DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

[Docket No. FR-6325-N-04]

Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Fourth Quarter of Calendar Year 2022

AGENCY:

Office of the General Counsel, HUD.

ACTION:

Notice.

SUMMARY:

Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform Act) requires HUD to publish quarterly Federal Register notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD has approved. Each notice covers the quarterly period since the previous Federal Register notice. The purpose of this notice is to comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the period beginning on October 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

For general information about this notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Associate General Counsel for Legislation and Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 10276, Washington, DC 20410-0500, telephone 202-708-3055 (this is not a toll-free number).

HUD welcomes and is prepared to receive calls from individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as individuals with speech or communication disabilities. To learn more about how to make an accessible telephone call, please visit https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs.

For information concerning a particular waiver that was granted and for which public notice is provided in this document, contact the person whose name and address follow the description of the waiver granted in the accompanying list of waivers that have been granted in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act added a new section 7(q) to the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides that:

1. Any waiver of a regulation must be in writing and must specify the grounds for approving the waiver;

2. Authority to approve a waiver of a regulation may be delegated by the Secretary only to an individual of Assistant Secretary or equivalent rank, and the person to whom authority to waive is delegated must also have authority to issue the particular regulation to be waived;

3. Not less than quarterly, the Secretary must notify the public of all waivers of regulations that HUD has approved, by publishing a notice in the Federal Register . These notices (each covering the period since the most recent previous notification) shall:

a. Identify the project, activity, or undertaking involved;

b. Describe the nature of the provision waived and the designation of the provision;

c. Indicate the name and title of the person who granted the waiver request;

d. Describe briefly the grounds for approval of the request; and

e. State how additional information about a particular waiver may be obtained.

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act also contains requirements applicable to waivers of HUD handbook provisions that are not relevant to the purpose of this notice.

This notice follows procedures provided in HUD's Statement of Policy on Waiver of Regulations and Directives issued on April 22, 1991 (56 FR 16337). In accordance with those procedures and with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act, waivers of regulations are granted by the Assistant Secretary with jurisdiction over the regulations for which a waiver was requested. In those cases in which a General Deputy Assistant Secretary granted the waiver, the General Deputy Assistant Secretary was serving in the absence of the Assistant Secretary in accordance with the office's Order of Succession.

This notice covers waivers of regulations granted by HUD from October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. For ease of reference, the waivers granted by HUD are listed by HUD program office (for example, the Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the Office of Housing, and the Office of Public and Indian Housing, etc.). Within each program office grouping, the waivers are listed sequentially by the regulatory section of title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that is being waived. For example, a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 58 would be listed before a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 570.

Where more than one regulatory provision is involved in the grant of a particular waiver request, the action is listed under the section number of the first regulatory requirement that appears in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For example, a waiver of both §?58.73 and §?58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under §?58.73.

Waiver of regulations that involve the same initial regulatory citation are in time sequence beginning with the earliest-dated regulatory waiver.

Additionally, this notice includes waivers made pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), not previously published in the Federal Register . These waivers are listed separately from other individual waivers within each program office grouping, as CARES Act waivers broadly covered all affected parties rather than individual, case-by-case situations. The lists include additional Memoranda and Notices issued regarding broad CARES Act waivers provided by HUD since the enactment of the Act on March 27, 2020. In addition, the lists provide a short, two- or three-line description of each memo or notice, identifying the specific CARES Act authority and purpose of the waivers addressed therein.

Should HUD receive additional information about waivers granted during the period covered by this report (the fourth quarter of calendar year 2022) before the next report is published (the first quarter of calendar year 2023), HUD will include any additional waivers granted for the fourth quarter in the next report.

Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this notice.

Damon Y. Smith,

General Counsel.

the contact person that immediately follows the description of the waiver granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a) Limitation on Activities Pending Clearance.

Project/Activity: Homekey Project-Salinas, California-Section 8 Project-based Vouchers.

Nature of Requirement: Pursuant to 24 CFR 58.22(a) "until the RROF and the related certification have been approved, neither a recipient nor any participant in the development process may commit non-HUD funds on or undertake an activity . . . if the activity or project would have an adverse environmental impact or limit the choice of reasonable alternatives."

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: December 19, 2022.

Reason Waived: HUD may approve a Request for a Waiver of Part 58 when a regulatory violation has occurred, if there is good cause to grant the waiver and no unmitigated adverse environmental impacts will result. HUD has reviewed the Environmental Assessment submitted by the City of Salinas and the City asserts the regulatory violation was unintentional, has committed to receiving training and technical assistance, and the purpose of the project to provide housing and supportive services to the homeless furthers HUD program goals.

Contact: Kristin L. Fontenot, Director, Office of Environment and Energy, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 655-1412.

• Alternative Requirement: Alternative requirement modifying section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 published at section III.G.3 of the CDBG-DR Consolidated Notice published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2022 at 87 FR 6364 (the "February 2022 Notice") and May 24, 2022 at 87 FR 31636 (the "May 2022 Notice").

Project/Activity: Assistance to private for-profit, non-profit, or publicly owned utilities as part of disaster-related activities that are eligible under section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and assisted with Community Development Block Grant disaster recovery (CDBG-DR) grants made in response to 2020 and 2021 disasters that are subject to the February 2022 Notice and the May 2022 Notice.

