SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE AND

SCOPE OF WORK
Project Narrative
The City of Wheat Ridge will allocate $2,000,000 in Community Project Funding (CPF) to
Foothills Regional Housing for the acquisition of Fruitdale School Lofts, a 16-unit
apartment building, to preserve and maintain Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing
(NOAH). The acquisition of the property will secure the affordability of the 16 units,
including five affordable HOME units and 11 NOAH units, for households earning under
80% of the Area Median Income. The entire scope of the project involves acquisition only
and Foothills will continue to operate the property as a multifamily residential building
without any internal or external modifications to the building or property. The city will
conduct an environmental review of the project and will monitor Foothills compliance with
federal reporting requirements, including data collection on demographics, project
progress, and financial reports, for the duration of the grant term.
Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) units are a primary source of affordable
housing in Wheat Ridge, as most of these units are affordable to households without any
financial subsidies. Most NOAH units are considered older housing stock that needs
physical improvements to maintain minimum habitable standards. As such, these
properties are at risk of turning over to market value rents based on the significant cost to
make necessary repairs and improvements, leading to potential loss of property and the
involuntary displacement, dislocation, or eviction of low -to -moderate income households.
Recognizing the cost-effectiveness of preservation over new construction, the city
established the NOAH Preservation Program to acquire and maintain the affordability of
these units within the Wheat Ridge community. The city has selected Foothills Regional
Housing (Foothills) as a subrecipient for the CPF grant. Foothills plans to acquire
Fruitdale School Lofts, a 16-unit apartment building located at 10803 W 44th Avenue
Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Fruitdale School Lofts contains five affordable HOME units and
11 NOAH units. The acquisition of the property will maintain the affordability of the 16
units and convert the entire property to affordable housing to prevent the displacement of
existing households. The city will provide $2,000,000 of CPF funds to Foothills that will
be used for soft costs for acquisition only. The funds will be used to purchase the
property and there will be no site work, construction, or rehabilitation that will occur.
Foothills will continue to operate the 16-unit residential building with no external or
internal changes to the building or property.

Project Metrics Goal: Preserve and maintain Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing
(NOAH) in Wheat Ridge.
Objective: Preserve a minimum of 16 dwelling units that are affordable to households
earning under 80% AMI for a period of 10-15 years.
Outcome: Acquired NOAH units within Wheat Ridge boundaries. City staff will collect
applicable data on objectives and outcomes, recording indicators in the Disaster
Recovery Grants Record (DRGR) system including:
• Subrecipient information, including SAM registration and UEI numbers
• Funds leveraged
• Project demographics, including the number of people and households assisted
by income, race, ethnicity and disability

Uniform Relocation Act, and Lead -based paint)
Section 3 Performance Measures: The project does not involve new construction or
rehabilitation. Therefore approval from HUD on the grant package and environmental
review to go under contract with Foothills.
Project Timeline and Status The city has selected Foothills Regional Housing as the
subrecipient of the project. No work has been performed on the project yet. However,
Foothills has begun the due diligence process. A Categorically Excluded Subject To
(CEST) Environmental Review has been started for the project. During this process, staff
identified that the project will need to undertake consultation for the following related laws
and authorities:
• Section 106 Consultation: the property is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. Staff have determined that the project scope will have No Adverse Effect on
the historic property. A consultation letter has been sent to the Colorado State
Historic Preservation Office for a concurrence.
• Site Contamination: A Phase 1 Environmental Assessment was completed in 2015
but needs to be conducted again for this project. The Phase 1 Environmental
Assessment report will be completed by Foothills as part of the due diligence
process.

Overview of Requirements
CPF grants are subject to several Federal requirements. HUD will provide additional
information and further clarification regarding applicable requirements and the grant award process
in upcoming webinars and additional technical assistance. The most essential requirements include:
1) Administrative Requirements: CPF grants are subject to the Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR Part
200).
2) HUD Environmental Review Requirements: EDl/CPF grants, like all projects funded by
HUD, are subject to requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA),
HUD's NEPA-implementing regulations at 24 CFR Part 50 or 24 CFR Part 58, and
appropriate federal environmental and historic preservation laws, regulations, and Executive
Orders.
• To be eligible, activities and expenses must comply with applicable Federal
requirements. This includes administrative requirements under 2 CFR Part 200,
environmental laws, statutes and Executive Orders, and other "cross -cutting" federal
requirements adhered to by HUD.
• If the environmental review is being conducted by a local goverment responsible entity
under Part 58, a Request for Release of Funds and Certification must be approved by
HUD, as applicable. If the environmental review is being completed by HUD under part
50, the environmental review must be approved and certified by HUD.

