AFL - CIO Housing Investment Trust 24 The HIT’s union labor policy is designed to achieve the objective of facilitating employment for union members in the construction trades and related industries. The policy requires all on - site construction or rehabilitation work to be performed 100% union by contractors and subcontractors who are signatory with local unions having jurisdiction for work in the area. No project is financed until the local building and construction trades council ( BCTC ) has concurred with plans for achieving the labor policies for the project. The general contractor or construction manager (GC/CM) conducts a pre - job meeting with the BCTC to assure appropriate subcontractor assignments. Every borrower agrees to the HIT’s labor policies by signing a labor certification, assuring that the developer and GC/CM will adhere to the union requirements. HIT works with the local BCTC, GC/CM, and developer prior to an investment to assure that the labor policy will be met on any project under consideration. HIT is also available to help the BCTC and GC/CM identify signatory subcontractors. Once a project is underway, HIT continues to monitor the project and works with the local BCTC and GC/CM to help assure that construction proceeds timely and harmoniously . As of June 30, 2018
AFL - CIO Housing Investment Trust 25 The HIT maintains the integrity of its valuation process and assures the reliability of portfolio value by following a three - pronged approach that includes the use of independent third - party vendors ▪ Monthly valuation by independent pricing vendors - The HIT’s standing Valuation Committee , chaired by the CFO and composed of senior staff outside of the portfolio management team, monitors HIT’s valuation process including the reliability of pricing by independent sources, appropriateness of valuation methodologies, and when appropriate, determination of fair value under Board - approved policies and procedures - The Valuation Committee assesses the reliability of pricing at least twice during each monthly reporting period ▪ Quarterly valuation validation review by RSM US LLP ▪ Annual audit in which every asset as of year - end is valued by the HIT’s auditors Ernst & Young LLP As of June 30, 2018
