articles
and radio/TV spots relating to the HOME Program for a period of ___________________.
The County will ask persons calling to inquire about the availability of County HOME
assisted units how they first heard about the program and whether they are aware of the
Affirmative Marketing Policy.
2. HAMC will keep records on any advertising of the County HOME assisted units, whether by
ad in a newspaper, a posted notice, or a sign in the unit window for a period of
________________, so that the County may confirm compliance with this Affirmative
Marketing Policy.
3. In addition, HAMC will provide information to the County on the lease status of County
HOME assisted units, so that the availability of the units for affirmative marketing efforts is
known.
4. HAMC will document and maintain a record throughout the Period of Affordability the race,
ethnicity and gender of the head of household of all tenants placed in a County HOME
assisted unit.
5. HAMC’ failure to demonstrate good faith in the correction of a violation of this Affirmative
Marketing Policy may result in termination of this Agreement and disqualification from
future funding under the HOME program.

HAMC
Maricopa County HOME Agreement
Exhibit F
Attachment 2: Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise Policy & Procedures
The County complies with HUD’s responsibilities under Executive Orders 11625, 12432 (concerning
Minority Business Enterprises) and 12138 (concerning Women’s Business Enterprises), making efforts to
encourage the use of minority and women’s business enterprises in connection with HOME-funded
activities. The purpose of this policy is to take affirmative steps to assure that small and minority
businesses, and women’s business enterprises are used, when possible, as a source of supplies, equipment,
construction and service. HAMC will take the following affirmative steps:
1. Include qualified small and minority businesses, and women’s business enterprises on solicitation
lists;
2. Assure that small and minority businesses, and women’s business enterprises, are solicited
whenever they are potential sources, particularly for purchases of supplies and materials;
3. When economically feasible, divide total requirements into smaller tasks or quantities to permit
maximum participation by small and minority business, and women’s business enterprises;
4. Where the requirement permits, establish delivery schedules, which encourage participation by
small and minority business, and women’s business enterprises; and
5. If any subcontracts are to be let, require the prime contractor to take the affirmative steps in 1
through 4 above.
6. The County will take similar appropriate affirmative action in support of small and minority
businesses, and women’s business enterprises.

