These funds may be used for planning and other costs associated with developing and operating the Section 811 PRA program, including infrastructure and technology needed to operate the program and costs incurred after applicant’s receipt of an Award Letter from HUD and before the execution of the Cooperative Agreement. The costs can include both direct and indirect costs. If a Grantee includes administrative costs in their budget as a direct cost, they cannot charge these costs as part of their indirect cost rate as well, and should instruct their auditor or the government auditor setting the rate of the availability and use of the administrative costs as described in the NOFO.

14. Extremely Low-Income means annual income which does not exceed thirty percent of the median income for the area, as determined by HUD, with adjustments for smaller and larger families, except that HUD may establish income ceilings higher or lower than thirty percent of the median income for the area if HUD finds that such variations are necessary because of unusually high or low family incomes.

A person infected with the human acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and a person who suffers from alcoholism or drug addiction, provided they meet the definition of "person with disabilities” in 42 U.S.C. § 8013(k)(2).

A person whose sole impairment is a diagnosis of HIV positive or alcoholism or drug addiction (i.e., does not meet the qualifying criteria in section 811 (42 U.S.C. § 8013(k)(2)) will not be eligible for occupancy in an Assisted Unit.

The definition of Persons with Disabilities is different for civil rights purposes. For civil rights protections, Persons with Disabilities shall have the meaning provided in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (24 CFR § 8.3), the Fair Housing Act (24 CFR § 100.201), and the Americans with Disabilities Act (28 CFR § 35.108).

22. Program Requirements means NAHA, the statutory requirements under a successor program, the NOFO, and any requirements that may be required by HUD, including but not limited to regulations, and administrative requirements that may be in the form of notices, handbooks, or guidebooks, as may be amended from time to time.
    
    

23. Rental Assistance Payments means the payment made by Grantee or Contract Administrator to the Owner, as provided in the Rental Assistance Contract. Where the Assisted Unit is leased to an Eligible Tenants, the payment is the difference between the Contract Rent and the Tenant Rent. An additional payment is made to or on behalf of the Eligible Tenant when the Utility Allowance is greater than the total tenant payment. A vacancy payment may be made to the Owner when an Assisted Unit is vacant, in accordance with the Rental Assistance Contract and Program Requirements.

24. Rental Assistance Contract (RAC) is the contract (form HUD-92235-PRA and form HUD-92237-PRA), as prescribed by HUD, between Grantee and the owner of the property which sets forth the rights and duties of the parties with respect to the assisted units in the property.
    
    

25. Target Population means the specific group or groups of Eligible Applicants and Tenants

described in Grantee’s Inter-Agency Partnership Agreement who are intended to be

solely served or to be prioritized under Grantee’s Program.

27. Total Tenant Payment as defined in 24 CFR part 5.

28. Utility Allowance has the same meaning as defined in 24 CFR part 5.

29. National Standards for the Physical Inspection of Real Estate (NSPIRE). The NSPIRE model prioritizes health, safety, and functional defects over appearance. It implements inspections that better reflect the true physical conditions of the property. The NSPIRE model supports the adoption of sound, year-round maintenance practices. The NSPIRE final rule establishes a new approach to defining and assessing housing quality called the NSPIRE. NSPIRE strengthens HUD’s physical condition standards and improves HUD oversight by aligning and consolidating the inspection regulations used to evaluate “HUD housing” as defined in 24 CFR 5.701(c), across multiple programs. Implementation of the NSPIRE final rule ensures that residents of HUD housing live in safe, habitable dwellings. It also ensures that the items and components located both inside and outside, and within the units of HUD housing are functionally adequate, operable, and free of health and safety hazards.
