I. Program Overview HomeAid’s Project Development Program connects builders, community leaders, trade partners, consultants, donors, volunteers, and service providers to combat homelessness. Guided by a builder captain, HomeAid constructs or renovates housing and programmatic facilities using skilled labor, services, and materials, which are donated mainly by the building industry. HomeAid has maintained a 40% in-kind donation rate, with most developments achieving over 80% throughout its history, enabling its service providers to develop affordable projects. This leverage conserves a large portion of the nonprofit funds for operations, housing, and transformative programs. Each HomeAid Affiliate is expected to complete at least one project each year. Project Development begins with presenting the HomeAid mission to local nonprofit organizations that also have a mission to fight homelessness. It is essential for HomeAid Affiliates to educate local nonprofit service providers about HomeAid's mission. Service providers who understand this mission and HomeAid’s housing development priorities are more likely to submit thorough and complete Project Applications. Affiliates can engage with service providers through various methods, such as one-onone meetings, informal roundtable discussions, presentations at homeless coalitions, community councils, or Continuum of Care meetings. As HomeAid Affiliates become more active within their communities and gain a better understanding of the local service providers, they will be better equipped to identify reputable organizations that deliver quality programs and services. Resources can be found in the employee portal, which includes examples of brochures, presentations, and materials designed to educate service providers.

The following exhibit visualizes the general project development process.

II. Project Selection Process The first stage is project selection, which involves identifying a qualified service provider, this may include a visit to the site from the Executive Director. To qualify for assistance as a HomeAid project, the service provider must have a program based in the HomeAid affiliates’ territory and meet the following criteria: 1. A mission to help those experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness. 2. Status as a 501(c)(3) organization or collaboration with a government agency. 3. Strong community and political support. 4. A solid track record of enabling clients to achieve stability and secure long-term housing. 5. Operational funding is in place to sustain and expand client programs. 6. Availability of capital funds or the demonstrated ability to raise the necessary funding to ensure project completion and continued successful operation thereafter. 7. Ownership or control of the property. a. Affiliates will need to assess the service provider's level of ownership/control of the property. A service provider may be negotiating with a jurisdiction regarding a property or leasing it. Based on the likelihood of control or the length of a lease (a minimum of 5 to 10 years recommended), the affiliate can determine the potential investments and project value as it moves toward adoption. If the project includes a lease, the property owner must be notified about the project and the planned work. The affiliate, with help from their lawyer, should decide whether to include the property owner as a third party in the agreement and the insurance policies. 8. A strong commitment to the project. 9. No engagement in discriminatory practices.

2


Numerous details must align for a service provider to express interest, have a project considered, and potentially obtain approval. The graph below illustrates the steps from interest to project approval. The qualifying questionnaire is an optional step.

The Project Application is essential for assessing a project’s scope and the service provider's capacity for completing the project while maintaining operations. No verbal or written commitments should be made until the application process is complete. Project information should be entered into Salesforce once the application is received.

III. Committees The Project Selection and/or Project Development Committee oversees the entire project selection process, from initial screening through adoption of the project. The Project Selection and/or Project Development Committee will be further mentioned as the “committee”. The committee can include the HomeAid Executive Director, board members, consultants, and current or past builder captains. The committee has key tasks that could include identifying a project that a building team can complete successfully; ensuring a qualifying and appropriate nonprofit will manage the facility to help homeless individuals and families achieve self-sufficiency; and recruiting the builder captain. The committee evaluates the service provider’s eligibility based on: •

Application completion

•

Financial capacity for construction and operations

3


•

Quality of responses and documentation

•

Staff and board commitment

•

Community support

•

Alignment with community needs (Housing Inventory Count (HIC) and Point in Time (PIT) data)

•

Board involvement in fundraising

A negative response to any of these factors may signal potential issues. The committee has two primary tools for evaluating applications if desired by the affiliate: the Threshold Review Form and the Technical Review Form. The Threshold Review Form checks whether the service provider meets the minimum requirements. If an application passes this review, it proceeds to the Technical Review, which assesses its quality. If an application does not pass the Threshold Review, the service provider receives feedback on what improvements are needed for future submissions. The Technical Review Form focuses on how effectively the service provider answered the application questions. The scores from both forms assist the committee in determining which projects are most likely to succeed. Following the acceptance of an application, the HomeAid Executive Director and committee members may conduct additional site visits with the service provider. After completing these visits and summarizing the reviews, the committee votes on whether to approve or reject the project and if they will submit it to the board for final approval. If a project is not accepted, the applicant will receive a written notification along with feedback for future applications. If approved, a Provisional Letter of Acceptance will be issued. HomeAid affiliates have faced challenges, including issues with service providers not having control over land entitlements or with launching capital campaigns. It is crucial for service providers to secure adequate funding for the success of construction projects. Financial documents such as budgets and funding proposals should be reviewed by finance or construction specialists, the Board Treasurer or a qualified banking professional. HomeAid America is available to assist throughout this process. Construction delays and change orders can affect project funding, making it essential to discuss any additional costs in advance. Regularly update the project budget and ensure there are adequate contingency funds in place. Change orders that increase costs or expand the project's scope require prior approval from both the service

