fiscal year 1998 (public law 105–65,
enacted on October 27, 1997), required
that expiring Section 8 project-based
assistance contracts be renewed under
MAHRA. Established in the MAHRA
policies renewal of Section 8 projectbased contracts rent are based on market
rents instead of the Fair Market Rent
(FMR) standard.
MAHRA renewals submission should
include a Rent Comparability Study
(RCS). If the RCS indicated rents were
at or below comparable market rents,
the contract was renewed at current
rents adjusted by Operating Cost
Adjustment Factor (OCAF), unless the
Owner submitted documentation
justifying a budget-based rent increase
or participation in Mark-Up-To-Market.
The case is that no renewal rents could
exceed comparable market rents. If the
RCS indicated rents were above
comparable market rents, the contract
was referred to the Office of Affordable
Housing Preservation (OAHP) for debt
restructuring and/or rent reduction.
The Preserving Affordable Housing

21st Century Act of 1999 (public law
106–74, enacted on October 20, 1999),
modified MAHRA.

of Portfolio Reengineering
Demonstration or Preservation Projects,
and Option Six—Opt Outs.
