following the Consolidated Plan, and for ensuring that actions necessary for such accomplishments are taken by cooperating units of general local government. H. The parties agree to take all actions necessary to assure compliance with the urban county's certification required by section 104(b) of Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, section 109 of Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, and other applicable laws. The agreement also prohibits urban county funding for activities in, or in support of, any cooperating unit of general local government that does not affirmatively further fair housing within its own jurisdiction or that impedes the county's action to comply with the county's fair housing certification. This provision is required because noncompliance by a unit of general local government included in an urban county may constitute noncompliance by the grantee (i.e., the entire urban county) that can, in turn, provide cause for funding sanctions or other remedial actions by the department. I. The parties further agree that pursuant to 24 CFR 570.501 (b), the Cooperating Community is subject to the same requirements applicable to subrecipients, including a written agreement as set forth in 24 CFR 570.503. Such agreements are only entered into when a Cooperating Community chooses to propose a project and actually will receive funds from the County's entitlement allocation. J. The parties further agree that the cooperating Community has adopted and is enforcing: 1. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its jurisdiction against any individual engaged in non-violent civil rights demonstrations; and 2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such non- violent civil rights demonstrations within jurisdictions. K. The Cooperating Community acknowledges that by executing this Agreement it may not apply for grants from appropriations under the Small Cities or State Community Development Block Grant Programs for fiscal years during the period in which it participates in the County's CDBG Program. The Cooperating Community further acknowledges that during the period in which it participates in the County's CDBG Program it may only participate in the HOME Program (24 USC 12701 et seq. and regulations promulgated thereto) through the-County and is precluded from forming a HOME Consortium for participation in the HOME Program, except through the County. 5 ~
