§92.354 Labor
a. General.
1. Every contract for the construction (rehabilitation or new construction)of housing that includes 12
or more units assisted with HOME funds must contain a provision requiring the payment of not
less than the wages prevailing in the locality, as predetermined by the Secretary of Labor
pursuant to the Davis-Bacon Act(40 U.S.C. 276x-276a-5), to all laborers and mechanics
employed in the development of any part of the housing. Such contracts must also be subject
to the overtime provisions, as applicable, of the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act
(40 U.S.C. 327-332).
2.The contract for construction must contain these wage provisions if HOME funds are used for any
project costs in § 92.206, including construction or nonconstruction costs, of housing with 12 or
more HOME-assisted units. When HOME funds are only used to assist homebuyers to acquire
single-family housing, and not for any other project costs, the wage provisions apply to the
construction of the housing if there is a written agreement with the owner or developer of the
housing that HOME funds will be used to assist homebuyers to buy the housing and the
construction contract covers 12 or more housing units to be purchased with HOME assistance.
The wage provisions apply to any construction contract that includes a total of 12 or more
HOME-assisted units, whether one or more than one project is covered by the construction
contract. Once they are determined to be applicable, the wage provisions must be contained in

b. Conflicts prohibited. No persons described in paragraph (c) of this section who exercise or have

participating jurisdiction, State recipient, or subrecipient which are receiving HOME funds.
d. Exceptions: Threshold requirements. Upon the written request of the participating jurisdiction, HUD

when it determines that the exception will serve to further the purposes of the HOME Investment
Partnerships Program and the effective and efficient administration of the participating jurisdiction's
program or project.An exception may be considered only after the participating jurisdiction has
provided the following.
1. A disclosure of the nature of the conflict, accompanied by an assurance that there has been
public disclosure of the conflict and a description of how the public disclosure was made; and
2. An opinion of the participating jurisdiction's or State recipient's attorney that the interest for which
the exception is sought would not violate State or local law.
e. Factors to be considered for exceptions. In determining whether to grant a requested exception after
the participating jurisdiction has satisfactorily met the requirements of paragraph (d)of this section,
HLID will consider the cumulative effect of the following factors, where applicable:
1.Whether the exception would provide a significant cost benefit or an essential degree of expertise
to the program or project which would otherwise not be available;
2. Whether the person affected is a member of a group or class of low-income persons intended to
be the beneficiaries of the assisted activity, and the exception will permit such person to
13

receive generally the same interests or benefits as are being made available or provided to the
group or class;
3.Whether the affected person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibilities, or the
decisionmaking process with respect to the specific assisted activity in question;
4.Whether the interest or benefit was present before the affected person was in a position as
described in paragraph (c)of this section;
5.Whether undue hardship will result either to the participating jurisdiction or the person affected
when weighed against the public interest served by avoiding the prohibited conflict; and
6.Any other relevant considerations.

1. No owner, developer or sponsor of a project assisted with HOME funds(or officer, employee,
agent or consultant of the owner, developer or sponsor)whether private,for profit or non-profit

provision does not apply to an individual who receives HOME funds to acquire or rehabilitate
his or her principal residence or to an employee or agent of the owner or developer of a rental
housing project who occupies a housing unit as the project manager or maintenance worker.
2. Exceptions. Upon written request of a housing owner or developer, the participating jurisdiction
(or State recipient, if authorized by the State participating jurisdiction) may grant an exception
to the provisions of paragraph(f)(1)of this section on a case-by-case basis when it determines
that the exception will serve to further the purposes of the HOME program and the effective
and efficient administration of the owner's or developer's HOME-assisted project. In
determining whether to grant a requested exception,the participating jurisdiction shall consider
the following factors:
i. Whether the person receiving the benefit is a member of a group or class of low-income
persons intended to be the beneficiaries of the assisted housing, and the exception will
permit such person to receive generally the same interests or benefits as are being made
available or provided to the group or class;
ii. Whether the person has withdrawn from his or her functions or responsibilities, or the
decision making process with respect to the specific assisted housing in question;
iii.Whether the tenant protection requirements of§ 92.253 are being observed;
iv.Whether the affirmative marketing requirements of§92.351 are being observed and