4


provider and the builder captain. These orders should only move forward if the service provider can supply the necessary resources. Additionally, service providers should be prepared for the possibility that in-kind contributions may not meet expectations. HomeAid must also consider whether funding sources necessitate compliance with prevailing wage laws, as this can increase project costs. It's advisable to avoid projects subject to prevailing wage laws unless absolutely necessary. Some publicly funded projects may be eligible for prevailing wage exemptions. HomeAid affiliates generally provide support for projects through in-kind services and oversight rather than direct financial contributions. Occasionally, an affiliate may have specific funds available for construction-related expenses. HomeAid can help service providers seek additional funding from public or private sources, including collaborative fundraising efforts. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the service provider to secure the necessary financing for project completion, and this responsibility should be clearly outlined during the agreement process. To ensure a successful project, it is crucial to keep detailed meeting notes, budget documents, and construction progress records. After the affiliate board approves the project, the status should be updated in Salesforce, and project details should be updated when details like the budget, dates, or status change. For insurance purposes and when entering data into Salesforce, the project's value should accurately reflect its retail value. Any funds raised for the project must be documented in audits and budgets as contributions from HomeAid and other donors. The Project Budget Tracking template can help organize and effectively track in-kind donations, streamlining the process of recording these contributions.

IV. Builder Captain Recruitment Selecting a builder captain is a critical decision for the committee and the HomeAid Affiliate. When choosing a builder, consider their proximity to the project site, the size and staffing of their company, their ability to secure in-kind donations, and their proposed timeline for project completion. Typically, a builder captain is expected to undertake the project pro bono, meaning they do not earn a profit, and to provide general administrative services at no cost. These terms can be negotiated as the project scope is defined. While a builder captain is generally not required to contribute funds to the project, they may choose to do so at their discretion.

HomeAid Affiliates can identify the right builder captain by: •

Hosting a luncheon to connect service providers with builders, featuring a program graduate who can share community needs.

•

Networking with local or national homebuilders, including those involved in multi-family or commercial projects, as well as connecting with past builder captains.

•

Attending events hosted by local Building Industry Associations (BIA) and Home Builders Associations (HBA).

A builder captain is assigned to the project, and a Project Development Team is formed after the builder captain evaluates the project's scope and budget. This assessment is crucial before finalizing legal documents and obtaining insurance. Once the builder captain estimates the project's costs and accounts for potential in-kind donations and unexpected expenses, a Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement can be drafted. Construction cannot begin without a signed Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement. This document protects HomeAid, the builder captain, trade contractors, suppliers, and donors from any liabilities associated with the construction process. It clearly outlines the financial, legal, and operational responsibilities of all parties involved. For all new affiliates, local lawyers should perform an initial review of HomeAid's Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement to ensure it complies with local laws. Each individual agreement should also be tailored to the project's specific details.

6


V. Trade Partner, Supplier, and Consultant Engagement After selecting a builder captain, it's important to hold a meeting with potential trade partners, suppliers, and consultants early in the project process. This meeting should include HomeAid, the builder captain, and the service provider to generate interest and foster a sense of emotional ownership for the project. It is not uncommon for trade partners to later withdraw due to various schedules and financial circumstances. Be prepared to bring in substitutes to ensure the project's vision continues to prosper.