a HUD defines the "Federal Nexus" for a program or project as the event that triggers the
requirements for federal environmental review under a host of laws, regulations, and
Executive Orders, including the prohibition on choice limiting actions.
a For FY2024 grants, the date of the Act's enactment (March 9, 2024) is the federal nexus for
compliance with all environmental laws. Once a project is federalized, in keeping with the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and HUD's NEPA-implementing regulations at
24 CFR Part 50 or 24 CFR Part 58, environmental reviews must be completed, and all
necessary HUD approvals must be obtained prior to taking any choice limiting actions, such
as acquisition, construction, ground disturbance, and entering into contracts.
e Further explanation and guidance on choice limiting actions and the environmental review
process, including historic preservation review, is included within the CPF Grant Guide and
on the program's webpage at:' V o
a Some projects may already be underway at the time of federal nexus and while it is still best
practice to stop all work after the federal nexus before the environmental review is
complete for EDUCPF projects that are already underway at time of federal nexus, grantees
are allowed to perform activities after the federal nexus, but only for activities which are
part of a pre -nexus contract that obligates them to do so. However, grantees would be doing
so at their own risk, as any activity performed, or proposed to be performed, after the
federal nexus must be included in the project scope of a satisfactory environmental review
to be reimbursable.
a A satisfactory review must show that the project activities will not result in unmitigable
environmental harm and must not preclude consultation with the appropriate environmental
authorities such as the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Environmental
authorities may refuse to consult if physical impacts are made to a site before consultation.
e HUD conducted a nationwide environmental review for FY24 EDUCPF soft costs to clear
activities such as administrative, planning, and operations and maintenance costs (including
costs to prepare an environmental review). After execution of the Grant Agreement, eligible
soft costs can be incurred after March 9, 2024 (see 2 CFR 200.403). Eligible hard costs can
be reimbursed if incurred after a full environmental review is completed (see 2 CFR
200.403).
a HUD Environmental Officers:
If you, or your staff, have any questions regarding how to complete or submit the
requires documents, please feel free to contact your Grant Officer or System Officer. Please
note while your Grant Officer may change over time, we have a team approach to managing
your project. Please include your grant number and project in all email correspondence. We
look forward to working with you on this important project!
Sincerely,

ent—as well as a personal services contractor —who makes a protected disclosure about a Fed-
eral grant or contract cannot be discharged, demoted, or otherwise discriminated against as long
as they reasonably believe the information they disclose is evidence of:
1. Gross mismanagement of a Federal contract or grant;
2. Waste of Federal funds;
3. Abuse of authority relating to a Federal contract or grant;
4. Substantial and specific danger to public health and safety; or
5. Violations of law, rule, or regulation related to a Federal contract or grant.

GRANT AGREEMENT NO. B-24-CP-CO-0447
(c) Reporting Procedures.
Enter the required information in SAM.gov for each proceeding described in paragraph (b) of
this award term. You do not need to submit the information a second time under grants and coop-
erative agreements that you received if you already provided the information in SAM.gov
because you were required to do so under Federal procurement contracts that you were awarded.
(d) Reporting Frequency.
During any period of time when you are subject to the requirement in paragraph (a) of this award
term, you must report proceedings information in SAM.gov for the most recent five-year period,
either to report new information about a proceeding that you have not reported previously or af-
firm that there is no new information to report. If you have Federal contract, grant; and coopera-
tive agreement awards with a cumulative total value greater than $10,000,000, you must disclose
semiannually any information about the criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings-

only in connection with the performance of a Federal contract or grant. It does not include audits,
site visits, corrective plans, or inspection of deliverables.
Conviction means a judgment or conviction of a criminal offense by any court of competent ju-
risdiction, whether entered upon a verdict or a plea, and includes a conviction entered upon a

graphs 2-5 below.
2. General prohibition. No person who is an employee, agent, consultant, officer, or elected or
appointed official of the Grantee or subrecipient and who exercises or has exercised any func-
tions or responsibilities with respect to assisted activities, or who is in a position to participate in
a decision making process or gain inside information with regard to such activities, may obtain a
financial interest or benefit from the activity, or have a financial interest in any contract, subcon-
tract, or agreement with respect thereto, or the proceeds thereunder, either for himself or herself
or for those with whom he or she has immediate family or business ties, during his or her tenure
or for one year thereafter. Immediate family ties include (whether by blood, marriage, or adop-
tion) the spouse, parent (including a stepparent), child (including a stepchild), sibling (including
a stepsibling), grandparent, grandchild, and in-laws of a covered person.
3. Exceptions. HUD may grant an exception to the general prohibition in paragraph (ii) upon the
Grantee's written request and satisfaction of the threshold requirements in paragraph (iv), if
HUD determines the exception will further the Federal purpose of the award and the effective
and efficient administration of the Grantee's Project, considering the cumulative effects of the
factors in paragraph (v).
4. Threshold requirements for exceptions. HUD will consider an exception only after the Grantee
has provided the following documentation:
a. A disclosure of the nature of the conflict, accompanied by an assurance that there has
been public disclosure of the conflict and a description of how that disclosure was made;
and
b. An opinion of the Grantee's attorney that the interest for which the exception is sought
would not violate state or local law.
5. Factors to be considered for exceptions. In determining whether to grant a requested exception
after the Grantee has satisfactorily met the threshold requirements in paragraph (iii), HUD will
consider the cumulative effect of the following factors, where applicable:
a. Whether the exception would provide a significant cost benefit or an essential degree
of expertise to the program or project that would otherwise not be available;
b. Whether an opportunity was provided for open competitive bidding or negotiation;
c. Whether the person affected is a member of a group or class of low- or moderate -in-
come persons intended to be the beneficiaries of the assisted activity, and the exception

will permit such person to receive generally the same interests or benefits as are being
made available or provided to the group or class;
d. Whether the affected person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibili-
ties, or the decision -making process regarding the assisted activity in question;
e. Whether the interest or benefit was present before the affected person was in a position
as described in paragraph (ii);
f. Whether undue hardship will result either to the Grantee or the person affected when
weighed against the public interest served by avoiding the prohibited conflict; and
g. Any other relevant considerations.
6. Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest. The Grantee must disclose in writing to HUD any
potential conflict of interest.

