Under the grant agreement, Oakland County will use the funds to provide emergency hotel
accommodations, temporary shelter beds, transportation to shelter and services, and staffing
support.
The grant supports seven (7) Special Revenue positions within the Neighborhood Housing &
Development Division. As the grantee, the County must comply with all federal, state, and local
requirements and submit quarterly financial and program reports.

and determined that there are no legal issues, and acceptance of this award is a business
decision.

Housing Development Authority, a public body corporate and politic of the State of
Michigan, whose address is 735 East Michigan Avenue, Lansing, Michigan 48912 ("the
Authority").
RECITALS
A. Enacted on October 7, 2025, 22 PA 2025 (the “Budget Act”) appropriated
funding to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity for
”Enhancement Grants” intended to be allocated to the Michigan State Housing
Development Authority (“Authority”) to award and administer special grants to intended
grantees.
B. Funds appropriated pursuant to the Budget Act are to be used to support
initiatives and expand opportunities for low- and moderately low-income housing, including
but not limited to improving the Grantee’s ability to provide housing services, building
capacity, initiate and coordinate housing development, and to provide gap funding for
housing projects falling at 120% or less of the local region’s Area Median Income.
C. The Authority is responsible for administering Enhancement Grants,
ensuring that funds are distributed in accordance with the Budget Act.
D. The Grantee has represented to the Authority that it is not debarred, is
authorized to conduct business in the State of Michigan, is a not-for-profit business
organization or local unit of government, that the signatory executing this Agreement is
authorized to bind the Grantee to the terms of this Agreement and fully intends to distribute
funds in accordance with the Budget Act for housing-related purposes as described in Exhibit
A attached and incorporated in this Agreement.
E. This Enhancement Grant, LEG-2026-385-ENH, in an amount not to exceed
Five Hundred Thousand ($500,00) (the "Grant") is for housing-related activities more
specifically described in Exhibits A. B, and C (collectively the “Program”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and as a condition to receiving the Grant, the
Grantee agrees that:
1. The terms and conditions set forth herein are a reasonable and appropriate
means to assure the use of funds in accordance with the Budget Act, the Rules, and the
Authority’s Authorizing Resolutions.
2. All aspects of the Grantee's plan for the use of the Grant are specifically
described in the terms attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Program”), which Program is
incorporated herein, and the Grantee will operate the Program as described in Exhibit A.
3. All housing units constructed or rehabilitated under the Grant shall serve
persons whose incomes do not exceed 120 percent of the area median income, adjusted
for family size for the area in which each unit will be located.
4. All actions of the Grantee and requirements of the Grantee's Program are
subject to the terms of this Agreement, the provisions of the Budget Act and the Rules of
the Authority.
5. The activities of the Grantee will be subject to the review of and, in the
discretion of the Authority, audit by Authority staff to ensure compliance with this
Agreement, the Budget Act and the Authority's Rules, and the Grantee will provide any
books, records or documents in such form and at such place as the Authority may request.
6. The Grantee acknowledges and agrees to comply with federal, state, and
local laws and regulations as may be applicable to the Project.
7. The Grantee agrees to draw down Grant proceeds only when and, in such
amounts, as may be necessary to pay for the activities as Authorized in the Budget Act or
otherwise described in Exhibit A. Grant funds may not be used to pay for expenses that
will be or have been reimbursed or matched by other sources of funds. Grant funds may
only be applied to expenditures that occur on or after the effective date of October 7,
2025, through March 31, 2028. October 7, 2025, and March 31, 2028, refer to the Grant
Term. Grant funds may not be used to reimburse costs accrued before October 7, 2025,

8. All requests for the disbursement of Grant proceeds shall be submitted to
the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Authority or their designee, shall
be made in writing, and shall include the amount of Grant proceeds to be disbursed, a
description of the purposes for which the proceeds are to be used, copies of invoices,
billings, or such other documentation as may be necessary to demonstrate project costs,
and such other information as the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director or their
designee may request.
9. Grant funds shall be disbursed on a reimbursement basis after the Grantee
has provided sufficient documentation, as determined by the Authority, to verify that
expenditures are made in accordance with the project purpose.
10. If a portion of the Grant for a specific purpose is not used for that purpose
due to conditions that make it impossible to use as provided herein, or if the Grantee
decides not to use the money, or any portion of the Grant funds are declined, unspent, or
otherwise misused, the sum shall be returned to the Authority immediately. Failure to
return such funds in a timely manner may result in recoupment of funds by the Michigan
Department of Treasury.
11. If the Authority reasonably determines that allocated funds were misused
or that use of funds were misrepresented by the Grantee, the Authority shall not award
any additional funds under the executed grant agreement and shall refer the grant for
review following internal audit protocols, which may include referral for criminal
investigation.
12. Grant proceeds are to be used for housing-related activities only.
Accordingly, the Grantee shall, prior to disbursement of funds, prepare and submit to the
Authority a detailed budget of work to be completed. In the event that Grantee earns
interest on any deposited grant funds, any interest earned must be reported to the
Authority, and total interest in excess of $1,000.00 delivered to the Michigan Department
of Treasury.

