17.c. Housing Development Programs
Activity Categories ......

17.c. Housing Development Programs—Programs that use MTW funds to acquire, renovate and/or build affordable
units for low-income families that are not public housing units. Eligible activities may include: Gap financing for nonPHA development of affordable housing or tax credit partnerships.

Statutes and Regulations Waived.

Local, Non-Traditional Activities: MTW funds awarded to an MTW agency under sections 8(o), 9(d), and 9(e) of the
1937 Act can be utilized per statute and regulation for the eligible activities listed at Sections 8(o), 9(d)(1), and 9(e)(1)
of the 1937 Act. Any authorized use of these funds outside of the allowable uses listed in the 1937 Act constitutes a
local, non-traditional activity.

Safe Harbor(s) ............

17.c.
• Agency must comply with Section 30 of the 1937 Housing Act.
• The agency is subject to Notice PIH 2011–45 or any successor notice and/or guidance.
• Agency may spend up to 10% of its MTW budget on local, non-traditional actives. All other applicable MTW requirements apply.

1 In the HCV tenant-based program, the housing assistance payment (HAP) is the lower of: (1) The payment standard minus the family’s TTP,
or (2) the gross rent minus the TTP. The TTP is the minimum amount the family will pay as the family share. If the gross rent exceeds the payment standard, the family will pay TTP and the difference between the gross rent and the payment standard as the family share. In the HCV
project-based program, the family always pays TTP minus any utility allowance (UA) as the tenant rent.

* Impact Analysis
The MTW agency must analyze and put
into the writing the various impacts of the
MTW activity. The MTW agency must
prepare this analysis (1) prior to
implementation of the MTW activity; (2) at
minimum, on an annual basis during the
implementation of the MTW activity; and (3)
at the time the MTW activity is closed out.
This analysis must consider the following
eight factors:
1. Impact on the agency’s finances (e.g.,
how much will the activity cost, any change
in the agency’s per family contribution);
2. Impact on affordability of housing costs
for affected families (e.g., any change in how
much affected families will pay towards their
housing costs);
3. Impact on the agency’s waitlist(s) (e.g.,
any change in the amount of time families are
on the waitlist);
4. Impact on the agency’s termination rate
of families (e.g., the rate at which families
non-voluntarily lose assistance from the
agency);
5. Impact on the agency’s current
occupancy level in public housing and
utilization rate in the HCV program;
6. Impact on the agency’s ability to meet
the MTW statutory requirements;
7. Impact on the community (e.g., any
change in the number of families
transitioning to self-sufficiency, and any
change in the employment rate after the
implementation of activities targeted towards
working families); and
8. Across the other factors above, the
impact on protected classes (and any
associated disparate impact).
The MTW agency must have the initial
impact analysis, which analyzes potential

that goes beyond Section 8 or Section 9 as modified
by MTW may propose an activity under the Local
Non-Traditional Activities Rental Subsidy Program

20 As agencies are considering potential waivers
to the FSS program, they are encouraged to consult
the Promising Practices Guidebook and Online
Training that can be found at https://

available to review and provide feedback on

impacts of the MTW activity, available
during the applicable public review period
prior to implementation of the MTW activity.
The agency must supply the annual impact
analysis and/or the final impact analysis of
the closed-out activity (if applicable), which
analyzes actual impact of the MTW activity,
at HUD’s request. This information must be
retained by the agency for the duration of the
agency’s participation in the MTW
demonstration program and available for
public review and inspection at the agency’s
principal office during normal business
hours.
** Elderly/Disabled Families
The MTW activity must not apply to
elderly families and disabled families as
defined in 24 CFR 5.403 or the MTW
agency’s approved definition under its MTW
program.
*** Hardship Policy
The MTW agency must adopt written
policies for determining when a requirement
or provision of the MTW activity constitutes
a financial or other hardship for the family.
The agency shall make the determination
of whether a financial or other hardship
exists within a reasonable time after the
family request. If the agency determines that
a financial or other hardship exists, the PHA
must immediately provide an exemption
from the MTW activity at a reasonable level
and duration, according to the agency’s
written policies. Residents must be notified
of the agency’s hardship policy.
The agency’s written policies for
determining what constitutes financial
hardship must include the following
situations:
• The family has experienced a decrease in
income because of changed circumstances,
including loss or reduction of employment,
death in the family, or reduction in or loss
of earnings or other assistance;
• The family has experienced an increase
in expenses, because of changed
circumstances, for medical costs, child care,
transportation, education, or similar items;
and
• Such other situations and factors
determined by the agency to be appropriate.
The agency’s written policies shall include
a grievance procedure that a family may

request for second level review of denied
hardship requests.
The agency shall keep records of all
hardship requests received and the results of
these requests, and supply them at HUD’s
request. This information must be retained by
the agency for the duration of the agency’s
participation in the MTW program and
available for public review and inspection at
the agency’s principal office during normal
business hours.
The protections for victims of domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking in 24 CFR part 5, subpart L, apply.
The protections for persons requesting a
reasonable accommodation under 24 CFR
part 8 also apply.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
USGS, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
provide the general public and other
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information.
This helps us assess the impact of our
information collection requirements and
minimize the public’s reporting burden.
It also helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on June 21,
2018 (FR 83, Number 120, Pages 28860–
28861). We did receive one comment
but the comment did not address the
collection of information on breeding
birds.
We are again soliciting comments on
the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
USGS; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the USGS enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the USGS minimize the burden of
this collection on the respondents,
including through the use of
information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you

information from public review, we

American bird species. The survey data,
resulting population trend estimates,
and relative abundance estimates will

through special publications, for use by
Government agencies, industry,
education programs, and the general
public. We will protect information
from respondents considered
proprietary under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its’
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2), and under regulations at 30 CFR
250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be

limited inspection.’’ Responses are
voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’
nature are asked.
