Everett Forward Grant Program | Subrecipient Agreement | Page 20
<br />Exhibit G: Civil Rights Certification
<br />The funds provided to (hereinafter referred to as the “Subrecpient”) are available under
<br />section 603 of the Social Security Act, as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act.
<br />
<br />The Subrecipient understands and acknowledges that:
<br />
<br />As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance from the Department of the Treasury, with monies distributed
<br />through the City of Everett (the “City”), the Subrecipient provides the assurances stated herein. The federal financial
<br />assistance may include federal grants, loans and contracts to provide assistance to the Subrecipient, the use or rent of
<br />Federal land or property at below market value, Federal training, a loan of Federal personnel, subsidies, and other
<br />arrangements with the intention of providing assistance. Federal financial assistance does not encompass contracts of
<br />guarantee or insurance, regulated programs, licenses, procurement contracts by the Federal government at market
<br />value, or programs that provide direct benefits.
<br />
<br />The Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 provides that the provisions of the assurances apply to all of the operations of
<br />the Subrecipient’s program(s) and activity(ies), so long as any portion of the Subrecipient’s program(s) or activity(ies) is
<br />federally assisted in the manner prescribed above
<br />
<br />The Subrecipient certifies the following:
<br />
<br />1. The Subrecipient ensures its current and future compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended,
<br />which prohibits exclusion from participation, denial of the benefits of, or subjection to discrimination under
<br />programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, of any person in the United States on the ground of
<br />race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury Title VI
<br />regulations at 31 CFR Part 22 and other pertinent executive orders such as Executive Order 13166, directives,
<br />circulars, policies, memoranda, and/or guidance documents.
<br />2. The Subrecipient acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited
<br />English Proficiency,” seeks to improve access to federally assisted programs and activities for individuals who,
<br />because of national origin, have Limited English proficiency (LEP). The Subrecipient understands that denying a
<br />person access to its programs, services, and activities because of LEP is a form of national origin discrimination
<br />prohibited under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Department of the Treasury’s implementing
<br />regulations. Accordingly, the Subrecipient shall initiate reasonable steps, or comply with the Department of the
<br />Treasury’s directives, to ensure that LEP persons have meaningful access to its programs, services, and activities. The
<br />Subrecipient understands and agrees that meaningful access may entail providing language assistance services,
<br />including oral interpretation and written translation where necessary, to ensure effective communication in the
<br />Subrecipient’s programs, services, and activities.
<br />3. The Subrecipient agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons when the Subrecipient develops
<br />applicable budgets and conducts programs, services, and activities. As a resource, the Department of the Treasury
<br />has published its LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information on taking reasonable steps to provide
<br />meaningful access for LEP persons, please visit http://www.lep.gov.
<br />4. The Subrecipient acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the assurances constitutes a condition of continued
<br />receipt of federal financial assistance and is binding upon the Subrecipient and its successors, transferees, and
<br />assignees for the period in which such assistance is provided.
<br />5. The Subrecipient shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits recipients of federal
<br />financial assistance from excluding from a program or activity, denying benefits of, or otherwise discriminating
<br />against a person on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq.), as implemented by the
<br />Department of the Treasury’s Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, which are herein incorporated by reference and
<br />made a part of this contract (or agreement). Title VI also includes protection to persons with “Limited English
<br />Proficiency” in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., as
<br />implemented by the Department of the Treasury’s Title VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by
<br />reference and made a part of this contract or agreement.