VI. Insurance Requirements HomeAid America offers a General Liability WRAP/OCIP Insurance Policy to protect all stakeholders involved in a construction project. The service provider is also required to obtain course-of-construction or builder’s risk insurance that covers the full replacement value of the project and all associated risks during the construction period. Depending on the project's location, the Affiliate may also require additional coverage for earthquakes, floods, or other local hazards. Before construction can commence, the service provider must sign the Letter of Agreement, provide proof of the course-of-construction (builder's risk) insurance, and pay the premium for the General Liability WRAP/OCIP insurance. It is required that the service provider or builder captain either be covered under the general liability of WRAP/OCIP insurance policy or provide evidence of an alternative insurance policy. If the service provider or builder captain chooses to obtain their own liability insurance, they must secure both comprehensive general liability and products liability insurance for the duration of the work. This insurance policy must receive approval from HomeAid America. Once the agreement is signed, they must add HomeAid Affiliate and HomeAid America as additional insured parties and provide

7


proof of this coverage. Additionally, the Service Provider or Builder Captain agrees to include the entities listed on the subcontractor's enrollment form as additional insureds and to add any other parties that HomeAid identifies as having made significant contributions to the work. This summary outlines the steps for submitting the General Liability WRAP/OCIP Insurance Application. It includes important details about insurance rates, documentation requirements, and the roles of various parties involved. Following these guidelines will help ensure a smooth process as you plan and execute the project. •

Submit the general liability WRAP/OCIP Insurance Application to HomeAid America, allowing 14 days for processing before the start of construction

•

Reach out to the HomeAid Finance Director to get the current insurance rates.

•

Include HomeAid America, the HomeAid Affiliate, and the service provider in the "Named Insured" section of the application

•

The HomeAid America Finance Director will verify receipt of all necessary documents following the application submission

•

HomeAid America will generate an invoice for the insurance premium and send it to the Affiliate Executive Director for payment from the service provider

•

Once full payment is received, the application will be forwarded to Lockton Insurance Brokers for processing

•

Lockton will coordinate with the builder captain to obtain the necessary certificates of insurance for all parties involved

•

Monthly reports, titled "Enrolled Contractors Report," OCIP Status Report will be provided to HomeAid Executive Directors for all trades that have signed the Subcontractor Enrollment Form. Affiliates should review these reports for accuracy

•

The builder captain and trade contractors are responsible for providing their own Workers' Compensation Insurance and vehicle coverage as required by state law

•

Adjust the insurance coverage when there are substantial budget changes to ensure that the coverage remains accurate by contacting the Director of Finance.

HomeAid does not offer work warranties because many of the trade contractors contribute to their service’s pro bono. Instead of warranties, HomeAid provides a General Liability WRAP/OCIP Insurance Policy that eliminates liability for all companies and individuals involved in the projects. It is important to note that manufacturers' warranties usually only apply to products that have been purchased. Once the legal documents are finalized, the team will conduct a Project Kick-off meeting for all stakeholders. This meeting will outline the project development process, review costs, and clarify roles and schedules. It will also provide an opportunity to introduce participants and generate excitement for the project.

VII. Project Kick- off and Stakeholder Alignment The Project Kick-off meeting will address the following topics: •

Approval and payment processes for invoices

•

Change order procedures

•

Schedule and frequency of construction meetings

•

Identification of key events (such as groundbreaking, topping off, wall-raising, frame walks, and dedication)

•

Creation of an event budget

•

Leadership roles and shared responsibilities between the service provider and HomeAid - Planning for communication and publicity - Submission of permits as necessary

VIII. Project Development Process The project development team has several key responsibilities, including: 1. Completing the project design 2. Conducting research and securing all necessary entitlements and permits 3. Recruiting trade partners 4. Continue to evaluate the project's financial viability

9


5. Coordinating the project from inception to completion HomeAid has successfully completed a range of projects across the continuum of care to address local community needs. These projects include affordable housing, renovations, and new constructions for both residential and commercial purposes. Some projects add beds while others create space for supportive services like offices, kitchens, playgrounds, classrooms and counseling rooms, enabling service providers to better assist their clients. When considering multiple projects, priority should be given to those that add or preserve beds. An Affiliate may invest significant time—ranging from days to years—working with a service provider on pre-development work. This phase may include tasks such as site selection, feasibility studies, financial planning, design development, and securing permits and approvals. For some projects, the scope of work may be limited to only the pre-development phase. It is essential to assemble a skilled team, which may include a land developer, general contractor, civil engineer, architect, land surveyor, title company representative, soils engineer, or any other knowledgeable and interested individual. Key questions for due diligence may include: - Does the zoning meet your needs?

- Are utilities available?

- Is the property plated or does it need re- - Is the land raw or previously developed? plating? - Is the site too hilly? Is there too much

- What are the timelines and costs for

development and construction?

- Is the property size adequate for your

- Are bonds required by the jurisdiction?

structure? - Are land dedications in place?

- Are there local opposition issues or HOA concerns?

- Is there property access?

- Is the building historically designated?

10


IX. HomeAid Project Representation A representative from HomeAid, alongside the Builder Captain, must attend all project meetings to ensure clear communication and effective project control. Their involvement keeps everyone informed and helps address issues promptly, supporting the project's success.

