HUD's competitive funding Notice of Funding Availability (NOFAs) contain
the requirement that an applicant must provide a copy of their Code
of Conduct prior to entering into an agreement with HUD. Failure to
provide a copy of an organization's Code of Conduct will prohibit
applicants from receiving HUD funding.
The Code of Conduct:
- Must prohibit the solicitation and acceptance of gifts or gratuities
by officers, employees, and agents for their personal benefit
in excess of minimal value;
- Outline administrative and disciplinary actions available to
remedy violations of such standards,
- Describe the method to be used to ensure that all officers,
employees and agents of the organization are aware of the Code
of Conduct, and
- Must be written on company letterhead that provides a mailing
address, authorized official name, and telephone number.
To reduce the paperwork burden on applicants and HUD staff, starting
in FY 2005, HUD will provide a look-up listing of all Code of Conducts
that were submitted with the FY 2004 NOFA applications. Applicants/grantees
who have a Code of Conduct posted at this website will not have
to submit one with their FY 2005 grant application, unless the name
of the organization or authorized official has changed.
