<br />Space Rent <br />The space rent is the sum of the rent to the owner for the manufactured home space, any charges <br />for maintenance and management provided by the owner, and the utility allowance for tenant- <br />paid utilities. <br />Housing Assistance Payment <br />The HAP for a manufactured home space under the housing choice voucher program is the lower <br />of the payment standard minus the TTP or the (gross) manufactured home space rent minus the <br />TTP. <br />Rent Reasonableness <br />Initially, and annually thereafter the PHA must determine that the rent for the manufactured <br />home space is reasonable based on rents for comparable manufactured home spaces. The PHA <br />must consider the location and size of the space, and any services and maintenance to be <br />provided by the owner. By accepting the monthly HAP check, the owner certifies that the rent <br />does not exceed rents charged by the owner for comparable unassisted spaces in the <br />manufactured home park or elsewhere. <br />15-VI.D.

A family assisted under this option may be newly admitted <br />or an existing participant in the HCV program. The PHA must have the capacity to operate a <br />successful HCV homeownership program as defined by the regulations. <br />There are two forms of homeownership assistance a PHA may offer under this option: monthly <br />homeownership assistance payments, or a single down payment assistance grant. PHAs may <br />choose to offer either or both forms of homeownership assistance, or choose not to offer either. If <br />a PHA offers both forms of assistance, a family must choose which form of assistance to receive. <br />The PHA must offer either form of homeownership assistance if needed as a reasonable <br />accommodation so that the program is readily accessible to and usable by persons with <br />Page 15-9 <br />04/01/14 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
