NLIHC Public Housing Resident Webinar September 18, 2012 Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD): What Residents & Advocates Need to Know Now NLIHC Public Housing Resident Webinar September 18, 2012

AGENDA Today’s Presentation AMY AGENDA Today’s Presentation Why the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD)? Role of Residents in Developing RAD Major Features of RAD Resident Considerations about RAD Today’s Presenters Patrick Costigan, HUD Office of the Secretary Ron Ashford, HUD Public Housing Supportive Services Ed Gramlich, National Low Income Housing Coalition

WHY RAD? PAT HUD provides rental assistance to over 4.6M households 1.1M PH households 3.5M households in MF or Section 8 like units Plus 1.8M LIHTC units—through Treasury Insufficient federal funding for public housing has left $25.6B, or $23,365/unit, in capital needs across the nation Losing 10,000-15,000 hard units each year Federal government alone cannot meet the capital repair and replacement needs of Public Housing Current rules prohibit PHAs from accessing the same resources Section 8 or low income housing tax credit (LIHTC) properties can

ROLE OF RESIDENTS IN DEVELOPING RAD ED ROLE OF RESIDENTS IN DEVELOPING RAD Resident input a key driver in the evolution of TRA  PETRA  RAD Partnered with National Housing Law Project (NHLP) to conduct nationwide resident outreach for TRA Formed Resident Engagement Group (REG) Held historic resident convenings at HUD Met with Secretary Donovan and senior HUD staff Continued meetings with residents and advocates during RAD development RAD is not TRA or PETRA Reflects input from residents and advocates that were part of the process from the start

RON RAD KEY GOALS RAD allows selected Public Housing, and at-risk assisted Multifamily “legacy” programs to convert their form of assistance to long-term Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts Key RAD Goals Build on the proven Section 8 platform Leverage private capital to make needed repairs and preserve affordable housing units Offer residents greater choice and mobility

RAD CONVERSION ELIGIBILITY PAT RAD CONVERSION ELIGIBILITY Public Housing Mod Rehab Rent Supp & RAP 1st Component: Competitive, 60,000 Units PBRA PBV PBV Long-Term Project-Based Section 8 Rental Assistance Contracts

RAD CONVERSION PROCESS PAT RAD CONVERSION PROCESS RAD is voluntary – PHAs choose to apply Starting September 24 Up to 60,000 Public Housing units can convert assistance Assistance converts to long-term, property-based Section 8 contracts, either Project Based Voucher (PBV) Contracts, administered by HUD’s Office Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) Contracts, administered by HUD’s Office Multifamily Programs (OMFP)

1-1 PRESERVATION OF PUBLIC HOUSING PAT 1-1 PRESERVATION OF PUBLIC HOUSING PHAs must maintain the same # of deeply affordable units One-for-one replacement of units with a “de-minimus” or minor exception “De-minimus” allows PHAs to reduce the # of assisted units by up to 5% or 5 units, whichever is greater, without HUD approval PHAs can also reduce units that have been Vacant for 2 or more years Reconfigured, such as an efficiency made into a 1-bedroom unit Converted to use for social services No permanent involuntary displacement of residents can occur as a result of conversion

PUBLIC HOUSING OWNERSHIP ED PUBLIC HOUSING OWNERSHIP Conversion will not require a change in ownership Public or non-profit ownership or control Two exceptions For-profit ownership to facilitate low-income tax credits (LIHTCs) If foreclosure, bankruptcy, or termination for cause – dispose first to capable public entity, then other capable entities as determined by Secretary

LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY ED LONG-TERM AFFORDABILITY Initial Contract Term PBRA: 20 years PBV: 15 years (or 20 years with PHA approval) Secretary must renew contract and PHA must accept Long-term use agreement extended with each contract renewal

RESIDENT CHOICE-MOBILITY ED RESIDENT CHOICE-MOBILITY PBV—adheres to current program rules Minimum residency: 1 year Waitlist priority if tenant-based assistance is not immediately available PBRA—different rules Minimum residency: 2 years PHA may limit Choice-Mobility vouchers to 1/3 of turnover vouchers, or moves to 15% of the project’s assisted units – If limited, resident wait-list policy for HCVs to exercise choice-mobility option HUD may exempt up to 10% of converted units under RAD from this requirement where no vouchers are available

RESIDENT NOTIFICATION & CONSULTATION ED RESIDENT NOTIFICATION & CONSULTATION PHAs must notify and consult with residents in advance of, and throughout, the conversion of assistance Prior to Conversion Conduct at least two meetings with residents of projects proposed for initial application Provide opportunity for residents of proposed projects to comment Address resident comments in writing Upon approval of initial application (Commitment to Enter into HAP, or CHAP), conduct at least one more resident meeting Upon Issuance of RAD Conversion Commitment Notify each affected household of conversion approval Inform households of specific conversion plans/impacts Affected households that do not want to transition to new program can be offered transfer to other Public Housing as available

SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENT CHANGE RON SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENT CHANGE HUD considers RAD conversions to be a “Significant Amendment” to a PHA Plan Discussions with resident organizations and other residents can begin at any time Ideally before the two required meetings with residents of projects proposed for conversion, and prior to the initial application HUD requires that the Significant Amendment be made after preliminary approval is granted (CHAP) Can be 2 months after a conversion application is submitted Well before final conversion is approved (HAP) RAB involvement, PHA-wide notice, broad public outreach

RAD RENT & TENANCY PROVISIONS RON RAD RENT & TENANCY PROVISIONS Residents will continue to pay 30% adjusted income – If monthly rent increases by more than greater of 10% or $25 purely as a result of conversion (only likely in “flat rent” scenarios), rent increases will be phased in over 3 years (or 5 years if PHA elects) No rescreening of residents upon conversion–will not affect continued residency Residents will have the first right to return if rehab or construction requires temporary relocation Permanent involuntary displacement of residents may not occur as a result of the project’s conversion of assistance

RAD RESIDENT PROVISIONS RON RAD RESIDENT PROVISIONS Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) & Resident Opportunities and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS-SC) FSS & ROSS-SC participants may continue in programs Resident Participation & Funding Residents can establish & operate legitimate resident organizations PHAs must recognize legitimate resident organizations PHAs must provide $25 per occupied unit annually for resident participation per current PH program rules Resident Procedural Rights PHAs must abide by additional (to PBV & PBRA) grievance and termination provisions to be consistent with rights afforded by Section 6 of the Housing Act

RAD RESIDENT PROVISIONS RON RAD RESIDENT PROVISIONS Resident Participation—instead of Section 964 provisions for Public Housing If convert to PBRA, then Multifamily Section 245 participation provisions apply If convert to PBV, then provisions similar to Section 245 apply Section 245-like rights include Right to establish and operate a “legitimate resident organization,” including Leafleting, surveys, site meetings Respond to PHA requests to increase rents, changes in utilities, make major capital repairs, prepay loans

IF YOUR PHA IS APPLYING FOR RAD RON IF YOUR PHA IS APPLYING FOR RAD Some Good Questions to Ask Which developments are being considered for conversion? Does the PHA intend to apply for PBV or PBRA, and why? When is the PHA discussing conversion plans with residents? How do I submit my feedback on the plans? When will the PHA share their responses to feedback? How can I be involved moving forward?

Email questions to rad@hud.gov RON RAD WEB PAGE RAD Notice, application materials, and additional resources can be found at www.hud.gov/rad Email questions to rad@hud.gov
