Department of Housing and Urban Development August 23, 2017 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This notice addresses the increase in the number of public housing units that may be awarded competitively under HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). It serves as notification to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) that have submitted Letters of Interest (LOI) to reserve their position on the RAD waiting list that they are eligible for award under this expansion if they submit a complete RAD Application, Portfolio Award, or Multi-phase Award for the number of units identified in their LOI within 60 days of the publication of this notice. Awards are subject to existing eligibility and selection criteria; HUD is not changing such criteria with this notice. For CHAPs issued beyond the 185,000- unit cap (i.e., between 185,001 and 225,000 units), and for any replacement awards made as a result of revocations or withdrawals that occur after May 5, 2017, HUD will use rent levels based on FY 2016 public housing funding levels (FY16 RAD rent base year). Finally, for all existing and future Multi-phase Awards, this notice modifies the latest possible date for PHAs to submit an application for the final phase of the project covered by the Multi-phase Award to September 30, 2020.
