The Owner shall annually provide to the City a detailed accounting of operating expenses and shall make available its books and records to the City for inspection and copying, upon reasonable advance notice during its normal hours of business. City shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay City's approval of the annual operating budget, or any amendments thereto.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
58 Mulberry Gardens Family Apartments
Site and Project Information
1. Project Overview
Located at 2560 Mulberry Street in Riverside, CA near the southeast corner of Mulberry Street and Holding Street, Mulberry Gardens Family Apartments will be a new 150-unit Family community affordable to a wide range of income levels.
Mulberry Gardens Family Apartments will consist of three four-story adjoined buildings with 150 apartment units, which include a mix of 73 one-bedroom units, 39 two-bedroom units, and 38 three- bedroom units. All restricted units will be targeted to households earning between 30%-60% of the area median income. A two- bedroom manager's unit will also be provided. Additionally, thirty-seven homes will support Section 8 Project Based Vouchers to ensure households are not paying more than 30% of their income in rent.
2. Current Use of Property
Mulberry Gardens Family Apartments will be developed on a vacant 2.81-acre State- owned property, which previously housed the regional command center for CalFire. Mulberry Gardens Family Apartments will be the second of two phases of affordable housing built by Eden Housing on the State- owned site. The first phase, which received a 9% tax credit allocation in 2023 and is currently under construction directly north of the Mulberry Family Apartments Subject site, will consist of 59 senior housing units when complete. Although Eden Housing, Inc. will be the Sponsor, Developer, and Managing General Partner of both project phases, the two phases are being developed independently of each other as two stand-alone projects with separate ownership entities.
3. Adjacent Land Uses
Access to the site is from the south side of Holding Street, a two-lane neighborhood connector street providing access to Mulberry Street. Mulberry Street is a two-lane neighborhood street that traverses northeast/southwest and provides access to Spruce Street to the north. Spruce street traverses generally east/west through northern Riverside, providing access to major thoroughfares such as the Riverside Freeway and Interstate 215. The Riverside Freeway is adjacent to the east of the Subject, and traverses' northeast/southwest through central Riverside, providing access to all areas of the city.
Interstate 215 is a north/south traversing highway that provides access to much of Southern The Subject site is in a mixed-use neighborhood. Views to the north consist of an industrial lot and further beyond other mixed-use commercial buildings, all in 59 average condition. Views to the west consist of single-family homes, all in average condition. Views to the south consist of an industrial lot in average condition and the Riverside Freeway further beyond.
Views to the east consist of the Riverside Freeway.
The project is surrounded by a mix of commercial and residential uses. North: United Rentals (Commercial)
West: Single-family residences (Residential) South:
Sema Construction Facility (Commercial) East:
Riverside Freeway
4. The Design
Mulberry Gardens Family Apartments will be built using Type V-A slab-on-grade construction. The meaning that these units will have an accessible route into and through the units, flexibility for grab bar installation in showers and bathtubs, and kitchens and one or more bathroom in each unit that can easily be used by people in wheelchairs. In units with more than one bathroom, only one is required to be fully accessible in mobility units or fully adaptable units, and the other can be a standard bathroom.
Two elevators are provided, and all floors of the elevator accessible. Additionally, public and common areas are made accessible to persons with disabilities, with doors and hallways that are wide enough for wheelchair access.
Resident amenities have been carefully selected and arranged to appeal to the diverse age of residents and to accommodate the services that will be delivered on- site. A spacious community room with kitchen, a computer lab, family room, offices for management and service coordination, mail room, restrooms, and laundry facilities will be some of the on-site amenities provided Project Statistics - At a Glance