X. Design and Permitting For projects that are larger than minor renovations or those requiring official approvals, a design team is crucial. This team develops the necessary plans and drawings and can also assist with fundraising. An architect or planner typically leads the team, collaborating with civil engineers, electrical engineers, and other specialists. In some cases, the service provider may secure pro bono assistance. HomeAid will also seek additional consultants from local builders, aiming to obtain donated services, which will be tracked in the project budget. The budget should include estimates for all costs, including required bonds, which the service provider should be prepared to pay, with the expectation of receiving any unused funds back after the project's completion. The design team can be assembled before a builder captain is selected. The journey from concept to final approval can take several years. If a builder captain has not been identified yet, the Affiliate should include a builder representative to assist in reviewing the plans. Gaining necessary approvals will require collaboration with local councils or supervisors. HomeAid plays a critical role in discussions and public hearings by advocating for the project.

11


XI. Construction Management The builder captain usually assigns a Project Manager to oversee the design and entitlement process and a Construction Superintendent to manage scheduling and construction. The Project Development Team, which comprises the service provider, builder captain, Affiliate Executive Director, and HomeAid Project Liaison, meets regularly to review the construction schedule and budget, addressing any issues that may arise. It is essential to have active cooperation from the builder captain’s purchasing agents to maintain commitments from trade partners and suppliers, ensuring that the construction schedule is met.

XII. Public Relations and Promotion The Partnership and Project Promotional Addendum outlines how the HomeAid Affiliate and the service provider will work together to promote their partnership. It specifies the responsibilities of each party in recognizing the contributions made by HomeAid and other partners. This addendum should be added to the Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement. The Project Development team will create an inspiring public relations plan that utilizes both local resources and those from HomeAid America. This plan is a crucial component of the HomeAid program, as it aims to inform the public about the significant contributions of the building industry in providing housing and support for individuals who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The public relations plan may include some or all the following elements: 1. Articles featured in magazines such as Builder, Builder and Developer, and local interest publications. 2. Editorials submitted by HomeAid, highlighting the contributions of donors. 3. Naming rights and a permanent plaque at the project site. 4. Special event recognition, e.g., for groundbreakings and dedications.

12


5. Proclamations from local governments, including city, county, state, or federal representatives. 6. Construction signage displayed at the site (if applicable). 7. Recognition in the service provider’s newsletters and publications. 8. Acknowledgment in HomeAid publications and on the website. 9. Issuance of recognition certificates and awards at dedication event. 10. Updates and recognition shared on social media platforms. 11. Approved boilerplate text for all parties involved. 12. Press releases distributed to media outlets. Groundbreaking and dedication events are essential forms of public recognition and should be included in every public relations plan. HomeAid Affiliates should organize and oversee these events to raise awareness of the HomeAid mission and properly acknowledge partners. A groundbreaking ceremony typically includes speeches, gold shovels, hard hats, and refreshments, providing opportunities for media exposure and photography. In contrast, a dedication ceremony, which takes place upon project completion, may feature ribbon-cutting, awards, trade recognition, speeches, tours, a permanent plaque, and light refreshments. It is important to establish funding responsibilities for these events early in the project development process. Additionally, special event insurance can be obtained from HomeAid America to protect against potential risks.

XIII. Post- Construction Responsibilities The Project Development Team is responsible for explaining how responsibilities will be managed after the construction is completed. The HomeAid Affiliate must mark the project as "Completed" in Salesforce and update all relevant details following the dedication event. If there is no formal dedication date, use the date when the project received the Certificate of Occupancy or the date when the

13


insurance coverage ended. The dedication date will also serve as the starting point for tracking the number of people served.

XIV. Financial Contributions from Service providers Pay it Forward Fee/In-kind/Developer Fee To support Affiliate operations and provide the service provider an opportunity to invest in the project, each HomeAid Affiliate may charge the service provider a fee. This fee is set at ten percent (10%) of the total value of in-kind (pro bono) contributions made by the builder captain, trade contractors, suppliers, consultants, and other volunteers. The fee will be based on the actual final value of these contributions assessed at the end of the project. A preliminary value will be included in the Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement, but the final value will be determined after project completion. The service provider is required to pay the fee to the HomeAid Affiliate no later than 120 days after the project concludes. Alternatively, the Affiliate may charge the service provider a flat fee, a predetermined amount, a percentage of the overall project cost, or decide to waive the fee.

