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