Nature of Requirement: In October 2021, HUD allocated $2,051,217,000 in CDBG-DR funds made available by Public Law 117-43 (the "Appropriations Act") to assist disaster-related needs from disasters occurring in 2020. On February 3, 2022, HUD published a Federal Register notice governing the use of those funds (87 FR 6364). In March 2022, HUD allocated an additional $722,688,000 in CDBG-DR funds from the Appropriations Act for disasters occurring in 2020 and $2,213,595,000 in CDBG-DR funds from the Appropriations Act for disasters occurring in 2021. On May 24, 2022, HUD published a Federal Register notice governing the use of those funds.

Both Federal Register notices included HUD's CDBG-DR "Consolidated Notice" as Appendix B and made the Consolidated Notice applicable to the grants announced in those notices. Paragraph III.G.3. of the Consolidated Notice imposes the following alternative requirement: " Prohibiting assistance to private utilities. HUD is adopting the following alternative requirement to section 105(a) and prohibiting the use of CDBG-DR funds to assist a privately-owned utility for any purpose."

Granted By: Adrianne Todman, Deputy Secretary Housing and Urban Development.

Date Granted: December 12, 2022.

Reason Modified: The Continuing Appropriation Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-180), approved on September 30, 2022, appropriated an additional $2,000,000,000 for 2021 and 2022 disasters. The funds under Public Law 117-180 are available "for the same purposes and under the same terms and conditions" as funds appropriated under Public Law 117-43 with a few exceptions. One of the exceptions is that amounts made under Public Law 117-180 and 117-43 "may be used by a grantee to assist utilities as part of a disaster-related eligible activity under section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5305(a))."

To comply with this new provision governing assistance to utilities, HUD made Section III.G.3 of the CDBG-DR Consolidated Notice inapplicable for disasters occurring in 2020 and 2021, and instead imposed a replacement alternative requirement that was added as paragraph IV.A.4. within the February 2022 Notice and the May 2022 Notice. While it is possible that not every CDBG-DR assisted utility will serve predominantly low-and moderate-income (LMI) populations, HUD recognizes that LMI populations would benefit especially from the increased resilience and recovery of private utilities. HUD also recognizes that privately-owned, for-profit utilities have a means of obtaining private investment or otherwise recapturing costs from ratepayers. Therefore, HUD's replacement alternative requirement includes basic safeguards that HUD has determined are necessary to ensure that costs comply with the certification CDBG-DR grantee must make to give maximum feasible priority to activities that benefit LMI persons and that costs are necessary and reasonable and do not duplicate other financial assistance.

Specifically, the funded activity must comply with all requirements that apply to the use of grant funds. Additionally, grantees carrying out activities that assist private, for-profit utilities must priorities assistance to for-profit utilities that will benefit areas where at least 51 percent of the residents are low- and moderate-income persons and demonstrate how the assistance will benefit those areas. Additionally, the grantee must document that the level of assistance provided to a private, for-profit utility addresses only the actual identified needs of the utility, and establish policies and procedures that establish a mix of financing terms (loan, forgivable loan, and/or grant) for each assisted private, for-profit utility, based on the business's financial capacity. The modified alternative requirement also makes clear that assistance to utilities is subject to all other requirements that apply to the use of funds, consistent with the requirement in Public Law 117-180 that funds must be for an "eligible activity under section 105(a)."

Applicability: The replacement alternative requirement added by the December 12, 2022 alternative requirement as a new paragraph IV.A.4. within the February 2022 Notice and the May 2022 Notice is applicable to all CDBG-DR funds appropriated for major disasters occurring in 2020 and 2021 under Public Law 117-43.

Contact: Tennille S. Parker, Director, Office of Disaster Recovery, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-3587.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR 91.115 (c)(2), and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401.

Project/Activity: The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and any HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) grantee located in the county equivalents (municipios) included in the declared-disaster area (see DR-4671-PR) seeking to expedite action in response to Hurricane Fiona, upon notification to the Community Planning and Development Director in its respective HUD Field Office. This authority is in effect for grantees in the areas covered by the major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), DR-4671-PR, dated September 21, 2022, as may be amended (the "Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas") and is limited to facilitating preparation of substantial amendments to FY 2022 and prior year plans.

Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401 require a 30-day public comment period in the development of a consolidated plan and prior to the implementation of a substantial amendment.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.

Reason Waived: Several CPD grantees were affected by Hurricane Fiona that hit Puerto Rico on September 17, 2022. As a result of substantial property loss and destruction, many individuals and families residing in the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas were displaced from their homes, including beneficiaries of various CPD programs, and families eligible to receive CPD program assistance. The waiver granted will allow grantees to expedite recovery efforts for low- and moderate-income residents affected by the property loss and destruction resulting from this event.

Contact: Robert C. Peterson, Director, State and Small Cities Division, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-4211.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401.

[top] Project/Activity: The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and any HUD Community

Planning and Development (CPD) grantee located in the county equivalents (municipios) included in the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas (see DR-4671-PR) seeking to expedite action in response to Hurricane Fiona, upon notification to the Community Planning and Development Director in its respective HUD Field Office. This authority is in effect for grantees within the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas and is limited to facilitating preparation of substantial amendments to FY 2022 and prior year plans.

Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401 require the grantee to follow its citizen participation plan to provide citizens with reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The citizen participation plan must state how reasonable notice and opportunity to comment will be given.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.

