except as otherwise provided in section 700.160.
    (c) Monitoring of project sites by governmental units. States,

and procedures, in such manner as prescribed by HUD or RHS.
    (d) Reports. Each grantee shall submit program and fiscal reports 
and program budgets to the Secretary concerned in such form and at such 
times, as the Secretary concerned requires.
    (e) Enforcement. The Secretary concerned will enforce the 
obligations of the grantee under the agreement through such action as 
may be necessary, including terminating grants, recapturing grant funds, 
and imposing sanctions.
    (1) These actions may be taken for:
    (i) A grantee's non-compliance with the grant agreement or HUD or

    (ii) Failure of the grantee to provide supportive services within 12 
months of execution of the grant agreement.
    (2) Sanctions include but are not limited to the following:
    (i) Temporary withholding of reimbursements or extensions or 
renewals under the grant agreement, pending correction of deficiencies 
by the grantee;
    (ii) Setting conditions in the contract;
    (iii) Termination of the grant;
    (iv) Substitution of grantee; and
    (v) Any other action deemed necessary by the Secretary concerned.
    (f) Renewal of grants. Subject to the availability of funding, 
satisfactory performance, and compliance with the regulations in this 
part:
    (1) Grantees funded initially under this part shall be eligible to 
receive continued, non-competitive renewals after the initial five-year 
term of the grant.
    (2) Grantees will receive priority funding and grants will be 
renewed within time periods prescribed by the Secretary concerned.
    (g) Use of Grant Funds. If during any year, grantees use less than 
the annual amount of CHSP funds provided to them for that year, the 
excess amount can be carried forward for use in later years.
