request the Loan Specialist to review the application and supporting materials. She /he will use HUD's online income calculator to determine if each applicant qualifies as low income. The City will use HUD's Part 5 definition of income to make this determination. Beginning July 1, 2010 the City will use HUD's "adjusted" 80 percent of area median income numbers as its low- income standard. As of June 26, 2010 those numbers are as follows: Household Size Maximum Income Household Size Maximum Income One Person $52,050 Five Persons $80,250 Two Persons $59,450 Six Persons $86,200 Three Persons $66,900 Seven Persons $92,150 Four Persons $74,300 Eight Persons $98,100 The Loan Specialist will contact the subrecipient to request any additional information that may be required. She /he will not contact the applicant. Once approved, the Loan Specialist will have a file prepared that contains the application and income certification material and submit it to the Analyst. Subrecipients have the option to submit income verification material at the time they request payment. It is not recommended that they do so because one or more of the households they assist may not be eligible. In those cases no reimbursement will be forthcoming. Once the Analyst has received the income certification from the Loan Specialist, and the Analyst has received the environmental clearance documentation from PBA, he /she will inform the subrecipient that work can proceed on this project. For homes built before 1978, the subrecipient will then order a lead paint test at this time, or make a decision to presume the presence of lead based paint. As test results are obtained, the subrecipient will inform the Analyst of those results. The subrecipient will provide the Analyst with a work schedule indicating when each home is due to be repaired. If possible, the Analyst will request that the RCS visit each work site to determine that, where necessary, safe work practices are being followed and the work is being supervised by a person with the appropriate certification. Should the RCS determine that safe work practices are not being followed or appropriate supervisory personnel are not present, he will immediately order all work to cease. The City will not reimburse the subrecipient for work performed on any homes where safe work practices were required but not followed. Once the work is complete, the RCS and a representative of the subrecipient will jointly inspect each worksite. The RCS will prepare and sign a Certificate of Completion noting the work items that were completed, and whether or not the work appears to have been performed in accordance with the City's rehabilitation standards. Work not performed in accordance with such standards must be rectified before payment can be made. Exhibit D Page 4 of 4
