Lead grantees must notify Commerce of any changes in selection of subgrantees funded with CHG, or <br />changes in the interventions of those subgrantees. <br />2.2.3.1 Subgrantee Risk Assessment and Monitoring <br />Lead grantees are responsible for ensuring subgrantee compliance with all requirements identified in <br />the CHG guidelines. The lead grantee must conduct a risk assessment and develop a monitoring plan <br />for each subgrantee within six months of contracting CHG to the subgrantee. The risk assessment must <br />inform the monitoring plan for each subgrantee. Monitoring plans must include monitoring dates, the <br />type of monitoring (remote, on -site), and the program requirements being reviewed. <br />The lead grantee must maintain policies and procedures that guide the risk assessment, monitoring <br />activities, and monitoring frequency. <br />Commerce reserves the right to require lead grantees to undertake special reviews when an audit or <br />other emerging issue demands prompt intervention and/or investigation. <br />2.2.3.2 Subgrantee Performance Requirements <br />Housing outcome performance requirements must be included in CHG subgrantee agreements for <br />applicable intervention types. Grantees may customize subgrantee performance requirements by <br />establishing agency specific benchmarks which take into account past performance, facility type, target <br />population and other variables. See Appendix D: Homeless System Performance for more information. <br />2.2.4 Eviction Prevention By and For Organization Subgrant Requirement <br />At least 10 percent of the Eviction Prevention total award must be subgranted to organizations that <br />serve and are substantially governed by marginalized populations (By and For organizations4). Subgrant <br />activities may include the full scope of homelessness prevention program activities. <br />Marginalized communities may include ethnic and racial minorities; immigrants and refugees; <br />individuals who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender; individuals with disabilities or who are <br />deaf; and Native Americans. <br />Lead grantees must make a reasonable effort to subgrant with By and For organizations. If a lead <br />grantee is not able to execute a subagreement, they may ask Commerce for an exemption from this <br />requirement by submitting the Eviction Prevention Sub Contracting Exemption Request Form in the <br />application. An exemption request must include a plan to spend 10 percent of the grant in a manner <br />that will improve racial equity for historically underserved communities. <br />2.2.S By and For Engagement <br />Commerce expects grantees to be anti -racist leaders in their crisis response systems and facilitate <br />partnerships among organizations that respond to the disproportionality in services and outcomes for <br />communities that don't seek assistance from mainstream organizations. At minimum, this includes <br />acknowledging By and For agency subject matter expertise in serving their communities, including <br />4By and For Organizations are operated by and for the community they serve. Their primary mission and history is serving a specific community and they are <br />culturally based, directed, and substantially controlled by individuals from the population they serve. At the core of their programs, the organizations embody the <br />community's central cultural values. These communities may include ethnic and racial minorities; immigrants and refugees; individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, <br />individuals with disabilities or who are deaf; and Native Americans. <br />Page 1 13 <br />
