may suspend or terminate this Supplemental Agreement upon a ten (10) day written notice to CITY of
action being taken and the reason for such action including, but not limited to, the following reasons:
(1) In the event CITY fails to perform the covenants herein contained at such
times and in such manner as provided in this Supplemental Agreement; and
(2) In the event there is a conflict with any federal, state or local law,
ordinance, regulation or rule rendering any of the provisions of this Supplemental Agreement invalid or
untenable; or

considered by the COUNTY in evaluating future CDBG and non-CDBG funding applications submitted
by CITY.

return any unencumbered funds which it has been provided by COUNTY. In accepting said funds,

to construct a public facility, CITY will comply with the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR Section 200.311); National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.A. §4321, et seq.); the California Environmental Quality

regulations governing CDBG funds or to sell the real property or facility, then:
(1) If CITY desires to retain title, CITY will reimburse COUNTY the amount
that represents the percentage of current fair market value that is identical to the percentage that CDBG
funds initially comprised of monies paid to acquire the property or construct the facility; or
(2) If CITY sells the property or facility or is required to sell the property or
facility, CITY shall reimburse COUNTY the amount that represents the percentage of proceeds
realized by the sale that is identical to the percentage that CDBG funds initially comprised of monies
paid to acquire the property or construct the facility. This percentage amount will be calculated after
deducting all actual and reasonable cost of sale from the sale proceeds.
26. PURCHASE, USE AND REVERSION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ASSETS
For organizations using CDBG funds for equipment, the following principles apply:
Acquisition (2 CFR 200.313(a)): Title to equipment acquired with CDBG funds is vested in your
organization, subject to the conditions described in the following section.
Use (2 CFR 200.313(c)): Your organization must use equipment purchased with CDBG funds
for the CDBG program or project as long as needed, whether or not the program or project continues to
be supported by Federal funds.
During the time that your organization or its designee is using equipment for the CDBG funded
program, you must also make the equipment available for use on other Federally funded projects or
programs, provided that such use does not interfere with work on the CDBG funded program (2 CFR
200.313(c)(2)).
When no longer needed for the CDBG funded program, other Federally- supported agencies may
use the equipment, in the following order of priority: (i) Activities under a Federal award from HUD,
then (ii) Activities under Federal awards from other Federal agencies. This includes consolidated
equipment for information technology systems (2 CFR 200.313(c)(i)(ii)).
HUD prohibits your organization from using CDBG-acquired equipment to provide services for
a fee that competes unfairly with private companies that provide equivalent services unless specifically
authorized by Federal statute (2 CFR 200.313(c)(3)).
With the approval of the grantee, you may trade in equipment acquired with CDBG funds for

updated equipment (2 CFR 200.313(c)(4)).
Disposition (2 CFR 200.313(e)): When original or replacement equipment acquired with CDBG
funds is no longer needed for the original program or other activities currently or previously assisted
with Federal funds, the following rules of disposition will apply:
(1) Equipment with a current fair market value of $10,000 or less (per unit) may be retained,
sold, or otherwise disposed of with no further responsibility to the Federal agency or pass -through entity.
(2) Except as provided in § 200.312(b), or if the Federal agency or pass -through entity fails to
provide requested disposition instructions within 120 days, items of equipment with a current fair market
value in excess of $10,000 (per unit) may be retained or sold by the recipient or subrecipient. However,
the Federal agency is entitled to an amount calculated by multiplying the percentage of the Federal
agency's contribution towards the original purchase by the current market value or proceeds from the
sale. If the equipment is sold, the Federal agency or pass -through entity may permit the recipient or
subrecipient to retain, from the Federal share, $1,000 of the proceeds to cover expenses associated with
the selling and handling of the equipment.
(3) The recipient or subrecipient may transfer title to the property to the Federal Government or
to an eligible third party provided that the recipient or subrecipient must be entitled to compensation for
its attributable percentage of the current fair market value of the property.
(4) In cases where a recipient or subrecipient fails to take appropriate disposition actions, the
Federal agency or pass -through entity may direct the recipient or subrecipient to take disposition actions.
PERSONAL PROPERTY — SUPPLIES.
(2 CFR 200.3.14) Title to supplies will vest in your organization upon acquisition, subject to the
following conditions:
If there is a residual inventory of unused supplies exceeding $10,000 upon completion of the
program and the supplies are not needed for any other Federal award, you may keep the supplies for use
in other activities or sell them when the CDBG award or agreement ends. But in either case, you must
compensate the grantee for its share. The amount of compensation must be computed in the same manner
as for equipment (see 2 CFR 200.313(e)(2)).
