except as otherwise provided in section 700.160.

    (c) Monitoring of project sites by governmental units. States,

and procedures, in such manner as prescribed by HUD or RHS.

    (d) Reports. Each grantee shall submit program and fiscal reports 

and program budgets to the Secretary concerned in such form and at such 

times, as the Secretary concerned requires.

    (e) Enforcement. The Secretary concerned will enforce the 

obligations of the grantee under the agreement through such action as 

may be necessary, including terminating grants, recapturing grant funds, 

and imposing sanctions.

    (1) These actions may be taken for:

    (i) A grantee's non-compliance with the grant agreement or HUD or

    (ii) Failure of the grantee to provide supportive services within 12 

months of execution of the grant agreement.

    (2) Sanctions include but are not limited to the following:

    (i) Temporary withholding of reimbursements or extensions or 

renewals under the grant agreement, pending correction of deficiencies 

by the grantee;

    (ii) Setting conditions in the contract;

    (iii) Termination of the grant;

    (iv) Substitution of grantee; and

    (v) Any other action deemed necessary by the Secretary concerned.

    (f) Renewal of grants. Subject to the availability of funding, 

satisfactory performance, and compliance with the regulations in this 

part:

    (1) Grantees funded initially under this part shall be eligible to 

receive continued, non-competitive renewals after the initial five-year 

term of the grant.

    (2) Grantees will receive priority funding and grants will be 

renewed within time periods prescribed by the Secretary concerned.

    (g) Use of Grant Funds. If during any year, grantees use less than 

the annual amount of CHSP funds provided to them for that year, the 

excess amount can be carried forward for use in later years.