Site Design and Landscaping Narrative
Outdoor open spaces are carefully arranged on the site to create "loud" and "quiet" zones that will allow for a broad range of age groups on site to engage in activities that suit their needs. A playground area, which is located adjacent to the Senior Phase I project consists of 1,804 SF of engineered wood fiber playground surface with a climbing structure, a tot lot, play wooden boat structure, two springers and benches. Resident safety in these spaces is a priority and along with an n-site manager available at any time, security cameras are provided in the stairwells, the elevato n all corridors and common areas. and throughout the project exterio
5. Sustainable and Green Building Elements
Resident health is also directly tied to the responsible stewardship of our local ecosystems and global biosphere. With this need in mind, Eden Housing prioritizes sustainability. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth by the California Energy Efficiency Standards and California Green Building Code, this community meets standards in the Greenpoint Rated program and includes all-electric appliances, low-flow plumbing, stormwater retention, and drought-tolerant flora native to Southern California.
Aesthetically, building design is focused on respecting adjacent single-family homes by adopting a language and scale suitable to a residential neighborhood. At four-stories, the building design balances density with an understanding of context, with architectural elements that step down to 1 and 2-story elements creating a comfortable pedestrian scale at the street level. Large windows and pitched roofs evoke a townhouse typology consistent with the surrounding homes, while neutral paint tones breakup massing and keep the building from dominating the streetscape.
Above all, the community's planning and design aim to invite connection between residents and the neighboring families that already live here—to make everyone here feel "at-home." 61 6. Unique Features

Failure of the City or other holder hereof to exercise any right or remedy hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any future or other default. No acceptance of a past due installment or indulgence granted from time to time shall be construed to be a waiver of, or to preclude the exercise of, the right to insist upon prompt payment thereafter or to impose late charges retroactively or prospectively, or to waiver or preclude the exercise of, the right to insist upon prompt payment thereafter or to impose late charges retroactively or prospectively, or to waive or preclude the exercise of any other rights which the City may have.

In such event Trustor further agrees to cause all bills, statements or other documents relating to Impositions to be sent or mailed directly to Beneficiary. Upon receipt of such bills, statements or other documents, and providing Trustor has deposited sufficient Impounds with Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 1.8(b), Beneficiary shall timely pay such amounts as may be due thereunder out of the Impounds so deposited with Beneficiary. If at any time and for any reason the Impounds deposited with Beneficiary are or will be insufficient to pay such amounts as may then or subsequently be due, Beneficiary may notify Trustor and upon such notice Trustor shall deposit immediately an amount equal to such deficiency with Beneficiary. If after the payment of the Impositions there shall be an excess amount held by Beneficiary, such excess amount shall be refunded to Trustor in any manner and in such amount as Beneficiary may elect.
Beneficiary may commingle Impounds with its own funds and shall not be obligated to pay or allow any interest on any Impounds held by Beneficiary pending disbursement or application 7 CA #24-2011.5 SBM 7/25/2025

The receipt, use or application of any such Impounds paid by Trustor to Beneficiary hereunder shall not be construed to affect the maturity of any indebtedness secured by this HOME Deed of Trust or any of the rights or powers of Beneficiary or Trustee under the terms of the HOME Loan Documents or any of the obligations of Trustor or any guarantor under the HOME Loan Documents.
(d) Trustor shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of any real and personal property which may constitute any portion of the Trust Estate or suffer, permit or initiate any other procedure whereby the lien of the real property taxes and the lien of the personal property taxes shall be assessed, levied or charged to the Trust Estate, or any portion of it, as a single lien.

If all of the above conditions are met, Beneficiary shall disburse the Condemnation Proceeds only as repairs or replacements are effected and continuing expenses become due and payable.