As long as the Federal Government retains an interest in the supplies, you must not use supplies
acquired under a Federal award to provide services to other organizations for a fee that is less than private

Neighborhood Organizations," and as amended by Executive Order 14015, entitled
"Establishment of the White House Office of Faith -Based and Neighborhood Partnerships," this
section describes requirements for ensuring the equal participation of faith -based organizations
in flUD programs and activities. These requirements apply to all HUD programs and activities,
including all of HUD's Native American Programs, except as may be otherwise noted in the
respective program regulations in title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), or unless
inconsistent with certain HUD program authorizing statutes.
(b) Definitions. The following definitions apply to this section:
Direct Federal financial assistance means Federal financial assistance provided when a Federal
Government agency or an intermediary, as defined in this section, selects the provider and either
purchases services from that provider (i.e., via a contract) or awards funds to that provider to
carry out an activity (e.g., via grant, sub -grant, sub -award, or cooperative agreement). The
recipients of sub -grants or sub -awards that receive Federal financial assistance through State -
administered programs (e.g., flow -through programs) are considered recipients of direct Federal
financial assistance. In general, Federal financial assistance shall be treated as direct, unless it
meets the definition of indirect Federal financial assistance.
Federal financial assistance means assistance that non -Federal entities receive or administer in
the forms of grants, contracts, loans, loan guarantees, property, cooperative agreements, food
commodities, direct appropriations, or other assistance, but does not include a tax credit,
deduction, or exemption.
Indirect Federal financial assistance means Federal financial assistance provided when the
choice of the provider is placed in the hands of the beneficiary, and the cost of that service is
paid through a voucher, certificate, or other similar means of Government -funded
payment. Federal financial assistance provided to an organization is considered indirect when the
Government program through which the beneficiary receives the voucher, certificate, or other
similar means of Government -funded payment is neutral toward religion meaning that it
is available to providers without regard to the religious or non -religious nature of the institution
and there are no program incentives that deliberately skew for or against religious or secular
providers; and the organization receives the assistance wholly as a result of a genuine and
independent private choice of the beneficiary, not a choice of the Government. The availability
of adequate secular alternatives is a significant factor in determining whether a program affords
true private choice.
Intermediary means an entity, including a nongovernmental organization, acting under a
contract, grant, or other agreement with the Federal Government or with a State, tribal or local
government that accepts Federal financial assistance and distributes that assistance to other
entities that, in turn, carry out activities under HUD programs.
Religious exercise has the meaning given to the term in 42 U.S.C. 2000cc-5(7)(A).
(c) Equal participation of faith -based organizations in HUD programs and activities.
(1) Faith -based organizations are eligible, on the same basis as any other organization, to
participate in any HUD program or activity for which they are otherwise eligible. Neither the
Federal Government, nor a State, Tribal, or local government, nor any other entity that
administers any HUD program or activity, shall discriminate for or against an organization on
the basis of the organization's religious character, motives, or affiliation, or lack thereof, or on
the basis of conduct that would not be considered grounds to favor or disfavor a similarly
situated secular organization.
(2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude HUD from making an accommodation,
including for religious exercise, with respect to one or more program requirements on a case -by -
case basis in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the United States.
(3) HUD shall not disqualify an organization from participating in any HUD program for which
it is eligible on the basis of the organization's indication that it may request an accommodation
with respect to one or more program requirements, unless the organization has made clear that
the accommodation is necessary to its participation and, in accordance with the Constitution and
laws of the United States, HUD has determined that it would deny the accommodation.
(4) In addition, decisions about awards of Federal financial assistance must be free from political
interference or even the appearance of such interference and must be made on the basis of merit,
not based on the organization's religious character, affiliation, or lack thereof, or based on the
organization's religious exercise. Notices of funding opportunity, grant agreements, and
cooperative agreements shall include language substantially similar to that in appendix A to this
subpart, where faith -based organizations are eligible for such opportunities.
(d) Independence and identity offaith-based organizations.
(1) A faith -based organization that applies for, or participates in, a HUD program or activity
supported with Federal financial assistance retains its autonomy, right of expression, religious
character, authority over its governance, and independence, and may continue to carry out its
mission, including the definition, development, practice, and expression of its religious beliefs;
provided that, it does not use direct Federal financial assistance, whether received through a
prime award or sub -award, to support or engage in any explicitly religious activities, including
activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or
proselytization.
