EXHIBIT A

Obligation Report

Treasury has published guidance, available on its website, setting forth the procedures for the reallocation of ERA funds under the Act. As described in the guidance, Treasury considers ERA funds to be obligated if (i) the funds have actually been spent providing financial assistance and housing stability services for eligible households; (ii) the funds are needed to pay for assistance promised in a commitment letter issued to induce a landlord to enter a rental agreement with an eligible household under Treasury’s ERA FAQ #35; or (iii) subject to certain conditions, the grantee has, as part of the grantee’s ERA program administration, entered into a binding agreement or funding commitment requiring the grantee to disburse the funds to a third party for eligible purposes. In addition, Treasury will consider 10% of each grantee’s total award amount as having been obligated for administrative costs regardless of the grantee’s actual expenditures, commitments, or obligations.

Please provide information on this Exhibit A only regarding the ERA Grantee’s use of funds from the ERA1 Award authorized by the Act – not regarding its use of funds under an ERA award authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ERA2”).

Consistent with Treasury’s reallocation guidance, the undersigned hereby represents and certifies to Treasury that:

As of [insert date], the ERA Grantee has obligated its ERA1 Award funds as follows:

Enter 10% of total ERA1 Award amount for administrative costs:	$
Enter total of all other amounts obligated by ERA Grantee as of the date hereof:	$

Voluntarily Reallocated Funds

In accordance with Treasury’s ERA1 Reallocation Guidance, grantees may request to voluntarily reallocate some or all of their remaining ERA1 award funds to another ERA1 grantee that (i) administers an ERA1 program in the same state, territory, or Tribal area; (ii) has obligated at least 65% of its own ERA1 award by the time of such transfer; and (iii) confirms a demonstrated need for additional assistance in the grantee’s jurisdiction.

If known, please identify below any ERA1 grantee(s) who have recommended or are expected to recommend the voluntary reallocation of ERA1 funds to the ERA Grantee.

If awarded voluntarily reallocated funds, the ERA Grantee agrees to comply with all administrative and operational requirements applicable to the transfer of ERA1 funds between and among ERA1 grantees. These requirements may include the provision of any standard form documents needed to confirm a grantee’s data universal number system (DUNS) number, deposit account, wire instructions, or other funds transfer information. The ERA Grantee understands that failure to comply with these requirements may result in Treasury awarding any funds recommended for reallocation to the ERA Grantee to other grantees.

As a condition to receiving voluntarily reallocated funds, the ERA Grantee certifies that it has complied with all ERA1 requirements under applicable law, the ERA1 guidance published by Treasury, and its ERA1 Award Terms. The ERA Grantee agrees that it will use its remaining ERA1 funds, including any additional funds received through reallocation, in compliance with all such authorities.
