SECTION IX AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING Washington County participates in Community Development Block Grant and Home Investment Partnership Programs. Although funding for the FirstHOME program limits the number of participants, marketing efforts will comply with requirements of the Consolidated Plan. Specifically, any entity engaged in marketing Washington County funded programs must not discriminate against households who may be included in protected classes. Furthermore, every effort must be made to engage in inclusionary marketing and to use the HUD fair housing logo whenever feasible. SECTION X FirstHOME PARTNERS The FirstHOME Administrator will work with all suburban lenders to make FirstHOME funding available to eligible buyers. Lenders must agree to comply with requirements of the Washington County FirstHOME Program and make files available for monitoring by the FirstHOME Administrator, Washington County and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development upon request. SECTION XI POLICY MODIFICATIONS The Director, Washington County Community Services shall have the authority to make modifications to this policy as necessary for the continued implementation of the program, including, but not limited to: (1) policy revisions necessary due to a change in design of the FirstHOME Program; and (2) policy changes necessary due to revisions in the rules and regulations of the Home Investment Partnership Program (24 CFR Part 92) Program as administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Director has the right to amend this policy and/or discontinue the HRA homebuyer assistance program at any time. 38
