ITEM EXPLANATION: On June 11, 1990, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) inviting applications to compete for additional Section 8 Housing Certificates/Vouchers. Funds in the amount of $17,146,149 for 416 Certificates/ Vouchers are expected to be made available to Housing Authorities in San Diego County to provide assistance to low income families. Housing Authorities are restricted to applying for 10% of their present allotment or 50 units, which ever is greater. In contrast to past invitations to apply, this selection will be based on competition. Currently, the City's Housing Authority subsidizes rents for 358 low-income families under the Section 8 Program. If the application is accepted by HUD, the total number of subsidized households could increase to 408 Certificates/ Vouchers. FISCAL IMPACT: The City could receive additional federal housing funding for up to fifty (50) more Certificates/Vouchers.

Rental RehabAtation Program Obligations (a) Fir lower income families living in units rehabilitated under the Rental Rehabilitation Program (24 CFR par? 5?1], section 8(u) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 requires that: (I) Certificates or housingLouchers shall be made available for families who are required to move out of their units because of physical rehabilitation activities or because of overcrowding: (2) At the discretion of the PHA, cerZFica!es or housing vouchers may be made available for families who would have to pay more than 30 percent of adjusted income for rent after ‘. rehabili!ation whether they choose to remain in or move from the project; and (31 l-!LTL) shall allocate certificates or housing vouchers to ensure that aufficiezt resources are available to address the physical or economic displacement or pqtential economic displacement of tenants living ii rental rehabilitation projects. (b) Tne HUD-Independent Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Yeari (pub. L 101-144. approved November 9, 1989) reqluires that highest priority for fncremental housing vouchers shall be given to families who, as a result of rental rehabilitation actions, are involuntarily displaced or are or woald be displaced as a consequence of increased rents (i.e., rent burden exceeds 35 percent of adjusted income). (c) Determining Rental Rehobilitotr’on Assistance Needed In determining the minimum number of certificates or housing vouchers ‘to allocate to a PHA. ’ Field Office staff must first determine the total number of c.ertificates and housing vouchers needed during Fiscal -Year 19%) for families affected by rental rehabilitation activities and the amount of such housing assistance available to the PHA withqut additional funding. In reviewing the amount of assistance available to a PHA for rental rehabilitation families, the Field Office staff must make certain that the PHA hqs enough certificates for lower income families who are affected by rental rehabilitation activities, but who are not eligible for housing vouchers. The Field Office will determine the minimum amount of assistance to be’provided to a PHA during Fiscal Year 1990 as follows: (1) Identrfy the rental rehabilitation. projects to be completed by December 1990 and identify the number of eligible families liv’mg in the projects that will be physically displaced (i.e.,.forced to vacate a wit because of physical construction, housing overcrowding, or a change in use of the unit as a iesult of : rental rehabilitation activities) or lvhose rerit would be more than 30 p&cent of income as a result of rental rehabi!itation activities. Fami!ies whose incomes are between 53 percent and 80 percent of median income and whose rent after rehabi!itation would be more than 30 percent of their adjusted income, but who are not physically displaced, are ineligible for housing vouchers. Because certificates must be made available tb these lower income families; these families should also be identified. (2) Fro? the number of eligiblk families affected by rental rehabilitation activities, subtract the number of housing vouchers and certif?cates under ACC, but not issued to families. Do not include any special allocations of certificateb’and housing vouchers’which were provided by HUD to be used for special purpos& such as optoats, renewals, or desegregation of public housing projects. (3) From the amount determined in ’ paragraph (2). above, subtract the number of certificates and housing ” vouchers that are expected to turn over (i.e., those housing voucher9 or certificates,that are expec!ed to be available for reissuance) during Fiscal’ Year 1990. The number of certificates approved by I-IUD for use in connection with project-baaed assistance should - also be subtracted. 1 (4) The remainder. compu?ed in accordance with the above, equals.& minimum number of housing vouchers or certificates to be made available to the PHA d@g Fiscal Year 1990. 6. bvitation for PHA Applications AI1 PH.4s are invited by-this notice to submit applications for the Housing Voucher Program (24 CFKpart 837) and the Certificate Program (24 CFR part 882). PH.4 applications must be submitted to the local Field Office on Form m>52%5 in accordance with the, applicab1.e program regulations. The PHA application must identify the, number of housing vouchers and certificates requested for families living in rental rehabiIitation projects, operation bootstrap,’ the homeless; or other uses and include an explanation of hew the application meets, or will meet, the application selection criteria. The exhibit published at the end of this notice lists the alloc$ion areas and the 1 Operation bootstrap ire local pro&~ coordhetlng certificates and kouehg vouchen’wkb public end private nnourcw to enable femilier to achieve economic independence [see ~4 FR w?B. ;un014.1989]. ‘. nmnber of units and budget a&&odty avai!able for each allocation area. PH.48 should limit their applcations to a reasonable number of ce&ficates and : housing vouchers based on the capacity of the Pm to Iease all of the units within 12 months of ACC execution. The number of units on the PHA application should not exceed the greater of: (a) ten (IO) percent of the total housing vouchers and certificates under ACC for the PHA; or (b] 50 units. An application may exceed this limit only if the PH& cannot, within this limit, meet the needs of families affected by rental rehabilitation activities under paragraph a.(d)(z). . Cetifica~on Regarding Drug-Free Workplaca :_. The &g-Free Workilack Act of 1988 requires grantees of Federal agencies to certify that they will provide drug-free workplaces. Thus, each PHA must f certify that it will comply w@ the dr@ free workplace requirements in .. accordance with 24 CFR part 24, subpart F. (There is no standard form for this certification.) . - Certification Regarding Lobbyhzg Section 319 of the Department of the Intedor Appropriations Act, Public Law 101-121, approved October 23,3989, (31 U.S.C. 1352) generally prohibita . recipients of Federal contracts, grants, and loans from tising appropriated funds for lobbying the Ejtecutive or Legislative Branches of the.Federal Govebent in connection with a specific contract, grant, or loan. G-n February 2% lti, at 65 FR 6736, the Department and other affected Federal agencies published an ’ interim final ruIe to impIement secdcn 319. The Department’s regulaiions on these new restrictions on lobbying are codified at 24 CFR part 87 (see 55 FR at 6750). To comply with 24 CFR 87.110 (see 55 FR at 6739), any PHA applying under this NOFA for more than $100,000 of assist&e must submit the certification set out in appendix A of part 87 (see 55 FR at 6743) and. if required by part 87, must submit the disclosure form set iiut.in appendix B of part 87 (see 55 FR at 6745). Substantial penalties may be imposed for failure to file the required certific$ion or ‘disclosure (see’s 87.$00,55 FR at 67&j.
