• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d).
Project/Activity: Bangor Housing Authority
(BHA), Bangor, ME.
Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation
at 24 CFR 982.505(d) states that a public
housing agency may only approve a higher
payment standard for a family as a reasonable
accommodation if the higher payment
standard is within the basic range of 90 to
110 percent of the fair market rent (FMR) for
the unit size.
Granted By: Lourdes Castro Ramirez,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: March 27, 2015.
Reason Waived: The applicant, who is a
person with disabilities, required an
exception payment standard to rent her
manufactured home space for her mobile
home. To provide this reasonable
accommodation so that the client could
remain in her current unit and pay no more
than 40 percent of her adjusted income
toward the family share, BHA was allowed to
approve an exception payment standard that
exceeded the basic range of 90 to 110 percent
of the FMR.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.53(a)(2).
Project/Activity: Hall County Housing
Authority (HCHA), Grand Island, NE.
Nature of Requirement: This regulation
states that the public housing agency may not
attach or pay project-based voucher
assistance for units on the grounds of a penal,
reformatory, medical, mental or similar
public or private institutions.
Granted By: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing.
Date Granted: February 11, 2015.
Reason Waived: The project is part of the
Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Burr Initiative in
which public and private developers bid on
vacant VA land for housing development
geared towards Veterans. The project will
offer veterans supportive services including
case management, substance abuse
counseling, and other services to promote
self-sufficiency. By housing additional
homeless veterans, the HCHA will be
assisting the Department in obtaining the
goal of ending Veteran homelessness by the
end of 2015.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 985.101(a).
Project/Activity: Bellevue Housing
Authority (BHA), Omaha, NE.
Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation
at 24 CFR 985.101(a) states a PHA must
submit the HUD-required Section Eight
Management Assessment Program (SEMAP)
certification form within 60 calendar days
after the end of its fiscal year.
Granted By: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting
Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing.
Date Granted: February 12, 2015.
Reason Waived: This waiver was granted
because for its fiscal year ending June 30,
2014, the BHA was required to submit a
SEMAP certification because it no longer had
less than 250 vouchers. However, the BHA
was mistakenly notified by the HUD Field
Office on August 5, 2014, that is was not
required to submit a SEMAP certification.
BHA was permitted to submit its SEMAP
certification after the due date.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 985.101(a).
Project/Activity: Chesapeake
Redevelopment and Housing Authority
(CRHA), Chesapeake, VA.
Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation
at 24 CFR 985.101(a) states a PHA must
submit the HUD-required Section Eight
Management Assessment Program (SEMAP)
certification form within 60 calendar days
after the end of its fiscal year.
Granted By: Lourdes Castro Ramirez,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: March 27, 2015.
Reason Waived: The CRHA’s Board of
Commissioners was unable to meet to
approve the SEMAP certification prior to its
due date of February 29, 2015, because of
severe weather. The board meets on the
fourth Wednesday of each month. On the
fourth Wednesday of February evening
activities were cancelled due to a snow
storm. CRHA was permitted to submit its
SEMAP certification after the due date.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 985.101(a).
Project/Activity: Franklin Township
Housing Authority (FTHA), Somerset, NJ. e,
VA.
Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation

Granted By: Lourdes Castro Ramirez,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: March 27, 2015.
Reason Waived: FTHA is a small
deregulated PHA with 230 voucher units.
FTHA submitted its last SEMAP certification
for its fiscal year ending September 30, 2013,
when small PHAs were not required to
submit a biennial certification. Its
designation for that period was high
performer. However, all PHAs (including
small PHAs) were required to submit SEMAP
certifications for the period ending
September 30, 2014. Since FTHA had
submitted its certification the year before,
there was confusion regarding these
submission requirements and the
certification was not submitted for the period
ending September 30, 2014. FTHA was
permitted to submit its SEMAP certification
after the due date.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 985.101(a).
Project/Activity: Garden State Episcopal
Community Development Corporation
(GSECDC), Jersey City, NJ.
Nature of Requirement: HUD’s regulation
at 24 CFR 985.101(a) states a PHA must
submit the HUD-required Section Eight
Management Assessment Program (SEMAP)
certification form within 60 calendar days
after the end of its fiscal year.
Granted By: Lourdes Castro Ramirez,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: March 27, 2015.
Reason Waived: This waiver was granted
since the SEMAP certification could not be
submitted due to an issue with the
Information Management System/Public and
Indian Housing Information Center (IMS/PIC)
when information for the GSECDC was
updated. GSECDC was permitted to submit
its SEMAP certification after the due date.