(2) A faith -based organization that receives direct Federal financial assistance may use space
(including a sanctuary, chapel, prayer hall, or other space) in its facilities (including a temple,
synagogue, church, mosque, or other place of worship) to carry out activities under
a HUD program without concealing, altering, or removing religious art, icons, scriptures, or
other religious symbols. In addition, a faith -based organization participating in a HUD program
or activity retains its authority over its internal governance, and may retain religious terms in its
organization's name, select its board members on the basis of their acceptance of or adherence to
the religious tenets of the organization consistent with paragraph (i) of this section, and include
religious references in its organization's mission statements and other governing documents.
(e) Explicitly religious activities. If an organization engages in explicitly religious activities
(including activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or
proselytization), the explicitly religious activities must be offered separately, in time or location,
from the programs or activities supported by direct Federal financial assistance and participation
must be voluntary for the beneficiaries of the programs or activities that receive direct Federal
financial assistance. The use of indirect Federal financial assistance is not subject to this
restriction. Nothing in this part restricts HUD's authority under applicable Federal law to fund
activities, that can be directly funded by the Government consistent with the Establishment
Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
(t) Intermediary responsibilities to ensure equal participation of faith -based organizations in
HUD programs. If an intermediary —acting under a contract, grant, or other agreement with the
Federal Government or with a State, tribal or local government that is administering a program
supported by Federal financial assistance —is given the authority to select a nongovernmental
organization to receive Federal financial assistance under a contract, grant, sub -grant, sub -award,
or cooperative agreement, the intermediary must ensure that such organization complies with the
requirements of this section. If the intermediary is a nongovernmental organization, it retains all
other rights of a nongovernmental organization under the program's statutory and regulatory
provisions.
(g) Nondiscrimination and beneficiary notice requirements --(I) Nondiscrimination. Any
organization that receives Federal financial assistance under a HUD program or activity shall
not, in providing services supported in whole or in part with Federal financial assistance, or in
their outreach activities related to such services, discriminate against a beneficiary or prospective
beneficiary on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a
refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice. However, an organization that participates
in a program funded by indirect Federal financial assistance need not modify its program or
activities to accommodate a beneficiary who chooses to expend the indirect aid on the
organization's program.
(2) Beneficiary notice.
(i) An organization providing services under a program supported by direct Federal financial
assistance from HUD, or an entity that administers indirect Federal financial
assistance from HUD, must give written notice to beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries
of certain protections in a manner and form prescribed by HUD, including by incorporating
the notice into materials that are otherwise provided to beneficiaries. The required language
for this written notice to beneficiaries is set forth in appendix C to this subpart.
(ii) For the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), Project -Based Voucher (PBV), and Section 8
Moderate Rehabilitation programs, the respective recipient (i.e., Public Housing Agency) is
required to provide the written beneficiary notice. For the Housing Opportunities for Persons
with AIDS (HOPWA) program, the r� or project sponsor that is responsible for making
eligibility determinations is required to provide the written beneficiary notice. For the
Continuum of Care (CoQ and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) programs, the recipient or
subrecipient that is responsible for determining the eligibility of each family or individual is
required to provide the written beneficiary notice. The participating or prospective providers
(landlords) are not responsible for providing the written beneficiary notice for indirect aid
recipients. The notice must include the following information:
(A) Nondiscrimination requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of this section;
(B) Notification that a beneficiary or prospective beneficiary may report an organization's
violation of these protections, including any denials of services or benefits by an
organization, by contacting or filing a written complaint with the Center for Faith -Based
and Neighborhood Partnerships or the intermediary that awarded funds to the organization;
and
(C) For direct Federal financial assistance only, prohibitions with respect to explicitly
religious activities as set forth in paragraph (e) of this section.
(3) Notice timing. The written notice described in paragraph (g)(2) of this section must be given
to a prospective beneficiary prior to the time the prospective beneficiary enrolls in the program
or receives services from the program. When the nature of the service provided or exigent
circumstances make it impracticable to provide such written notice in advance of the actual
service, an organization must advise beneficiaries of their protections at the
earliest available opportunity.
