Sec.  115.307  Additional requirements for participation in the FHAP.



    (a) Agencies which participate in the FHAP must:

    (1) Conform to reporting and record maintenance requirements 

determined by the Assistant Secretary;

    (2) Agree to on-site technical assistance and guidance and 

implementation of corrective actions set out by the Department in 

response to deficiencies found during the technical assistance or 

performance assessment evaluations of the agency's operations;

    (3) Agree to implement and adhere to policies and procedures (as 

their laws and ordinances will allow) provided to the agencies by the 

Assistant Secretary, including but not limited to guidance on 

investigative techniques, case file preparation and organization, 

implementation of data elements for complaint tracking, etc.;

    (4) Spend at least twenty (20) percent of its total annual budget on 

fair housing activities; and

    (5) Not unilaterally reduce the level of financial resources 

currently committed to fair housing complaint processing (budget and 

staff reductions or other actions outside the control of the agency will 

not, alone, result in a negative determination for the agency's 

participation in the FHAP).

    (b) The agency's refusal to provide information, assist in 

implementation, or carry out the requirements of paragraph (a) of this 

section may result in the denial or interruption of its receipt of FHAP 

funds.