endorsements, publicity, or to conduct similar activities intended to influence Federal,
State or local elections, referenda, initiatives, or similar processes. The Grantee may not
use Grant funds to give direct or indirect financial or administrative support to political
parties, campaigns, political action committees, or other organizations created to influence
elections. The Grantee may not use Grant funds to influence or attempt to influence an
officer or employee of any federal or state agency or Congressional member/staff in
connection with actions related to the making, extending, or renewing of a grant or
awarding of a contract. As part of the grant application process, the Grantee and all
subrecipients are required to provide a certification acknowledging that Grant funds may
not be used to support the above-described lobbying activity. Grantee must also include
this certification language in the award documents for subawards at all levels including
subcontracts, subgrants, and contracts under grants, loans, and cooperative agreements.
14. Any of Grantee's activities that are assisted using grant proceeds and the
selection of persons for participation in the Program shall not discriminate against any
person on the grounds of race, color, national origin, religion, height, weight, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity or expression, age (except for a Development specifically
designed for elderly occupants), national origin, handicap, or marital or familial status
except as provided by law. The Grantee shall comply with all requirements imposed by
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (as amended by the Fair Housing Amendments
Act of 1988), the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, and
the Michigan Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act. Grant funds must not be used to

programs, or facilities
15. The Grantee will maintain or implement appropriate measures designed to
(a) ensure the security and confidentiality of any Nonpublic Personal Information it

this Agreement, (c) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that
could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the subject of such information, (d)
ensure the proper disposal of all Nonpublic Personal Information received from the other
party upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, unless the information is
required to be retained for legal or regulatory record retention purposes, (e) treat the
Nonpublic Personal Information with at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect
its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature but with no less than a
reasonable degree of care. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Nonpublic
Personal Information” is any information received from or provided by the other party
which pertains to or identifies an individual, such as a name, postal address, e-mail or IP
address, facsimile or phone number, mother’s maiden name, social security or
identification number, transactional, employment, or financial data, medical or health
records, personal, gender, political, profile, account, and password information.

Grantee shall provide to the Authority a report including, but not limited to, all receipts,
expenditures, project activities and accomplishments including a comparison of the final
budget to the approved budget and supporting documentation for claimed expenditures.
17. The Grantee assumes responsibility for any and all costs to implement the
Grantee's Program exceeding the amount of the Grant. To the extent that Grant funds
are expended to purchase goods or services, the Grantee must ensure that all
procurement transactions must be conducted in a manner that provides for open and free
competition in a manner consistent with local and state law. The Grantee may not use
grant funds for the purchase of foreign goods nor services if American goods or services
of competitive price and comparable quality are available. The Grantee must give a
preference for the purchase of goods or services, or both, to those manufactured or
provided by Michigan businesses, if competitively priced and of comparable quality.
Further preference must be given to Michigan businesses owned and operated by
veterans, if competitively priced and of comparable quality.
18. The Authority, the State of Michigan, their officers, agents, and employees
are not, in any manner, liable for any loss or damage connected to or resulting from
activities implemented under this Agreement; nor to any materials, equipment, or other
property that may be used or employed in connection herewith, or for any injury or
damages to any person whether an employee of the Grantee or otherwise
19. All documents and reports delivered to the Grantee under this Agreement
shall become and be the property of the Grantee but may be reviewed by the Authority as
set forth herein. The Grantee must retain all financial records, supporting documents,
statistical records, and all other pertinent records for a period of seven (7) years after final
disbursement, as required by the State of Michigan, or for a longer period of time if
required by law. The Grantee agrees to provide or make these records available for audit
proposes to the Authority and to any authorized oversight body, including but not limited
to the Auditor General of the State of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Treasury.
.
20. If any member of the Grantee’s Board of Directors, leadership, or staff, or
the Grantee’s agent, consultant, officer, or elected or appointed official has a conflict of
interest or an identity of interest in the form of a financial interest or in the form of a
common immediate family relationship with (a) any of the staff persons hired, (b) any of
the persons or households to be assisted directly or indirectly with the funds, or (c) the
persons and/or businesses retained to perform technical services hereunder or with
persons or businesses providing supplies or services for which funds are being disbursed
under this Agreement, the Grantee must make written disclosure to the Authority of the
nature and extent of the relationship prior to contracting with such persons and/or
businesses or hiring them. The Grantee further agrees not to enter into any contractual
relationship with any of the persons or entities listed above unless it has received written
approval from the Authority. The State Budget Director may block release of LEG funds
upon various determinations, including sponsoring legislator conflicts of interest or if the
grant will be used to pay any delinquent tax.
21. If there is a determination that the information provided by the Grantee
does not meet the disclosure requirements, that the grant will be used to pay tax lien,
delinquent tax, or other obligation owed to the state, or that the grant will create a conflict
of interest, the Authority shall not release grant funds to the Grantee. Funds that are not
disbursed under this subdivision lapses at the end of the fiscal year.
22. In the event of a violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the
Authority will notify the Grantee in writing of the violation and the Grantee will have a 30-
day period in which to correct the violation. In the event the violation is not corrected to
the satisfaction of the Authority within the time prescribed herein, the Authority may:
a. immediately terminate the Grant, without further notice, in a writing
signed by the Authority's Chief Executive Officer and Executive
Director; and
b. recapture grant funding; and
c. pursue any other remedy provided at law.
23. The Grantee hereby agrees that an election by the Authority to pursue any
one remedy shall not be construed to preclude or be a waiver of the right to pursue any
other remedy available to it.
24. The term of this Agreement shall commence on October 7, 2025, and shall
terminate, unless extended by the Authority, on March 31, 2028.
25. The invalidity of any clause, part, or provision of this Agreement shall not
affect the validity of the remaining portion hereof.
26. This Agreement may be signed in several counterparts and all so executed
shall constitute one agreement, binding on all parties hereto.