The taking of additional security, execution of partial releases of the security, or any extension of the time of payment of the indebtedness shall not diminish the force, effect or lien of this HOME Deed of Trust and shall not affect or impair the liability of any Trustor, surety or endorser for the payment of the indebtedness. In the event Beneficiary at any time holds additional security for any of the obligations secured hereby, it may enforce the sale thereof or otherwise realize upon the same, at its option, either before, concurrently, or after a sale is made hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trustor agrees that Beneficiary will have the same right, power and authority to enter and inspect the Property and the Improvements as is granted to a secured lender under Section 2929.5 of the California Civil Code, and that Beneficiary will have the right to appoint a receiver to enforce this right to enter and inspect the Property and the Improvements to the extent such authority is provided under California law, including the authority given to a secured lender under Section 564(c) of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
1.17 Liens. Trustor shall pay and promptly discharge, at Trustor's cost and expense, all liens, encumbrances and charges upon the Trust Estate, or any part thereof or interest therein, subject to Trustor's right to contest in good faith any such liens, encumbrances and charges. The Trustor shall remove or have removed any levy or attachment made on any of the Property or any part thereof, or assure the satisfaction thereof within a reasonable time. Despite the foregoing, Trustor shall not be required to prepay any consensual lien or encumbrance against the Trust Estate which has been consented to in writing by Beneficiary. If Trustor shall fail to remove and discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Beneficiary, Beneficiary may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien, encumbrance or charge by depositing in a court a bond or the amount claimed or otherwise giving security for such claim, or by procuring such discharge in such manner as is or may be prescribed by law. Trustor shall, immediately upon demand therefor by Beneficiary, pay to Beneficiary an amount equal to all costs and expenses incurred by Beneficiary in connection with the exercise by Beneficiary of the foregoing right to discharge any such lien, encumbrance or charge, together with interest thereon from the date of such expenditure at the Default Rate.
1.18 Trustee's Powers. At any time, or from time to time, without liability therefor and without notice, upon written request of Beneficiary and presentation of this HOME Deed of Trust 11 CA #24-2011.5 SBM 7/25/2025