Reason Waived: As stated above, several CPD grantees were affected by Hurricane Fiona that hit Puerto Rico on September 17, 2022. As a result of substantial property loss and destruction, many individuals and families residing in the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas were displaced from their homes, including beneficiaries of various CPD programs, and families eligible to receive CPD program assistance. The waiver granted will allow grantees to determine what constitutes reasonable notice and opportunity to comment given their circumstances and provide that level of notice and opportunity to comment when amending prior year plans in response to the disaster.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4).

Project/Activity: All CDBG grantees located within and outside declared disaster areas assisting persons and families who have registered with FEMA in connection with Hurricane Fiona.

Nature of Requirement: The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4) prohibit income payments, but permit emergency grant payments for three months. "Income payments" means a series of subsistence-type grant payments made to an individual or family for items such as food, clothing, housing (rent or mortgage), or utilities. Emergency grant payments made over a period of up to three consecutive months to the providers of such items and services on behalf of an individual or family are eligible public services.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.

Reason Waived: HUD waives the provisions of 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4) to permit emergency grant payments for items such as food, clothing, housing (rent or mortgage), or utilities for up to six consecutive months. While this waiver allows emergency grant payments to be made for up to six consecutive months, the payments must still be made to service providers as opposed to the affected individuals or families. Many individuals and families have been forced to abandon their homes due to the damage associated with Hurricane Fiona. The waiver will allow CDBG grantees, including grantees providing assistance to evacuees outside the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas, to pay for the basic daily needs of individuals and families affected by the hurricane on an interim basis. This authority is in effect through the end of the grantee's 2023 program year. This waiver aligns with waivers currently in effect for CDBG coronavirus (CDBG-CV) grants. The six-month periods allowed by waiver for CDBG and CDBG-CV shall not be used consecutively for the same beneficiary.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR 91.115 (c)(2), and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401.

Project/Activity: The State of Florida and any HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) grantee located in the counties included in the declared-disaster area (see DR-4673-FL) seeking to expedite action in response to Hurricane Ian, upon notification to the Community Planning and Development Director in its respective HUD Field Office. This authority is in effect for grantees in the areas covered by the major disaster declaration under title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), DR-4673-FL, dated September 29, 2022, as may be amended (the "Hurricane Ian declared-disaster areas") and is limited to facilitating preparation of substantial amendments to FY 2022 and prior year plans.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: October 3, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.

Reason Waived: Several CPD grantees were affected by Hurricane Ian that hit Florida on September 23, 2022. As a result of substantial property loss and destruction, many individuals and families residing in the Hurricane Ian declared-disaster areas were displaced from their homes, including beneficiaries of various CPD programs, and families eligible to receive CPD program assistance. The waiver granted will allow grantees to expedite recovery efforts for low- and moderate-income residents affected by the property loss and destruction resulting from this event.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2)(iii), Space and Security.

Project/Activity: State of Indiana; City of Houston, TX; State of Rhode Island; City of Cleveland, OH.

Nature of Requirement: This section of the HOPWA regulations provides that each resident must be afforded adequate space and security for themselves and their belongings.

Granted By: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: October 1, 2022-December 31, 2022.

Reason Waived: In 2020, CPD began issuing waivers of regulatory authority available on a nationwide basis with a simplified opt-in process to help recipients prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Between March 31, 2020, and December 30, 2021, CPD published several memoranda announcing nationwide availability of regulatory waivers. Under Notice CPD-22-09, issued on June 15, 2022, HOPWA grantees were provided the opportunity to apply for certain regulatory waivers to provide continued flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic and pandemic recovery.

Notice CPD-22-09 provided expedited processing of requests to waive 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2)(iii), so that grantees and project sponsors operating housing facilities and shared housing arrangements can place more than two people in a room or reconfigure rooms, common areas and other appropriate spaces for temporary quarantine services of eligible individuals and families affected by COVID-19. Notice CPD-22-09 required grantees to justify in the waiver request why the grantee or project sponsor cannot provide adequate space and security in accordance with the standard provided at 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2)(iii). The waiver request must also specify the period during which the grantee needs to use this waiver and that effective period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.330(a)(1), Time Limits for Short-Term Housing Facilities and Short-Term Rent, Mortgage, and Utility Payments.

Project/Activity: State of Indiana; City of Seattle, WA; City of San Juan, PR; City of Oklahoma City, OK; City of Houston, TX; State of Rhode Island; City of Indianapolis, IN; City of Cleveland, OH.

Nature of Requirement: This section of the HOPWA regulations limits the total amount of time an eligible individual or family can reside in a short-term supported housing facility to no more than 60 days during any six-month period. It also limits the Short-Term Rent, Mortgage, and Utility (STRMU) payments to prevent the homelessness of the tenant or mortgagor of a dwelling to no more than 21 weeks in any 52-week period.

Notice CPD-22-09 provided expedited processing of grantee requests to waive the 21-week and 60-day limitations in 24 CFR 574.330(a)(1). In utilizing the waiver, the grantee or project sponsor must document, on an individual household basis, that a good faith effort has been made to assist the household to achieve housing stability within the time limits specified in the regulations, but that financial needs or health and safety concerns have prevented the household from doing so. The grantee or project sponsor must also have written policies and procedures outlining efforts to regularly re-assess the needs of assisted households, as well as processes for granting extensions based on documented financial needs or health and safety concerns. The waiver request must specify the alternative limits to be used in place of the 21-week and 60-day limit as applicable, and those limits must not exceed 52 weeks and 120 days, respectively and specify the period during which the grantee needs to use this waiver and that effective period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

Granted By: Jemine A. Bryon, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Special Needs.

