45. Subaward Language.
Pursuant to 2 C.R.F. Part 200.320, an agency must make a determination whether the scope
of work falls under a Subrecipient or Contractor relationship. The non-Federal entity may
32
concurrently receive Federal awards as a recipient, a subrecipient, and a contractor,
depending on the substance of its agreements with Federal awarding agencies and pass-
through entities. Therefore, a pass-through entity must make case-by-case determinations
whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of Federal program funds casts the
party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or a contractor. The Federal awarding
agency may supply and require recipients to comply with additional guidance to support these
determinations provided such guidance does not conflict with this section.
A. Subrecipients. A subaward is for the purpose of carrying out a portion of a Federal
award and creates a Federal assistance relationship with the subrecipient.
Characteristics which support the classification of the non-Federal entity as a
subrecipient include when the non-Federal entity:
i. Determines who is eligible to receive what Federal assistance;
ii. Has its performance measured in relation to whether objectives of a Federal
program were met;
iii. Has responsibility for programmatic decision making;
iv. Is responsible for adherence to applicable Federal program requirements specified
in the Federal award; and
v. In accordance with its agreement, uses the Federal funds to carry out a program for
a public purpose specified in authorizing statute, as opposed to providing goods or
services for the benefit of the pass-through entity.
B. Contractors. A contract is for the purpose of obtaining goods and services for the non-
Federal entity's own use and creates a procurement relationship with the contractor.
Characteristics indicative of a procurement relationship between the non-Federal entity
and a contractor are when the contractor:
i. Provides the goods and services within normal business operations;
ii. Provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers;
iii. Normally operates in a competitive environment;
iv. Provides goods or services that are ancillary to the operation of the Federal
program; and
v. Is not subject to compliance requirements of the Federal program as a result of the
agreement, though similar requirements may apply for other reasons.
C. Use of Judgment in Making Determination. In determining whether an agreement
between a pass-through entity and another non-Federal entity casts the latter as a
subrecipient or a contractor, the substance of the relationship is more important than
the form of the agreement. All of the characteristics listed above may not be present in
all cases, and the pass-through entity must use judgment in classifying each
agreement as a subaward or a procurement contract.
If the agency determines that the scope of work falls under a subrecipient relationship, all of the
33
information below must be included in any subaward agreement:
(i) Subrecipient agency name(which must Genesis Housing Services
match the name associated with its unique
entity identifier);
(ii) Subrecipient agency's unique entity 153660696
identifier(i.e. DUNS);
(iii) Federal Award Identification Number 22-96720-207
(FAIN) or Federal;
(iv) Federal Award Date; 10/06/2022
(v) Subrecipient agency Period of 12/07/2022-12/31/2024
Performance Start and End Date;
(vi) Amount of Federal Funds Obligated to the $335,161.00
subrecipient agency by this action;
(vii) Total Amount of Federal Funds Obligated $335,161.00
to the subreci lent a enc ;
(viii) Total Amount of the Federal Award $335,161.00
committed to the subrecipient;
(ix) Federal award project description, as Funds will cover sewer, water, stormwater
required to be responsive to the Federal improvements for a new affordable
Funding Accountability and Transparency housing project.
Act(FFATA)
(x) Name of Federal awarding agency, pass- Federal Awarding Agency:

amount made available under each Federal
award and the CFDA number at time of
disbursement;
(xii) Identification of whether the award is N/A
R&D;and _
(xiii) Indirect cost rate for the Federal Award N/A _
Is the agency a subrecipient for the purposes Yes
+ of this agreement?
The subawardee must be in compliance with the below and must note the required information
in their subaward agreements:
(1) A requirement that the subrecipient permit the pass-through entity and auditors to have
access to the subrecipient's records and financial statements as necessary for the
pass-through entity to meet the requirements of this part; and
(2) Appropriate terms and conditions concerning closeout of the subaward.
(3) All requirements imposed by the pass-through entity on the subrecipient so that the
34
Federal award is used in accordance with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms
and conditions of the Federal award;
(4) Any additional requirements that the pass-through entity imposes on the subrecipient in
order for the pass-through entity to meet its own responsibility to the Federal awarding
agency including identification of any required financial and performance reports;
(5) Evaluate each subrecipient's risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations,
and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of determining the
appropriate subrecipient monitoring described in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section,
which may include consideration of such factors as:
(a) The subrecipient's prior experience with the same or similar subawards;
(b) The results of previous audits including whether or not the subrecipient receives a
Single Audit in accordance with Subpart F—Audit Requirements of this part, and the
extent to which the same or similar subaward has been audited as a major program;
(c) Whether the subrecipient has new personnel or new or substantially changed
systems; and
(d) The extent and results of Federal awarding agency monitoring (e.g., if the
subrecipient also receives Federal awards directly from a Federal awarding agency).
(6) Consider imposing specific subaward conditions upon a subrecipient if appropriate as
described in §200.207 Specific conditions.
(7) Monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is
used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the
terms and conditions of the subaward; and that subaward performance goals are
achieved. Pass-through entity monitoring of the subrecipient must include:
(a) Reviewing financial and performance reports required by the pass-through entity.
(b) Following-up and ensuring that the subrecipient takes timely and appropriate action
on all deficiencies pertaining to the Federal award provided to the subrecipient from the
pass-through entity detected through audits, on-site reviews, and other means.
(c) Issuing a management decision for audit findings pertaining to the Federal award
provided to the subrecipient from the pass-through entity as required by §200.521
Management decision.
(8) Depending upon the pass-through entity's assessment of risk posed by the
subrecipient (as described in paragraph (b) of this section), the following monitoring
tools may be useful for the pass-through entity to ensure proper accountability and
compliance with program requirements and achievement of performance goals:
(a) Providing subrecipients with training and technical assistance on program-related
matters; and
(b) Performing on-site reviews of the subrecipient's program operations;
35
(c) Arranging for agreed-upon-procedures engagements as described in §200.425
Audit services.
(9) Verify that every subrecipient is audited as required by Subpart F—Audit Requirements
of this part when it is expected that the subrecipient's Federal awards expended during
the respective fiscal year equaled or exceeded the threshold set forth in §200.501
Audit requirements.
(10) Consider whether the results of the subrecipient's audits, on-site reviews, or other
monitoring indicate conditions that necessitate adjustments to the pass-through entity's
own records.
(11) Consider taking enforcement action against noncompliant subrecipients as described
in §200.338 Remedies for noncompliance of this part and in program regulations.
46.Affordability Covenant, Requirements, and Monitoring