XV. Care Days and Community Drives HomeAid is dedicated to making a significant impact through two exceptional opportunities for involvement beyond Build projects. First, individuals can participate in Care Days, where volunteers come together to assist with maintenance, painting, landscaping, and minor improvements. These projects are usually completed within a few days. Care Days utilize WRAP/OCIP Insurance and are typically provided by the HomeAid Affiliate, at no cost to service providers. HomeAid also organizes Drives to collect items from communities or businesses. Volunteers typically gather to inventory the donated items, assemble Care Kits, stock

14


houses, or distribute the collected items to people in need or service providers. These Drives are covered under special events insurance. Both Care Days and Drives effectively complement Build projects, enhancing the impact and visibility of HomeAid within the community. They also offer engaging, lowpressure opportunities for collaboration with current and new service providers. Furthermore, these initiatives can serve as vibrant platforms for raising awareness about HomeAid's mission. Through hands-on activities or community engagement efforts, these events aim to foster a deeper connection and understanding of the vital work conducted by HomeAid, invigorating the spirit of collaboration and support within the communities served.

XVI. The Three Pillars of HomeAid

HomeAid is built on three pillars that work together to combat homelessness: Construction, Community Engagement, and Education. Understanding how these pillars connect is essential for anyone representing HomeAid — whether you're new to the organization, serving on a board, or supporting a committee at one of our affiliates.

Construction is the most visible expression of our mission. Through partnerships with builders, developers, trade contractors, and suppliers, HomeAid through its affiliates across the country builds and renovates housing for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. These projects are made possible largely

15


through in-kind donations of materials, labor, and expertise from the home building industry — turning our industry's skills into safe, dignified places to live. Community Engagement is what mobilizes the people and resources behind every build. This pillar connects builders, other non-profit organization, vendors, volunteers, and local partners to HomeAid's mission, creating opportunities for the community to give back in tangible, hands-on ways. It's also how we build public awareness of homelessness in the communities we serve and rally support —financial, material, and volunteer — for our work. Education extends our impact. This pillar educates and brings awareness to the broader community, industry partners, and policymakers about the causes and solutions to homelessness.

Financial Responsibility.

The Builder Captain for the Project has estimated that the cost of completing the Project, over and above the donation of goods and services to be obtained by HomeAid [and anticipated grant monies], (the "Remaining Financial Requirement") will be approximately $_________. (Note: This amount, as noted below, could be greater.) It is the ultimate responsibility of the Service Provider to provide the Remaining Financial Requirement; i.e., the funds necessary to complete the Project. Service Provider hereby acknowledges that HomeAid's contribution is limited to such in-kind donations of labor and materials as it may be able to obtain. [INCLUDE THIS PARAGRAPH IF HOMEAID {TERRITORY} EXPECTS TO ADVANCE FUNDS FOR THE PROJECT: Although the ultimate responsibility for completion of the Project shall, in all events, remain with Service Provider, HomeAid may advance some funds as the Project progresses. It shall be the Service Provider's responsibility to reimburse HomeAid for any advanced funds, whether from the Service Provider's own funds or from grant monies anticipated to be obtained through the efforts of HomeAid, the Service Provider, or both. In the event that the anticipated grant monies are ultimately unavailable, Service Provider shall remain obligated to reimburse HomeAid for all funds advanced by HomeAid.] The following cost breakdown furnished by the Builder Captain for the Project shows the calculation of the estimated Remaining Financial Contribution (i.e., funds to be secured by the Service Provider): Total Budgeted Cost of Project (Est.)

$

Less the Value of In-Kind Contributions (Est.)

ESTIMATED REMAINING FINANCIAL REQUIREMENT (i.e., funds to be secured by Service Provider)

There can be no assurance that in-kind donations of labor and materials in the amount outlined in the cost breakdown above will ultimately be available. As a result, we will not be able to determine with accuracy the exact amount of the Remaining Financial Requirement until the construction work is virtually complete. The Service Provider must be prepared to cover the Remaining Financial Requirement, which may be estimated from time to time throughout the "pre-development" and "during-construction" periods. To ensure that the Project will be completed, HomeAid requires that Service Provider deposit into the "Construction Account" defined below an amount equal to ____% of the Remaining Financial Requirement before commencing the Project. Please provide us with evidence of such a deposit into the Construction Account as soon as possible.

2.

Disbursements; Construction Account.