Date Granted: October 1, 2022-December 31, 2022.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.530, Self-Certification of Income and Credible Information on HIV Status.

Project/Activity: AIDS Foundation of Chicago; State of Indiana; City of Seattle, WA; City of San Juan, PR; City of Oklahoma City, OK; City of Houston, TX; State of Rhode Island; City of Indianapolis, IN; State of Montana; City of Cleveland, OH.

Nature of Requirement: HOPWA grantees and project sponsors must maintain records to document compliance with HOPWA requirements, which includes determining the eligibility of a family to receive HOPWA assistance.

Notice CPD-22-09 provided expedited processing of requests to waive the requirement at 24 CFR 574.530 to have source documentation of HIV status at the time of the determination of eligibility. In utilizing the waiver, grantees and project sponsors may accept written certification of HIV status and income to document eligibility of an individual or family seeking assistance if the grantee or project sponsor agrees to obtain source documentation of HIV status and income eligibility within 90 days of obtaining the written certification. Grantees and project sponsors must provide justification as to why source documentation cannot be acquired at the time of the eligibility determination. The waiver request must specify the period during which the grantee needs to use this waiver and that effective period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

Granted By: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development and Claudette Fernandez General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Mega-Waiver for Hurricane Ian-Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs AIDS (HOPWA) Program

On October 3, 2022, HUD issued a memorandum offering waivers of certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to address damage and facilitate recovery from Hurricane Ian in areas covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), DR-4673-FL, dated September 29, 2022, as may be amended (the "declared-disaster areas"). The October 3, 2022, memorandum was updated on December 8, 2022, to clarify the documentation requirements to support the use of some waivers to assist impacted individuals and provide greater clarity on the use of some waivers outside of the declared disaster area. The following summarizes the waivers available for HOPWA grantees.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2), Housing Quality Standards.

Project/Activity: The property standard requirements in 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2) are waived for units in the declared-disaster areas that are or will be occupied by HOPWA eligible households, provided that the units are free of life-threatening conditions as defined in Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA). Grantees must ensure that these units meet HOPWA housing quality standards within 60 days of October 3, 2022.

Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA regulations provides minimum housing quality standards that apply to all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition, rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of single room occupancy dwellings and community residences; project or tenant-based rental assistance; or operating costs under 24 CFR 574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: October 3, 2022.

Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable grantees and project sponsors to expeditiously meet the critical housing needs of the many eligible families in the declared disaster areas.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), Rent Standard.

Project/Activity: The rent standard requirement is waived for any rent amount that takes effect during the two-year period beginning on October 3, 2022, for any individual or family who is renting or executes a lease for a unit in the declared disaster areas. This waiver would apply for twelve months from the date of the execution of the lease under the waived rent standard requirement. Grantees and project sponsors must still ensure the reasonableness of rent charged for units in the declared-disaster areas in accordance with 574.320(a)(3).

Nature of Requirement: Grantees must establish rent standards for their rental assistance programs based on FMR (Fair Market Rent) or the HUD-approved community-wide exception rent for unit size.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: October 3, 2022.

Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable HOPWA grantees to expedite efforts to meet the critical housing needs of low-income people living with HIV and their families in the declared-disaster areas. Under the programmatic requirements at 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), the rent standard shall be no more than the published section 8 fair market rent (FMR) or the HUD-approved community-wide exception for the unit size. In addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the grantee may increase that amount by up to 10 percent for up to 20 percent of the units assisted. Notice CPD-22-10 Clarification of Rent Standard Requirement for the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program provides additional clarity and flexibility on how HOPWA grantees can administer the rent standard in accordance with 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) and the Regulatory and Administrative Requirement Waivers and Flexibilities Available to HUD Public Housing and Section 8 During CY 2022 and CY 2023 to Public Housing Agencies To Assist With Recovery and Relief Efforts on Behalf of Families Affected by Presidentially Declared Disasters, 87 FR 469 (Section 8 Disaster Notice) provides additional rent standard flexibility in presidentially declared disaster areas.

Due to the extensive damage to housing units in the declared disaster area and the need to ensure safe and decent units are immediately available to eligible households to prevent homelessness and protect the health of the people with HIV served under the program, HUD has determined that it is not practicable for grantees to be held to the rent standards in 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) even with the additional flexibilities under Notice CPD-22-10 and the Section 8 Disaster Notice. Waiving the rent standard requirement, while still requiring that the unit be rent reasonable in accordance with §?574.320(a)(3), will make more units immediately available to HOPWA eligible individuals and families in need of permanent housing in the declared-disaster areas and will help to quickly stabilize their housing and health.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 574.530, Recordkeeping.

Project/Activity: The recordkeeping requirement at 24 CFR 574.530 is waived to the extent necessary to allow HOPWA grantees, located within and outside of the declared disaster areas, to assist displaced persons and families, provided that the grantees (1) require written certification of HIV status and income of such individuals and families seeking assistance and (2) obtain source documentation of HIV status and income eligibility within six months of October 3, 2022.

Nature of Requirement: Each grantee must maintain records to document compliance with HOPWA requirements, which includes determining the eligibility of a family to receive HOPWA assistance.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

Date Granted: October 3, 2022.

Reason Waived: This waiver will permit HOPWA grantees and project sponsors, located within and outside of the declared-disaster areas, to rely upon a family member's self-certification of income and HIV status in lieu of source documentation to determine eligibility for HOPWA assistance for individuals and families displaced by the disaster. Many individuals and families displaced by the disaster whose homes have been destroyed or damaged will not have immediate access to documentation of income or medical records and, without this waiver, will be unable to document their eligibility for HOPWA assistance.

