Project No.

I am requesting to renew the above Section 8 contract(s) under Option 2 of the Section 8 Renewal Policy Guidebook using 90% of SAFMRs (or FMRs if the project is not in a SAFMR area) as a market rent ceiling instead of performing a Rent Comparability Study. I believe both the current and proposed Section 8 rents are below market rents for similar units in the Section 8 project’s market area.

SAFMRs/FMRs used below are from the FMR schedule published on _______ (mm/dd/yyyy) for ______________, the ZIP code, county, or MSA in which the project is located. Proposed rents were calculated using the OCAF/budget procedures from Chapter 4 of the Section 8 Renewal Policy Guidebook. The OCAF/ budget worksheet is attached. (Complete columns 1 through 4, then make calculations as indicated.)
