B. MATCH REPORT <br />Recipients of HOME funds are required to match each HOME dollar spent during the report <br />period. Typically, a HOME Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) is required to match HOME funds at a <br />ratio of one non-federal dollar for every four HOME dollars spent (i.e. 25%). The City has been <br />notified by HUD that for the 2008-2009 report period, the HOME match requirement has been <br />reduced to 0% because the City's "family poverty rate" was 125% or more of the average <br />national poverty rate, and the City's per capita income was less than 75% of the national <br />average. Even though the City does not have a match obligation, a record of eligible HOME <br />match has been maintained -the City logged over $700,000 in HOME match for the 2008-2009 <br />report period (see FORM HUD-4107A-EXHIBIT 10). <br />C. MINORITY He WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISES CONTRACTS & SUBCONTRACT <br />The City is required to report HOME resources awarded to Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) <br />and Women Business Enterprises (WBE) via contracts and subcontracts. PART III of HUD FORM <br />4107 (EXHIBIT 10) provides this information. <br />D.

HOME regulations require annual <br />inspections of projects with 26 or more HOME assisted units; inspections every two years for <br />projects with five to 25 HOME assisted units, and inspections every three years for projects with <br />one to four HOME assisted units. <br />Three hundred forty-nine HOME-assisted rental units (within 21 buildings) were inspected <br />during the 2008-2009 report period -the majority of units are owned and managed by CHDOs. <br />While the vast majority of these units passed initial housing quality standards inspection some <br />units required minor corrections. Typical required repairs included fixing leaky faucets, <br />tightening loose toilets, replacing inoperable smoke detectors and cleaning floor coverings. <br />Several more HOME-assisted rental projects are scheduled for inspection during 2009-2010. <br />Affirmative Marketing Actions to Minority & Women Owned Businesses <br />As a participating jurisdiction in the HOME and CDBG programs, the City has adopted the <br />following affirmative marketing policies for minority and women owned businesses: <br />46 Draft 8/26/2009 <br />19F-52 <br />
