AUTHORITY, PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
1. Authority & Purpose
This Standard Agreement (hereinafter "Agreement") will provide official notification of the
conditional reservation of funds under the State of California's administration of the
federal CARES Act Emergency Solutions Grants Program Allocation (hereinafter,
"ESG-CV" or the “Program") by the Department of Housing and Community
Development (hereinafter the "Department") pursuant to the provisions of the 2020
Federally enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, Title XII,
Homeless Assistance Grants Section (hereinafter, “CARES Act”) and any waivers
including the HUD Mega-Waiver dated April 1, 2020 and, where not superseded by the
CARES Act, pursuant to the provisions of 42 USC 11371 – 42 USC 11378, (“Federal
Statutes”), 24 CFR Part 576, (“Federal Regulations”) all as shall be amended from time
to time.
HCD receives federal funds for ESG-CV from the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). In accepting this conditional reservation of funds,
Contractor (sometimes referred to herein as “Grantee” or “Administrative Entity” or
“Continuum of Care”) agrees to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Notice of Funding Availability under which the Contractor applied, the
representations contained in the Contractor’s recommendations for this funding
allocation, and the requirements of the authorities cited above. Any changes made to the
submitted and awarded Application after this Agreement is executed must receive prior
written approval from the Department. For purposes of this Agreement, use of the term
"Grantee" shall be a reference to "Contractor".
2. Scope of Work
A. Contractor shall perform the Scope of Work (“Work”) required as described in this
Agreement and in the Application, which is on file electronically with the
Department and which is incorporated herein by reference. Contractor shall be
responsible for ensuring its selected homeless service providers perform the
Work set forth in Exhibit E of this Agreement. All written materials or alterations
submitted as addenda to the original Application and which are approved in
writing by the Department are hereby incorporated as part of the Application. The
Department reserves the right to require the Grantee to modify any or all parts of
the Application in order to comply with ESG-CV requirements. The Department
reserves the right to monitor all Work to be performed by the Grantee, its
contractors, and subgrantees in relation to this Agreement. Any proposed revision
to the Scope of Work must be submitted in writing for review and approval by the
Department and may require an amendment to this Agreement. Approval shall not

be presumed unless such approval is made by the Department in writing.
B. Contractor shall perform the Work, only in the areas as identified, and in
accordance with the approved ESG-CV Application and required by Federal ESG
requirements at 24 CFR Section 576. Contractor’s selected homeless service
providers shall provide services in the areas identified in the application/award
recommendation package submitted to the Department. Services shall be
provided by the Contractor and the Contractor’s funded subrecipients for at least
the term of the ESG-CV grant. For the purposes of performing the Scope of Work,
the Department agrees to provide the amount(s) identified in Exhibit E, Section XI,
Budget Worksheet. Unless amended in writing, the Department shall not be liable
for any costs in excess of the total approved budget. The Department shall not,
under any conditions, be liable for any unauthorized or ineligible costs or
activities.
3. Duplication of Benefits
A Duplication of Benefit (DOB) occurs when a program beneficiary receives assistance
from multiple funding sources totaling an amount that exceeds the need for a particular
funding need. The duplication is the amount of assistance provided in excess of the
need. It is the Department’s responsibility to ensure that each ESG-CV activity provides
assistance only to the extent that the recipient’s project’s funding need(s) has not been
met by another funding source.
Section 312 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
(Stafford Act) prohibits federal agencies from providing assistance to any “person,
business concern, or other entity” for any loss for which the entity has already received
financial assistance from another source (See: 42 USC § 5155(a)). The Federal Register
Notice, published on November 16, 2011 (Docket No. FR-5582-N-01), requires adequate
policies and procedures in place to prevent a DOB and provide for the recapture of funds,
if necessary.
Applicants will be required to complete DOB documentation with application. Recipients
will be required to continue to report on DOB during the expenditure period for the
ESG-CV funds.
4. Effective Date and Commencement of Work
This Agreement is effective upon the date of the Department representative’s signature
on page one of the fully executed Standard Agreement, STD 213, (the “Effective
Date"). Per the CARES Act, contractors may request reimbursement for allowable costs
incurred to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus including costs that are

transactions that require payment from the grant amount. In the case of an award
made to a general purpose local government that subcontracts with private
nonprofit organizations via letters of awards and Service Provider Agreements, the

(120) days from the date of the award notification letter received by the general
purpose local government.
B. Contractor agrees to provide documentation satisfactory to the Department
evidencing the obligation of ESG-CV funds within one hundred and twenty (120)

such assistance.
D.Section 109 of Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of

five (55) or older.
G.The Age Discrimination Act of 1975: This act provides that no person shall be
excluded from participation, denied program benefits, or subject to discrimination

otherwise qualified to perform the essential functions of a job, with or without
reasonable accommodation, be afforded equal employment opportunity in all
phases of employment.
J.Executive Order 11063: This executive order provides that no person shall be

Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to bring civil action in federal court
against private sector employers after the EEOC has investigated the charge,
found "probable cause" of discrimination, and failed to obtain a conciliation
agreement acceptable to the EEOC. It also brings federal, state, and local
governments under the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

of 2013” (VAWA) (S.47 - 113th Congress (2013-2014)) (as amended or
reauthorized) Title VI - Safe Homes for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating
Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking – Sec. 601-603
VAWA provides housing protections for survivors of domestic and dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking when it comes to finding and keeping a home they can feel
safe in.
VAWA applies for all victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and
stalking, regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation, and which must be
applied consistently with all nondiscrimination and fair housing requirements. VAWA
now expands housing protections to HUD programs beyond HUD’s public housing
program and HUD’s tenant-based and project-based Section 8 programs. VAWA now
provides enhanced protections and options for victims of domestic violence, dating
violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
During the performance of this Agreement, the Contractor or its subrecipients assure
that:
A. Domestic Violence survivors are not denied assistance as an applicant, or
evicted or have assistance terminated as a tenant, because the applicant or
tenant is or has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, and stalking.
B. It will implement an “emergency transfer plan”, which allows for domestic
violence survivors to move to another safe and available unit if they fear for their
life and safety.
C. It will provide “protections against denials, terminations, and evictions that

directly result from being a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking, if the applicant or tenant otherwise qualifies for admission,
assistance, participation, or occupancy.”
D. It will implement a ‘low-barrier certification process’ where a domestic violence
survivor need only to self-certify in order to document the domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, ensuring third party documentation
does not cause a barrier in a survivor expressing their rights and receiving the
protections needed to keep
themselves safe.
23. Liability Insurance
Unless otherwise approved in writing, Contractor shall have and maintain in full force
and effect during the term(s) of this Agreement liability insurance in an amount of not

need. It is the Department’s responsibility to ensure that each ESG-CV activity provides assistance only to the extent that the
recipient’s project’s funding need(s) has not been met by another funding source. Section 312 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) prohibits federal agencies from providing assistance to any “person, business
concern, or other entity” for any loss for which the entity has already received financial assistance from another source (See: 42
USC § 5155(a)). The Federal Register Notice, published on November 16, 2011 (Docket No. FR-5582-N-01), requires adequate
policies and procedures in place to prevent a DOB and provide for the recapture of funds, if necessary. Once selected,
subrecipients will be required to report on Duplication of Benefit metrics such as types of funding sources received, amounts
received, expected persons served and actual persons served. Additional guidance is to be provided by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) as to the implementation and best practices of DOB tracking.
Please check here to confirm you have read the above and agree to monitor subrecipients for DOB in accordance
with any current and anticipated guidance from HUD and to provide requested DOB tracking data to HCD.
