We expect contract Authority in the amount of $ 147,600 to be made available for your agency to provide assistance for approximately 20 units based on the Fair Market Rent for a 2-bedroom unit - in your jurisdiction. The actual number of units is dependent on the unit distribution you propose, which should be consistent with the applicable Housing Assistance Plan(s) in your jurisdiction. The contract authority consumed by your proposed unit distribution should not exceed the amount indicated above. Unlike previous fiscal years, the amount of contract authority for which you apply should be calculated by multiplying each unit by 12 times 95% (instead of 100%) of the appropriate Fair Market Rent. This procedural change is for fund reservation purposes only and does not change outstanding policy with regard to approval of contract rents. Pursuant to the 1988 McKinney amendments, a public housing agency may, at its sole discretion, revise its tenant selection policy to provide top priority for issuing Section 8 Certificates to families in Rental Rehabilitation Projects (RRP) with incomes between 50% and 80% of median income who are not being.physically displaced, but whose rent would be more than 30% of adjusted family income as a result of rehabilitation. This class of family is not eligible for Housing Vouchers. The Administrative Plan should reflect this modification to the tenant selection policy should the public housing agency choose to exercise this option. HUD is required by Section 213(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to provide the unit of general local government an opportunity to object to our approval of an application for housing assistance on the grounds that the application is inconsistent with the local Housing Assistance Plan. To avoid any delay in HUD approval of the PHA application, you should encourage the Chief Executive Officer to submit a Section 213 letter with the PHA application. The Section 213 letter should not only indicate that approval of the application for the Section 8 Existing Housing Program is consistent with the community's Housing Assistance Plan, but that the letter should be considered as the final comments and that no additional comments will be submitted by the unit of local government. If your specific locality is covered by a County HAP, you must provide comments from the Chief Executive Officer of the County and the Chief Executive 2 0 icer 0 t e oca ity amilies to be assisted wi be drawn. 2 Your application package must contain the following: 1.