1.19 Beneficiary's Powers. Without affecting the liability of any other person liable for the payment of any obligation herein mentioned, and without affecting the lien or charge of this HOME Deed of Trust upon any portion of the Trust Estate not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of all unpaid obligations, Beneficiary may, from time to time and without notice (a) release any person so liable, (b) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of any such obligation, (c) grant other indulgences, (d) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Beneficiary's option any parcel, portion or all of the Trust Estate, (e) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (f) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.
1.20 Personal Liability. The security interest in the Property granted to Beneficiary pursuant to this HOME Deed of Trust shall be subordinate only to the senior financing to which Beneficiary has expressly subordinated and such exceptions to title shown in the title report for the Property which are approved in writing by Beneficiary. Neither the Trustor nor any partner or officer of the Trustor shall have any direct or indirect personal liability for payment of the principal of, or interest on, the HOME Promissory Note. The HOME Promissory Note constitutes a recourse obligation of Trustor until recordation of the Release of Construction Covenants in the official records of the County of Riverside, California.
Subsequent to the recordation of the Release of Construction Covenants in the official records of the County of Riverside, California, the sole recourse of the Beneficiary with respect to the principal of, or interest on, the HOME Promissory Note shall be to the Property securing the indebtedness evidenced by the HOME Promissory Note. No judgment, or execution thereon, entered in any action, legal or equitable, on the HOME Promissory Note or this HOME Deed of Trust securing the HOME Promissory Note shall be enforced personally against the Trustor or, if the Trustor shall be a partnership, any partner of the Trustor, but shall be enforced only against the Trustor and such other or further security as, from time to time, may be hypothecated for the HOME Promissory Note; provided, however, that nothing contained in the foregoing limitation of liability shall (a) limit or impair the enforcement against all such security for the HOME Promissory Note of all the rights and remedies of the Beneficiary, or (b) be deemed in any way to impair the right of the Beneficiary to assert the unpaid principal amount of the HOME Promissory Note as a demand for money within the meaning and intendment of Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any successor provision thereto. The foregoing limitation of liability is intended to apply only to the obligation for the repayment of the principal of, and payment of interest on the HOME Promissory Note; nothing contained therein is intended to relieve the Trustor and, if Trustor is a partnership, any general partner of Trustor of liability for (i) fraud or willful misrepresentation; (ii) the failure to pay taxes, assessments or other charges which may create liens on the real property described in the HOME Loan Documents that are payable or applicable prior to any foreclosure under this HOME Deed of Trust (to the full extent of such taxes, 12 CA #24-2011.5 SBM 7/25/2025
assessments or other charges); (iii) the retention of any rental income or other income arising with respect to the Project collected by Trustor after the Beneficiary has given any notice that Trustor is in default to the full extent of the rental income or other income retained and collected by Trustor after the giving of any such notice; (iv) the fair market value as of the time of the giving of any notice referred to in subparagraph (iii) above of any personal property or fixtures removed or disposed of by Trustor other than in accordance with the HOME Loan Documents after the giving of any notice referred to above; and (v) the misapplication of any proceeds under any insurance policies or awards resulting from condemnation or the exercise of the power of eminent domain or by reason of damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the Project; and (vi) breach of any environmental covenant or representation made by the Trustor relating to the Project.
Indemnity. In addition to any other indemnities to Beneficiary specifically provided for in this HOME Deed of Trust and/or in the HOME Loan Agreement, Trustor hereby indemnifies, and shall defend and save harmless, Beneficiary and its authorized representatives from and against any and all losses, liabilities, suits, obligations, fines, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including, without limitation, architects , engineers' and attorneys' fees and all disbursements which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Beneficiary and its authorized representative by reason of: (a) the construction of any improvements on the Property, (b) any capital improvements, other work or things done in, on or about the Property or any part thereof, (c) any use, nonuse, misuse, possession, occupation, alteration, operation, maintenance or management of any portion of the Trust Estate or any part thereof or any street, drive, sidewalk, curb, passageway or space comprising a part thereof or adjacent thereto, (d) any negligence or willful act or omission on the part of Trustor and its agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees or invitees, (e) any accident, injury (including death or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof, (f) any lien or claim which may be alleged to have arisen on, against, or with respect to any portion of the Trust Estate under the laws of the local or state government or any other governmental or quasi-governmental authority or any liability asserted against Beneficiary with respect thereto, (g) any tax attributable to the execution, delivery, filing or recording of this HOME Deed of Trust, the HOME Promissory Note or the HOME Loan Agreement, (h) any contest due to Trustor's actions or failure to act, permitted pursuant to the provisions of this HOME Deed of Trust, (i) subject to the nonrecourse provisions set forth in Section 1.21, any Event of Default under the HOME Promissory Note, the HOME Regulatory Agreement, this HOME Deed of Trust or the HOME Loan Agreement, or (i) any claim by or liability to any contractor or subcontractor performing work or any party supplying materials in connection with the Property or the Improvements, except to the extent caused by the Beneficiary's sole negligence or willful misconduct.

Upon the request of Beneficiary, Trustor shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary, in recordable form, a specific assignment of any leases now or hereafter affecting the Trust Estate or any portion thereof to evidence further the assignment hereby made.

(c) Subject to California Civil Code ' 2924g, Trustee may postpone sale of all or any portion of the Trust Estate by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale, and without further notice make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a new notice of sale.
3.4 Appointment of Receiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Beneficiary, as a matter of right and without notice to Trustor or anyone claiming under Trustor, and without regard to the then value of the Trust Estate or the adequacy for any security for the obligations then secured hereby, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate, and Trustor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor. Any such receiver or receivers shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Beneficiary in case of entry as provided herein.
Remedies Not Exclusive. Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce payment and performance of any indebtedness or obligations secured hereby and to exercise all rights and powers under this HOME Deed of Trust or under any HOME Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the indebtedness and obligations secured hereby may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this HOME Deed of Trust nor its enforcement whether by court action or pursuant to the power of sale or other powers herein contained, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Trustee's or Beneficiary's right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Trustee or Beneficiary, it being agreed that Trustee and Beneficiary, and each of them, shall be entitled to enforce this HOME Deed of Trust and any other security now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or Trustee in such order and manner as they or either of them may in their absolute discretion determine. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Trustee or Beneficiary is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the HOME Loan Documents to Trustee or Beneficiary or to which either of them may be otherwise entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Trustee or Beneficiary and either of them may pursue inconsistent remedies.

