U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT <br />IIIIIIII Q 4,. WASHINGTON, DC 20410-5000 <br />OFFICE OF PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING <br />Dear Executive Director <br />Subject: Initial Administrative Fee Allocation from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and <br />Economic Security Act (CARES Act). <br />The Office of Housing Voucher Programs (OHVP) has allocated the initial administrative <br />fee funding per the CARES Act (Public Law 116-136) to public housing agencies (PHAs) <br />administering the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program and/or the Mainstream Program. <br />PHAs must use these funds to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus (COVID-19), per <br />guidance provided in PIHNotice 2020-08: CARESAct—HCVProgram Administrative Fees. <br />https://www.hud.gov/program offices/public_indian housing/publications/notices <br />This initial administrative fee award provided to each agency through the CARES Act is <br />described in the attached Enclosure A. The calculation determined the monthly average <br />administrative fees based on the PHAs reconciled calendar year (CY) 2018 and 2019 eligibilities, <br />divided by 12 months, then multiplied by 2. HUD will provide separate guidance on the <br />allocation of the remaining CARES Act administrative fee funds. Additionally, it is anticipated <br />that a notice describing the allocation criteria and methodology for the Housing Assistance <br />Payments (HAP) portion of the CARES Act will be posted in June 2020. <br />Finally, the OHVP guidance regarding the tracking and reporting of the CARES Act <br />funding is forthcoming. In the meantime, PHAs must follow the preliminary guidance provided <br />in section 7. Reporting Requirements, of PIH Notice 2020-08. <br />Please direct any questions concerning this allocation to contact your Financial Analyst at <br />the Financial Management Center. <br />Thank you for your continued participation in the HCV and/or Mainstream Programs to <br />serve the needs of your community during this critical time. <br />Enclosure <br />Sincerely, <br />I' Dg�kM'uA,aaFenanee. <br />Miguel A.
