Summary: When owner distributions of surplus cash are limited or prohibited and when HUD determines that project funds are more than the amount needed for project operations, reserve requirements, and any permitted distributions, the excess income is typically required under the applicable new regulation and/or the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract to which the project is subject to be deposited into an interest-bearing account, often called the Residual Receipts account, to be used for project purposes.
This account (or accounts in cases where these monies are deposited in multiple accounts), however titled or designated, is referred to throughout HUD’s Notice as the “Residual Receipts” account. The contents of this account, however titled or designated, are referred to throughout HUD’s Notice as “Residual Receipts.” The new regulation and/or the various HAP contract forms used for new regulation projects explicitly permit HUD to use Residual Receipts to reduce housing assistance payments. (See 24 CFR §§ 880.205(e), 881.205(e), and 883.306(e)).
HUD’s Notice sets forth the policy and procedures for the Department’s use of new regulation Residual Receipts to offset HAP for projects subject to a new regulation Project-Based Section 8 HAP contract and outlines the obligations and duties of owners and the responsibilities of HUD Field staff in processing and monitoring the use of this project resource.

Summary: HUD issued proposed Fair Market Rents (FMRs). The proposed FY 2013 FMRs in HUD’s notice reflect several updates to the methodology used to calculate FMRs. First, HUD has updated the bedroom ratios used to calculate 0, 1, 3 and 4 bedroom FMRs based on the 2 bedroom
FMR. The new bedroom ratios are constructed using 2006–2010 5-year American Community Survey (ACS) data. The methodology for calculating the bedroom ratios is very similar to the method used when the bedroom ratios were based on 2000 decennial census long-form data. Second, these FMRs reflect a new trend factor calculation methodology which HUD stated would be implemented in its proposed FY 2012 FMR publication on August 19, 2011 (76 FR 52058). This trend factor is based on national gross rent data and will change annually. Comments are due on September 4, 2012.
FAIR MARKET RENT SURVEYS
Periodically HUD, or an authorized contractor, performs telephone or mail surveys of local housing markets to obtain current rental housing information in support of annual Fair Market Rent calculations. For questions concerning on-going surveys, please contact HUDUSER using the contact information found on the bottom of this page.
