c <br />? <br />16 <br />IX. TRAINING <br />The Agency must send staff to mandatory training sponsored by HUD, <br />including, but not necessarily limited to, the National Fair Housing Training Academy <br />and the National Fair Housing Policy Conference. The HUD Government Technical <br />Representative assigned to the Agency will monitor, and assist the Agency in <br />determining the appropriate staff and number of persons to attend training. <br />X. RESEARCH ACTIVITY <br />The parties agree that from time to time they jointly will undertake research in <br />housing discrimination and other forms of discrimination which may impact on <br />housing discrimination, as budgetary constraints permit. <br />XI. EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY <br />The Agency agrees to coordinate its educational activities with other <br />governmental and non-governmental entities that may be conducting fair housing <br />education and outreach projects in the Agency's jurisdiction (for example, other <br />jurisdictions that are administering substantially equivalent laws, or recipients of Fair <br />Housing Initiatives Program funding). <br />XII. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE <br />From time to time, the Agency agrees to accept technical assistance and on-site <br />performance review visits from HUD. The need for such reviews will be determined <br />by HLTD, but may be specifically requested by the Agency and coordinated by both the <br />Agency and HLTD. Failure to implement technical assistance provided by HUD will <br />have a negative effect on the Assistant Secretary's determination of continued <br />certification. Technical assistance will be provided on a regular or as needed basis. <br />XIII. COMPLAINT REPORTING REQUIREMENT <br />The Agency must use the Department's official complaint data information <br />system and must input all relevant data and information into the system in a timely <br />manner. If necessary, the Department will provide the required software and a fixed <br />financial contribution toward the Agency's purchase of hardware. The fixed <br />financial contribution will be defined in the Department's funding instrument, that is, <br />the FHAP cooperative agreement.
