Administrative Plan 5/1/21 <br /> Page TSP-3 <br />PART I: FUNDING <br />TPS-I.A. FUNDING OVERVIEW <br />The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP) provides administrative fees and funding for the <br />costs of administering emergency housing vouchers (EHVs) and other eligible expenses defined <br />in Notice PIH 2021-15. These fees may only be used for EHV administration and other eligible <br />expenses and must not be used for or applied to other PHA programs or vouchers. The PHA <br />must maintain separate financial records from its regular HCV funding for all EHV funding. <br />Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Funding <br />ARP funding obligated to the PHA as housing assistance payments (HAP) funding may only be <br />used for eligible EHV HAP expenses (i.e., rental assistance payments). EHV HAP funding may <br />not be used for EHV administrative expenses or for the eligible uses under the EHV services fee. <br />The initial funding term will expire December 31, 2022. HUD will provide renewal funding to <br />the PHA for the EHVs on a calendar year (CY) basis commencing with CY 2023. The renewal <br />funding allocation will be based on the PHA’s actual EHV HAP costs in leasing, similar to the <br />renewal process for the regular HCV program. EHV renewal funding is not part of the annual <br />HCV renewal funding formula; EHVs are renewed separately from the regular HCV program. <br />All renewal funding for the duration of the EHV program has been appropriated as part of the <br />ARP funding. <br />Administrative Fee and Funding <br />The following four types of fees and funding are allocated as part of the EHV program: <br /> Preliminary fees support immediate start-up costs that the PHA will incur in implementing <br />alternative requirements under EHV, such as outreach and coordination with partnering <br />agencies: <br />- $400 per EHV allocated to the PHA, once the consolidated annual contributions contract <br />(CACC) is amended. <br />- This fee may be used for any eligible administrative expenses related to EHVs. <br />- The fee may also be used to pay for any eligible activities under EHV service fees (TPS- <br />I.B). <br />EXHIBIT 3
