Hal Daub,Mayor
Honorable President
and Members of the City Council,
The attached Resolution authorizes the City of Omaha to accept and the Mayor to execute a grant
agreement between the City of Omaha and the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) for funding under HUD's 2000 Continuum of Care - Supportive Housing
Program. This funding, in the amount of $380,619, is for the provision of services for the
Family Housing Advisory Services, Inc., project entitled, "Client Advocacy, Client Tracking &
the Omaha Area Continuum of Care Information System" (FY 2000, Fund 190, Agency 200,
Organization 8004).
In February of 2000, HUD advertised its competition for the new round of Continuum of Care
for the Homeless Assistance designed to help communities develop "continuum of care" systems
for combating homelessness. Upon learning of the available funding, the Planning Department
undertook an inclusive effort to develop proposals from members of the Omaha Area Continuum
of Care for the Homeless and to establish project priorities. All "continuum" agencies and
programs were invited to participate in this process.
Nine projects were conditionally selected by HUD for funding. The total amount of supportive
housing funding for all nine projects is $2,337,423.
Upon approval of this Resolution, a separate subrecipient agreement for the sub-grantee (i.e.,
Family Housing Advisory Services, Inc.) will be forwarded to the City Council for approval.
This and the other Continuum of Care Programs considered for funding will help provide a
comprehensive approach to the development and implementation of housing and service delivery
programs designed to help homeless individuals and families move to permanent housing and
self-sufficiency.

application submissions on the basis of which a Grant was approved by HUD, including the certifications

subject to the terms of the Grant Agreement, to provide the grant funds in the amount specified below for
the approved project described in the application.
Although this agreement will become effective only upon the execution hereof by both parties,
upon execution, the term of this agreement shall run from the end of the Recipient's final operating year
under the original Grant Agreement for a period of three (3) years. Eligible costs, as defined by the Act
and Attachment A, incurred between the end of Recipient's final operating year under the original Grant
Agreement and the execution of this Renewal Grant Agreement may be paid with funds from the first

assigned without prior written approval of HUD.
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 1
for carrying out remedial actions; or
(d) direct the Recipient to suspend, discontinue or not incur costs for the affected activity; or
(e) reduce or recapture the grant; or
(f) direct the Recipient to reimburse the program accounts for costs inappropriately charged
to the program; or
(g) continue the grant with a substitute recipient of HUD's choosing; or
(h) other appropriate action including, but not limited to, any remedial action legally available,
such as affirmative litigation seeking declaratory judgment, specific performance, damages,
temporary or permanent injunctions and any other available remedies.
No delay or omission by HUD in exercising any right or remedy available to it under this Grant
Agreement shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver or acquiescence in any Recipient
default.
For each operating year in which funding is received, the Recipient shall file annual
certifications with HUD that the supportive housing has been provided in accordance with the
requirements of the Grant Agreement.
This Grant Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and may be
amended only in writing executed by HUD and the Recipient. More specifically, the Recipient shall not
change recipients, location, services, or population to be served nor shift more than 10 percent of funds
from one approved type of activity to another, or make any other significant change, without the prior
written approval of HUD.
