NAHRO Provides PHAs with Initial Estimates of 2012 Admin. Fee Rates at 100 Percent Eligibility

Submitted by Jonathan Zimmerman on January 17, 2012 03:05pm EST

In mid-January 2012, HUD notified PHAs of the Department’s estimated ongoing administrative fee pro-ration at 75 percent for the calendar year, which will be applied to all PHAs equally.  However, because 2012 ongoing administrative fee rates have not been published yet, PHAs are hard pressed to estimate their annual ongoing fee revenues as well as corresponding cuts.   NAHRO is providing members with initial estimates of each PHA’s 2012 ongoing administrative fee rates, which are not intended to replace HUD's official pending FY 2012 fee rate publication, but rather t

As previously notified by HUD, the Department expects to notify PHAs of their final 2012 Housing Assistance Payment allocations and offsets (if applicable) by mid-February 2012.  Operating voucher programs during the limbo period between January 1st and when PHAs receive their funding allocations and then put their voucher program operations into full gear, has hurt PHAs’ programs in the past.  One of the most important things PHAs can do is to avoid, if at all possible, an unnecessary drop in their voucher leasing between now and when they ultimately receive th