(4) Alternative option information. HUD may determine that the notice described in para rg anh
(g)(2) of this section must inform each beneficiary or prospective beneficiary about how to
obtain information from HUD, or a State agency or other entity administering the applicable
program, about other federally funded service providers in their area that provide the
services available under the applicable program.
(h) No additional assurances from faith -based organizations. A faith -based organization is not
rendered ineligible by its religious nature to access and participate in HUD programs. Absent
regulatory or statutory authority, no notice of funding opportunity, grant agreement, cooperative
agreement, covenant, memorandum of understanding, policy, or regulation that is used
by HUD or a recipient or intermediary in administering Federal financial
assistance from HUD shall require otherwise eligible faith -based organizations to provide
assurances or notices where they are not required of similarly situated secular organizations. All
organizations that participate in HUD programs or activities, including organizations with
religious character, motives, or affiliation, must carry out eligible activities in accordance with
all program requirements, including those prohibiting the use of direct financial assistance to
engage in explicitly religious activities, subject to any accommodations that are granted to
organizations on a case -by -case basis in accordance with the Constitution and laws of the United
States. No notice of funding opportunity, grant agreement, cooperative agreement, covenant,
memorandum of understanding, policy, or regulation that is used by HUD or a recipient
or intermediary in administering financial assistance from HUD shall disqualify otherwise
eligible faith -based organizations from participating in HUD's programs or activities on the basis
of the organization's religious character, motives, or affiliation, or lack thereof, or on the basis of
conduct that would not be considered grounds to disqualify a similarly situated secular
organization.
(i) Exemption from Title VII employment discrimination requirements. A religious
organization's exemption from the Federal prohibition on employment discrimination on the
basis of religion, set forth in section 702(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-1),
is not forfeited when the organization participates in a HUD program. Some HUD programs,
however, contain independent statutory provisions that impose certain nondiscrimination
requirements on all grantees. Accordingly, grantees should consult with the
appropriate HUD program office to determine the scope of applicable requirements.
6) Acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation of structures. Direct Federal financial
assistance 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 a HUD program or
activity. Where a structure is used for both eligible and explicitly religious activities (including
activities that involve overt religious content such as worship, religious instruction, or
proselytization), direct Federal financial assistance may not exceed the cost of the share
of acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation attributable to eligible activities in accordance with
the cost accounting requirements applicable to the HUD program or activity.
However, acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of sanctuaries, chapels, or other rooms that
a HUD -funded faith -based organization uses as its principal place of worship, may not be paid
with direct Federal financial assistance. Disposition of real property by a faith -based
organization after its use for an authorized purpose, or any change in use of the property from an
authorized purpose, is subject to Government -wide regulations governing real property
disposition (2 CFR part 200, subpart D) and the HUD program regulations, as directed by HUD.
(k) Commingling of Federal and State, tribal, and local funds. If a State, tribal, or local
government voluntarily contributes its own funds to supplement direct Federal financial
assistance for an activity, the State, tribal or local government has the option to segregate those
funds or commingle them with the direct Federal financial assistance. However, if the funds are
commingled, the requirements of this section apply to all of the commingled funds. Further, if
a State, tribal, or local government is required to contribute matching funds to supplement
direct Federal financial assistance for an activity, the matching funds are considered commingled
with the direct Federal financial assistance and, therefore, subject to the requirements of this
section. Some HUD programs' requirements govern any activity assisted under those programs.
Accordingly, recipients should consult with the appropriate HUD program office to determine
the scope of applicable requirements.
(1) Tax exempt organizations. In general, HUD does not require that a recipient, including a
faith -based organization, obtain tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code to be eligible for funding under HUD programs. Many grant programs, however,
do require an organization to be a nonprofit organization in order to be eligible for funding.
Notices of funding availability that require organizations to have nonprofit status will
specifically so indicate in the eligibility section of the notice of funding availability. In addition,
if any notice of funding availability requires an organization to maintain tax-exempt status, it
will expressly state the statutory authority for requiring such status. Applicants should consult
with the appropriate HUD program office to determine the scope of any applicable requirements.
In HUD programs in which an applicant must show that it is a nonprofit organization but this is
not statutorily defined, the applicant may do so by any of the following means:
(1) Proof that the Internal Revenue Service currently recognizes the applicant as an organization
to which contributions are tax deductible under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code;
(2) A statement from a State or other governmental taxing body or
the State secretary of State certifying that
(i) The organization is a nonprofit organization operating within the State; and
(ii) No part of its net earnings may benefit any private shareholder or individual;
(3) A certified copy of the applicant's certificate of incorporation or similar document that
clearly establishes the nonprofit status of the applicant; or
(4) Any item described in paragraphs (1)(1) through (3) of this section, if that item applies to
a State or national parent organization, together with a statement by
the State or parent organization that the applicant is a local nonprofit affiliate.
