Chapter 13 – Special Programs D. TRANSFERS WITHIN THE MOD REHAB PROGRAM If SDHC determines a unit is overcrowded or under-occupied due to a change in the family size, the family must move to a suitable sized unit. The participant will be placed on the Mandatory Mod Rehab Transfer List. The family will receive three referrals to an appropriately sized Mod Rehab unit. If the participant fails to apply to any of the referred units, the participant’s eligibility for the Mod Rehab program will be terminated. Note: There is no assurance that another unit will be available or that the owner will select the family. E. FAMILIES HOLDING A VOUCHER Families holding a Voucher may apply for the Mod Rehab Program. The family will be required to voluntarily surrender their Voucher and terminate their Section 8 eligibility prior to occupying a Mod Rehab unit. F. VACANCY LOSS AND CLAIMS 1. Vacancy Loss The owner must notify SDHC of any units that will be vacant and the anticipated effective date. SDHC will notify the next 20 applicants on the Section 8 Waiting List. The owner may submit a claim for vacancy loss to the Claims Coordinator if the owner: - Has complied with the requirements of notifying SDHC of a vacancy; and - Has taken and continues to take all feasible actions to fill the vacancy; and - Has not rejected any eligible applicant except for cause acceptable to SDHC. The owner may be entitled to payment of up to 80% of the Contract Rent for the unit. The Claims Coordinator is responsible for weighing the factors involved in determining the owner’s eligibility for vacancy loss. If the owner’s claims comply with the guidelines, SDHC will process it for payment. The owner has up to three (3) months from the move-out date, to submit a claim for vacancy loss. 2. Damage Claims An owner must notify the Claims Coordinator within two working days of the tenant’s move-out date to request a Move-Out Inspection. The owner may be entitled to a maximum damage claim of two months contract rent minus the security deposit. Within 60 days from the Move-Out Inspection the owner must complete and return the application with itemized receipts. The Claims Coordinator is responsible for weighing the factors involved, reviewing the receipts and damages and conducting the Move-Out Inspection. If the owner is entitled to a damage claim, the Claims Coordinator will process it for payment. 13-2
Chapter 13 – Special Programs SECTION 2: MOVING FORWARD - PROJECT BASED UNITS A. INTRODUCTION Utilizing the flexibility the Moving to Work (MTW) program provides, SDHC intends to establish a Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Program that will serve the needs of San Diego’s low-income residents who are in need of housing while also serving the needs of the community. Under MTW, SDHC intends to: - Collaborate with local developers and non-profit housing providers by creating long-term subsidies by means of project-based vouchers, in exchange for the creation of affordable housing for lowincome families and individuals and transitional housing for homeless families and individuals. - Increase the range of options available to low-income households living in high-poverty areas. - Designate up to 3% of SDHC’s voucher allocation to project-based developments - Expand the use of project-based vouchers by increasing the permissible percentage of subsidized units in a single development. SDHC will allow more than 25% of the units in a development to be project-based when this will result in the preservation and/or development of affordable housing and does not result in an increased concentration of low-income families. - Utilize project-based vouchers within SDHC-owned properties. The utilization of project-based vouchers is intended to allow additional affordable units to be produced by leveraging cash flow. - In conjunction with HUD's Neighborhood Stabilization Program, SDHC may apply creative measures utilizing Project-based vouchers to increase housing opportunities in vacant and foreclosed properties in impacted areas of the community. - Allow for project-specific waiting lists maintained by the owners or non-profit providers in compliance with agency standards. - Allow project-based rents to exceed tax-credit rents. - Goals and Objectives. B. PROJECT-BASED VOUCHER POLICY FOR MOVING FORWARD UNITS 1. Annual Review of Project-Based Voucher Program SDHC shall review its portfolio of available vouchers each year to establish priorities for the projectbased voucher program for the upcoming year and determine the number of vouchers to be issued. SDHC shall design an appropriate allocation process consistent with the annually established priorities and total number of vouchers available for the project-based voucher program for that year. 2. Qualified Agencies Agencies qualified to participate in the project-based voucher program must either be: 13-3
