e.

Term of the HAP contract

1.

Beginning of Term

.

The PHA may not enter into a HAP contract for any contract unit until the PHA has
determined that the unit complies with the housing quality standards. The term of the
HAP contract for any unit begins on the effective date of the HAP contract.

2.

Length of initial term

a.

Subject to paragraph 2.b, the initial term of the HAP contract for any contract units is:
____________________________.

b.

The initial term of the HAP contract for any unit may not be less than one year, nor more
than fifteen years.

3.

Extension of term
The PHA and owner may agree to enter into an extension of the HAP contract at the time
of initial HAP contract execution or any time prior to expiration of the contract. Any
extension, including the term of such extension, must be in accordance with HUD
requirements.
A PHA must determine that any extension is appropriate to achieve long-term
affordability of the housing or expand housing opportunities.

4.

Requirement for sufficient appropriated funding

a.

The length of the initial term and any extension term shall be subject to availability, as
determined by HUD, or by the PHA in accordance with HUD requirements, of sufficient
appropriated funding (budget authority), as provided in appropriations acts and in the
PHA's annual contributions contract (ACC) with HUD, to make full payment of housing
assistance payments due to the owner for any contract year in accordance with the HAP
contract.

b.

The availability of sufficient funding must be determined by HUD or by the PHA in
accordance with HUD requirements. If it is determined that there may not be sufficient
funding to continue housing assistance payments for all contract units and for the full
term of the HAP contract, the PHA has the right to terminate the HAP contract by notice
to the owner for all or any of the contract units. Such action by the PHA shall be
implemented in accordance with HUD requirements.

f.

Occupancy and payment

1.

Payment for occupied unit
During the term of the HAP contract, the PHA shall make housing assistance payments
to the owner for the months during which a contract unit is leased to and occupied by an
eligible family. If an assisted family moves out of a contract unit, the owner may keep
the housing assistance payment for the calendar month when the family moves out
(“move-out month”). However, the owner may not keep the payment if the PHA
determines that the vacancy is the owner’s fault.

2.

Vacancy payment

THE PHA HAS DISCRETION WHETHER TO INCLUDE THE VACANCY PAYMENT
PROVISION (PARAGRAPH f.2), OR TO STRIKE THIS PROVISION FROM THE HAP
CONTRACT FORM.
a.

If an assisted family moves out of a contract unit, the PHA may provide vacancy
payments to the owner for a PHA-determined vacancy period extending from the
beginning of the first calendar month after the move-out month for a period not
exceeding two full months following the move-out month.

b.

The vacancy payment to the owner for each month of the maximum two-month period
will be determined by the PHA, and cannot exceed the monthly rent to owner under the
assisted lease, minus any portion of the rental payment received by the owner (including
amounts available from the tenant’s security deposit). Any vacancy payment may only
cover the period the unit remains vacant.

c.

The PHA may only make vacancy payments to the owner if:
1.

The owner gives the PHA prompt, written notice certifying that the family has
vacated the unit and the date when the family moved out (to the best of the
owner’s knowledge and belief);

2.

The owner certifies that the vacancy is not the fault of the owner and that the unit
was vacant during the period for which payment is claimed;

3.

The owner certifies that it has taken every reasonable action to minimize the
likelihood and length of vacancy; and

4.

The owner provides any additional information required and requested by the
PHA to verify that the owner is entitled to the vacancy payment.

d.

The PHA must take every reasonable action to minimize the likelihood and length of
vacancy.

e.

The owner may refer families to the PHA, and recommend selection of such families
from the PHA waiting list for occupancy of vacant units.

f.

The owner must submit a request for vacancy payments in the form and manner required
by the PHA and must provide any information or substantiation required by the PHA to
determine the amount of any vacancy payments.

3.

PHA is not responsible for family damage or debt to owner
Except as provided in this paragraph f (Occupancy and Payment), the PHA will not make
any other payment to the owner under the HAP contract. The PHA will not make any
payment to owner for any damages to the unit, or for any other amounts owed by a
family under the family's lease.

g.

Income-mixing requirement

1.

Except as provided in paragraphs g.2 and 3, the PHA will not make housing assistance
payments under the HAP contract for more than 25 percent of the total number of
dwelling units (assisted or unassisted) in any project. The term “project” means a single
building, multiple contiguous buildings, or multiple buildings on contiguous parcels of
land assisted under this HAP contract.

2.

The limitation in paragraph g.1 does not apply to single-family buildings.

3.

In referring eligible families to the owner for admission to the number of contract units in
any project exceeding the 25 percent limitation under paragraph g.1, the PHA shall give
preference to elderly or disabled families, or to families receiving supportive services, for
the number of contract units designated for occupancy by such families. The owner shall
rent the designated number of contract units to such families referred by the PHA from
the PHA waiting list.

4.

The PHA and owner must comply with all HUD requirements regarding income mixing.
