1 Inside This Issue: Management and Occupancy Reviews Management and Occupancy Reviews HUD 11-21: Revised EIV Guidance Are Social Security Cents Counted? HUD 11-20: Bedbug Control and Prevention FY 2012 Proposed FMR s Published Multifamily Energy Innovation Fund Policy Governing Utility Allowances Under the ACC extension effective October 1, 2011, CAHI will no longer be under contract to perform or monitor MOR activities. CAHI has not been informed by HUD on how open MORs will be handled after October 1, MORs are to be re-instated after HUD completes the new rebid and implements the new ACC for the PBCA. As a result, CAHI strongly recommends that you work to close out all open items on your MOR report with CAHI prior to October 1, Technical Assistance Programs for Owners of Section 8 Multifamily Housing Properties Recently the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) informed Owners and Management Agents (O/As) in the Northern California portfolio that the California Affordable Housing Imitative (CAHI) will continue to service project based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment contracts under an amended 6 month term effective October 1, Continue to us send your Rent Adjustments, Contract Renewals, Special Claims, and Vouchers. CAHI would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our commitment to continue providing the owners and agents of the PBCA portfolio the highest quality of services as we fulfill our obligation to HUD as Contract Administrator in Northern California. Resident Rights Brochure Available in Braille 10 HUD/REAC Guidance for Properties Preparing for Physical Inspections 10 Although HUD no longer requires us to perform the Management and Occupancy Review during the amended contract term, we think it is very important and beneficial to offer technical assistance and training to enable owners and agents to maintain compliance with your HAP contract and regulatory agreements. In the spirit of partnership with the northern California affordable housing industry, CAHI is pleased to make the expertise of our staff available on-site through an optional Technical Assistance program. More details about next stages of Technical Assistance will be forthcoming. Remember, these services are optional and offered without charge to O/As. CAHI is excited for the opportunity to work with O/As for the betterment of housing in Northern California.
2 HUD Issues Revised EIV Notice Housing Notice , Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) System, was issued August 19, This Notice supersedes Notices H , H , and H The Notice is posted on HUDCLIPS at: The revised Notice: Clarifies that IPAs may use printed EIV documents when auditing an owner s compliance (An IPA is an Independent Public Auditor hired to audit a property s financial statements) Clarifies the requirement on resolving discrepancies between TRACS and the current form HUD Indicates the following reports must be run by selecting the All recertification month: No Income Report New Hires Report Identity Verification Report Deceased Tenant Report States the O/A must make sure that the income appearing on the EIV Income Report does not meet a regulatory income exclusion. Clarifies that a tenant s monthly repayment agreement payment may exceed 40% of the family s monthly adjusted income if the family agrees to the amount stated in the repayment agreement. Recommends that an O/A has the head of household and, if applicable, the family member who had the unreported income sign a repayment agreement. Indicates the comment field on the voucher must be completed when explaining payment and costs retained even if no costs were retained. Identifies an updated penalty for not using the EIV system. The O/A will now incur a penalty of a five percent decrease in the voucher payment for the month following the date the violation was found and each subsequent voucher payment until the MOR finding is cured. 2
3 HUD Issues Revised EIV Notice (continued) Indicates a new security training requirement. EIV users are now required to complete the online Federal ISS Awareness training program. The most recent HUD EIV webcast will no longer satisfy the security training requirement. Clarifies that when mailing EIV data, data must be sent to an office of the O/A and must not be mailed to Independent Auditor offices New Attachment 9: Assessing the Five Percent Penalty in Voucher Payment has been added New Attachment 10: Sample Tenant Consent to Disclose EIV Income Information has been added HUD has received requests for further clarification to RHIIP Listserv messages #229 and #231 on how to calculate Social Security income and/or Medicare when the amounts in the EIV system differ from the amounts represented on the SSA Award Letter. Specifically, which document do you use when the Social Security Award Letter indicates a cents amount being received and the EIV Income Report does not. Are Social Security Cents Included as Income? Housing Notice states the Income Report identifying the Social Security benefit information in EIV must be used as third party verification of the tenant s income and will be used to calculate the tenant s income. Additionally, the O/A must confirm with the tenant that the current benefit amount in EIV is correct. If the tenant agrees that the Social Security benefit information reported in EIV is correct, the O/A must use the gross benefit amount reported in EIV for calculating the tenant s income by annualizing the gross benefit amount projected forward for the next 12 months. This requirement allows the O/A to use the amount represented in EIV (even if no cents are included) to calculate income. Social Security Award Letters are not required to be viewed or included in the tenant s file if the EIV Income Report is being used to verify and calculate benefits. The SSA award letter should be used to calculate income and included in the tenant s file only if the tenant disputes the amount(s) on the EIV Income Report. Having the SSA Award Letter in the file is not in itself an indication that the tenant disputes the amount(s) on the EIV Income Report. The O/A should make a note on the EIV Income Report that the tenant disputes the amount and then use the Social Security Award Letter to calculate income. The award letter must not be older than 120 days. Please refer to Notice H for instructions when the tenant does not have his/her Social Security Award Letter or when the letter is older than 120 days. 3