(m) Rule of construction. Neither HUD nor any recipient or other intermediary receiving funds
under any HUD program or activity shall construe these provisions in such a way as to advantage
or disadvantage faith -based organizations affiliated with historic or well -established religions or
sects in comparison with other religions or sects.

CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS
24 CFR Part 75
RIVERSIDE COUNTY
Section 75.1 Purpose
This part establishes the requirements to be followed to ensure the objectives of Section 3 of the
Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1701u) (Section 3) are met. The
purpose of Section 3 is to ensure that economic opportunities, most importantly employment,
generated by certain HUD financial assistance shall be directed to low- and very low-income
persons, particularly those who are recipients of government assistance for housing or residents
of the community in which the Federal assistance is spent.
Section 75.3 Applicability
(a) General applicability. Section 3 applies to public housing financial assistance and Section 3
projects, as follows:
(1) Public housing financial assistance. Public housing financial assistance means:
(i) Development assistance provided pursuant to section 5 of the United States Housing Act of
1937 (the 1937 Act);
(ii) Operations and management assistance provided pursuant to section 9(e) of the 1937 Act;
(iii) Development, modernization, and management assistance provided pursuant to section 9(d)
of the 1937 Act; and
(iv) The entirety of a mixed -finance development project as described in 24 CFR 905.604,
regardless of whether the project is fully or partially assisted with public housing financial
assistance as defined in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (iii) of this section.
(2) Section 3 projects. (i) Section 3 projects means housing rehabilitation, housing
construction, and other public construction projects assisted under HUD programs that
provide housing and community development financial assistance when the total amount
of assistance to the project exceeds a threshold of $200,000. The threshold is $100,000 where
the assistance is from the Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes programs, as
authorized by Sections 501 or 502 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 (12
U.S.C. 1701z-1 or 1701z-2), the Lead -Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.0 4801
et seq.); and the Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C.
4851 et seq.). The project is the site or sites together with any building(s) and improvements
located on the site(s) that are under common ownership, management, and financing.
(ii) The Secretary must update the thresholds provided in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section not
less than once every 5 years based on a national construction cost inflation factor through Federal
Register notice not subject to public comment. When the Secretary finds it is warranted to ensure
compliance with Section 3, the Secretary may adjust, regardless of the national construction cost
factor, such thresholds through Federal Register notice, subject to public comment.
(iii) The requirements in this part apply to an entire Section 3 project, regardless of whether the
project is fully or partially assisted under HUD programs that provide housing and community
development financial assistance.
(b) Contracts for materials. Section 3 requirements do not apply to material supply contracts.
(c) Indian and Tribal preferences. Contracts, subcontracts, grants, or subgrants subject to Section
7(b) of the Indian Self -Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5307(b)) or
subject to tribal preference requirements as authorized under 101(k) of the Native American
Housing Assistance and Self -Determination Act (25 U.S.C. 4111(k)) must provide preferences
in employment, training, and business opportunities to Indians and Indian organizations, and are
therefore not subject to the requirements of this part.
(d) Other HUD assistance and other Federal assistance. Recipients that are not subject to Section
3 are encouraged to consider ways to support the purpose of Section 3.

Subpart C—Additional Provisions for Housing and Community Development
Financial Assistance
§75.19 Requirements.
(a) Employment and training. (1) To the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing
Federal, state, and local laws and regulations, recipients covered by this subpart shall ensure that
employment and training opportunities arising in connection with Section 3 projects are provided to
Section 3 workers within the metropolitan area (or nonmetropolitan county) in which the project is
located.
(2) Where feasible, priority for opportunities and training described in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section should be given to:
(i) Section 3 workers residing within the service area or the neighborhood of the project, and
(ii) Participants in YouthBuild programs.
(b) Contracting. (1) To the greatest extent feasible, and consistent with existing Federal, state, and
local laws and regulations, recipients covered by this subpart shall ensure contracts for work awarded
in connection with Section 3 projects are provided to business concerns that provide economic
opportunities to Section 3 workers residing within the metropolitan area (or nonmetropolitan county)
in which the project is located.
