Where low/moderate income benefit is based on job retention, the files must include the following documentation: o Evidence that jobs would be lost without COBG assistance. o A listing, by job title, of permanent jobs retained, indicating which of those jobs are part-time and (if known) which are held by low/moderate income persons at the time the assistance is provided. o Identification of any retained jobs not already held by low/moderate income persons which are projected to become available to low/moderate income persons through job turnover wi thin two years of the time COBG assistance is provided.
