Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program Interjurisdictional Administration Page 14 of 15 If the host City does not have funding in a project, or if the host City’s funding in a project does not trigger an Environmental Review, the completion of an Environmental review shall be done by the PHA whose funding triggered the Environmental Review requirement. In the event a subsidy layering review (SLR) is necessary in accordance with the requirements of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) or to satisfy the requirements of section 102 (d) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (HUD Reform Act) and is performed by the Housing Credit Agency (HCA), the PHA with Project Based Vouchers in the project shall be responsible for the SLR requirements. If the host PHA has vouchers in the project, the review responsibility shall default to the host PHA. The issuing PHA shall collaborate with and provide general guidance as necessary to the host PHA. The host PHA, if responsible for the SLR, shall provide proof of SLR submission, along with a copy of the SLR, to issuing PHA within 3 business days of its submission to the Responsible Entity(ies). The allocation of responsibilities in the above paragraphs may be subordinate to a negotiated agreement made outside of this document. 3. AHAP/HAP Developer shall execute a separate AHAP as required, and HAP, for each participating PHA when two or more PHAs agree to issue project-based vouchers in an affordable housing project in a host PHAs jurisdiction. 4. Inspection Pre-HAP contract inspections of the completed contract units shall be completed by the host PHA in adherence to 24 CFR 983.103, the executed AHAP, when applicable, and the MOA . The host PHA must inform the issuing PHA within seven (7) calendar days whether the work has been completed in accordance with regulation, the AHAP and/or MOA. In the event the host PHA is unable to meet the established deadline, the host PHA will allow the issuing PHA to inspect the completed contract units in order to limit delays in development and no payment will be made to the host PHA. If the host PHA determines that work deficiencies exist, the host PHA shall notify the developer of the affordable housing project within seven (7) calendar days of the extent of the deficiencies and the requirements and procedures for correction of the contract units. Upon receipt of an inspection request for a turnover inspection or a Biennial inspection for contract units from an issuing PHA, the host PHA will complete the inspection and all related documentation, per 24 CFR 983.103 and FR Notice 6/25/14, within seven (7) calendar days of the date of the issuing PHA’s request. 5. Initial Rent Estimated initial rent to owner shall be established within a period consistent with the MOA by the host PHA. The initial contract rents for each unit shall not exceed the amount authorized per 24 CFR 983.301. The standards of the host PHA’s Payment Standards, Utility Allowances, Rent Reasonableness Standards, and HQS will apply. The Parties agree that the project developer shall maintain separate and distinct AHAP and HAP agreements for each participating PHA. 6. Tenant Selection The Parties agree that the awarded number of project-based vouchers from the awarding/issuing PHA is directly connected to a number of units within the project. To that end, the awarded project-based vouchers must remain available to the issuing PHA for use upon tenant turnover. EXHIBIT 1