Service Provider shall make appropriate arrangements with the Builder Captain for proper disbursements of its funds in accordance with usual and customary construction industry practices. Service Provider shall maintain control of its own funds, and HomeAid shall not be responsible for the handling of any of Service Provider's funds. Service Provider shall establish a separate bank account with respect to the Project (the "Construction Account"). All the funds for the construction of the Project shall be deposited into and disbursed from the Construction Account. Service Provider shall deposit all of its funds for the construction of the Project in the Construction Account. Any funds that may be advanced or contributed by HomeAid shall also be deposited in the Construction Account. Funds may be withdrawn from the Construction Account only for the purpose of paying construction costs and only upon the authorization of two (2) signatories, [optional one representing HomeAid and one representing Service Provider]. Service Provider shall maintain adequate books and records with respect to the Project, including copies of all invoices, lien releases, and other items. In addition, Service Provider shall produce or cause to be produced a periodic statement showing, by line item, budgeted expenditures, expenditures made to date and amounts remaining to be expended. The form of such statement shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Builder Captain. The statement shall be updated no less frequently than monthly. Service Provider shall submit to HomeAid and Builder Captain a copy of each periodic statement showing the progress of construction. HomeAid and the Builder Captain shall also have access to books and records relating to the Project at any time upon reasonable request of the Service Provider. 3.

Exoneration Agreement.

(a) Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3(b) below, Service Provider hereby irrevocably exonerates, releases, acquits and discharges all of the following persons and entities (each, an "Exonerated Party" and collectively, the "Exonerated Parties”): HomeAid; the members of HomeAid, if any; HomeAid America, and any and all subcontractors, suppliers, architects, engineers, designers, consulting firms and others who, through the auspices, directly or indirectly, of HomeAid, have provided or will provide services, materials or supplies (whether or not for compensation) in connection with the Work, and each of their past, present and future employees, officers, directors, attorneys, affiliates, representatives, subsidiaries and agents (including, but not limited to, those persons or entities, if any, set forth on Schedule " 1" attached hereto) of and from any and all demands, losses, claims, costs, suits, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of, relating to or in any manner connected with the Work (each a "Liability," and collectively, the "Liabilities"), which Service Provider has or asserts, or hereafter may have or assert, against any of the Exonerated Parties. Service Provider agrees that it shall not initiate or prosecute a judicial action against any of the Exonerated Parties with respect to any such Liability. (b) In the event that any Exonerated Party or any person who has assumed, been assigned, or is subrogated to the rights of any Exonerated Party (each of such persons and Exonerated Party being hereinafter referred to as a "Claimant") brings an action or claim against Service Provider arising out of, relating to, or in any manner connected with the Work, then the provisions of Paragraph 3(a) above shall no longer bind Care Provider as to such Exonerated Party, and Service Provider shall, in such event, have the right to initiate and maintain an action or cross-complaint based upon a Liability of such Exonerated Party to Service Provider; provided, however, that (i) Service Provider shall have provided such Claimant with at least ten (10) calendar days' prior written notice of the provisions hereof and of Service Provider's intent to bring an action or cross-complaint based upon a Liability of such Exonerated Party pursuant to this Paragraph 3(b), and (ii) upon the expiration of such ten (10) calendar day period, such Claimant shall not have withdrawn the action or claim against Service Provider. 26


[Check local law for wording of the following paragraph:] (c) Service Provider acknowledges that it is aware of and familiar with the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." (d) Service Provider hereby waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits which it may have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, or the law of any other state or jurisdiction, or common law principle, to the same or similar effect. Service Provider Initials:

4.

[ALTERNATE #1] Insurance.

(a) HomeAid has secured and shall maintain, in full force and effect during such time as the Work is underway, a comprehensive general liability insurance policy (the "Policy"), completed operations and products liability insurance. The Policy shall be in such form and carried by such insurer as HomeAid America may from time to time determine. (b) Service Provider hereby agrees to pay HomeAid for delivery to HomeAid America Service Provider's proportionate share of the premium for the Policy based on the prorated premium for such policy established by HomeAid America. Concurrently with the execution hereof, Service Provider shall pay an amount equal to (A) _________ Dollars ($___) [insert current insurance rate] times (B) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the estimated Total Budgeted Cost of the Project by (ii) One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or a total of _________ and __/100 Dollars ($________) representing the Service Provider's pro rata share of the insurance premium for the Policy. (c) As soon as practicable after the execution hereof, HomeAid shall cause Service Provider to be named as an additional insured under the Policy. (d) HomeAid agrees that it will name the persons or entities listed in Schedule 1 hereof as additional insureds under the Policy and that it will endeavor to name as an additional insured under the Policy such other Exonerated Parties as HomeAid reasonably determines from time to time to have made a significant contribution toward the performance and accomplishment of the Work. 4.

