The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that all for-profit Subgrantees and Contractors on Choice Neighborhoods projects sign this “Certifications and Assurances” form certifying that they will comply with the specific federal requirements described below. The parties who must sign a “Certifications and Assurances” form are defined below:

Subgrantees: These are for-profit organizations to which the Housing Authority (Housing Authority or Grantee) has awarded a grant from the Choice Neighborhoods grant that the Housing Authority received from HUD. The subgrantee is accountable to the Housing Authority for the use of the funds provided, but the Housing Authority is ultimately accountable to HUD.
Contractors: This includes any for-profit contractor, consultant, service provider, or supplier that the Housing Authority contracts with for goods or services on any Choice Neighborhoods project.

Certification and Assurance: The subgrantee or contractor executing this certification hereby assures and certifies that it will comply with all of the applicable requirements of the following, as the same may be amended from time to time, including adding appropriate provisions to all contracts between Grantee and for-profit Subgrantees or Contractors:

Administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as may be appropriate. (Contracts more than the simplified acquisition threshold)
Termination for cause and for convenience by the grantee or subgrantee including the manner by which it will be effected and the basis for settlement. (All contracts in excess of $10,000)

Retention of all required records for three years after grantees or subgrantees make final payments and all other pending matters are closed.

The information contained in this certification is true and accurate, to the best of my knowledge.

WARNING: Section 1001 of the Title 18 of the United States Code (Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure, 72 Stat.967) applies to this certification. 18 U.S.C. 1001, among other things, provides that whoever knowingly and willfully makes or uses a document or writing knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry, in any matter within jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States, shall be fined no more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.
