For any project funded by this grant, which is also financed through the
use of the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, the following applies:
HUD recognizes that the Recipient or the project sponsor will or has
financed this project through the use of the Low - Income Housing Tax
Credit. The Recipient or project sponsor shall be the general partner of a
limited partnership formed for that purpose. If grant funds were used for
acquisition, rehabilitation or construction, then, throughout a period of
twenty years from the date of initial occupancy or the initial service
provision, the Recipient or project sponsor shall continue as general
partner and shall ensure that the project is operated in accordance with
the requirements of this Grant Agreement, the applicable regulations and
statutes. Further, the said limited partnership shall own the project site
throughout that twenty -year period. If grant funds were not used for
acquisition, rehabilitation or new construction, then the period shall not be
twenty years, but shall be for the term of the grant agreement and any
renewal thereof. Failure to comply with the terms of this paragraph shall
constitute a default under the Grant Agreement.
A default shall consist of any use of grant funds for a purpose other
than as authorized by this Grant Agreement, failure in the Recipient's duty
to provide the supportive housing for the minimum term in accordance
with the requirements of Attachment A, noncompliance with the Act or
Attachment A provisions, any other material breach of the Grant
Agreement, or misrepresentations in the application submissions which, if
known by HUD, would have resulted in this grant not being provided.
Upon due notice to the Recipient of the occurrence of any such default
and the provision of a reasonable opportunity to respond, HUD may take
one or more of the following actions:
(a) direct the Recipient to submit progress schedules for completing
approved activities; or
(b) issue a letter of warning advising the Recipient of the default,
establishing a date by which corrective actions must be completed and
putting the Recipient on notice that more serious actions will be taken if
the default is not corrected or is repeated; or
(c) direct the Recipient to establish and maintain a management plan
that assigns responsibilities for carrying out remedial actions; or
(d) direct the Recipient to suspend, discontinue or not incur costs for
the affected activity; or
