SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT
This EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANTS PROGRAM SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 1, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) by and between
the CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO, a California municipal corporation and charter city (the “City”),
and FAMILY SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF REDLANDS, a California nonprofit corporation (the
"Subrecipient"). City and Subrecipient are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "Party" and
collectively as the "Parties."
Recitals
City has been allocated funds under the Emergency Solutions Grants program (“ESG”) from the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), pursuant to subtitle B of
title IV of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11371–11378), and the
implementing regulations at 24 C.F.R. Part 576 (collectively, the “ESG Requirements”). ESG funding
is provided for eligible program components, including emergency shelter operations, street outreach,
homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing, as well as Homeless Management Information System
(HMIS) activities, in accordance with ESG Requirements.
SUBRECIPIENT has submitted an application and represents that it is eligible under the ESG
Requirements, to receive a portion of the award of ESG funds allocated by HUD to the City (the “ESG
Funds”), as a subrecipient (as defined in 24 C.F.R. §576.2) of the City.
SUBRECIPIENT’s application for a subgrant of ESG Funds, in an amount not to exceed Fifty-Five
Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-Seven Dollars ($55,987.00), was approved by the City Council of
the City for the sole purpose of carrying out eligible Rapid Re-Housing activities in accordance with
24 C.F.R. § 576.104. Such activities shall include the provision of housing relocation and stabilization
services, and short- and/or medium-term rental assistance, as necessary to assist program participants
to move as quickly as possible into permanent housing and achieve stability in that housing, consistent
with the housing relocation and stabilization services requirements at 24 C.F.R. § 576.105, the short-
and medium-term rental assistance requirements at 24 C.F.R. § 576.106, and the written standards
and procedures established under 24 C.F.R. § 576.400. This award is subject to and contingent upon
the allocation and receipt by the City of such funds and HUD’s issuance of Authority to Use Grant
Funds.
Parties desire to enter into this Agreement so that SUBRECIPIENT may receive a subaward of a
portion of the ESG funds for reimbursement of certain costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, upon and in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained
herein and for other valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

special needs, and persons experiencing homelessness. ESG funds will be used solely for
allowable RRH activities in accordance with 24 C.F.R. §§ 576.104, 576.105, and 576.107,
including move-in deposit assistance (up to $4,000 per household), first month’s rent,

housing stability case management, landlord engagement, housing budget development,
and referrals to supportive services, to support participants in obtaining and maintaining

formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or
action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is consistent with the
contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which

orders.

this contract or with any of the said rules, regulations, or orders, this contract may be
canceled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and the contractor may be
declared ineligible for further Government contracts or federally assisted construction
contracts, and such other sanctions may be imposed and remedies invoked by rule,
regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise provided by law.
8) The contractor will include the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (8) in every
subcontract or purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or orders of the
Secretary of Labor so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor or
vendor. The contractor will take such action with respect to any subcontract or
purchase order as the administering agency may direct as a means of enforcing such
provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance: Provided, however, that in the
event a contractor becomes involved in, or is threatened with, litigation with a
subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the administering agency, the
contractor may request the United States to enter into such litigation to protect the
interests of the United States.

to its own employment practices when it participates in federally assisted construction work:

modification with a contractor debarred from, or who has not demonstrated eligibility for,
Government contracts and federally assisted construction contracts pursuant to the Executive Order
and will carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of the equal opportunity clause as may be
imposed upon contractors and subcontractors by the administering agency or the Secretary of Labor

City’s Conflict of Interest Policy
Conflicts of Interest
The Subrecipient shall comply with 2 CFR § 200.112 with respect to the use of ESG funds to
procure services, equipment, supplies, or other property.
With respect to all other decisions involving the use of ESG funds, the following restriction shall
apply:
No person who is an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected or appointed official of the
Subrecipient and who exercises or has exercised any functions or responsibilities with respect to
assisted activities—or who is in a position to participate in decision-making processes or gain
inside information with regard to such activities—may obtain a personal or financial interest or
benefit from the activity. This includes any interest in a contract, subcontract, or agreement
related to the activity or its proceeds, whether for themselves or for those with whom they have
family or business ties, during their tenure or for one (1) year thereafter.
The Subrecipient further agrees to abide by the ESG Program’s conflict of interest provisions
as detailed in 24 CFR § 576.404, regarding both Organizational and Personal Conflicts of
Interest. All contractors and subcontractors of the Subrecipient must comply with the same
requirements that apply to the Subrecipient under this section.

