AGENCY agrees to provide the defense for, and to indemnify and hold harmless CITY its agents, employees, or contractors from any and all claims, suits, causes of action, demands, damages, losses, attorney fees, expenses, and liability arising out of the use of these contracted funds and program administration and implementation except to the extent caused by the willful act or omission of CITY, its agents, employees, or contractors. 27. NON-RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES A. No organization will be prohibited from participating in activities supported by CITY funding including programs that make funds available through contracts, grants, or cooperative agreements. AGENCY is prohibited from discriminating against beneficiaries in providing services or carrying out activities with such assistance based on religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice, while also noting that organizations that participate in programs only funded by indirect CITY or Federal financial assistance need not modify their program or activities to accommodate beneficiaries who choose to expend the indirect aid on those AGENCYS' programs. Page 13 B. Faith based organizations that carry out programs or activities with direct financial assistance are required to provide written notice of certain protections to beneficiaries and prospective beneficiaries. Specifically, such organizations are required to give notice to beneficiaries that: (1) The organization may not discriminate against a beneficiary or prospective beneficiary based on religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to attend or participate in a religious practice; (2) The organization may not require a beneficiary to attend or participate in any explicitly religious activities that are offered by the organization, and any participation by the beneficiary in such activities must be purely voluntary; and (3) The organization must separate, in time or location, any privately funded explicitly religious activities from activities supported by direct Federal financial assistance; and (4) If a beneficiary objects to the religious character of the organization, the organization must undertake reasonable efforts to identify and referthe beneficiary to an alternative provider to which the beneficiary has no such objection; (5) A beneficiary or prospective beneficiary may report an organization's violation of these protections, including any denials of services or benefits by an organization, by contacting or filing a written complaint to the CITY or the intermediary administering the program, if applicable. (a) Faith-based organizations must provide this notice to prospective beneficiaries prior to enrollment. In the event of an emergency or exigent circumstances that make it impracticable to provide the written notice in advance, prospective beneficiaries may receive the notice at the earliest available opportunity. Current beneficiaries must receive the notice at the earliest available opportunity. (b) Faith-based organizations that carry out a program or activity with direct Federal financial assistance from HUD are to promptly undertake reasonable efforts to identify an alternative provider if a beneficiary or prospective beneficiary objects to the religious character of the organization, and to refer the beneficiary or prospective beneficiary to an alternative provider to which the beneficiary or prospective beneficiary has no such objection. 28.

Neither shall such payment, act, or omission in any manner impair or prejudice any right, power, privilege, or remedy available to CITY to enforce its rights hereunder, which rights, powers, privileges, or remedies are always specifically preserved.

H. If AGENCY provides services to the homeless it is required to: (1) Report homeless data to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). Homeless Management Information System (HMIS): HMIS is a countywide data management tool designed to facilitate data collection in order to improve human Page 15 service delivery throughout Denton County. Participation in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is a requirement per this agreement. Data entered into HMIS will help our community improve services to individuals experiencing homelessness by providing accurate information on the extent and nature of homelessness in our community and by accounting for our success in helping people move out of homelessness. Participation is also critical to help Denton and Denton County successfully compete for grants for federal funding, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's homeless assistance funds. (2) Participate in the Denton County Homeless Leadership Team meetings and any applicable workgroup(s). The Denton County Homeless Leadership Team is a collaborative, cross-sector team that convenes to improve the planning, coordination, oversight, and implementation required to create systems change for housing/homelessness initiatives in Denton County.
