(Form Attached) Under federal regulations, the use of UDAG funds for microenterprise activities must meet the national objective of benefit to low/moderate (“low/mod”) income persons under the Limited Clientele definition at the time of household income certification and for up to 6 months following certification.
As such, all microenterprise owner households must be documented as employees of the business and meet Housing and Urban Development (HUD)’s low/mod household income definition prior to receiving any Program services. This is in addition to meeting the “definition” of a microenterprise, as described above.
City Staff will verify that microenterprise owner(s) meet HUD’s low/mod income household requirement by completing the HUD 24 CFR Part 5. 609 income verification process. Business Assistance program applicants must submit documentation to complete the income verification process, when applicable, to determine program eligibility as requested by City staff (included in Appendix C of the application).
This information will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law but will be used to determine program eligibility. Separate files will be maintained by the City for each Business application.
As with other program activities, if the City determines that the applicant's household income information is not accurate, is over HUD’s income limits, is using funds for ineligible activities, or is disqualified from receiving federal assistance, then all program services will cease immediately, and any allocated funds will be due and payable immediately.
