Home Browse Search

A. Existing Housing For any applications for existing housing funded through this set-aside, the PHA must submit a PBV HAP contract (form HUD-52530B) to HUD Headquarters at VASH@hud.gov to verify available occupancy of at least one unit in the project within (a) 60 days of award announcement for projects selected prior to application or (b) 60 days after project selection for applicants with project selection after award announcement. The PHA must submit one HAP contract for every project selected. After the HAP contract is executed for at least one unit, the PHA may add units, up to the number of HUD-VASH PBV units requested under part 4(A)(iii)(a) or 4(B)(iii)(a), until 12 months after award announcement for projects selected prior to application or 12 months after project selection for applicants with project selection after award announcement. At the end of the 12-month deadline, any funds for units above the number of units included on the HAP contract will be rescinded. If a PHA plans to add units through this 12-month period, the PHA must send in a HAP contract 60 days after award announcement confirming that at least one unit is under contract and, 12 months after award announcement, an updated HAP contract reflecting the total number of units. All requested PBV units must be vacant at the time that the unit is added to the HAP contract. B. New Construction/Rehabilitation For any funded proposals for new construction or rehabilitation projects, regardless of whether the PHA applied with a particular project or prior to selecting a project, the PHA must sign an AHAP with the project owner for each project within 24 months of award announcement. 6. Threshold Factors: Threshold factors must be met in order for the application to be given further consideration. If the HUD-52515, or any of the threshold items listed below are incomplete or missing, they will be treated as a curable deficiency and HUD may contact an applicant to clarify or request the missing information. Applicants must provide the requested information, in accordance with HUD instructions, within 10 business days from the date of the request or the application will no longer be considered for funding under this notice. A. The application must include a signed letter of support from the Director of the VAMC or Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN). The letter from VA must confirm the need for the number of vouchers requested in the application. If a project has been selected prior to submission of application for this competition, the letter of support must be specific to the chosen project. If the PHA plans to select a project after award announcement, (1) the letter of support must be general and address the need for additional affordable housing in the PHA’s and VAMC’s jurisdiction and (2) the PHA must submit a letter of support from the Director of the VAMC or VISN specific to the selected project once the PHA selects the project. 7-8