16 CA #24-2011.5 SBM 7/25/2025
3.7 Forbearance by Lender Not a Waiver. Any forbearance by Beneficiary in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy. The acceptance by Beneficiary of payment of any sum secured by this HOME Deed of Trust after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of Beneficiary's right either to require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare an Event of Default for failure to make prompt payment. The procurement of insurance or this payment of taxes or other liens or charges by Beneficiary shall not be a waiver of Beneficiary's right to accelerate the maturity of the indebtedness secured by this HOME Deed of Trust nor shall Beneficiary's receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages under this HOME Deed of Trust operate to cure or waive any Event of Default with respect to any payment secured by this HOME Deed of Trust.
Environmental Provisions. Without limiting any of the remedies provided in the HOME Loan Documents, Trustor acknowledges and agrees that portions of Section 4 of the HOME Loan Agreement and Section 1.2 of this HOME Deed of Trust are environmental provisions (as defined in Section 736(f)(2) of the California Code of Civil Procedure) made by the Trustor relating to the real property security (the "Environmental Provisions"), and that Trustor's failure to comply with the Environmental Provisions is a breach of contract such that Beneficiary shall have the remedies provided under Section 736 of the California Code of Civil Procedure ("Section 736) for the recovery of damages and for the enforcement of the Environmental Provisions. Pursuant to Section 736, Beneficiary's action for recovery of damages or enforcement of the Environmental Provisions shall not constitute an action within the meaning of Section 726(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or constitute a money judgment for a deficiency or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Other than the remedy provided under Section 736, all remedies provided for by the HOME Loan Documents are separate and distinct causes of action that are not abrogated, modified, limited or otherwise affected by the remedies provided under Section 736(a) of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

