Chapter 13 – Special Programs 9. Ongoing Eligibility The owners will also be required to assist participant tenants with completing the annual recertification process. The owner must schedule an annual on-site interview to assist their clients with the completion of necessary recertification forms and the gathering of required income and asset verifications as stated in applicable agency/owner agreements. Final eligibility and rent portion determinations will be completed by SDHC staff. File audits will be conducted on regular basis for project-based voucher files. 10. Occupancy Standards SDHC will apply the same Occupancy Standards in the project-based program as it uses for the tenant-based assistance program unless otherwise stated in the HAP Contract and/or addendums for the specific development. 11. Utility Allowance Utility Allowance calculations will be computed for project-based units in the same manner as Moving Forward tenant-based voucher calculations. 12. Inspecting Units/Rent Reasonableness HQS Inspections and Rent Reasonableness determinations will be conducted for project-based developments in the same manner as those conducted for the units in the tenant-based assistance program. 13. Lease Agreement and HAP Contract Project Based owner will be required to use their own lease agreements along with the HUD mandated PBV Tenancy Addendum. The initial PBV HAP Contract will be issue for a term of one to ten years, depending upon the discretion of the SDHC. Upon expiration of a HAP contract, the owner may be offered a renewal contract. 14. Vacancy Loss/Damage Claims When a project-based unit becomes vacant and the Owner/Agent has submitted a timely and complete claim within 60 days from the date the tenant vacated the unit, SDHC will pay to the owner 30 days of Housing Assistance payments to cover vacancy loss. The vacancy period is the beginning of the first calendar month after the move-out month for a period not exceeding one full month following the move-out month. The Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) will be the same as the previous month’s HAP amount. SDHC will not make any further vacancy loss payments to the owner. SDHC will not pay the owner for any damages to the unit. The owner is encouraged to charge the tenant a sufficient security deposit to cover damages. 15. Exit Vouchers After a household has participated in the Project-based voucher program for no less than 24 months and are in good standing with SDHC and Section 8 requirements the family may move from the project-based assisted unit and retain federal housing assistance under the tenant-based voucher program. However, no more than 15% of the tenants in any given development who become eligible to transition to a tenant-based voucher in any given year, and no more than 10% in any given month, would be allowed to move from the PBV assisted complex. A waiting list will be maintained for those wishing to move but who exceed the threshold. The family must locate a program eligible unit to which it can relocate with continued rental assistance by the expiration of the voucher term. 13-8
Chapter 13 – Special Programs SDHC will provide a tenant-based voucher when funding is available. When funding is not available, the tenant will be given priority once vouchers become available. Households who leave the project-based voucher program before residing in the unit for 24 months and/or do not meet the requirements or agreements of the program are not eligible for continued assistance. Hardship Policy Families who present a compelling reason to move from the PBV unit and receive a tenant-based voucher prior to fulfilling the 24-month occupancy requirement will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The case will go before the Vice President of Rental Assistance or designee and approval to move with a tenant-based voucher may be granted. Circumstances surrounding the request to move, such as VAWA requirements, employment opportunities in other PHA jurisdictions, and availability of tenant-based vouchers will be considered as part of the determination. SECTION 3: NON-MOVING FORWARD PROJECT BASED UNITS 1. Program Description This is a Federal Section 8 housing subsidy program that ties rental assistance directly to a specific unit or project for an aggregate term up to 15 years. The SDHC will fund the Project-Based Voucher Program through its Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), using funds provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The Project-Based Voucher Program consists of existing housing, new construction, or rehabilitation projects comprised of multifamily or single-family units. The Program is targeted to homeless persons or families that receive supportive services in addition to housing. These populations may include, but are not limited to: - Victims of Domestic Violence - Persons with Disabilities – Mentally Ill, Developmentally Disabled, Physically Disabled - Persons with HIV/AIDS - Youth - Persons with Alcohol/Drug Addictions - Veterans - Elderly The program may also be used for projects serving the elderly or persons with disabilities, whether they are homeless or not. Projects are eligible to receive vouchers for up to 25 percent of the units, at the sole discretion of SDHC. The PBV program provides housing assistance to qualified, very-low income individuals and families. Project-Based Voucher participants do not locate their own unit but must move to a unit already in the Project-Based Voucher Program. 13-9
