Maricopa County Human Services Department
HB 2008 Working Procedures
January 2010
The Arizona State Legislature passed HB 2006 (A.R.S. § 1-501 and § 1-502), which states that
public benefits shall only be provided to eligible applicants who are citizens of the United States, or
are Qualified Non-Citizens. Therefore:
• All applicants authorized to receive public benefits must provide documentation of their
lawful presence In the United States through a verification process.
• All eligible applicants must also execute a sworn affidavit stating that the documentation
provided during the verification process to prove citizenship or qualified non-citizen is true.
• Employees of the COUNTY and its subcontracted entities are required to report "discovered
violations" of federal immigration law.
The Department is committed to administering the law completely and fairly. This set of
procedures and forms establishes policy for all employees and subcontracted Community Action
Program (CAP) agencies to follow.
The public benefits that have been identified by the funding sources as services subject to this
requirement include:
• Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN)
• Short Term Crisis Services/TANF (STCS/TANF)
• Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) (including weatherization)
• Department of Energy (DOE) Weatherization
• Arizona Department of Housing/Housing Trust Fund (ADOH/HTF)
• Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP)
• Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Homeless Prevention & Rapid Re-Housing
Program (HPRP)
• HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) HUD
The law requires that the Department's employees and subcontracted agencies perform three
distinct steps prior to providing services to authorized or eligible applicants for these specified
funded services. Those key steps are:
1. Request evidence of U.S. citizenship and/or immigration status of the authorized or elioible
applicant or child if STCSTTANF.
2. Require eligible applicants to execute a sworn affidavit stating the documentation provided
is true.
Maricopa County Human Services Department/Community Development Division 32 of 59
Section II Special Provisions
3. Report violations of Federal Immigration law to the Federal Immigration Authorities
It is very important that all employees and subcontractors strictly follow this policy in all cases. HB
2008 (A.R.S. § 1-501 and § 1-502) contains serious penalties for non-compliance. Failure to report
suspected violations of Federal Immigration Law by an employee is a Class 2 misdemeanor. If that
employee's supervisor knew of the failure to report and failed to direct the employee to make the
report, the supervisor is also guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.
Each subcontracted agency is also responsible for developing their own procedures to ensure
compliance with A.R.S. § 1-501 and § 1-502 arid A.R.S. § 46-140.01. The subcontractor agency
may need to be advised by their legal counsel. If these differ from those established by the
Department, the Department must be notified of and approve these procedures prior to their
implementation.
The following procedure is a "work in progress. The procedure may change as interpretations of
HB 2008 (A.R.S. § 1-501 and § 1-502) are updated. The following procedure is required by the
Department.
Procedures
These are the requirements that authorized or eligible applicants for Department-funded services
must fulfill in order to qualify to receive a specifically funded service.
1. Evidence of U.S. citizenship and/or immigration status of the authorized or eligible applicant
(or child if STCS/TANF) must be provided.
2. Eligible applicants must execute a sworn affidavit stating the documentation provided is
true.
These procedures must be followed for Department-funded services that are governed by HB 2008
(A.R.S. § 1-501 and § 1-502) specifically, the following fund sources:
• Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN)
• Short Term Crisis ServicesiTANF (STCS/TANF)
• Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) (including weatherization)
• Department of Energy (DOE)
• Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP)
• Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Homeless Prevention & Rapid Re-Housing
Program (HPRP)
• Arizona Department of Housing/Housing Trust Fund (ADOH/HTF)
If the funding source is not listed, then the requirements in HB 2008 do not apply to the funding

AFFORDABILITY
(Does not apply to single family rehabilitation)
The CHDO agrees to comply with the specific provisions of 24 CFR Part 92, Subpart F, in addition to the
following requirements.
I. HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAMS (Homebuyers)
Properties must be affordable to low-income purchasers. Affordability is achieved if the monthly
payments for principal, interest, property taxes and insurance do not exceed 30% of the gross income
of a homebuyer.
The affordability standard is applied to both the original homebuyer and subsequent purchaser. The
purchase agreement must require repayment of the funds if the housing does not meet the affordability
requirements for the specified time period. The term of affordability for subsequent purchase single-
family projects shall be up to 15 years after the property Is sold to the new homeowner. The actual term
of the affordability standard is determined by the type of property being occupied as a new
homeownership initiative. If the property is new construction the term is 15 years. If the property is an
existing structure, the term of affordability is 5 years if $15,000 or less of HOME money is utilized, 10
years for $15,000 to $40,000 and 15 years for amounts over $40,000. These terms of affordability
remain in existence from the time of initial purchase by the original homebuyer.