[ESG Property Standards]
A. Occupancy Standards
Occupancy standards provide consistent criteria for determining the size of the permanent
housing unit for which the household is eligible and thus, the amount of assistance to
be provided.
Sub-Recipients must establish occupancy standards that comply with the HUD Equal Access
Rule (24 CFR §§ 5.105(a)(2), 5.106) and other fair housing laws, ensuring that
households and individuals are not discriminated against based on sex, actual or
perceived gender identity, or sexual orientation. While households typically
determine their own sleeping arrangements, there may be circumstances when it is
not appropriate for two persons to share a bedroom, particularly if:
• A live-in care attendant requires separate space to accommodate the household member’s
need for ongoing care.
• A household member has a medical condition requiring privacy or additional room for
equipment or treatment.
Any such decisions must be guided by individualized assessments, rather than blanket
policies, and should make reasonable accommodations as necessary. Occupancy
standards should prioritize client choice, privacy, and safety, without imposing
arbitrary distinctions based on household composition.
B. Habitability Standards
All housing units supported with program funds must meet HUD Habitability Standards, set
forth at:
https://www.hudexchange.info/resource/3766/esg-minimum-habitability-standards-
foremergency-shelters-and-permanent-housing/
Sub-Recipient could use either standard for shelter or rental assistance funded with ESG.
Housing also needs to be compliant with local housing codes relating to occupancy,
health, and safety standards and the program must comply with the two.
Docusign Envelope ID: D6498079-3318-4D05-8F85-40105F2F93BF
1) Permanent Housing
Minimum habitability standards for permanent housing include requirements for:
• structure and materials;
• personal space and security;
• interior air quality;
• water supply;
• sanitary facilities;
• heating and cooling operating equipment;
• natural and electrically produced light;
• area for food preparation;
• safe and sanitary project maintenance; and
• fire safety
For households moving into a new unit, the unit must meet habitability standards before the lease
is signed and the household moves in. For households already residing in a unit, the unit
must meet habitability standards before financial or rental assistance can be provided.
2) Shelters In addition to established housing codes, habitability standards for shelters in
which ESG funds are used for conversion, major rehabilitation or renovation include
requirements for the following:
• structure and materials;
• access to and within the shelter;
• personal space and security;
• interior air quality;
• water supply;
• sanitary facilities;
• heating and cooling operating equipment;
• natural and electrically produced light;
Docusign Envelope ID: D6498079-3318-4D05-8F85-40105F2F93BF
• area for food preparation;
• safe and sanitary facility maintenance; and
• fire safety/smoke detectors.
C. Lead-Based Paint Requirements
Federal lead-based paint requirements apply any time federal funds are used for housing
assistance and the living space or unit was built prior to 1978. The Lead-Based Paint
Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. §§ 4821-4846), the Residential Lead-Based
Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U.S.C. §§ 4851-4856), and implementing
regulations in 24 CFR part 35, subparts A, B, H, J, K, M and R apply to all shelters
assisted with ESG funding and all housing occupied by program participants.
Sub-Recipient must provide the lead hazard information pamphlet to any resident who will
be residing in a unit built before 1978. The tenant must receive the pamphlet before
moving into the unit. If Sub-Recipient can document the tenant received the pamphlet
previously, Sub-Recipient is not required to provide it again.
For units older than 1978 which will house one or more children under the age of 6, landlord
and tenant must complete a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure form. The form describes
any known current or previous lead-based paint hazards, and documents tenant’s
receipt of records and the lead hazard information pamphlet. Additionally, a visual
lead-based paint assessment must be completed by a person trained in this inspection
process. The inspection may be completed in conjunction with the habitability
inspection if the inspector is qualified. At Intake, it should be noted on the
Application Form if there will be any child in the household younger than 6 years.
This information should be provided to the habitability inspector prior to their
examination of the proposed rental unit.
Essential service activities, such as, counseling, case management, street outreach, referrals
to employment, etc., are exempt and excluded from the lead-based paint inspection
requirements.
D. Environmental Review
Sub-Recipient and its contractors shall not rehabilitate, convert, or renovate a shelter or
prospective shelter until HUD has performed an environmental review under 24 CFR part 50
and Sub-Recipient has received HUD approval to continue. Sub-Recipient shall supply all
available, relevant information necessary for HUD to perform any environmental review
Docusign Envelope ID: D6498079-3318-4D05-8F85-40105F2F93BF
required by 24 CFR Part 50. Sub-Recipient must carry out mitigating measures required by
HUD or select alternate eligible property. HUD may eliminate from consideration any
application that would require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). Environmental
reviews must also be completed for any project-based housing assistance paid with ESG
funding.

