Minnesota Housing is creating a NSP Program Procedural Manual and forms; these will be <br />available on the Minnesota Housing website once developed and will be discussed fully at the <br />NSP Subrecipient training.. <br />It is important for you to know that since your proposal will be funded with federal dollars, <br />that it carries certain obligations and requirements. So that you do not do anything to make <br />your projects ineligible for these funds, please note that you should not undertake any actions <br />on the project, such as acquiring a property (which must be done in accordance with federal <br />standards) or begin rehabilitation, before you receive further guidance from Minnesota <br />Housing. It is permissible, from a federal program perspective, to enter into an option to <br />purchase a property or to purchase it subject to funding approval, including federally-required <br />environmental. approvals. Other federal requirements that may apply are listed here: <br />• Uniform Relocation and Real Property Acquisition <br />• Lead-based Paint <br />• Debarred and Suspended Contractor <br />• Section 3 Employment Opportunities for Low-income Persons <br />• Minority- and Women-owned Business Enterprise Outreach <br />• Davis-Bacon Labor Standards <br />Enclosed you will find an electronic funds transfer form for the purpose of completing the <br />information we need to successfully transfer payments to your account. Please complete the <br />form and return it to the attention of Ruth Simmons as soon as possible. <br />In addition, be advised that Minnesota Housing will require documentation providing <br />confirmation of the party authorized to sign the grant agreement. <br />Minnesota Housing staff looks forward to working with you throughout the program term.