developed by Commerce to ensure the terms of the appropriation are met, all grants must meet the
following criteria:
• Applicant must be a city, county or public utility district, applying in coordination with the
developer of a multi-unit affordable housing project, located within a jurisdiction that imposed a
sales and use tax under RCW 82.14.530(1)(a)(ii), 82.14.530(1)(b)(i)(B), 82.14.540, or 84.52.105.

Attachment A
• The utility project must serve new multi-unit affordable) housing projects that serve and benefit
low-income households.2 If the project is a mixed-income project, the affordable portion of the
development must be at least 25%.
• The affordable housing project should be part of a program that will monitor affordability for a
minimum of 25 years, such as the Housing Trust Fund, low-income housing tax credits, housing
authority, or a city monitoring process. A covenant and/or note and deed of trust may be required
as part of securitization to ensure affordability.
1 "Affordable housing" has the same meaning as in RCW 43.185A.010,and means residential housing for rental
occupancy which,as long as the same is occupied by low-income households, requires payment of monthly
housing costs,including utilities other than telephone,of no more than thirty percent of the family's income. In the
context of homeownership,the definition from the Housing Trust Fund Handbook applies(Section 701.7):
"affordability occurs when a household's monthly housing costs are generally no more than 38 percent of monthly
household income and total debt is no more than 45 percent of monthly household income. Housing costs include
mortgage principal,interest, property taxes, homeowner insurance, homeowner association fees,and land lease
fees,as applicable.Total debt includes other debt and utilities."
2"Low-income household"has the same definition as in RCW 43.185.010(6),and means a single person,family or
unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is less than eighty percent of the median family income,
adjusted for household size,for the county where the project is located.

Attachment A
Scope of Work
Reimburse waived water and sewer system development charges for the Genesis/Opportunity
Housing project that serves and benefits low-income households.
Based on the criteria within the state capital budget, SSB 1080 Sec 1074 (Laws of 2021), and
criteria developed by Commerce to ensure the terms of the appropriation are met, all grants must
meet the following criteria:
• Applicant must be a city, county or public utility district, applying in coordination with
the developer of a multi-unit affordable housing project, located within a jurisdiction that
imposed a sales and use tax under RCW 82.14.530(1)(a)(ii), 82.14.530(1)(b)(i)(B),
82.14.540, or 84.52.105.
• For system development charge waiver reimbursement,jurisdictions must have an
adopted fee waiver program, and documentation that the fees have been waived for the
affordable housing units by each provider for water, sewer, and stormwater, in
accordance with the budget.
• The utility project must serve new multi-unit affordable' housing projects that serve and
benefit low-income households.2 If the project is a mixed-income project,the affordable
portion of the development must be at least 25%. CHIP funds can pay for the system
development charges for the affordable units.
• The affordable housing project should be part of a program that will monitor affordability
for a minimum of 25 years, such as the Housing Trust Fund, low-income housing tax
credits, housing authority, or a city monitoring process. A covenant and/or note and deed
of trust may be required as part of securitization to ensure affordability.
' "Affordable housing"has the same meaning as in RCW 43.185A.010,and means residential housing for rental
occupancy which,as long as the same is occupied by low-income households,requires payment of monthly housing
costs,including utilities other than telephone,of no more than thirty percent of the family's income.In the context of
homeownership,the definition from the Housing Trust Fund Handbook applies(Section 701.7):"affordability
occurs when a household's monthly housing costs are generally no more than 38 percent of monthly household
income and total debt is no more than 45 percent of monthly household income.Housing costs include mortgage
principal,interest,property taxes,homeowner insurance,homeowner association fees,and land lease fees,as
applicable.Total debt includes other debt and utilities."
2"Low-income household"has the same definition as in RCW 43.185.010(6),and means a single person,family or
unrelated persons living together whose adjusted income is less than eighty percent of the median family income,
adjusted for household size,for the county where the project is located.