(2) Where feasible, priority for contracting opportunities described in paragraph (b)(1) of this
section should be given to:
(i) Section 3 business concerns that provide economic opportunities to Section 3 workers residing
within the service area or the neighborhood of the project, and
(ii) YouthBuild programs.
§75.21 Targeted Section 3 worker for housing and community development financial assistance.
(a) Targeted Section 3 worker. A Targeted Section 3 worker for housing and community
development financial assistance means a Section 3 worker who is:
(1) A worker employed by a Section 3 business concern; or
(2) A worker who currently fits or when hired fit at least one of the following categories, as

(i) Living within the service area or the neighborhood of the project, as defined in §75.5; or
(ii) A YouthBuild participant.
(b) [Reserved]
§75.23 Section 3 safe harbor.
(a) General. Recipients will be considered to have complied with requirements in this part, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary if they:
(1) Certify that they have followed the prioritization of effort in §75.19; and
(2) Meet or exceed the applicable Section 3 benchmark as described in paragraph (b) of this
section.
(b) Establishing benchmarks. (1) HUD will establish Section 3 benchmarks for Section 3 workers
or Targeted Section 3 workers or both through a document published in the FEDERAL REGISTER. HUD
may establish a single nationwide benchmark for Section 3 workers and a single nationwide
benchmark for Targeted Section 3 workers, or may establish multiple benchmarks based on geography,
the nature of the Section 3 project, or other variables. HUD will update the benchmarks through a
document published in the FEDERAL REGISTER, subject to public comment, not less frequently than
once every 3 years. Such notice shall include aggregate data on labor hours and the proportion of
recipients meeting benchmarks, as well as other metrics reported pursuant to §75.25 as deemed
appropriate by HUD, for the 3 most recent reporting years.
(2) In establishing the Section 3 benchmarks, HUD may consider the industry averages for labor
hours worked by specific categories of workers or in different localities or regions; averages for labor
hours worked by Section 3 workers and Targeted Section 3 workers as reported by recipients pursuant
to this section; and any other factors HUD deems important. In establishing the Section 3 benchmarks,
HUD will exclude professional services from the total number of labor hours as such hours are
excluded from the total number of labor hours to be reported per §75.25(a)(4).
(3) Section 3 benchmarks will consist of the following two ratios:
(i) The number of labor hours worked by Section 3 workers divided by the total number of labor
hours worked by all workers on a Section 3 project in the recipient's program year.
(ii) The number of labor hours worked by Targeted Section 3 workers as defined in §75.21(a),
divided by the total number of labor hours worked by all workers on a Section 3 project in the
recipient's program year.
§75.25 Reporting.
(a) Reporting of labor hours. (1) For Section 3 projects, recipients must report in a manner
prescribed by HUD:
(i) The total number of labor hours worked;
(ii) The total number of labor hours worked by Section 3 workers; and
(iii) The total number of labor hours worked by Targeted Section 3 workers.
(2) Section 3 workers' and Targeted Section 3 workers' labor hours may be counted for five years
from when their status as a Section 3 worker or Targeted Section 3 worker is established pursuant to
§75.31.
(3) The labor hours reported under paragraph (a)(1) of this section must include the total number
of labor hours worked on a Section 3 project, including labor hours worked by any subrecipients,
contractors and subcontractors that the recipient is required, or elects pursuant to paragraph (a)(4) of
this section, to report.
(4) Recipients reporting under this section, as well as subrecipients, contractors and
subcontractors who report to recipients, may report labor hours by Section 3 workers, under paragraph
(a)(1)(ii) of this section, and labor hours by Targeted Section 3 workers, under paragraph (a)(1)(iii) of
this section, from professional services without including labor hours from professional services in the
total number of labor hours worked under paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section. If a contract covers both
professional services and other work and the recipient or contractor or subcontractor chooses not to
report labor hours from professional services, the labor hours under the contract that are not from
professional services must still be reported.
(5) Recipients may report their own labor hours or that of a subrecipient, contractor, or
subcontractor based on the employer's good faith assessment of the labor hours of a full-time or part-
time employee informed by the employer's existing salary or time and attendance -based payroll
systems, unless the project or activity is otherwise subject to requirements specifying time and
attendance reporting.