Under the programmatic requirements at 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), the rent standard shall be no more than the published section 8 fair market rent (FMR) or the HUD-approved community-wide exception for the unit size. In addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the grantee may increase that amount by up to 10 percent for up to 20 percent of the units assisted.

Mega-Waiver for California Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, and Mudslides-Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs AIDS (HOPWA) Program

On February 9, 2023, HUD issued a memorandum offering waivers of certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to address damage and facilitate recovery from California severe winter storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides in areas covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), DR-4683-CA, dated January 14, 2023, as may be amended (the "declared-disaster areas").

Grantees must ensure that these units meet HOPWA habitability standards within 60 days of the date of February 9, 2023.

Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA regulations provides minimum habitability standards that apply to all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition, rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of single room occupancy dwellings and community residences; project or tenant-based rental assistance; or operating costs under 24 CFR 574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).

This waiver would apply for twelve months from the date of the execution of the lease.

CoC-Fair Market Rent for Individual Units and Leasing Costs

• Regulation: 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2).

[top] Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2) prohibits a recipient from using grant funds for leasing to pay above FMR when leasing individual units, even if the rent is reasonable when compared to other similar, unassisted units.

Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited processing of recipient requests to waive the regulatory requirement at 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2) and use grant funds to pay for rent above FMR when leasing individual units under leases executed before the expiration of this Notice, so long as the rent paid for individual units meets the rent reasonableness standard at 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2).

This waiver is only made available with respect to leases of individual units between the effective date of the HUD-approved waiver and March 31, 2023, although the recipient may request that the waiver remain applicable to a lease of an individual unit in which a program participant is assisted during that time period may continue to benefit from this waiver through until the earlier of the end of the lease or the end of the period of performance/approved budget period(s) for the recipient's grant(s) covered by the waiver.

Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

II. Expedited COVID-19 Waivers (Notice CPD-22-09)-ESG

ESG-Assisting Program Participants With Subleases

• Regulation: 24 CFR 576.105; 24 CFR 576.106.

Nature of Requirement: The use of "owner" and "lease" in 24 CFR 576.105 and 576.106 restrict program participants from receiving rental assistance under 24 CFR 576.106 and certain services under 24 CFR 576.105 with respect to units that program participants sublease or lease from a person other than the owner or the owner's agent.

[top] Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited processing of recipient requests to waive the regulatory requirements in 24 CFR 576.105 and 576.106 to the extent that the references to "owner" and "lease" in 24 CFR 576.105 and 576.106 restrict program participants from receiving assistance in units they sublease from the primary leaseholder, provided that the recipient is able to assure HUD that: (i) The waiver will be used only when the program participant chooses to rent a unit through a legally valid sublease with the primary leaseholder for the unit; and (ii) The recipient has developed written policies to apply the requirements of 24 CFR 576.105, 24 CFR 576.106, 24 CFR 576.409, and 24 CFR 576.500(h) with respect to that program participant by reading the references to "owner" and "housing owner" to apply to the primary leaseholder and reading the references to "lease" to apply to the program participant's sublease or lease with primary leaseholder. In addition, to be considered for expedited processing, the waiver request must specify the period during which the recipient needs to house program participants using this flexibility, and that period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023, although the recipient may request that the waiver remain applicable to any sublease approved during that period until the earlier of the end of the program participant's otherwise allowable term of assistance or the end of the period of performance/approved budget period(s) for the recipient's grant(s) covered by the waiver.

ESG-Restriction of Rental Assistance to Units With Rent at or Below FMR

• Regulation: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1).

Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1) provides that rental assistance cannot be provided unless the total rent is equal to or less than the FMR established by HUD, as provided under 24 CFR part 888, and complies with HUD's standard of rent reasonableness, as established under 24 CFR 982.507.

Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited processing of recipient requests to waive the FMR-based limitation in 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1), so that a recipient can provide rental assistance to program participants in units that are above FMR, so long as the rent is reasonable when compared to other similar unassisted units. However, to be considered for expedited processing, the waiver request must specify the period during which the recipient needs to house program participants using this flexibility, and that period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023, although the recipient may request that the waiver remain applicable to any unit in which a program participant is assisted during that time period may continue to benefit from this waiver through until the earlier of the end of the program participant's otherwise allowable term of assistance or the end of the period of performance/approved budget period(s) for the recipient's grant(s) covered by the waiver.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing-Federal Housing Administration (FHA)

For further information about the following regulatory waivers, please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the description of the waiver granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 203.604 Contact with the Mortgagor.

Project/Activity: Temporary, Partial Waiver of Servicing Mortgagee's Responsibility to Contact Mortgagor in Person.

Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 203.604 Contact with the Mortgagor, under Mortgagee Actions under Subpart C- Servicing Responsibilities of 24 CFR part 203 Single Family Insurance, requires mortgagees to have a face-to-face interview with the mortgagor, or make a reasonable effort to arrange such a meeting, before three full monthly installments due on the mortgage are unpaid. If default occurs in a repayment plan arranged other than during a personal interview, the mortgagee must have a face-to-face meeting the mortgagor, or make a reasonable attempt to arrange such a meeting within 30 days after such default and at least 30 days before foreclosure is commenced, or at least 30 days before assignment is requested if the mortgage is insured on Hawaiian home land pursuant to section 247 or Indian land pursuant to section 248 or if assignment is requested under §?203.350(d) for mortgages authorized by section 203(q) of the National Housing Act.

Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant Secretary for Housing-FHA Commissioner.

Date Granted: December 19, 2022.

Reason Waived: HUD's servicing requirement for FHA-insured forward mortgages requires that a mortgagee conduct a face-to-face interview with the borrower, which is not practical given the public health recommendations being disseminated by local, state, and federal government agencies to limit contact between individuals, in order to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus and its variants. HUD recognizes that, beyond government recommendations, there is public concern about possible transmission of COVID-19 from in-person contact, and that mortgagees and borrowers may be hesitant to meet in-person. FHA-approved mortgagees have been able to successfully establish contact with borrowers through alternate methods, gather and convey required information, and determine the borrower's circumstances and appropriate repayment plans, as required by 24 CFR 203.604, without a face-to-face interview. The waiver was granted to protect the public health while ensuring delinquent borrowers were provided the opportunity to learn about options available to bring their mortgages current.

Contact: Graham Mayfield, Acting Director, Office of Single Family Asset Management, Office of Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 9172, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-2826, Graham.B.Mayfield@hud.gov.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995) "Payment and Repayment of Operating Assistance" of the Federal Housing Administration's (FHA) regulations".

Project/Activity: Redeemers Arms aka Dale Street Place FHA No. 092-SH017T.

Nature of Requirement: That provision sets forth the requirements that govern the repayment of operating assistance under the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects and states "Assistance that has been paid to a project owner under this subpart must be repaid at the earlier of the expiration of the term of the mortgage, termination of mortgage insurance, prepayment of the mortgage, or sale of the project."

Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing Commissioner.

Date Granted: December 15, 2022.

Reason Waived: The regulation at 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995) was waived to permit the deferment of the outstanding balance of the Flexible Subsidy Loans, plus accrued interest, for Redeemers Arms aka Dale Street Place, and permit the Owner to repay the loans through a repayment plan. The waiver allowed the owner to refinance the property in order to complete much needed rehabilitation.

Contact: Saadia Figueroa-Smallwood, Office of Housing, 400 W Bay Street, Room 1015, Jacksonville, FL 32202, telephone (904) 208-6026, email: Saadia.E.Figueroa-Smallwood@hud.gov.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Public and Indian Housing

For further information about the following regulatory waivers, please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the description of the waiver granted.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161 (a).

Project/Activity: Morgan Metropolitan Housing Authority's request to waive HCV regulation stating any present or former member/officer of PHA may not have any direct or indirect interest in the HAP contract.

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161 (a) allows HUD to evaluate good cause on a case-by-case basis based primarily (though not exclusively) on the needs of assisted families directly affected by removal of the units in question from the affordable housing inventory in a rural area without expansive amounts of other rental housing available.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: October 5, 2022.

Reason Waived: In May of 2022, the former Executive Director of MMHA, Ms. Haley Hook, discovered that she would be violating Section 13 of HUD Form 5264 by allowing her husband to participate as a landlord in MMHA's housing programs; she subsequently resigned. Upon resignation, her spouse (Mr. John Patterson) would like to continue participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program as a landlord without waiting the one-year period outlined in Section 13 of the HAP contract and §?982.161(a). Mr. Patterson currently serves five clients through MMHA's Housing Choice Voucher program. MMHA has stated that Mr. Patterson's participation is essential to this PHA because Morgan County substantially lacks available, affordable housing and the participation of landlords. MMHA is a small rural housing authority located in southeastern Ohio. MMHA has also represented that terminating the HAP contracts would result in an undue burden on the five HCV participants living in an area where it would be difficult to locate and obtain other HCV eligible units.

• Regulation: SEMAP 24 CFR 985.101 (a).

Project/Activity: Irvington HA requests a waiver of 24 CFR 985.101 submission of the SEMAP certification form within 60 days after the FYE: 3/31/2022.

Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60 calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal year ended on March 31, 2022; the SEMAP certification was due on or before May 30, 2022.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: October 10, 2022.

Reason Waived: On April 5, 2022, the Irvington Housing Authority went into receivership. The Interim Executive Director resigned around the end of May 2022, which disrupted the agency's operations including the submission of the SEMAP certification in a timely manner. IHA has a new staff member ready to submit upon approval and plans to train an additional person to serve as backup to prevent further interruptions.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.

Project/Activity: Pursuant to 24 CFR?5.110, the Pender County Housing Authority (PCHA), NC173, requests a waiver of the federal regulations within 24 CFR?983 that outline requirements for selection of a project-based voucher proposal, selection procedures for PHA-owned units, as well as restrictions on the term of a resulting HAP Contract.

Nature of Requirement: Based on the request, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has identified the following regulations necessitating a waiver: 24 CFR 983.51, which provides for owner proposal selection procedures; and 24 CFR 983.59(a), which provides for selection procedures for public housing authority (PHA) owned units in accordance with 24 CFR 983.51(e).

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: November 1, 2022.