EXHIBIT G: CONTRACTOR CERTIFICATIONS
Section 1. 24 CFR. § 135.38 - SECTION 3 REQUIREMENTS. In this Section (1) HAMC is referred
to as the “contractor” and such term also includes HAMC’s General Contractor, Subcontractors,
consultants, architects, engineers and consultants, if applicable.
A. The work to be performed under this Agreement is subject to the requirements of section 3 of the
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, 12 U.S.C. 170lu (Section 3). The
purpose of Section 3 is to ensure that employment and other economic opportunities generated by
HUD assistance or HUD-assisted projects covered by Section 3, will, to the greatest extent
feasible, be directed to low- and very low-income persons, particularly persons who are recipients
of HUD assistance for housing.
B. The parties to the Agreement agree to comply with HUD’s regulations in 24 CFR. Part 135,
which implement Section 3. As evidenced by their execution of the Agreement, the parties to the
Agreement certify that they are under no contractual or other impediment that would prevent
them from complying with the part 135 regulations.
C. The contractor agrees to send to each labor organization or representative or workers with which
the contractor has a collective bargaining agreement or other understanding, if any, a notice
advising the labor organization or workers’ representative of the contractor’s commitments under
this Section 3 clause, and will post copies of the notice in conspicuous places at the work site
where both employees and applicants for training and employment positions can see the notice.
The notice will describe the Section 3 preference, set forth minimum number and job titles
subject to hire, availability of apprenticeship and training positions, the qualifications for each,
and the name and location of the person(s) taking applications for each of the positions; and the
anticipated date the work shall begin.
D. The contractor agrees to include this Section 3 clause in every subcontract subject to compliance
with regulations in 24 CFR. Part 135, and agrees to take appropriate action, as provided in an
applicable provision of the subcontract or in this Section 3 clause, upon a finding that the
subcontractor is in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR. Part 135. The contractor will not
subcontract with any subcontractor where the contractor has notice or knowledge that the
subcontractor has been found in violation of the regulations in 24 CFR. Part 135.
E. The contractor will certify that any vacant employment positions, including training positions,
that are filled (1) after the contractor is selected but before the contract is executed, and (2) with
persons other than those to whom the regulations of 24 CFR. Part 135 require employment
opportunities to be directed, were not filled to circumvent the contractor’s obligations under 24
CFR. Part 135.
F. Noncompliance with HUD’s regulations in 24 CFR. Part 135 may result in sanctions, termination
of this contract for default, and debarment or suspension from future HUD assisted contracts.
G. With respect to work performed in connection with section 3 covered Indian housing assistance,
section 7(b) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450(e)
also applies to the work to be performed under this contract. Section 7(b) requires that to the
greatest extent feasible (i) preference and opportunities for training and employment shall be
given to Indians, and (ii) preference in the award of contracts and subcontracts shall be given to
Indian organizations and Indian-owned Economic Enterprises. Parties to this contract that are
subject to the provisions of section 3 and section 7(b) agree to comply with section 3 to the
Page 55 of 59
HAMC
Maricopa County HOME Agreement
maximum extent feasible, but not in derogation of compliance with section 7(b).
Section 2. Compliance with Federal and State Immigration Laws
A. HAMC agrees to comply with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) in
performance under this Agreement and to permit the County or its agents to inspect personnel
records to verify such compliance.
B. Under the provisions of A.R.S. § 41-4401, HAMC hereby warrants to the County that the
HAMC and each of its subcontractors (“Subcontractors”) will comply with, and are contractually
obligated to comply with, all Federal immigration laws and regulations that relate to their
employees and A.R.S. § 23-214(A) (“Contractor Immigration Warranty”).
C. A breach of the Contractor Immigration Warranty will constitute a material breach of this
Agreement and will subject the HAMC to penalties up to and including termination of this
Agreement at the sole discretion of the County.
D. The County retains the legal right to inspect the papers of any HAMC or Subcontractor employee
who works on this Agreement to ensure that the HAMC or Subcontractor is complying with the
Contractor Immigration Warranty. HAMC agrees to assist the County in regard to any such
inspections.
E. The County may, at its sole discretion, conduct random verification of the employment records of
HAMC and any subcontractors to ensure compliance with the Contractor Immigration Warranty.
HAMC agrees to assist the County in regard to any random verification performed.
F. Neither the HAMC nor any of the Subcontractors shall be deemed to have materially breached
the Contractor Immigration Warranty if HAMC or Subcontractor establishes that it has complied
with the employment verification provisions prescribed by sections 274A and 274B of the
Federal Immigration and Nationality Act and the E-Verify requirements prescribed by A.R.S. §
23-214, Subsection A.
Section 3. Drug-Free Workplace Requirements. The certification set out below is a material
representation upon which reliance is placed by HUD in awarding the grant. If it is later determined that
HAMC knowingly rendered a false certification, or otherwise violates the requirements of the Drug-Free
Workplace Act, HUD, in addition to any other remedies available to the Federal Government, may take
action authorized under the Drug-Free Workplace Act. HAMC certifies that it will use best efforts to
provide a drug-free workplace by doing all of the following:
A. Publishing a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution,
dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the HAMC’s workplace
and specifying the actions that will be taken against employees for violation of such prohibition.
B. Establishing a drug-free awareness program to inform employees about:
1. The dangers of drug abuse in the workplace;
2. HAMC’s policy of maintaining a drug-free workplace;
3. Any available drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs; and
4. The penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug abuse violations occurring
in the workplace.

such knowledge and belief to be that of the Executive Director and to the extent such information has
been brought to the attention of the Executive Director, that:

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 the awarding of any federal contract, the making of any federal grant, the making
of any federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension,
continuation, renewal, amendment or modification of any federal contract, grant, loan or
cooperative agreement.
B. If any funds other than federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for

Section 5. Minority and Women’s Business Enterprise Policy (Region IX – San Francisco)
A. Pursuant to the County’s responsibilities under Executive Order 11625, 12432 and 12138 and in
support of directives from the Secretary of HUD, Region IX has developed an affirmative action
policy to further full participation of minority and women-owned business enterprise
(MBE/WBE) in all federally funded programs, including: HOME Investment Partnerships
Program. Such affirmative action and participation is specifically required under 2 CFR 200 et
seq. referenced in the applicable regulations for the above programs.
B. HAMC certifies that it will take affirmative steps to assure that small and minority businesses and
women’s business enterprises are utilized when possible as sources of supplies, equipment,
construction and services. Affirmative steps shall include the following:
1. Including qualified small and minority businesses on solicitation lists, e.g., solicitation of
bidding for construction, professional services or rehabilitation contracts.
2. Assuring that small and minority businesses are solicited whenever they are potential
sources, particularly for purchase of supplies and materials.
3. When economically feasible, dividing total requirements into smaller tasks or quantities
so as to permit maximum small and minority business participation.
4. Where the requirement permits, establishing delivery schedules that will encourage
participation by small and minority business.
5. If any subcontracts are to be let, requiring the prime contractor to take the affirmative
steps in 1 through 4 above.
C. HAMC shall take similar appropriate affirmative action in support of women’s business
enterprises.
