Administrative Plan 4/1/2016 Page 17-20 At the PHA’s discretion and subject to all PBV requirements, the HAP contract may be amended to substitute a different unit with the same number of bedrooms in the same project for a previously covered contract unit. Before any such substitution can take place, SAHA must inspect the proposed unit and determine the reasonable rent for the unit. Addition of Contract Units [24 CFR 983.207(b)] At the PHA’s discretion and subject to the restrictions on the number of dwelling units that can receive PBV assistance per project and on the overall size of the PHA’s PBV program, a HAP contract may be amended during the three-year period following the execution date of the HAP contract to add additional PBV units in the same project. This type of amendment is subject to all PBV program requirements except that a new PBV proposal is not required. SAHA Policy SAHA will consider adding contract units to the HAP contract when SAHA determines that additional housing is needed to serve eligible low-income families. 17-V.D. HAP CONTRACT YEAR, ANNIVERSARY AND EXPIRATION DATES [24 CFR 983.207(b) and 983.302(e)] The HAP contract year is the period of 12 calendar months preceding each annual anniversary of the HAP contract during the HAP contract term. The initial contract year is calculated from the first day of the first calendar month of the HAP contract term. The annual anniversary of the HAP contract is the first day of the first calendar month after the end of the preceding contract year. There is a single annual anniversary and expiration date for all units under a particular HAP contract, even in cases where contract units are placed under the HAP contract in stages (on different dates) or units are added by amendment. The anniversary and expiration dates for all units coincide with the dates for the contract units that were originally placed under contract. 17-V.E. OWNER RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE HAP [24 CFR 983.210] When the owner executes the HAP contract s/he certifies that at such execution and at all times during the term of the HAP contract: • All contract units are in good condition and the owner is maintaining the premises and contract units in accordance with HQS; • The owner is providing all services, maintenance, equipment and utilities as agreed to under the HAP contract and the leases; • Each contract unit for which the owner is receiving HAP, is leased to an eligible family referred by SAHA, and the lease is in accordance with the HAP contract and HUD requirements; • To the best of the owner’s knowledge the family resides in the contract unit for which the owner is receiving HAP, and the unit is the family’s only residence; 3-408
