**NOTE:** All questions that address requirements contain the citation
for the source of the requirement (statute, regulation, NOFA, or grant
agreement). If the requirement is not met, HUD must make a finding of
noncompliance. All other questions (questions that do not contain the
citation for the requirement) do not address requirements, but are
included to assist the reviewer in understanding the participant\'s
program more fully and/or to identify issues that, if not properly
addressed, could result in deficient performance. Negative conclusions
to these questions may result in a \"concern\" being raised, but not a
**\"finding.**\"

**[Instructions]{.underline}:** This Exhibit is designed to review the
PJ's written agreement for compliance with HOME regulatory requirements

the sampling guidance in Section 7-4 of the introduction to this
