Requesting authorization for Hidalgo County Judge to execute the Grant Closeout Certifications and Federal Financial Reports (SF-425) for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME).

In accordance with 24 CFR 92.507 and 2 CFR Part 200, US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) must close-out all Federal awards when it has determined that all applicable administrative actions and all required work of the Federal award has been completed by a participant jurisdiction. 
As per the HOME Investment Partnerships Agreement(s) and the HOME regulations at 24 CFR Part 92, each HOME participating jurisdiction is required to complete the following actions prior to closeout: 

• Complete all HOME projects in a manner consistent with the Funding Approval and HOME Investment Partnerships Agreement(s), HOME Investment Partnership Act (42 USC 12701 et. seq.), the regulations at 24 CFR Part 92 and 2 CFR Part 200, and the participant jurisdiction’s approved Consolidated Plans and Annual Action Plans, all as reflected in data entered in the Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS).
• Ensure all HOME units are occupied, and accurate beneficiary data has been entered in IDIS.
• Resolve and close-out all A-133 Single audits, HUD monitoring, and OIG audit findings.

Based on the above criteria, HUD has determined that the HOME grants starting from FY 2011 through FY 2019 has met all obligations and may be closed out.