[ALTERNATE #2] Insurance.

(a) Service Provider shall secure and shall maintain in full force and effect during such time as the Work is underway a comprehensive general liability insurance policy (the "Policy"), completed operations and products liability insurance. The Policy shall be in such form and carried by such insurer as HomeAid shall reasonably approve. (b) As soon as practicable after the execution hereof, Service Provider shall name HomeAid and HomeAid America as additional insureds under the Policy, and a certificate evidencing such coverage shall be provided to HomeAid. (c) Service Provider agrees that it will also name the persons or entities listed in Schedule 1 hereof as additional insureds under the Policy and that it will endeavor to name as additional insured under the Policy such other Exonerated Parties as HomeAid reasonably determines from time to time to have made a significant contribution toward the performance and accomplishment of the Work.

5.

Casualty Insurance

Service Provider shall obtain a course of construction or builder's risk policy of insurance covering the Project for the full replacement value thereof during the course of construction. [Depending upon the project location, the HomeAid Affiliate may also wish to require that the policy insure against loss from earthquake, flood or both; if so, add requirement here.] Service Provider agrees to verify such insurance along with this Letter of Agreement. Such insurance shall include a waiver by the insurance carrier of its right of subrogation with respect to any person or entity named, from time to time, as a primary or additional insured under the Policy. 6.

Pay It Forward Fee to HomeAid.

Service Providers are expected to make a Pay It Forward Fee to HomeAid of ten percent (10%) of the estimated value of HomeAid's contribution of in-kind goods and services to the Project. These funds are used to help defray administrative costs associated with HomeAid activities related to the Project. As the cost breakdown above indicates, the current estimated value of the in-kind goods and services is approximately $________. The contribution from Service Provider is therefore currently estimated at $________. [ALTERNATE #1] Service Provider acknowledges that the Pay If Forward Fee will be adjusted towards the end of the project when a more accurate estimate of in-kind donations can be assessed. As such, Service Provider agrees to pay their contribution to HomeAid upon completion of the project. [HomeAid Affiliate may require a portion or all of this contribution to be paid up before the commencement of construction; if so, please edit this paragraph accordingly.] [ALTERNATE #2] The Board of Directors of HomeAid [Territory] has determined, because of the worthiness of the Project, to waive the requirement of the Pay It Forward Fee for this Project. 7.

Publicity and Public Relations.

Service Provider acknowledges its obligation to cooperate with HomeAid to publicize HomeAid's assistance to Service Provider and its contribution to ending homelessness. Accordingly, Service Provider agrees to abide by the terms of the attached Partnership and Project Promotion Addendum. 8.

(a) Site, Entitlements, Permits. Service Provider shall be responsible for furnishing the site for the Project and for obtaining all land use approvals, other entitlements and building permits required for the Project. Service Provider shall make all reasonable efforts to secure all necessary funding to complete the Project.

APPENDIX M: Project Development Process in a Nutshell This guide provides a brief overview of HomeAid’s project development process. It is intended as a quick reference and does not replace the full Project Development Program Handbook, which contains detailed requirements, procedures, and templates. 1. Application Review The local HomeAid affiliate reviews applications from nonprofit service providers serving individuals or families experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Generally, an applicant must: • Be a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. • Have a mission and programs that support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. • Demonstrate a record of success in the community. • Provide programs or services that promote stability and self-sufficiency. • Demonstrate appropriate ownership, control, or authorization to improve the project property. • Meet any additional requirements described in the HomeAid Project Development Handbook.

2. Initial Project Evaluation If the application appears to be a good fit, HomeAid representatives meet with the service provider and tour the property. Together, they begin identifying the project’s needs and developing a preliminary scope of work. If HomeAid decides to continue evaluating the project, it may issue a provisional letter of acceptance. This letter explains that: • HomeAid will work to identify a qualified Builder Captain to lead the construction process. • The service provider must secure sufficient funding to pay for project costs that are not donated. • Final acceptance remains subject to completion of the project budget, agreements, and other

required approvals.