(b) Additional reporting if Section 3 benchmarks are not met. If the recipient's reporting under
paragraph (a) of this section indicates that the recipient has not met the Section 3 benchmarks
described in §75.23, the recipient must report in a form prescribed by HUD on the qualitative nature of
its activities and those its contractors and subcontractors pursued. Such qualitative efforts may, for
example, include but are not limited to the following:
(1) Engaged in outreach efforts to generate job applicants who are Targeted Section 3 workers.
(2) Provided training or apprenticeship opportunities.
(3) Provided technical assistance to help Section 3 workers compete for jobs (e.g., resume
assistance, coaching).
(4) Provided or connected Section 3 workers with assistance in seeking employment including:
drafting resumes, preparing for interviews, and finding job opportunities connecting residents to job
placement services.
(5) Held one or more job fairs.
(6) Provided or referred Section 3 workers to services supporting work readiness and retention
(e.g., work readiness activities, interview clothing, test fees, transportation, child care).
(7) Provided assistance to apply for/or attend community college, a four-year educational
institution, or vocational/technical training.
(8) Assisted Section 3 workers to obtain financial literacy training and/or coaching.
(9) Engaged in outreach efforts to identify and secure bids from Section 3 business concerns.
(10) Provided technical assistance to help Section 3 business concerns understand and bid on
contracts.
(11) Divided contracts into smaller jobs to facilitate participation by Section 3 business concerns.
(12) Provided bonding assistance, guaranties, or other efforts to support viable bids from Section
3 business concerns.
(13) Promoted use of business registries designed to create opportunities for disadvantaged and
small businesses.
(14) Outreach, engagement, or referrals with the state one -stop system as defined in Section
121(e)(2) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
(c) Reporting frequency. Unless otherwise provided, recipients must report annually to HUD

services projects and 85% for public improvements or housing services.
•City-approved grant applications must be submitted to the Riverside County
Housing and Workforce Solutions (County HWS) no later than December 2, 2024.
The exact amount of CDBG funding will be confirmed in the second quarter of
2025.
FISCAL IMPACT
Upon approval by the County HWS, the City will receive an estimated $160,000 in CDBG
funds. The final FY 2025/26 funding allocation will be based upon actual funds received.
Revenues and expenses will be incorporated in the FY 2025/26 City Budget and tracked

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City is a cooperating city of the County’s CDBG program and has participated since
1983. HWS oversees the County’s program and the County distributes annual funding to
cooperating cities. The CDBG program requires that each project/activity the funds are
used for meets one of the three national objectives: 1) benefit low and moderate-income
individuals; 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; or 3) meet a need
having a particular urgency.
PUBLIC HEARING ITEM NO. 3
485
Public Services
CDBG funding can be used for public services, such as childcare, recreation and
education programs; however, only 15% of the awarded annual allocation may be
designated for public services, or a maximum of $24,000 for FY 2025/26 based on the
total amount of $160,000 anticipated to be distributed to the City. The County HWS has
a minimum funding requirement of $10,000 for this category. The Boys and Girls Club
requested $24,000 for FY 2025/26.
Public Improvements
CDBG funding can be used for public improvements, which include construction,
reconstruction, rehabilitation, and accessibility improvements. Public improvement funds
can be used for facilities and improvements that are publicly owned or owned by a non-
profit agency open to the public. These funds must be used for improvements that benefit
low- and moderate-income individuals or neighborhoods. Based on the County’s
guidelines for allocation of funds, 85% of the awarded annual allocation may be
designated for public/capital improvements, or a maximum of $136,000 for FY 2025/26
based on the total amount anticipated to be distributed to the City.
CDBG Applications
The City received three applications for CDBG funding (Attachment 1) – The Boys and
Girls Club of the Coachella Valley and Operation SafeHouse/SafeHouse of the Desert
submitted a public service application; and the City’s Engineering Services Division
submitted a public improvement-funding request.
Staff recommends awarding the anticipated public service funds of $24,000 to the Boys
and Girls Club; and $136,000 to the City’s Engineering Services division. The Boys and
Girls Club funding will benefit 19 children who attend; the public improvement request will
fund American with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements at City facilities that benefit
individuals with disabilities and those who have low and moderate income.
Agency and Public Review
A request for applications and notice of funding availability was posted to the City’s
website on October 9, 2024. A public notice was published in The Desert Sun on
November 22, 2024, announcing the availability of funds and the public hearing date.
ALTERNATIVES
Council may allocate funds to an alternate single applicant in each category, or an
alternate combination of applicants and funding amounts in each category.
