construction contract only if it can
demonstrate to HUD’s satisfaction that
its bid is the lowest bid submitted in
response to a public request for bids.’’
Granted by: Sandra B. Henriquez,
Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: February 29, 2012.
Reason Waived: The Housing
Authority of the City of Tuscaloosa
submitted an independent cost estimate.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161.
Project/Activity: The Housing
Authority of the City of Los Angeles
(HACLA) requested, on July 21, 2011, a
waiver to allow Commissioner Margarita
Garr to continue to serve on their Board.
She had served on the Board since 2008,
but a potential conflict arose because
she had also been employed by banks
that do business with HACLA.
Nature of Requirement: HUD’s
regulation at 24 CFR 982.161 provides
that neither a public housing agency
(PHA) nor any of its contractors or
subcontractors may enter into any
contract or arrangement in connection
with a PHA’s tenant-based programs in
which persons specified in the
regulation have an interest, direct or
indirect, during the tenure of the
contract or one year thereafter. With
respect to HACLA, HUD determined
that there was a potential conflict
because 24 CFR 982.161 and Section 19
of the Annual Contributions Contract
(ACC), which prevents PHAs from
entering into any contract in which a
member of their governing board has a
direct or indirect interest.
Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez,
Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: March 7, 2012.
Reason Waived: Because of the
conflict between the regulation and the
ACC, HUD determined that good cause
existed to grant the waiver request.

HUD to consider a public housing
agency’s request for approval to
establish a payment standard that is
lower than the basic range of 90 to 110
percent of the published fair market rent
for each/any bedroom size, but HUD
will not approve such payment standard
amounts if the family share for more
than 40 percent of voucher participants
exceeds 30 percent of monthly adjusted
income. 24 CFR 982.505(c)(3) states
that, if the amount on the payment
standard schedule is decreased during
the term of the housing assistance
payments (HAP) contract, the lower
payment standard amount generally
must be used to calculate the monthly
HAP for the family beginning on the
effective date of the family’s second
regular reexamination following the
effective date of the decrease.
Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez,
Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: March 9, 2012.
Reason Waived: This waiver was
granted because these cost-saving
measures would enable the DCHA to
manage its Housing Choice Voucher
program within allocated budget
authority and avoid the termination of
HAP contracts due to insufficient
funding.

Housing Voucher Management and
Operations Division, Office of Public
Housing and Voucher Programs, Office

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(3).
Project/Activity: Boonville Housing
Authority (BHA), Boonville, NY.
Nature of Requirement: HUD’s
regulation at 24 CFR 982.505(c)(3) states
that, if the amount on the payment
standard schedule is decreased during
the term of the housing assistance
payments (HAP) contract, the lower
payment standard amount generally
must be used to calculate the monthly
HAP for the family beginning on the
effective date of the family’s second
regular reexamination following the
effective date of the decrease.
Granted By: Sandra B. Henriquez,
Assistant Secretary for Public and
Indian Housing.
Date Granted: January 30, 2012.
Reason Waived: This waiver was
granted because this cost-saving
measure would enable the BHA to
manage its Housing Choice Voucher
program within allocated budget
authority and avoid the termination of
HAP contracts due to insufficient
funding.