ESG are entered into the applicable community-wide HMIS in the area in which those persons and activities
are located, or if the SUBRECIPIENT is a victim service provider or legal services provider, with the express
knowledge and written consent of the CITY, a comparable database, in accordance with 24 CFR § 576.400(f),
HUD’s standards on participation, data collection, and reporting under a local HMIS.
2. HMIS Agency Agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT shall have an agreement in place with the HMIS lead
agency to participate in the regionally established HMIS system. A copy of the SUBRECIPIENT’S agreement
with the HMIS lead agency shall be delivered to the CITY. In the case of Domestic Violence service providers
or other agencies prohibited from entering data into HMIS, documentation from the HMIS lead agency
certifying that the SUBRECIPIENT is using a comparable database shall be delivered to the CITY. The "HMIS
lead agency" is the County of San Bernardino Community Development and Housing Agency, which is located
at 385 N. Arrowhead Ave., 3rd Floor, San Bernardino, California (909-387-4700).
3. HMIS Interagency Data Sharing Agreement. The SUBRECIPIENT shall enter into an Interagency Data
Sharing Agreement with the HMIS Lead Agency where the SUBRECIPIENT agrees to share HMIS data with
other ESG funded agencies regarding clients that are served in ESG funded programs, unless prohibited by
law. A copy of such agreement shall be delivered to the CITY.
4. HMIS Data Input. SUBRECIPIENT must enter data directly into the HMIS system, and adhere to all
implementation guidelines developed under the Continuum of Cares, HMIS. Participation includes, but is not
limited to, the input of all programmatic and client data, the generation of all mandated monthly, quarterly and
close-out reports. Subrecipient must input client data no more than forty eight (48) hours after date of entry.
Services rendered to clients must be entered into HMIS within forty-eight (48) hours from date of services. All
clients who exit the program must have updated status in HMIS within forty eight (48) hours of actual exit
date. Failure to meet these HMIS data input compliance requirements will be a violation of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.

Outreach Policy and Procedures
Fair Housing
A. Outreach Procedures
▪ Sub-Recipient must communicate and make known that use of ESG funded facilities,
assistance and services are available to all on a nondiscriminatory basis. Sub-
Recipient must develop and implement written outreach procedures and
communication tools and materials to inform persons without regard to race, color,
ethnicity, religion, sex, age, national origin, familial status, or disability, how to
obtain access to facilities and services. If it appears the procedures Sub-Recipient
intends to use to accomplish this will not reach persons of any particular race, color,
religion, sex, age, national origin, familial status, or disability who may qualify for
those activities and services, Sub-Recipient must establish additional procedures to
ensure those persons are made aware of assistance opportunities. Outreach efforts
must comply with Program Standard #3—Emergency Shelter Operations (Safety and
Accommodations for Special Populations).
Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities must be available in order to ensure
disabled participants have an equal opportunity to utilize housing, including shelters,
and receive essential services. Greater levels of accessibility may be required for some
shelters in compliance with The Americans with Disabilities Act.
B. Nondiscrimination
Sub-Recipient is required to comply with all state and federal statutes relating to nondiscrimination.
Sub-Recipient may not take any of the following actions based on race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, familial status or handicap:
• Refuse to rent housing or provide services
• Make housing or services unavailable
• Deny a dwelling or service
• Set different terms, conditions or privileges for rental of a dwelling or obtaining services
• Provide different housing services or facilities or different services
• Falsely deny that housing is available for inspection or rental or that services are available
• Deny anyone access to a facility or service