EXHIBIT D- CIVIL RIGHTS CERTIFICATION
CIVIL RIGHTS CERTIFICATION FORM
The funds provided to the grantee named below(hereinafter referred to as the"Grantee") are available under
section 603 of the Social Security Act, as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act.
Grantee understands and acknowledges that:
As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance from the Department of the Treasury, with monies
distributed through the City of Yakima, Grantee provides the assurances stated herein. The federal financial
assistance may include federal grants, loans and contracts to provide assistance to Grantee, the use or rent
of Federal land or property at below market value, Federal training, a loan of Federal personnel, subsidies,
and other arrangements with the intention of providing assistance. Federal financial assistance does not
encompass contracts of guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses, procurement contracts by
the Federal government at market value, or programs that provide direct benefits.
The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the assurances apply to all of the
operations of Grantee's program(s) and activity(ies), so long as any portion of Grantee's program(s) or
activity(ies) is federally assisted in the manner prescribed above
Grantee certifies the following:
1. Grantee ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, which prohibits exclusion from participation, denial of the benefits of, or subjection to
discrimination under programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, of any person in the
United States on the ground of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. §2000d et seq.), as
implemented by the Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other
pertinent executive orders such as Executive Order 13166, directives, circulars, policies, memoranda,
and/or guidance documents.
2. Grantee acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, "Improving Access to Services for Persons with
Limited English Proficiency," seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for
individuals who, because of national origin, have Limited English proficiency (LEP). Grantee
understands that denying a person access to its programs, services, and activities because of LEP is a
form of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the
Department of the Treasury's implementing regulations. Accordingly, Grantee shall initiate reasonable
steps, or comply with the Department of the Treasury's directives, to ensure that LEP persons have
meaningful access to its programs, services, and activities. Grantee understands and agrees that
meaningful access may entail providing language assistance services, including oral interpretation and
written translation where necessary, to ensure effective communication in Grantee's programs, services,
and activities.
3. Grantee agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons when Grantee develops
applicable budgets and conducts programs, services, and activities. As a resource, the Department of
the Treasury has published its LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information on taking reasonable
steps to provide meaningful access for LEP persons, please visit http://www.lep.gov.
4. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the assurances constitutes a condition of
continued receipt of federal financial assistance and is binding upon Grantee and its successors,
transferees, and assignees for the period in which such assistance is provided.
5. Grantee shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits Grantees of federal
financial assistance from excluding from a program or activity, denying benefits of, or otherwise
discriminating against a person on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. §2000d et
seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury's Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which
are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this contract(or agreement). Title VI also
includes protection to persons with "Limited English Proficiency" in any program or activity receiving
federal financial assistance, 42 U.S.C. §2000d et seq., as implemented by the Department of the
Treasury's Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by reference and made a part
of this contract or agreement.
6. Grantee understands and agrees that if any real property or structure is provided or improved with the
aid of federal financial assistance by the Department of the Treasury, this assurance obligates Grantee,
88
or in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the period during which the real property or
structure is used for a purpose for which the federal financial assistance is extended or for another
purpose involving the provision of similar services or benefits. If any personal property is provided, this
assurance obligates the Contractor for the period during which it retains ownership or possession of the
property.
7. Grantee shall cooperate in any enforcement or compliance review activities by the Department of the
Treasury of the aforementioned obligations. Enforcement may include investigation, arbitration,
mediation, litigation, and monitoring of any settlement agreements that may result from these actions.
Grantee shall comply with information requests, on-site compliance reviews and reporting requirements.
8. Grantee shall maintain a complaint log and inform the Department of the Treasury of any complaints of
discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, and limited English proficiency covered
by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and implementing regulations and provide, upon request, a list
of all such reviews or proceedings based on the complaint, pending or completed, including outcome.
Grantee also must inform the Department of the Treasury if Contractor has received no complaints
under Title VI.
9. Grantee must provide documentation of an administrative agency's or court's findings of non-
compliance of Title VI and efforts to address the non-compliance, including any voluntary compliance or
other agreements between the Contractor and the administrative agency that made the finding. If
Grantee settles a case or matter alleging such discrimination, Grantee must provide documentation of
the settlement. If Grantee has not been the subject of any court or administrative agency finding of
discrimination, please so state.
10. The United States of America has the right to seek judicial enforcement of the terms of this assurances
document and nothing in this document alters or limits the federal enforcement measures that the
United States may take in order to address violations of this document or applicable federal law.
I hereby certify that I have read and understood the obligations described above,that Grantee is in
compliance with the above-described nondiscrimination requirements, and by my signature on this
document, acknowledge my understanding that any intentional or negligent misrepresentation or
falsification of any information submitted in conjunction with this document could subject me to
punishment under federal, civil liability and/or in criminal penalties, including but not limited to fine or