Any changes to this policy will be clearly defined in the statement of work_
RENTAL PROGRAMS *
Every HOME assisted unit is subject to rent controls, which insure rents are affordable to low-income
families. There are two rental rates assigned to the HOME assisted units known as High and Low
rental rates.
High rental rates are required for up to 80% of the HOME assisted rental units and must be the lesser
of
Section 8 Fair Market Rents (FMR's) or area-wide exception rents for existing housing minus
tenant paid utilities;
OR
Rents which are 30% of the adjusted income for households at 65% of median income or area-
wide exception rents minus tenant paid utilities;
Low rental rates are required for at least 20% of the HOME assisted units in projects with five or more
HOME assisted units and must be
Equal to 30% of annual incomes for households at 50% of median income minus tenant paid
utilities.
Note: Calculations and current standards for FMR's, status of area rent exceptions, median income
standards and High or Low rental rates vary annually. The most current figures must be used
throughout the period of affordability. These can be obtained from the /ace/ HUD Office or the
ADMINISTRATOR.
Maricopa County Human Services Department/Community Development Division 35 of 59
Section II Special Provisions
UTILITIES -
The maximum allowable rent must be reduced if the tenant pays for utilities. The FMR's provided on
which rental rates are calculated include all utilities except telephone. (Included in FMR are allowances
for water, gas, electrical and associated combined utility fees for municipal trash removal, etc.) If the
tenant pays for any of them then the rent must be reduced accordingly. Any proposed utility
adjustment other than a reduction of rent for tenant paid utilities must be approved by the AGENCY in
advance.
BASIC CALCULATION FOR AFFORDABLE HOME RENTAL RATES -
High rent calculations for 80% of HOME assisted units:
Obtain the area FMR's by bedroom size and/or any area wide rent exceptions. This information Is
available from the ADMINISTRATOR. Obtain the maximum rents, based an the number of bedrooms
for families earning 65% of median income. Again, this information is available from the
ADMINISTRATOR. The lower of the above two calculations provides the high rent for 80% of the
HOME assisted units.
Low rent calculations for 20% of HOME assisted units:
Obtain from the ADMINISTRATOR the rents allowed by bedroom size for families earning 50% of
median income. This is your low rent rate for 20% of the HOME assisted units.
Adjust this figure by subtracting any tenant paid utilities.
TERM OF RENT CONTROL -*
Rent control term is determined by the average amount of HOME investment per unit as follows:
(a) All New Construction or Acquisition of New Housing has a minimum affordability period of 20
years.
(b) Where units are rehabilitated or purchased as existing units the following terms of affordability
apply:
(1) Where the average investment per unit is less than $15,000 there is a 5-year minimum
period of affordability.
(2) Where the average investment per unit is $15,000 to $40,000 there is a 10-year
minimum period of affordability.
(3) Where the average investment per unit Is over $40,000 there is a 15-year minimum
period of affordability.
If the individual project is FHA insured, the term of affordability is the term of the mortgage insurance or
the specified minimum for the investment, whichever is greater.
GENERAL RENT AFFORDABILITY CONSIDERATIONS -
Monthly rents and unit allowances must be recalculated annually by the owner of the units.
Annual publications of Fair Market Rents (FMR) are available from HUD or the ADMINISTRATOR, so
new rent rates can be established. This means according to the FMR HOME High or Low rental rates
may increase or decrease.

BASIC THRESHOLD REQUIREMENTS
MAXIMUM PER UNIT SUBSIDY
General outline of permitted activities fall under one of the three types of projects below. Specific
requirements are listed in 24 CFR Part 92 and appropriate chapter of the 1997 HOME Program
Primer included herein. Minimum per unit investment must be no less than $1000.
1. Home Owner Rehabilitation (not permitted as a CHDO activity)
a. The homeowner's income may not exceed 80% of the median income for Phoenix.
b. Owners must occupy the home as their principal residence.
c. The appraised value of the home after rehabilitation must not exceed the HUD section
203(b) mortgage limit.
d. The maximum HOME subsidy is 100% of the Section 221(d) 3 mortgage limits.