The City of Wheat Ridge will allocate $2,000,000 in Community Project Funding (CPF) to
Foothills Regional Housing for the acquisition of Fruitdale School Lofts, a 16-unit
apartment building, to preserve and maintain Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing
(NOAH). The acquisition of the property will secure the affordability of the 16 units,
including five affordable HOME units and 11 NOAH units, for households earning under
80%® of the Area Median Income. The entire scope of the project involves acquisition only
and Foothills will continue to operate the property as a multifamily residential building
without any internal or external modifications to the building or property. The city will
conduct an environmental review of the project and will monitor Foothins'
compliance with federal reporting requirements, including data collection on
demographics, project Progress, and financial reports, for the duration of the grant term.
Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) units are a primary source of affordable
housing in Wheat Ridge, as most of these units are affordable to households without any
financial subsidies. Most NOAH units are considered older housing stock that needs
physical improvements to maintain minimum habitable standards. As such, these properties
are at risk of turning over to market value rents based on the significant cost to make
necessary repairs and improvements, leading to potential loss of property and the
involuntary displacement, dislocation, or eviction of low -to -moderate income households.
Recognizing the cost-effectiveness of preservation over new construction, the city
established the NOAH Preservation Program to acquire and maintain the affordability of
these units within the Wheat Ridge community. The city has selected Foothills Regional
Housing (Foothills) as a subrecipient for the CPF grant. Foothills plans to acquire Fruitdale
School Lofts, a 16-unit apartment building located at 10803 W 44th Avenue Wheat Ridge,
Colorado. Fruitdale School Lofts contains five affordable HOME units and 11 NOAH
units. The acquisition of the property will maintain the affordability of the 16 units and
convert the entire property to affordable housing to prevent the displacement of existing
households. The city will provide $2,000,000 of CPF funds to Foothills that will be used
for soft costs for acquisition only. The funds will be used to purchase the property and
there will be no site work, construction, or rehabilitation that will occur. Foothills will
continue to operate the 16-unit residential building with no external or internal changes to
the building or property. Project Metrics Goal: Preserve and maintain Naturally Occurring
Affordable Housing (NOAH) in Wheat Ridge. Objective: Preserve a minimum of 1G
dwelling units that are affordable to households earning under 60%® AMI for a period of 10-
15 years. Outcome: Acquired NOAH units within Wheat Ridge boundaries. City staff will
collect applicable data on objectives and outcomes, recording indicators in the Disaster
Recovery Grants Record (DRGR) system including: - Subrecipient information, including
SAM registration and UEI numbers - Funds leveraged - Project demographics, including
the number of people and households assisted by income, race, ethnicity and disability -
Project progress - Compliance with the Fair Housing Act (FFHA) - Environmental review -
Citizen participation - Financial reports - Draw down requests - Monitoring - Payroll
records and reports - Documentation of compliance with all Federal requirements (e.g.,
Davis -Bacon, Uniform Relocation Act, and Lead -based paint) Section 3 Performance
Measures: The project does not involve new construction or rehabilitation. Therefore
24
Docusign Envelope ID: 7A2DAB8C-58CF-459A-8058-112B471C8CD3
Section 3 does not apply to the project. Project Timeline and Status The city has selected
Foothills Regional Housing as, the subrecipient of the project. No work has been performed
on the project yet. However, Foothills has begun the due diligence process. A Categorically
Excluded Subject To (LEST) Environmental Review has been started for the project.
During this process, staff identified that the project will need to undertake consultation for
the following related laws and authorities: ® Section 106 Consultation: the property is
listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Staff have determined that the project
scope will have No Adverse Effect on the historic property. A consultation letter has been
sent to the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office for a concurrence. ® Site
Contamination: A Phase 1 Environmental Assessment was completed in 2015 but needs to
be conducted again for this project. The Phase I Environmental Assessment report will be
completed by Foothills as part of the due diligence process. The City is waiting for
approval from HUD on the grant package and environmental review to go under contract
with Foothills. Upon approval from HUD, the City will go under contract with Foothills
and provide the CPF grant funds to help acquire the property located at 10803 W 44th
Avenue Wheat Ridge, Colorado. City staff will monitor Foothills based on the applicability
with federal reporting. All applicable federal reporting language will be included in all
subawards, contracts, and purchase orders to complete the work under the CPF award. The
City anticipates that all CPF funds will be expended by June 2025 and the project will be
completed by the end of 2025.