CITY OF RIVERSIDE
AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING PLAN
To further the commitment to nondiscrimination and equal opportunity in housing, and in accordance with the regulations of the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), the City of Riverside (City) has established procedures to affirmatively market HOME-assisted housing units.
The City is committed to meeting the goals of affirmative marketing in furtherance of our fair housing objectives. As part of this commitment, the City requires HOME subrecipients, including • Contract Administrators, Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), Developers, and other subrecipients of HOME Program funds to comply with the affirmative marketing requirements. Subrecipients administering HOME funds must adopt policies and procedures that inform the public, potential tenants, homebuyers, homeowners, and rental property owners of their program through an Affirmative Marketing Plan (AMP or Plan).
As part of efforts to ensure that available housing is marketed to persons not likely to apply for such housing, subrecipients are encouraged to make HOME information available in non-English languages spoken by those residing in or near the community. Furthermore, subrecipients are encouraged to distribute marketing materials to area social service agencies that work with minorities and disabled individuals.
I Overview of Affirmative Marketing
A. An Affirmative Marketing Plan (Plan) and affirmative marketing procedures are required for subrecipient of HOME funds. Affirmative marketing procedures must continue throughout the length of the program, including the period of affordability. For homebuyer assistance and homeowner rehabilitation, the plan remains in effect until HOME-funded activities are completed. For single-family homeownership dwellings, the plan remains in effect until all the dwelling units are sold.
B. Affirmative marketing should be an integral part of any project's overall marketing effort Affirmative marketing typically consists of efforts to inform persons that are "least likely to apply" or under-represented in a neighborhood or community about opportunities for housing under the HOME program. Through the Plan, a subrecipient indicates what special efforts the subrecipient will make to attract racial, ethnic, and other groups or communities who might not normally seek housing assistance. Affirmative marketing does not limit choices; choices are expanded to include those that might not otherwise be considered because of past discrimination. Increasingly, communities which make a long- term commitment to racial and ethnic diversity have found their efforts rewarded by increasing property values.
C. Affirmative marketing adds little to the cost of a project. Most of the cost associated with affirmative marketing is already reflected in the project's broader marketing budget.
II. Minimum Affirmative Marketing Plan Requirements
A. Subrecipeints must approve and distribute an Affirmative Marketing Plan that will be used to attract prospective applicants of all minority and non-minority groups regardless of their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, familial status, or religious affiliation. Racial groups to be marketed to may include White, African American, Native American, Alaskan Native, Asian, Native Hawaiians or Other Pacific Islanders. Other groups who may be subject to housing discrimination include, but are not limited to, Hispanic or Latino groups, persons with disabilities, families with children, or persons with different religious affiliations. For multifamily developments, the Affirmative Marketing Plan must be provided to the property management and onsite staff. Single family administrators must be readily available to staff administering the program for use in selection of applicants that will be served.
B. Subrecipient are not required to use HUD forms 935.2A for multi-family projects or 935.2B for single family activities; however development owners and subrecipients are encouraged to use these forms. Regardless of format, Affirmative Marketing Plan and related records must include:
1. A list of the group(s) that are least likely to apply for housing without special outreach.
All multi-family developments must select persons with disabilities as one of the groups identified as least likely to apply. When identifying racial/ethnic minority groups that will be marketed to, factors such as the characteristics of the housing's market area should be considered.
2. Procedures that will be used to inform and solicit applications from persons who are least likely to apply. Specific media and community contacts that reach those groups designated as least likely to apply must be identified (community outreach contacts may include neighborhood, minority, or women's organizations, grass roots faith- based or community-based organizations, labor unions, employers, public and private agencies, disability advocates, or other groups or individuals well known in the community that connect with the identified group(s)).
3. How the subrecipients will assess the success of Affirmative Marketing efforts.
Affirmative Marketing Plans should be reviewed on an annual basis to determine if changes should be made and plans must be updated every five (5) years to fully capture demographic changes in the housing's market area.
C. At a minimum, the Plan will require projects involving five (5) or more HOME-assisted units to comply with the following:
1. Prior to sales or rental activity (or marketing of homebuyer assistance, or rehabilitation program), the subrecipient shall identify community contacts (individuals, organizations, or agencies) actively involved with serving low-income persons who would benefit from specific outreach efforts.
2. Any AMP which includes homeownership should require that potential home purchasers receive homeownership counseling and education.
3. If any rental units are publicly advertised during the period of affordability, the Equal Housing Opportunity logo must accompany the advertisement.
4. For multifamily developments, the AMP must provide that the developer will issue press releases announcing available units that will be circulated to media outlets within the marketing and outreach area. The press releases should include: location of the units; total number of units available; bedroom sizes of the units; rents or purchase price; income requirements and limits; building amenities and features; and neighborhood amenities.
