provide economic opportunities to low- and very low-income residents within the
service area or the neighborhood in which the project is located, and to low- and
very low-income participants in other HUD programs.

reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful, to the fullest extent
permitted under the California Nonprofit Corporation Law. The termination of any proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent
shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and ina manner

person had reasonable cause to believe that the person's conduct was unlawful.

assets held in charitable trust, to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such

parties to such proceeding; or
(b) The court in which such proceeding is or was pending upon

Article 7.
Section 7.7 Other Indemnification. No provision made by the Corporation to indemnify
its or its subsidiary's directors or officers for the defense of any proceeding, whether contained
in the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, a resolution of the directors, an agreement or otherwise,

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY
1. Provision of Program Services
a. Subrecipient shall not, on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin,
sex, sexual preference, or handicap, exclude any person from participation in,
deny any person the benefits of, or subject any person to discrimination under
any program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds.
b. Subrecipient shall not under any program or activity funded in whole or in part
with CDBG funds, on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin, sex,
sexual preference, or handicap:
1) Deny any facilities, services, financial aid or other benefits
provided under the program or activity; or
2) Provide any facilities, services, financial aid, or other benefits
which are different or are provided in a different form from that
provided to others under the program or activity; or
3) Subject to segregated or separate treatment in any facility in, or
in any matter of process related to receipt of any service or
benefit under the program or activity; or
4) Restrict in any way access to, or in the enjoyment of any
advantage or privilege enjoyed by others in connection with
facilities, services, financial aid, or other benefits under the
program or activity; or
5) Treat an individual differently from others in determining whether
the individual satisfies any admission, enrollment, eligibility,
membership, or other requirement or condition which the
individual must meet in order to be provided any facilities,
services, or other benefits provided under the program or
activity; or
6) Deny any opportunity to participate in a program or activity as an
employee.
c. Subrecipient may not utilize criteria or methods of administration which have
the effect of subjecting individuals to discrimination on the basis of race,
religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual preference, or handicap, or have the
effect of defeating or substantially impairing accomplishment of the objectives of
the program or activity with respect to individuals of a particular race, religion,
color, national origin, sex, sexual preference or handicap.
d. Subrecipient, in determining the site or location of housing or facilities provided
in whole or in part with CDBG funds, may not make selections of such site or
location which have the effect of excluding individuals from, denying them the
benefits of, or subjecting them to discrimination on the grounds of race, color,
national origin, or sex, or which have the purpose or effect of defeating or
substantially impairing the accomplishment of the objectives of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 and amendments thereto:
e. In administering a program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG
funds regarding which the Subrecipient has previously discriminated against
persons on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual
preference or handicap, the Subrecipient must take affirmative action to
overcome the effects of prior discrimination.
f. Even in the absence of such prior discrimination, a Subrecipient in administering
a program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG funds should take
affirmative action to overcome the effects of conditions which would otherwise
result in limiting participation by persons of a particular race, color, national
origin, or sex. Where previous discriminatory practice or usage tends, on the
grounds of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual preference, or
handicap, to exclude individuals from participation in, to deny them the benefits
of, or to subject them to discrimination under any program or activity to which
CDBG funding applies, the Subrecipient has an obligation to take reasonable
action to remove or overcome the consequences of the prior discriminatory
practice or usage, and to accomplish the purpose of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
g•

to ameliorate an imbalance in services or facilities provided to any geographic
area or specific group of persons within its jurisdiction where the purpose of
such action is to overcome prior discriminatory practice or usage.
h. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections J. 1. (a. through h.),
nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit any Subrecipient from
maintaining or constructing separate living facilities or rest -room facilities for the
different sexes. Furthermore, selectivity on the basis of sex is not prohibited
when institutional or custodial services can properly be performed only by a
member of the same sex as the recipients of the services.
2. Employment Discrimination
a. Subrecipient shall not discriminate against any employee or application for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or
handicap. Subrecipient shall take affirmative action to insure that applicants are
employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard
to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or handicap. Such action
shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading,
demotion, or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising, layoff or

24, 1965, and shall post copies of the notices in conspicuous places available to
employees and applicants for employment.
d. Subrecipient shall comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the
Secretary of Labor..
e. Subrecipient shall furnish to the CDC all information and reports required by
Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24, 1965, and by the related rules,
regulations, and orders.
f. In the event of Subrecipient'S failure to comply with any rules, regulations, or
orders required to be complied with pursuant to this Agreement, the CDC may
cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part its performance and
Subrecipient may be declared ineligible for further government contracts in
accordance with procedures authorized in Executive Order No. 11246 of
September 24, 1965, and such other sanctions as may be imposed and
remedies invoked as provided in Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24,
1965, or by rule, regulation, or order of the Secretary of Labor, or as otherwise
provided by law.
g•
Subrecipient shall include the provisions of Section II. 3. 2. (a. through f.),
"Affirmative Action Policy," paragraphs (1) through (6) in every subcontract or
purchase order unless exempted by rules, regulations, or order of the Secretary
of Labor issued pursuant to Section 204 of Executive Order No. 11246 of
September 24, 1965, so that such provisions will be binding upon each
subcontractor or vendor. Subrecipient shall take such action with respect to any
subcontract or purchase order as the CDC may direct as a means of enforcing
such provisions including sanctions for non-compliance; provided, however, that

with a subcontractor or vendor as a result of such direction by the CDC,
Subrecipient may request the United States to enter into such litigation to
protect the interests of the United States.
h. Subrecipient shall not discriminate on the basis of age in violation of any
provision of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6101 et seq.) or with
respect to any otherwise qualified handicapped individual as provided in Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794). Subrecipient shall also
provide ready access to and use of all CDBG fund -assisted buildings to
physically handicapped persons in compliance with the standards established in

regulations, or orders required to be complied with pursuant to this Agreement, the
CDC may cancel, terminate, or suspend in whole or in part its performance and
