Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016: Implementation of Various Section 8 Voucher Provisions
Document Number: 2017-00911
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2017-01-18
Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development
On July 29, 2016, President Obama signed into law the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA). Several of the statutory amendments made by HOTMA affect the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program or the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. HOTMA also gave HUD the authority to implement many of those changes by notice, and those statutory changes are not effective until HUD issues that notice. This document serves as the implementation notice for several of the provisions of HOTMA that impact the HCV and PBV programs, and seeks additional public input on both the implementing requirements in this document and future changes to these programs.
