SCOPE OF WORK 
2.1 
Project Description: The CHDO will acquire and rehabilitate four (4) single-family 
houses within Maricopa County’s Urban County Cities or County Islands.. This 
project is a scattered-site single-family homeownership project. The Parties 
agree to execute an addendum at the time the property is identified. An 
Addendum to this Agreement identifying individual properties by street address 
for participation in the CHDO's Community Land Trust Program (CLT) will be 
executed before funding is made available regarding each property. Funds will 
be paid to the CHDO only after it has met the commitment requirements as set 
forth in 24 C.F.R. § 92.2 (1) and (2), respectively, and is prepared to commence 
rehabilitation within twelve months.  
2.1.1 Funds for rehabilitation are obligated by completing a detailed set of 
specifications (work write-up) and completing a detailed rehabilitation 
cost estimate based upon those specifications. The cost estimate may 
include a contingency for construction change orders. The CHDO must 
inspect each property prior to occupancy and at project completion to 
ensure compliance with applicable standards and codes. Each property 
must be free from any defects that pose a danger to the health and 
safety of occupants and must meet written rehabilitation standards and 
local codes and ordinances at project completion. Copies of the final 
inspection report must be retained in the project files and submitted to 
the County upon submitting a completion report. 
2.1.2 After rehabilitation is completed, the homes will be sold to eligible low-
income first-time homebuyers. Properties will be acquired using the 
CHDO’s line of credit, following environmental review approval from 
Maricopa County. 
2.1.3 In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 4 (Compensation), the 
CHDO will execute a Deed of Trust and Note provided by the County and 
naming the County as the Beneficiary in order to secure any funds provided 
to the CHDO as reimbursement for acquisition costs.  Upon sale of the 
property to an eligible buyer, the County will provide a Deed of Release 
and Re-conveyance (By Beneficiary) for the secured acquisition funds. 
2.1.4 Resale provisions:  Resale provisions will be used to ensure 
compliance with the period of affordability required by HUD at 92.254

Contract No. C-22-22-178-X-01 
 
Amendment No. 1

of the HOME regulations. The affordability restrictions will be secured 
by the CLT Ground Lease and a Declaration of Affirmative Land Use 
Restrictions. 
2.1.5 The completed units will be sold through the CLT program in which the 
buyer only purchases the improvements to the real property and enters 
into a 99-year CLT Ground Lease with the CHDO. The CLT Ground 
Lease contains provisions that require that the housing to be used as 
the buyer's principal residence and restricts resale/ transfer to only Low-
Income buyers. In addition, the CLT Ground Lease contains 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 will be recorded. A "Performance" Deed of 
Trust” will also be recorded naming the CHDO as the Beneficiary; 
ensuring the CHDO is notified in the event the owner of the home 
attempts to refinance or transfer the property. 
2.1.6 The shared appreciation provision will conform to the Maricopa HOME 
Consortium’s Resale Provisions. "Fair Return" for leasehold properties 
is defined as the lessee’s 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 licensed appraiser. 
2.1.7 Upon sale to an eligible buyer, a Declaration of Affirmative Land Use 
Restrictive Covenant for HOME Project will be executed between the 
buyer and the CHDO and recorded against the land to secure the 
Period of Affordability as required by HUD. The Period of Affordability 
will be based on the total amount of HOME funds invested in the 
housing. 
2.1.8 Eligible buyers will be required to complete an approved homebuyer 
education class, homeownership counseling, and a CLT orientation.  
The CLT orientation fully explains the ground lease, resale restrictions, 
shared equity, and all other provisions of the CLT program.  Once a 
purchase contract is approved, the CHDO will execute a Homebuyer 
Resale Agreement with the approved low-income homebuyer. 
2.2 
Project Purpose: The Project will create homeownership opportunities for five low-
income households, which is rated a high priority in the Consolidated Plan.  
2.3 
Project Beneficiaries: Five first-time homebuyers at or below 80% of the area 
median income will benefit from this Project. Beneficiaries’ income eligibility will be 
verified by the CHDO’s staff and will comply with 24 C.F.R §. 92.203(d)(1).  
2.4 
Eligible buyers will be required to complete an approved homebuyer education 
class and homeownership counseling.  
2.5 
Project Staff: The CHDO shall maintain staff qualified to perform the duties of the 
project. The CHDO shall immediately notify the County regarding any changes in 
staff committed to the project. The County reserves the right to review the 
qualifications of new staff committed to the project after the execution of this 
Agreement. The CHDO will be responsible for all communications with the 
Maricopa HOME Consortium, providing all updates and as needed reporting. In 
addition, any complaints will be the responsibility of the CHDO.  
2.6 
Subcontractors: The CHDO will oversee every aspect of the project. This oversight 
includes, but is not limited to, day-to-day operations; preparing budgets; managing 
the budget, timeline, and change orders; issuing a Request for Proposal and

selecting the general contractor and Subcontractors. The CHDO shall select 
Subcontractors in accordance with the Administrative Requirements of this 
Agreement. The CHDO shall contract with responsible and qualified 
Subcontractors to perform the duties of the project. The CHDO shall verify the 
qualifications of each Subcontractor through license verification, references, and 
SAM.gov.  
2.7 
Project Affordability: The family or individual acquiring the housing must qualify as 
low-income, as defined in 24 C.F.R. § 5.609, and maintain the housing as the 
principal residence throughout the period of affordability, which shall be for a period 
of 15 years from the date that the completion report is entered into HUD’s 
Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). Resale provisions will be 
used to ensure compliance with the period of affordability required by HUD at 24 
C.F.R. § 92.254 of the HOME regulations.  
2.7.1 Upon sale to an eligible buyer, a Declaration of Affirmative Land Use 
Restrictions (LURA) will be executed to secure the Period of Affordability 
and require the housing to be used as the buyer’s principal residence, as 
required by HUD. The LURA will include a due on sale clause to ensure 
that funds are recaptured if the property is sold during the Affordability 
Period. The CHDO will use it’s Right of First Refusal to purchase the home 
and resell the home to an eligible low-income homebuyer.