4 HUD Notice Guidelines on Bed Bug Control and Prevention Housing Notice , Guidelines on Bed Bug Control and Prevention in HUD Insured and Assisted Multifamily Housing, was issued August 19, This Notice provides information and references to best practices regarding the prevention and control of bed bug infestations. It also provides guidance on the rights and responsibilities of HUD, Owners and Management Agents (O/As) and tenants with regard to bed bug infestations. The notice clarifies that the costs of eradicating bed bugs is a project expense and consequently HUD can approve withdrawals from Residual Receipts and Reserve For Replacement or reimbursement of owner loans to the project. O/A develop an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan---details of requirements are provided As part of the IPM plan: Provide training for staff Engage residents in efforts to prevent bedbugs Provide orientation for new tenants O/A should respond with urgency to any report of bedbugs, if an owner cannot attain the services of a licensed pest control company within 3 calendar days of the reported infestation, the O/A is required to retain documentation of efforts to obtain services. Prohibited Actions by an O/A: Denying tenancy to a potential resident on the basis of a previous infestation Give a preference to any tenant based on responses to questions regarding prior exposure to bedbugs Charging a tenant to cover the cost of bedbug treatment The Hub/PC Director may honor requests for releases from the Reserve for Replacement or Residual Receipts accounts to reimburse an Owner for bed bug treatment. HUD may also consider an increased pest control line item in the project s operating budget, if the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract allows for budget-based rent setting in accordance with the Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide. However, any request for a rent increase should be part of an ongoing pest prevention program. The CA may allow this expense on the budget IF the property has demonstrated that they have an ongoing pest prevention program. Evidence of the program would need to be submitted in addition to other supporting financial documents, such as an invoice, in order to be eligible for approval. The Notice has been attached and is also available on HUDCLIPS at: 4
5 HUD Releases Proposed FY 2012 Fair Market Rents Fair Market Rents (FMRs) are primarily used to determine payment standard amounts for the Housing Choice Voucher program, to determine initial renewal rents for some expiring project-based Section 8 contracts, to determine initial rents for housing assistance payment (HAP) contracts in the Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy program (Mod Rehab), and to serve as a rent ceiling in the HOME rental assistance program. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) annually estimates FMRs for 530 metropolitan areas and 2,045 nonmetropolitan county FMR areas. By law the final FMRs for use in any fiscal year must be published and available for use at the start of that fiscal year, on October 1.HUD uses the most accurate and current data available to develop the FMR estimates. Three sources of survey data are used: The Decennial Census provides statistically reliable rent data for use in establishing base year FMRs. The 2000 Census data were first used for the FY2005 FMRs. The American Community Surveys (ACS) collects decennial census long-form style data. The first full implementation of the ACS was in 2005, and was used in the FY2008 FMRs. The 2005 ACS can, in some cases, provide a new basis for 2005, or, for most cases, be used to update the 2000 Census base FMR to It is likely that ACS data will be used more extensively when the estimates using 3-yr and 5-yr average data for smaller census areas are published. Random digit dialing (RDD) telephone surveys are based on a sampling procedure that uses computers to select statistically random samples of telephone numbers, dial and keep track of them, and tabulate the responses to the calls. RDD surveys are conducted in a limited number of areas each year to assess housing market conditions. The proposed FY 2012 documentation can be found at the following link: portal/datasets/fmr/fmrs/docsys.html&data=fmr12 5
6 Multifamily Energy Innovation Fund Included here please find an overview of the program and links to other sites for obtaining important information and instructions. The information that appears here is not a substitute for careful reading of the EI Notice of Funding Availability (EI NOFA) published on the Grants.Gov website on August 22, OVERVIEW HUD s Office of Multifamily Housing Programs has issued a NOFA for the Multifamily Energy Innovation Fund. This fund provides a total of $25 million in grants to be used for the purpose of energy efficiency upgrades at multifamily properties. The goals of this NOFA are to: Demonstrate solutions to the primary and longstanding challenges to implementing energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements, in existing affordable multifamily properties. Leverage private capital and additional public funding to demonstrate proof of concept of specific models. Conduct applied research to document and disseminate mainstream, scalable approaches to retrofitting affordable multifamily properties. The overall objective of the Energy Innovation Fund is to help catalyze a home energy retrofit market in the United States by accelerating private investment in cost-saving energy efficiency retrofits in the residential sector. Innovative and replicable strategies to improve the usefulness of existing HUD programs--as well as developing new financing tools--will lead to significant reductions in energy consumption, operating costs, and the carbon footprint of both affordable and market-rate housing. THE HUD GRANTS WEB PAGE Detailed application instructions and EI program requirements are included in the General Section of HUD s FY 2010 NOFAs for Discretionary Programs, and in the Energy Innovation Fund NOFA.