2. Homebuyers
a. The purchaser's income may not exceed 80% of the median income for Phoenix.
b. The purchaser must occupy the new property as their principal residence.
c. The appraised value of the property to be acquired must not exceed 95% of the HUD
section 203(b) limits for the type of housing being purchased. Any rehabilitation costs
must also be included in this limit.
d. The property must remain affordable to a subsequent buyer and the approved Maricopa
HOME Consortium Resale restrictions must be included in the purchase deed
restrictions.
3. Rental Housing Production
a. Rents must be controlled in accordance with Section 8 guidelines for the Phoenix area.
(See Affordability, Attachment B)
b. Tenants must be low income,
1) 20% of units must be occupied by persons whose income is at or below 50% of
the Phoenix median income.
2) Persons whose income is below 80% of the Phoenix median income must occupy
the balance of the units. if there are more than five units in a project, then at least
20% of the units must be occupied by persons whose income is at or below 50%
of the Phoenix median income.
c. Maximum subsidy limits established by HUD cannot be exceeded.
Maricopa County Human Services Department/Community Development Division 38 of 59
Section II Special Provisions
d. Special accessibility requirements apply to some rental projects.
4. Energy Saying Requirements
HUD funds utilized in housing programs require specific energy efficient procedures. All new
construction must comply with the current edition of Council of American Building Officials
(CABO) Model Energy Code in accordance with Part 92.251 and the International Energy
Conservation Code. Substantial rehabilitation must comply with the HUD Cost Effective
Energy Conservation and Effectiveness Standards (CEECS) in 24 Part 39. In other
rehabilitation activities, the below measures are to be incorporated that are cost effective.
Independent studies by public finance and economic development firms have proved that up
front energy saving techniques are amortized in a few years by savings in resultant lower
electric and gas utility payments made by residents of affordable housing.
In order to comply with these energy saving requirements in the Phoenix area, it will be
necessary to provide an insulation envelope that includes R-19 values in walls and R-30 in
ceilings/roofs. An approved vapor barrier must be included with the exterior insulation. All
cracks and voids in the exterior building envelope shall be sealed to prevent air infiltration that
can count for as much as 40% of energy loss. Ducts installed in uncooled spaces must have
R-6 insulation. Thermostats are to be installed that control temperature ranges from 55 0 to
85° F and located away from heat generating devices such as refrigerators. In addition,
windows will be reduced in size to the minimum area and shall be double-glazing. Sun struck
windows are to be covered with sun screens.
Additional considerations might include the use of vinyl framed windows (with improved
ultraviolet barrier provisions) in lieu of wood or metal framing as they are generally lower cost
and do not require periodic painting. Limit the use of dark colored roofs and walls as they
absorb heat to a greater degree. The use of high-efficiency energy heat pumps will provide
heating and cooling at the same installation cost of separate evaporative cooler and furnace
systems. Ceiling fans will extend the comfort range of occupants to the low 80's and operate
at low cost. If reduced air infiltration envelopes described above are installed, the energy
costs have been demonstrated to be the same or lower for the average informed homeowner
utilizing heat pump systems. Experience has demonstrated significant lack of proper
maintenance of evaporative coolers that ultimately cause extensive roof repairs and frequent
cooler replacements, increasing long-term costs to the homeowner.
HUD has provided a Model Energy Code Compliance Guide, MECheck Manual, HUD-1560-
RM dated October 1995. The specific features of individual house plans and designs can be
individually reviewed with a software version of MECheck, however the above measures
prescribed in the Compliance Guide will satisfy the required energy savings in a vast majority
of affordable home plans that are utilized in the Phoenix area.
5. Lead-Based Hazards
Any activity that receives HOME funds must comply with 24 CFR 92.355 § Part 35, including
first-time homebuyer programs and rental assistance programs, as well as rehab activities.
HOME funds can be targeted to specific units; however, all units in the assisted building are
subject to lead-based paint hazard controls.
Notification of lead-based hazards is required for tenants, purchasers, and owner-occupants
of all HOME assisted units constructed before 1978.
Maricopa County Human Services Department/Community Development Division 39 of 59
Section H Special Provisions
Defective paint surfaces in all units constructed before 1978 will be inspected regardless of
the occupancy of the unit.
