Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments Program—Fiscal Year (FY)
2014 Inflation Factors for Public
Housing Agency (PHA) Renewal
Funding
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Policy Development and

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2014 requires that
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:06 Apr 25, 2014
Jkt 232001
HUD apply ‘‘an inflation factor as
established by the Secretary, by notice
published in the Federal Register’’ to
adjust FY 2014 renewal funding for the
Tenant-based Rental Assistance Program
or Housing Choice Voucher (HCV)
Program of each PHA. HUD began using
Renewal Funding Inflation Factors in
FY 2012. These Renewal Funding
Inflation Factors incorporate economic
indices to measure the expected change
in per unit costs (PUC) for the HCV
program. The methodology for FY 2014
is similar to that used in FY 2013.
DATES: Effective Date: April 28, 2014.

Michael S. Dennis, Director, Housing
Voucher Programs, Office of Public
Housing and Voucher Programs, Office
of Public and Indian Housing, telephone
number 202–708–1380; or, for technical
information regarding the development
of the schedules for specific areas or the
methods used for calculating the
inflation factors, Peter B. Kahn, Director,
Economic and Market Analysis

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Tables showing Renewal Funding
Inflation Factors will be available
electronically from the HUD data
information page at: https://
www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/rfif/
FY2014/FY2014_IF_Table.pdf.
Division L, Title II, Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2014 (Pub. L. 113–
76, approved January 17, 2014) requires
that the HUD Secretary, for the calendar
year 2014 funding cycle, provide
renewal funding for each public housing
agency (PHA) based on validated
voucher management system (VMS)
leasing and cost data for the prior
calendar year and by applying an
inflation factor as established by the
Secretary, by notice published in the
Federal Register. This notice provides
the FY 2014 inflation factors and
describes the methodology for
calculating them.
II. Methodology
The Department has focused on
measuring the change in average per
unit cost (PUC) as captured in HUD’s
administrative data in VMS. In order to
predict the likely path of PUC over time,
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
HUD has implemented a model that
uses three economic indices that
capture key components of the
economic climate and assist in
explaining the changes in PUC. These
economic components are the
seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate
(lagged twelve months), the Consumer
Price Index from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, and the ‘‘wages and salaries’’
component of personal income from the
National Income and Product Accounts
from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
This model subsequently forecasts the
expected annual change in average PUC
from Calendar Year (CY) 2013 to CY
2014 for the voucher program on a
national basis by incorporating
comparable economic variables from the
Administration’s economic
assumptions. For reference, these
economic assumptions are described in
the FY 2015 Budget.
The inflation factor for an individual
geographic area is based on the change
in the area’s Fair Market Rent (FMR) 1
between FY 2013 and FY 2014. These
changes in FMR are then scaled such
that the voucher-weighted average of all
individual area inflation factors is equal
to the expected annual change in
national PUC from FY 2013 to FY 2014,
and also such that no area has a factor
less than one. HUD subsequently
applies these calculated individual area
inflation factors to eligible renewal
funding for each PHA based on VMS
leasing and cost data for the prior
calendar year. For the CY 2014 PHA
HCV allocation uses 0.23 percent as the
annual change in PUC. This figure was
calculated by using VMS data through
December of 2013 and actual
performance of economic indices
through December of 2013.
III. The Use of Inflation Factors
The inflation factors have been
developed to account for relative
differences in the PUC of vouchers so
that HCV funds can be allocated among
PHAs. HUD will continue to update the
current model with available data in
order to assess the expected annual
change in PUC and may update the
methodology for future funding
estimates, if necessary. HUD is also
continuing to review and refine the
methodology, especially for area
differences in the factors, which will be
described in future inflation factor
notices.
1 Most FMRs are set at the 40th percentile of the
distribution of gross rents in the area. Several FMR
areas have their FMRs based on 50th percentile
rents as a tool for deconcentrating voucher holders
within the FMR area. For consistency, changes in
rents from FY 2013 to FY 2014 are measured using
40th percentile rents for all areas.