5. Information about available units at different developments may appear in combined press releases, as appropriate; this is especially encouraged for small developments including those with four units or less. Issuance of the initial press release will coincide with the commencement of the initial marketing period.
6. The subrecipient (or its agent, if applicable) must display the HUD fair housing poster in an area accessible to the public, such as the rental office or project office.
7. The subrecipient (or its agent, if applicable) will collect information on the race and ethnicity of program applicants to demonstrate the results of the owner's affirmative marketing efforts.
8. For rental projects, the subrecipient/owner (or its agent, if applicable) will, for the entire period of affordability, maintain information demonstrating compliance, and will make such information available to TDHCA, HUD and other regulatory agencies and official public information requests during HOME onsite inspections, or upon request.
9. The Plan must be signed by an authorized official of the sponsoring or ownership organization. By signing the Plan, the subrecipient assumes full responsibility for its implementation and agrees to make any changes which may be required to assure continued compliance with the marketing requirement of 24 CFR §200.620. The agreement to make changes is also applicable to Plans covering rental projects during the affordability period. With respect to single family subdivisions, the subrecipient may request changes to the Plan only during the initial sales period.
10. The Plan must reference and include methods for informing the public, owners, and potential tenants about the following state and federal laws and executive orders, including, but not limited to:
a. The Fair Housing Act - Title VIII of the Civil Rights Action of 1968, as amended;
b. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964;
c. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; d. Executive Order 11063, as amended by Executive Order 12259; e. Executive Order 12892, Leadership and Coordination of Fair Housing; f. Texas Fair Housing Act; and
g. Americans with Disabilities Act, as applicable.
Procedures for Implementing an Affirmative Marketing Plan A. When implementing the AMP, the subrecipient must do the following:
1. Targeting: Identify the segments of the eligible population that are least likely to apply for housing without special outreach efforts.
2. Outreach: Outline an outreach program that includes special measures designed to attract those groups identified as least likely to apply and other efforts designed to attract persons from the total population.
3. Indicators: State the indicators to be used to measure the success of the marketing program. The effectiveness of the marketing program can be determined by noting f the program effectively attracted buyers or renters who are a. Under-represented in the population of the housing market area where the HOME program will be operated;
b. Persons with disabilities and their families;
c. Families with children, unless exempted; or
d. Are members of a protected class.
4. Staff Training: Demonstrate the capacity to provide training and information on fair housing laws and objectives to project or rental staff. : 5. Good Faith Effort: Subrecipient are required to make a good faith effort to carry out the provisions of their approved plan. Good faith efforts are recorded activities and documented outreach to those individuals identified as least likely to apply Examples of such efforts include:
a. Advertising in print and electronic media that is used by those identified as least likely to apply. The press release or electronic media should contain the Equal Housing Opportunity slogan for press releases and the electronic media should contain the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype. b. Marketing housing to specific community groups or organizations frequented by those least likely to apply.
c. Developing a brochure or handout that describes the HOME program that will be administered and the housing that will be constructed by the subrecipient or the rental assistance program that will be offered to applicants. The brochure or handout may include a range of information which influences decisions regarding housing choices.
i. The brochure or handout should communicate the subrecipient Equal Housing Opportunity policy. The Equal Housing Opportunity policy should be consistent with the Fair Housing Advertising guidelines. All brochures and handouts must contain the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype.
ii. For the subrecipient that administers the HOME Housing Rehabilitation Program, highlighting the benefits, such accessibility modifications, energy efficiency of the homes that will be reconstructed/constructed and increased property value is valuable.
For the subrecipient that administers the HOME homebuyer or downpayment assistance programs the brochure should highlight the benefits of homeownership and the type of downpayment assistance that will be provided.
iv. For subrecipients that administer a CHDO, HUD's Fair Housing Poster must be conspicuously displayed wherever sales/rentals and d.

1. The special outreach activities undertaken to attract groups that are least likely to apply and also the general public that applies for the housing;
2. How the groups considered least likely to apply were identified;
3. Race and ethnicity of all persons applying for the housing; and

FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA)
FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY ACT (FFATA) The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA or "Transparency Act") was signed on September 26, 2006. The FFATA legislation requires information on federal awards (federal financial assistance and expenditures) be made available to the public via a single, searchable website, which is www.USASpending.gov.
The FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) is the reporting tool Federal prime awardees (i.e. rime contractors and prime grants recipients) use to capture and report subaward and executi ompensation data regarding their first-tier subawards to meet the FFATA reporting requirement Prime contract awardees will report against sub-contracts awarded and prime grant awardees will report against sub-grants awarded. The sub-award information entered in FSRS will then be displayed on www.USASpending. gov associated with the prime award furthering Federal spending transparency.
The Transparency Act requires information disclosure concerning entities receiving Federal financial assistance through Federal awards such as Federal contracts, sub-contracts, grants, and sub-grants.