Reason Waived: In December 2009, the PBC assistance was renewed and converted under a ten-year PBV HAP contract, covering the term of 2009-2019, however, this contract expired under a former Executive Director, and the expired HAP contract was identified during a recent Calculation of HAP, Adjusted Income and Rent (CHAIR) Review, conducted by Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Quality Assurance Division (QAD). The PHCA would like to provide PBV assistance to the units, notwithstanding the contract's expiration. This requires a waiver of the regulatory requirements specified in the first paragraph of this letter regarding project selection. It further requires the PHCA to determined that all other PBV statutory and regulatory requirements are met regarding the PBV program. The apartments meet the definition of PHA-owned and in 2011, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was executed between PCHA and the Wilmington Housing Authority (WHA) for WHA to conduct HQS inspections for the units. Additionally, PCHA has been informed that additional efforts will be necessary to bring the program into compliance for PHA-owned units, and PCHA must execute agreements for all PBV functions to be performed by an Independent Entity. Further, PCHA has been advised that its administrative plan must be updated to ensure all appropriate policies and provisions for administration of the PBV program.

Project/Activity: Regional Housing Authority (RHA-CA048) requests waiver of the Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) regulation, 24 CFR 985.101(a)

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: November 10, 2022.

Reason Waived: On May 31, 2022, the RHA attempted to submit its SEMAP certification but was denied access due to late submission. You stated that your agency was going through its financial audit the week prior to the submission deadline. As a result, the staff was unavailable to submit the SEMAP certification due to their time being occupied by the auditors. In addition, you mentioned that the office was closed for Memorial Day on May 30, 2022, and that the COVID-19 pandemic caused staff shortage (which also contributed to the late submission).

• Regulation: HCV Regulations at 24 CFR 982.

Project/Activity: Allegheny County Housing Authority (ACHA).

Nature of Requirement: The ACHA seeks exception 24 CFR 982.503(C)(3) which would allow the HA to adopt payment standards about 120 percent of the Small Area Fair Market Rent. ACHA asserts this approval is necessary to prevent financial hardship for families as current payment standards in high priority neighborhoods are not adequate, and families that move under the HUD demonstration would otherwise experience significant rent burdens.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: November 30, 2022.

Reason Waived: ACHA has provided good cause for waiving 24 CFR 982.503(b)(1)(iv). In order to achieve the goals of the Community Choice Demonstration, and to provide access to low-poverty neighborhoods for families in their voucher program, ACHA needs to establish exception payment standards over 110 percent of the SAFMR, where justified by statistically representative housing survey data.

• Regulation: CFR 982.517(b)(1) and 24 CFR 983.301(f)(2)(ii).

Project/Activity: The Housing Commission of Talbot (HCT).

Nature of Requirement: The Housing Commission of Talbot (HCT), has submitted a request to waive 24 CFR 982.517(b)(1) and 24 CFR 983.301(f)(2)(ii), which require that the utility schedule be determined based on the typical cost of utilities and services paid by energy conservative households that occupy housing of a similar size and type in the same locality, and prohibits PHAs from establishing or applying different utility allowance amounts for the PBV program as the same utility allowance schedule applies to both tenant-based vouchers and project-based vouchers. For HUD to consider such a waiver, the public housing agency (PHA) should submit: (a) an analysis of utility rates for the community; (b) an estimate of energy consumption that will take place at the newly constructed site; and (c) a proposed alternative methodology for calculating utility allowances on an ongoing basis.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: November 30, 2022.

Reason Waived: The information submitted to HUD by HCT supports its request. The HCT has submitted an analysis of utility rates for the community andan estimate of the energy consumption that will take place at the newly constructed site. Due to the energy efficient systems being built at the Doverbrook Apartments, the community consumption estimates are significantly higher than the consumption expected at the site. Therefore, since HCT has demonstrated that the utility allowance provided under the HCV program would discourage conservation and ultimately lead to inefficient use of HAP funds at the Doverbrook Apartments, I have determined that there is good cause to waive 24 CFR 983.301(f)(2)(ii) and 24 CFR 982.517.

Project/Activity: Municipal Housing Agency of Council Bluff's requests approval for SEMAP late submitter waiver pursuant to the 60 day submission rule codified in 24 CFR 985.

Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60 calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal year ended on December 31, 2021; the SEMAP certification was due on or before March 1, 2022.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 5, 2022.

Reason Waived: On February 25, 2022, the MHACB submitted its SEMAP on time but failed to complete the online certification due to difficulty entering the data into the PIC system. The agency's request states that they experienced challenges due to their SEMAP contact being new to the process and that they made efforts to reach out to HUD to address the issue.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161(a).

Project/Activity: any employee of the public housing authority (PHA) who formulates policy or who influences decisions with respect to the programs, may not have any direct or indirect interest in the housing assistance program (HAP) contract or in any benefits or payments under the contract during tenure or one year thereafter.

Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161(c), and the HAP contract, allows the conflict of interest to be waived by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for good cause.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 14, 2022.

Reason Waived: Upon resignation, Mr. Hankerson would like to continue participating in the HCV program as a landlord without waiting the one-year period outlined in Section 13 of the HAP contract and §?982.161(a). OHA has stated that Mr. Hankerson's participation is essential because the city of Oakland's housing supply is extremely limited and terminating the HAP contracts would result in the unfair displacement of the two HCV participants living in an area where it would be difficult to locate and obtain other HCV eligible units.

[top] • Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161(a).

Project/Activity: Carbondale Housing Authority's (CHA) request for waiver of Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) regulations at 24 CFR 982.161(a), which states, in part, that any public official, member of a governing body, or State or local legislator who exercises functions or responsibilities with respect to the programs, may not have any direct or indirect interest in the housing assistance program (HAP) contract or in any benefits or payments under the contract during tenure or one year thereafter.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 14, 2022.