A provisional letter does not guarantee that construction will proceed. 3. Builder Captain and Project Budget HomeAid recruits a Builder Captain to evaluate the proposed work and prepare a project budget based on the agreed-upon scope. The budget should reflect the project’s full value before donations, including: • Labor and materials • Architecture, engineering, and permitting • Other soft costs • Applicable overhead and project expenses

43


HomeAid, the Builder Captain, and other project partners may work together to solicit donated labor, materials, and professional services. One party—typically the Builder Captain—should be designated to track the original budget, committed donations, actual expenses, and remaining funding needs. 4. Agreements, Funding, and Insurance After the service provider approves the scope and budget, HomeAid prepares the required project agreements. The Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement documents: • The approved scope of work • The project budget • The roles and responsibilities of each party • The service provider’s responsibility for costs that are not covered by donations • Any applicable project fees and closeout requirements

Before moving forward, HomeAid should confirm that the scope is realistic and that the service provider has sufficient funding for anticipated non-donated costs. The Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement provides the protections required to initiate general liability insurance coverage through HomeAid America. It addresses the responsibilities and liability protections of the HomeAid affiliate, HomeAid America, the service provider, the Builder Captain, participating trades, and, when applicable, the sponsoring HBA or BIA. 5. Project Launch and Public Relations Once the required agreements, funding, scope, and expectations are in place, HomeAid may hold a groundbreaking ceremony. A formal groundbreaking is optional. HomeAid should coordinate all publicity with the service provider and Builder Captain. Depending on the project’s size and timeline, additional milestone events may be appropriate. 6. Construction and Communication The Builder Captain leads day-to-day construction. HomeAid, the Builder Captain, and the service provider should meet or communicate regularly to: • Review progress and upcoming work • Monitor the budget and in-kind donations • Address changes to the scope or schedule • Identify funding concerns • Resolve communication or project issues

7. Project Completion and Dedication At project completion, HomeAid works with the service provider and Builder Captain to determine whether a dedication or other recognition event is appropriate. HomeAid may also:

44


• Coordinate project publicity and media outreach • Recognize the Builder Captain, trades, donors, and volunteers • Provide certificates, awards, or other acknowledgments • Collect final project photographs and impact information

8. Project Closeout Every project must be formally closed out in accordance with HomeAid America requirements. The closeout process generally includes: • Final project budget and actual expenses • Final value of donated labor, materials, and professional services • Final list of participating builders, trades, and donors • Project photographs and completion information • Completion of required Salesforce records • Any additional reports or documentation required by HomeAid America

At the completion of the project, the service provider will be invoiced by the HomeAid affiliate for a fee equal to 10% of the project’s final verified in-kind donation value, as specified in the Letter of Agreement/Exoneration Agreement. For example, if the project receives $100,000 in donated labor, materials, and services, the service provider will owe the HomeAid affiliate a $10,000 project fee. This fee helps support the affiliate’s work to develop, coordinate, manage, and document the project. The project is considered fully closed after all required documentation has been completed, final project values have been verified, and the service provider’s project fee has been paid. For detailed requirements, required approvals, templates, insurance procedures, and reporting instructions, consult the current HomeAid Project Development Handbook.

APPENDIX P: Project Promotional Addendum - Summary This addendum describes how the HomeAid Affiliate and service provider will promote their partnership and outlines each party's responsibilities for acknowledging contributions from HomeAid and other partners. The Project Development team will develop a public relations plan that draws on local resources and support from HomeAid America. As a key part of the HomeAid program, the plan will inform the public about the building industry's contributions to providing housing and support for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Use the Partnership and Project Promotion Addendum to raise awareness of this project. The plan may include some or all of the following:

PROMOTIONAL PLAN ELEMENTS • Articles featured in magazines such as Builder, Builder and Developer, and local interest publications. • Editorials submitted by HomeAid, highlighting the contributions of donors. • Permanent plaque at the project site. • Special event recognition (e.g., for groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies). • Proclamations from local governments, including City, County, State, or Federal representatives. • Construction signage displayed at the site (if applicable). • Recognition in the Service Provider's newsletters and publications. • Acknowledgment in HomeAid publications and on the website. • Issuance of recognition certificates and awards. • Updates and recognition shared on social media platforms. • Approved boilerplate text for all parties involved. • Press releases distributed to media outlets. (Optional)

GROUNDBREAKINGS AND DEDICATIONS Groundbreaking and dedication ceremonies are the most common forms of public recognition and should be included in every public relations plan. HomeAid Affiliates should organize or oversee these events to raise awareness of the HomeAid mission and appropriately recognize partners.

A groundbreaking ceremony typically includes speeches, gold shovels, hard hats, and refreshments, offering media exposure and photo opportunities. A dedication ceremony is held when the project is complete and may feature a ribbon cutting, awards, speeches, tours, a permanent plaque, and light refreshments.

At both events, recognize the Builder Captain and trades for their significant contributions. Establish funding responsibilities early in project development. Special event insurance is available through HomeAid America.
