9 NC ESG CV Scope of Work In addition, the VAWA Final Rule requires that each housing provider produce a detailed emergency transfer plan, which ensures that a tenant receiving rental assistance through or residing in a unit subsidized under an ESG housing program who is a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking qualifies for an emergency transfer within the criteria stated in 24 CFR 5.2005 (e)(2). All NC ESG housing providers must maintain records on emergency transfers requested under 24 CFR 5.2005(e). Data must include the outcomes of each request and must be provided to the NC ESG Office upon request. Investigation of Noncompliant Activities The Grantor (State of North Carolina, NC DHHS, NC DAAS, NC ESG Office or other designee) may investigate any matter covered under this Contract and may withhold any payments until the results of the investigation have been revealed. Reimbursement to the Subrecipient will be determined upon resolution of the investigation by the Grantor. 24 CFR 576.501 Remedial actions, sanctions, and / or termination for a failure to meet an ESG program requirement will be designed to prevent a continuation of the deficiency; mitigate, to the extent possible, its adverse effects or consequences; and prevent its recurrence. HUD, DHHS, DAAS, and the NC ESG Office may instruct the recipient / subrecipient to submit and comply with proposals for action to correct, mitigate, and prevent noncompliance with ESG requirements Written Standards The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires subrecipients to adhere to the Written Standards, developed and approved by the CoC, for programs provided through the Emergency Solutions Grant Program. Standards for emergency shelter programs will be different than Standards for rapid re-housing and homeless prevention. Subrecipients must ensure that the Standards are appropriate for the programs offered. For detail of Written Standards see 24 CFR 576.500 (b) and NC ESG 2020 Desk Guide. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS State reserves the right to impose any additional requirements upon Subrecipient, which the State shall deem reasonable or necessary for the purpose of verifying the legality and propriety of any payment requested by the Subrecipient. Should the Subrecipient need to change the physical location of the shelter associated with this contract the new facility m ust be approved by the state NC ESG staff before NC ESG or NC ESG matching funds can be accessed. The use of other ESG funding sources (i.e. City ESG Entitlement Funds, County ESG Entitlement Funds) cannot be combined with State NC ESG funds. NC ESG subrecipients should work together to design projects that use funds from one ESG funding source (State, City, County, etc.) to support 100 percent of the costs for each household.
