    Jonathan Zimmerman February 22, 2012 08:32am EST

    Exceptions to Eligibility for HCV transfers. The Department will consider approving voluntary partial transfers only in the following cases: (1) the transfer is for the purpose of developing PBV units in an area of low poverty concentration; (2) the transfer is to a state or regional PHA; or (3) for a compelling business reason.

  • PIH Notice 2012-10:Verification of SSNs, SS and SSI Benefits; and Effective Use of the EIV System’s Identity Verification Report
    Jonathan Zimmerman February 21, 2012 09:04am EST

    Summary:  HUD's notice (PIH Notice 2012-10) explains the procedures public housing agencies (PHAs) are required to use for verifying social security numbers, social security benefits of applicants, participants and household members at the time of application for rental housing assistance programs and during mandatory reexamination of household income, as well as the procedures for effective use of EIV’s Identity Verification Report to reduce subsidy payment
    and administrative errors. Similar guidance was issued under notice PIH-2010-03. HUD's notice supersedes the aforementioned notice.

    HUD's notice also provides guidance related to the recent changes made to 24 CFR §5.216, 24 CFR §5.218, and new verification requirements at 24 CFR §5.233, in accordance with the Final Rule: Refinement of Income and Rent Determination in Public and Assisted Housing Programs: Implementation of the Enterprise Income Verification System-Amendments, effective January 31, 2010, as published at 74 FR 68924, on December 29, 2009. In accordance with the directions of the Office of the Federal Register, the December 29, 2009, final rule, because it is the later published rule, supersedes the January 27, 2009, final rule, which was also effective on January 31, 2010. Accordingly, only the regulatory amendments of the December 29, 2009, final rule are effective and applicable.

  • PIH Notice 2012-4: Effective Use of the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) System’s Deceased Tenants Report
    Jonathan Zimmerman February 01, 2012 10:10am EST

    Summary:  HUD’s notice explains the procedures PHAs are required to implement to deal with families with deceased household members. The implementation of the procedures outlined in this notice will ensure that PHAs successfully submit accurate data to HUD via the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) and that PHAs do not make subsidy overpayments on behalf of deceased single member households. Where overpayments have been made, the PHA will recoup the overpayment from the landlord/owner of the rental property under the programs noted in Section 2 of this notice, with the exception of the Public Housing program. HUD’s notice supersedes PIH Notices 2010-50 and 2010-09

    HUD's Notice applies to the following HUD-PIH rental assistance programs: Public Housing, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation, Project-Based Voucher, Project-Based Certificate; and Housing Choice Voucher programs.

  • PIH Notice 2012-3: Housing Choice Voucher – Homeownership Option 10 Year Asset Exclusion
    Jonathan Zimmerman February 01, 2012 10:07am EST

    Summary:  The purpose of HUD's Notice is to remind PHAs of the regulatory provision regarding how the value of a home purchased under the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) homeownership option (24 CFR 982 Subpart M) is treated for the purpose of determining the family’s annual income. The rule (24 CFR 5.603(b) Net Family Assets. (4)) exempts the home purchased with voucher assistance from being counted as an asset for the first 10 years after the closing date. HUD issued the final rule on September 12, 2000. PHAs and industry professionals need to be aware that the exemption terminates after a family’s 10th year of participation in the program. The Notice provides guidance on including the value of the home in “net family assets” starting in the eleventh year following the purchase of the home. The Notice also establishes safe harbors that a PHA may rely upon to determine the cash value of real estate purchased under the homeownership option.

  • PIH Notice 2012-1: Income Exclusion of Kinship, Kin-GAP and Other Guardianship Care Payments
    Jonathan Zimmerman January 09, 2012 09:03am EST

    Summary:   Kin-GAP payments are subsidies that go to, or on behalf of, children leaving the juvenile court system to live with a relative or legal guardian. Kinship care payments are foster care subsidies that go to, or on behalf of, children living with a relative or legal guardian.  HUD’s notice supersedes notices PIH-2008-30 and 2008-40 and clarifies the treatment of income received from Kinship Guardian Assistance Payments (Kin-GAP), kinship care payments, and other guardianship care payments pursuant to 24 CFR § 5.609(c)(2).   HUD’s notice applies to Public and Indian Housing (PIH) rental assistance programs including: Public Housing, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation, Housing Choice Voucher and Section 8 Project-Based Voucher and Certificate Programs.

    The Department determined that kinship care, Kin-GAP, and similar programs funded by states serve as an alternative to foster care placements and that the compensation to participating relatives or legal guardians is comparable to the compensation to foster care parents. Payments for the care of foster children (including foster adults) are exempt from income. Thus, during annual and/or interim reexamination of family income pursuant to 24 CFR § 960.257 for public housing and 24 CFR § 982.516 for Section 8 programs, kinship, Kin-GAP and similar state guardianship care payments are to be excluded from a household’s income under 24 CFR § 5.609(c)(2).  Additional information is provided in HUD’s notice regarding how Moving-to-Work agencies may treat these payments.

    Summary:  HUD's Notice (PIH Notice 2011-66) provides Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) with updated information on the most current extension of the DHAP- Ike program. Modifications have been made which will change the PHAs’ administration of the program. The information provided in this notice will supersede the guidance provided in the following notices: PIH 2008-38, PIH 2008-45, PIH 2010-22, and PIH 2011-35.

    HUD's Notice also sets forth amendments to the Extension Operating Requirements, which establish the policies and procedures for the October 2011 DHAP-Ike Extension, as authorized by Inter-Agency Agreement (IAA) Number HSFEHQ-08-X-1760, Modification 18.  The program was scheduled to end on September 30, 2011, but was extended for the final time with an absolute termination date no later than January 31, 2012. Any PHA that agrees to administer the DHAP-Ike Extension must do so in accordance with these extension requirements, the original DHAP-Ike operating requirements (originally established with
