Site Selection Standards
Project-based voucher assistance at a selected site will be consistent with the goal of
deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities consistent with
24CFR Part 983. The site will be suitable for facilitating and furthering compliance with all
Civil Rights and Section 504 regulations. The site will also meet HQS site standards.
Award of Project-based Voucher Assistance Contracts
The PHA shall give prompt written notice of such selection to the party that submitted the
proposal and prompt public notice of such selection.
HAP Contract Amendments
At the discretion of the PHA and provided that the 25 percent cap and 20 percent of authorized
budget authority are not exceeded, a HAP contract may be amended during the three-year period
immediately following the execution date of the HAP contract to add additional PBV contract
units in the same project and/or substitute a different unit with the same number of bedrooms in
the same project for a previously covered contract unit. The amendment is subject to all PBV
requirements, including compliance with HQS and determination of rent reasonableness, except
that a new PBV RFP is not required. The anniversary and expiration dates of the HAP contract
for the additional units must be the same as the anniversary and expiration dates of the HAP
contract term for the PBV units originally placed under HAP contract.
Even if contract units are placed under the HAP contract in stages commencing on different
dates, there is a single annual anniversary for all contract units under the HAP contract.
New Construction and/or Rehabilitated Units
If the PHA chooses to select a project for rental assistance through the PBV program that
includes newly constructed or rehabilitated housing, the PHA will comply with Federal
regulations included in 24 CFR 983 Subpart D, Requirements for Rehabilitated and Newly
Constructed Units.
