  • HUD’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 NOFA for the Self-Help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) Technical Correction and Extension
    Jonathan Zimmerman March 22, 2011 08:59am EDT

    HUD announced the availability on http://www.Grants.gov and its website at http://www.hud.gov/ offices/adm/grants/nofa10/grpshop.cfm a technical correction to the FY 2010 NOFA for the Self-Help homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP).  HUD's notice corrects the Threshold Requirement in the NOFA to make clear that a SHOP applicant and its affiliates must qualify as eligible public or private nonprofit organizations under federal or state law. HUD's Notice also corrects sections in the NOFA that relate to this threshold requirement.  HUD's notice also makes applicants aware of a correction to the eLogic Model form HUD 96010 SHOP V12.3 012811. The coding in the form originally posted did not allow the macros to function properly. The coding has been corrected and the corrected HUD 96010 SHOP V12.3 030311 form is contained in the Instructions Download.  Applicants that have already submitted an application using an earlier version of the eLogic Model, should pull a new Logic Model from the instructions download, complete a new eLogic Model, attach the new Logic Model to their application, and resubmit the application. The Technical Correction also extends the deadline date for the Self-Help homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) NOFA until April 18, 2011.

  • Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program—Contract Rent Annual Adjustment Factors (AAFs), Fiscal Year 2011
    Jonathan Zimmerman March 16, 2011 04:58pm EDT

    Summary:  The United States Housing Act of 1937 requires that assistance contracts signed by owners participating in the Department’s Section 8 housing assistance payment programs provide annual adjustment to monthly rentals for units covered by the contract. HUD's Notice announces revised Contract Rent AAFs for adjustment of contract rents on assistance contract anniversaries.  The factors are based on a formula using residential rent and utility cost changes from the most current annual Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index (CPI) survey. These factors are applied at Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract anniversaries for those calendar months commencing after the effective date of this Notice. HUD will publish ‘‘Renewal Funding AAFs,’’ in a separate Notice, to be used exclusively for renewal funding of tenant-based rental assistance, if so required in the fiscal year (FY) 2011 HUD Budget.

  • Interim Rule: Public Housing Evaluation and Oversight- PHAS and Determining and Remedying Substantial Default
    Tamar Greenspan February 22, 2011 01:04pm EST

    Publication Date: February 23, 2011

    Summary: The changes implemented by this interim rule are intended to enhance the efficiency and utility of HUD’s Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS). The interim rule makes 2 sets of amendments to improve evaluation and oversight of the Public Housing Program. First, it amends the PHAS regulations for the purposes of: consolidating the regulations governing assessment of public housing in one part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); revising certain PHAS regulations based on HUD’s experience with PHAS since it was established as the new system for evaluating a public housing agency (PHA) in 1998; and updating certain PHAS procedures to reflect recent changes in public housing operations from conversion by PHAs to asset management. Second, this interim rule establishes new regulations that specify the actions or inactions by which a PHA can be determined to be in substantial default, the procedures for a PHA to respond to such a determination or finding, and the sanctions available to HUD to address and remedy substantial default by a PHA.

    Comment Due Date: April 25, 2011.