If the unit houses a child under 7 who has an EBB greater than 25, all interior and exterior
chewable surfaces must be tested with an XRF tester. If lead-based paint is found, the
surfaces must be treated according to Part 35. It is permissible to not test and treat all
surfaces according to Part 35.
6. Property Standards
All housing will meet property standards of 24 CFR 92.251, upon project completion and
during the period of affordability.
Housing that is constructed or rehabilitated with HUD funds must meet all applicable local
codes, rehabilitation standards, ordinances and zoning ordinances at the time of project
completion. Housing must be safe, decent and sanitary.

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS
Organizations that are religious or faith-based are eligible, on the same basis as any other
organization, to participate in the HOME program. Organizations funded under the HOME
program may not engage in inherently religious activities, such as worship, religious instruction, or
proselytization, as part of the assistance funded with HOME. If an organization conducts such
activities, the activities must be offered separately, in time or location, from the HOME funded
assistance and participation must be voluntary for the beneficiaries of the HOME assistance
provided. HOME funds may not be used to support any inherently religious activities. A HOME-
funded organization shall not discriminate, in providing program assistance, against a program
beneficiary or prospective program beneficiary on the basis of religion or religious belief.
A religious organization that participates in the HOME program will retain its independence from
federal, state and local governments, and may continue to carry out its mission including the
definition, practice and expression of its religious beliefs. A HOME-funded religious organization
retains its authority over its internal governance and it may retain religious terms in its
organization's name, select its board members on a religious basis and include religious
references in its mission statements and other governing documents. Faith-based organizations
may use space in their facilities, without removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or other religious
symbols.
HOME funds may not be used for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures to the
extent that those structures are used for inherently religious activities. HOME funds may be used
for the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of structures only to the extent that those
structures are used for conducting eligible activities under this part. Where a structure is used for
both eligible and inherently religious activities, HOME funds may not exceed the cost of those
portions of the acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation that are attributable to eligible activities in
accordance with the cost accounting requirements applicable to HOME funds. Sanctuaries,
chapels, or other rooms used as its principal place of worship, are ineligible for HOME-funded
improvements. Disposition of real property after the term of the grant, or any change in use of the
property during the term of the grant, is subject to government-wide regulations governing real
property disposition. (See 24 CFR Parts 84 and 85).

SECTION III WORK STATEMENT
Description of Specific Activity Continued
Development Process and Resale Provisions
In addition to the requirements set forth in Section IV Compensation, Newtown will execute a
Deed of Trust and Note provided by the City of Tempe and naming the city as Beneficiary in
order to secure any funds provided to Newtown as reimbursement for acquisition costs.
Upon resale of the property to an eligible buyer the city will provide a Deed of Release and
Reconveyance (By Beneficiary) for the secured acquisition funds.
Resale provisions will be used to ensure compliance with the period of affordability required by
HUD at 92.254 of the HOME regulation. The affordability restrictions will be secured by a
Community Land Trust (CLT) Ground Lease and a Declaration of Affirmative Land Use
Restrictions.
Community Land Trust (CLT) Ground Lease. Completed units shall be sold through Newtown's
Community Land Trust (CLT) program in which the buyer purchases the improvements only and
enters into a 99-year CLT Ground Lease with DEVELOPER. The CLT Ground Lease contains
provisions that require the housing to be used as the buyer's principal residence and restricts
resale to only Low-Income buyers. In addition, the CLT Ground Lease has a shared-
appreciation provision that limits the sale price of the housing and helps ensure affordability for
future buyers. A Memorandum of Ground Lease and Right of First Refusal are recorded. A
'Performance" Deed of Trust is also recorded with the DEVELOPER as the beneficiary; this
ensures the DEVELOPER is notified in the event the owner of the improvements attempts to
refinance or transfer the property.
The shared appreciation provision conforms to Maricopa HOME Consortium Recapture / Resale
Provisions: 'Fair Return" for leasehold properties is defined as the lessees purchase price, plus
25% of the lessee's share of the increase in leasehold value at time of resale based on a
leasehold valuation performed by a duly licensed appraiser.
Declaration of Affirmative Land Use Restrictions. Upon sale to an eligible buyer, a Declaration of
Affirmative Land Use Restrictive Covenant for HOME Proceeds is executed between the CITY
and DEVELOPER and recorded against the land to secure the Period of Affordability as
required by HUD. The Period of Affordability is based on the total amount of HOME funds
invested in the housing.