Reason Waived: Per the request, Mr. Justin Taylor, Mayor of Carbondale, owns the unit where Mr. Jerry Thomas currently resides (and was living) when he was issued a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) in February of 2022. CHA became aware of the conflict in March of 2022 (after the HAP was executed) and when Mayor Taylor informed their HCV coordinator of the situation. At the time the voucher was issued, the HCV coordinator was unaware of a potential conflict, as the rental property was listed in Mayor Taylor's business name. As Mayor, Mr. Taylor recommends candidates to serve on the board of the CHA, the city council approves the appointments, and the mayor does not have any functions or duties related to the administration of the HCV program.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 22, 2022.

Reason Waived: CMHA exerts that its contracted auditor, Plante & Moran, PLLC, amended its contract due date to the auditor's staffing issues. The amended agreement due date is after the HUD submission due date and will cause CMHA to receive an LPF and zero points in the FASS scoring. This situation is beyond the control of the authority. In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend the submission due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason provided is considered good cause for a waiver. The circumstance preventing the Agency from submitting its audited financial information on time is acceptable. Therefore, CMHA is granted an additional sixty days from the extended due date of September 30, 2022. CMHA has until November 30, 2022, to complete and submit its FYE June 30, 2021, audited financial information to the Department.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 22, 2022.

Reason Waived: SHA seeks to be waived from its FYE September 30, 2021, audited financial reporting requirements, pursuant to 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). SHA contends their previous auditor terminated their working relationship, which forced SHA to submit a Request for Proposal (RFP) to seek a new firm to handle both the ongoing 2020 and 2021 audits. COVID delayed this process and both the new auditing firm and SHA experienced difficulties completing the audits from scratch even with the extended deadlines. The new firm has only just begun engaging SHA in completing the 2021 audit. The circumstances preventing the Agency from submitting its audited financial information on time is acceptable. Accordingly, the Agency is granting a submission due date of September 30, 2022, to complete and submit its audited financial statements to the Department for FYE September 30, 2021.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 22, 2022.

Reason Waived: AMHA seeks to be waived from its fiscal year end (FYE) December 31, 2021, audited financial reporting requirements according to 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). AMHA stated their office is within a high-risk COVID area due to extended sick leave, and recovery times have severely affected their operations. As a small PHA with twelve employees, having multiple employees with COVID simultaneously has caused a hardship for AMHA to maintain its daily operation and provide information for the IPA audit. In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend the submission due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason provided is considered good cause for a waiver. The circumstance preventing the Agency from submitting its audited financial information on time is acceptable. Therefore, the AMHA is granted an additional sixty days from the extended due date of September 30, 2022. The AMHA has until November 30, 2022, to complete and submit its FYE December 31, 2021, audited financial information to the Department.

Reason Waived: For WCHA's fiscal year ending on September 30, 2020, and its fiscal year ending on September 30, 2021, WCHA seeks to be waived from its FYE audited financial reporting requirements, pursuant to 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). The WCHA's former executive director was unresponsive for several months and resigned her position after the Wilna Housing Authority (WHA), a neighboring housing authority, intervened to engage WCHA's board. WCHA is now under an interagency agreement with WHA. The circumstances preventing the Agency from submitting its audited financial statements on time is acceptable. Accordingly, the Agency is granting a submission due date of December 31, 2022, to complete and submit its audited financial statements to the Department for FYE September 30, 2020, and September 30, 2021.

Contact: Laura Philbert, Housing Programs Specialist, Office of Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202-475-8930.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).

Project/Activity: Mobile Housing Authority (AL002).

[top] Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal year end FYE December 31, 2021, in

accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133.

Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: December 22, 2022.

Reason Waived: The Agency contends that it has incurred some challenges due to circumstances beyond its control, such as a lack of financial staff and management changes that resulted in incomplete accounting records that impacted the auditor's ability to reconcile and evaluate prior years' financials. The Agency contends their Finance Department experienced significant turnovers in 2018, 2019, and 2020, including the Chief Executive, the retirement of the long-tenured Chief Financial Officer, the Deputy Controller, and two Senior Accountants. The Agency contends their financial contractor found several account balances inaccurate, and certain records and data to substantiate these balances are stored in various locations. The Agency claims they encountered issues during the procurement process to ensure procuring a qualified auditor that could adequately audit their financial data. The Agency contends the loss of various personnel challenges has impacted their ability to move forward with the audit as planned. The Agency requests a waiver to extend the due date for the Audited FDS Submission for FYE to December 31, 2021, with a reporting date of September 30, 2022. In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend the submission due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason provided is considered good cause for a waiver. Accordingly, the Agency has been granted an extended due date to February 20, 2023.

Contact: Laura Philbert, Housing Programs Specialist, Office of Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410, telephone 202-475-8930.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(4) Increase in Payment Standard During Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract Term.

Project/Activity: Notice PIH 2022-30 Extension of Certain Regulatory Waivers for the Housing Choice Voucher (including Mainstream) Program and Streamlined Review Process.

Nature of Requirement: PHAs may request an extension of the option to increase the payment standard for the family at any time after the effective date of the increase, rather than waiting for the next regular reexamination.

Reason Waived: Extension for PHAs that were granted to the opportunity to apply for certain regulatory waivers that were originally offered as part of the CARES Act waivers in Notice PIH 2021-14 to provide continued flexibility during the pandemic and pandemic recovery. HUD expeditiously responded to these waiver request in accordance with Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989.

Granted by: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant for Public and Indian Housing.

Date Granted: October 1, 2022-December 31, 2022.
