Examples of the standard for this review may be found in HUD Handbook4350.1, Chapter 13, Transfer of Physical Assets.For retroactive conversions where TPVs have already been issued, the owner must be ingood standing with the PHA administering the TPVs at the project and must receive theconsent of the PHA and affected residents to convert the TPV assistance to PBVassistance.B. Eligible Properties. Eligible properties must have an active Rent Supp or RAPassistance contract at the property, or must have previously received Rent Supp or RAPassistance that terminated on or after October 1, 2006. In addition, the property must haveexperienced (on or after October 1, 2006) an event that has triggered the provision ofTPVs, or anticipate a triggering event no later than September 30, 2013. Under <strong>RAD</strong>, atriggering event is defined as the termination (or expiration) of a Rent Supp or RAPrental assistance contract, at which time regular Housing Choice Vouchers will be orhave been provided, or in some cases EVs will be or have been provided, in the contextof certain prepayments (discussed in C.2, below).Projects that participated in a Section 236 Interest Reduction Payments (IRP) Decouplingtransaction that did not terminate a Rent Supp or RAP contract are ineligible for <strong>RAD</strong>unless the Rent Supp or RAP contract has an expiration date on or before September 30,2013. Typically, when the underlying mortgage on a Rent Supp or RAP project isprepaid, the prepayment terminates the Rent Supp or RAP contract. In some cases, anowner may receive a waiver from HUD to leave a Rent Supp or RAP contract in place atthe time of prepayment of an FHA-insured or state-insured mortgage. If a mortgage on aproject has previously been prepaid and the Owner received a waiver from HUD tomaintain the Rent Supplement or RAP contract (which is most common in the context ofan IRP Decoupling transaction), the project is ineligible for <strong>RAD</strong> because there has beenno triggering event related to the Rent Supp or RAP contract that resulted in the issuanceof TPVs. The project is not eligible for <strong>RAD</strong> unless the Rent Supp or RAP contract isscheduled to naturally expire no later than September 30, 2013. Rent Supp and RAPcontracts that will terminate in conjunction with a mortgage prepayment on or beforeSeptember 30, 2013 are eligible for <strong>RAD</strong>, however HUD will not authorize the earlytermination of Rent Supp or RAP contracts outside of the context of a mortgageprepayment for the purposes of the Demonstration.C.
