Failure to fulfill these requirements shall subject the City, the <br />Subrecipient and any of the Subrecipient’s subcontractors, their successors and <br />assigns, to those sanctions specified by the Agreement through which Federal <br />assistance is provided.

Section 3 <br />requires that to the greatest extent feasible opportunities for training and <br />employment be given to low- and very low-income residents of the <br />project area, and that contracts for work in connection with the project be <br />awarded to business concerns that provide economic opportunities for <br />low- and very low-income persons residing in the metropolitan area in <br />which the project is located.” <br /> <br />The Subrecipient further agrees to ensure that opportunities for training and <br />employment arising in connection with a housing rehabilitation (including reduction <br />and abatement of lead-based paint hazards), housing construction, or other public <br />construction project are given to low- and very low-income persons residing within <br />the metropolitan area in which the CDBG-funded project is located; where feasible, <br />priority should be given to low- and very low-income persons within the service area <br />of the project or the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to low- and <br />very low-income participants in other HUD programs; and award contracts for work <br />undertaken in connection with a housing rehabilitation (including reduction and <br />abatement of lead-based paint hazards), housing construction, or other public <br />construction project to business concerns that provide economic opportunities for <br />low- and very low-income persons residing within the metropolitan area in which the <br />CDBG-funded project is located; where feasible, priority should be given to business <br />concerns that provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income residents <br />within the service area or the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to <br />low- and very low-income participants in other HUD programs. <br /> <br />The Subrecipient certifies and agrees that no contractual or other legal incapacity <br />exists that would prevent compliance with these requirements. <br />
