(C#________________)

This Intergovernmental Agreement (“Agreement”) is between the Cities of Avondale,
Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, Surprise, and Tempe, the Town of Gilbert; and,
the County of Maricopa through its Human Services Department, (the “County”)
(collectively, the “Consortium,” or the “Maricopa HOME Consortium,” or the “Parties”;
and, individually, “Consortium Member” or “Party”).

WHEREAS, the National Affordable Housing Act provides that units of local government
that are geographically contiguous may form a consortium for the purposes of receiving
an allocation to participate in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (hereinafter
“HOME Program”) to be funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (“HUD”); and,

WHEREAS, the proposed level of federal funding is unlikely to provide grants to
individual municipalities, but by cooperating in consortium they may as a group become
eligible participants in the HOME Program; and,

WHEREAS, the consortium of geographically contiguous local governments has notified
HUD of their intention to participate in the HOME Program by March 1, 2020; and,

WHEREAS, one local government entity must be designated to act as a representative
for all member local governments for the HOME Program; and,

WHEREAS, this Agreement constitutes an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) under
Arizona law, meets the criteria pursuant to 24 CFR 92.101, and the Consortium
Members are authorized to enter into this Agreement by A.R.S. §11-951 et seq. and
adopt this Agreement by their respective legislative bodies;

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Parties hereby enter into a consortium for
the purposes of receiving an allocation from the HOME Program and agree to
cooperate to undertake or to assist in undertaking housing assistance activities for the
HOME Program. This Consortium shall be known as the Maricopa HOME Consortium
(“Consortium”). The County shall be designated as Lead Agency of the Maricopa HOME
Consortium. It is further resolved that:

1.
This Agreement is for funding HOME Program activities for the federal fiscal
years 2021 through 2023. The initial term of this Agreement is from July 1, 2021
to June 30, 2023, or until the HOME program funds from each of the federal
fiscal years of the qualification period are closed out pursuant to 24 CFR 92.507,
whichever is later. This Agreement shall automatically be renewed for the
Consortium’s participation in successive qualification periods of three federal
fiscal years. No later than the date specified by HUD’s Consortia designation
notice, the County shall notify each Party in writing of its right to decide not to
participate in the Consortium for the next qualification period and the County

MARICOPA HOME CONSORTIUM
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT

Page 2 of 21

shall send a copy of each notification to the HUD Field Office.

(a)
The Lead Agency will notify each Consortium Member in writing at least
180 days prior to the renewal date of its right to not participate in the
successive three-year Agreement period by the date specified in HUD’s
Consortia designation notices. The Lead Agency will forward a copy of the
written notifications to the HUD Field Office prior to the renewal effective
date. The automatic renewal provision will be void if the County fails to
notify a Party of its right not to participate for the next qualification period
or the County fails to submit a copy of each amendment to the Agreement
as required.
(b)
The Consortium Members may amend this Agreement upon the approval
of the undersigned current Consortium Members. Any amendments to the
Agreement must be adopted and submitted to HUD prior to the automatic
renewal effective date.
(c)
Before the beginning of each renewal date, the County will submit to the
HUD Field Office a statement of whether or not any amendments have
been made to this Agreement, a copy of each amendment to the
Agreement, and if the Consortium’s membership has changed, the state
certification required under 24 CFR 92.101(a)(2)(i).

2. Except as provided by law, no Consortium Member may withdraw from the
Consortium while the Agreement remains in effect. If a Consortium Member elects
to withdraw from the Consortium, written notification will be provided to the
Consortium prior to the renewal date. The Lead Agency will notify HUD of the
Consortium Member’s withdrawal from the Agreement/Consortium. The Consortium
Member shall be withdrawn effective on the first business day of the renewal
period.

3. New members may be added to the Consortium upon consent of a simple majority
of the Consortium Members. When a new member is added, the Agreement will be
amended accordingly; and the Parties agree to execute such further instruments as
may be reasonably required to effect such amendment. The Agreement will be
amended in the federal fiscal year before the year in which the new member is to
be added.

4. Each Consortium Member (i.e., the governing body or its designee) shall designate
an individual to act as Consortium staff on its behalf. Consortium staff shall have
voting authority. An alternate shall be designated by the Consortium Member if the
designated individual is unable to attend a Consortium meeting. Consortium staff
shall act on behalf of and in an advisory capacity to their respective jurisdictions.
Each Consortium Member shall have one (1) vote on all issues. All actions of the
Consortium will be determined by a simple majority of votes cast.

5. In accordance with section 91.402 of the Consolidated Plan (“CP”) rule, all units of
general government that are Consortium Members are on the same program year
that starts on each July 1st for Community Development Block Grants (“CDBG”),

Consortium’s five-year strategy for addressing housing, homeless and supportive
housing needs and Citizen Participation Plan. The Consortium shall also submit to
HUD Annual Action Plans, Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation

Consortium plans and reports shall contain goals and accomplishments for the
Consortium. At the discretion of the Consortium, individual Consortium Member
goals and accomplishments may be reported.

7. The Consortium Members shall receive their pro rata share of available HOME
Program funds from the Consortium. This share will be calculated based on the
annual Consortium Members’ collective annual CDBG allocation. These funds shall
be allocated to individual Consortium Members in direct proportion to each
Consortium Member’s annual CDBG entitlement compared to the sum of all
Consortium Members CDBG entitlements received in a program year.
(a)
If a member opts not to accept its annual pro rata share of available
HOME Program funds, it must provide written notification to the County
prior to January 1 of the upcoming program year. The allocation will be
redistributed amongst all remaining HOME Consortium members per their
pro rata share.
(b)
If a member notifies the County of its intent to return HOME Program
funds after January 1 of the upcoming program year, proposals for the
funds will be accepted by the Consortium Members. A subcommittee of
Consortium Members will review and make a recommendation for the
reallocation of funds to an existing contract.
(c)
A Consortium Member that returns its allocation remains a voting member
of the Consortium.

8. Each Consortium Member will be responsible for providing its pro-rata share of
matching non-federal funds not previously used each time it makes a draw against
its allocation of federal funds from the HOME Program.

9. Each Consortium Member agrees to affirmatively further fair housing as required by
24 CFR 91.425(a)(1)(i) and agrees to participate in any HUD-required analysis of
fair housing or assessment of fair housing. The Parties agree to comply with

within 60 days of the original non-performance
determination. The Lead Agency has 90 days to organize a

19.
All reallocation actions will be based on a majority vote of the Consortium Members.
When there is a need to reallocate funds of a Consortium Member(s), the
Consortium may elect to reallocate funds to another member of the Consortium or
to a CHDO.

20.
When there is a need to reallocate CHDO funds, the Consortium will first prioritize
potential recipients according to the following criteria:
(a)
CHDOs that have existing contracts with the Consortium.
(b)
CHDOs that have unfunded previous submitted applications with the
Consortium from the current year.
(c)

ii.
Level of effort in place to appropriately expend amount available
iii.
Ability to secure non-federal match
iv.

22.
Appeals of administrative decisions and resolutions of complaints or disputes will be
addressed at whatever level of administration they occur. Every contract
administrator is required to have an appeals/dispute resolution procedure.
Therefore, appeals/disputes relating to the administration of any contract developed
in the implementing of these programs will be processed by the administrator of that
contract according to the procedures of that administrator. For CHDO contracts
only, final appeal may be made to the Lead Agency.

All appeals of administrative decisions by the Consortium or requests for dispute
resolution relating to Consortium activities shall be in writing and submitted to the
Lead Agency. The Consortium shall review the matter at the next regularly
scheduled meeting and shall respond in writing within seven days of the decision.
