Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
modifications of the Section 8 renewal
policy and recent legislation are
implemented to address the essential
requirement to preserving low income
rental housing affordability and
availability. The Section 8 Renewal
Policy Guide will include recent
legislation modifications for renewing of
expiring Section 8 policy(ies)
Guidebook, as authorized by the 24 CFR
part 401 and 24 CFR part 402. The
Multifamily Housing Reform and
Affordability Act of 1997 (MAHRA) for
Fiscal Year 1998 (Pub. L. 105–65,
enacted on October 27, 1997), required
that expiring Section 8 project-based
assistance contracts be renewed under
MAHRA. Established in the MAHRA
policies renewal of Section 8 projectbased contracts rent is based on market
rents instead of the Fair Market Rent
(FMR) standard.
MAHRA renewals submission should
include a Rent Comparability Study
(RCS). If the RCS indicated rents were
at or below comparable market rents,
the contract was renewed at current
rents adjusted by Operating Cost
Adjustment Factor (OCAF), unless the
Owner submitted documentation
justifying a budget-based rent increase
or participation in Mark-Up-To-Market.
The case is that no renewal rents could
exceed comparable market rents. If the
RCS indicated rents were above
comparable market rents, the contract
was referred to the Office of Affordable
Housing Preservation (OAHP) for debt
restructuring and/or rent reduction. The
Preserving Affordable Housing for
Senior Citizens and Families in to the
21st Century Act of 1999 (public law
106–74, enacted on October 20, 1999),
modified MAHRA.
The Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide
sets forth six renewal options from
which a project owner may choose
when renewing their expiring Section 8
contract: Option One—Mark-Up-ToMarket, Option Two—Other Contract
Renewal with Current Rents at or Below
Comparable Market Rents, Option
Three—Referral to the Office of
Affordable Preservation (OAHP), Option

and Option Six—Opt Outs. Owners
should select one of six options which
are applicable to their project and

annual basis to renew contract.
The Section 8 Renewal Guide sets

contracts. Option One (Mark-Up-ToMarket), Option Two (Other Contract
