SUMMARY: Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development
Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform Act) requires HUD to publish
quarterly Federal Register notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD
has approved. Each notice covers the quarterly period since the
previous Federal Register notice. The purpose of this notice is to
comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This
notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the
period beginning on July 1, 2009 and ending on September 30, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this
notice, contact Camille E. Acevedo, Associate General Counsel for
Legislation and Regulations, Office of General Counsel, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW., Room 10282,
Washington, DC 20410-0500, telephone 202-708-1793 (this is not a toll-
free number). Persons with hearing- or speech-impairments may access

For information concerning a particular waiver that was granted and
for which public notice is provided in this document, contact the
person whose name and address follow the description of the waiver
granted in the accompanying list of waivers that have been granted in
the third quarter of calendar year 2009.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act added a new section 7(q) to the
Department of Housing and Urban Development Act (42 U.S.C. 3535(q)),
which provides that:
1. Any waiver of a regulation must be in writing and must specify
the grounds for approving the waiver;
2. Authority to approve a waiver of a regulation may be delegated
by the Secretary only to an individual of Assistant Secretary or
equivalent rank, and the person to whom authority to waive is delegated
must also have authority to issue the particular regulation to be
waived;
3. Not less than quarterly, the Secretary must notify the public of
all waivers of regulations that HUD has approved, by publishing a
notice in the Federal Register. These notices (each covering the period
since the most recent previous notification) shall:
a. Identify the project, activity, or undertaking involved;
b. Describe the nature of the provision waived and the designation
of the provision;
c. Indicate the name and title of the person who granted the waiver
request;
d. Describe briefly the grounds for approval of the request; and
e. State how additional information about a particular waiver may
be obtained.
Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act also contains requirements
applicable to waivers of HUD handbook provisions that are not relevant
to the purpose of this notice.
This notice follows procedures provided in HUD's Statement of
Policy on Waiver of Regulations and Directives issued on April 22, 1991
(56 FR 16337), as revised and updated by the notice issued on December
17, 2008 (73 FR 76674). In accordance with those procedures and with
the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act, waivers of
regulations are granted by the Assistant Secretary with jurisdiction
over the regulations for which a waiver was requested. In those cases
in which a General Deputy Assistant Secretary granted the waiver, the
General Deputy Assistant Secretary was serving in the absence of the
Assistant Secretary in accordance with the office's Order of
Succession.
This notice covers waivers of regulations granted by HUD from July
1, 2009 through September 30, 2009. For ease of reference, the waivers
granted by HUD are listed by HUD program office (for example, the
Office of Community Planning and Development, the Office of Fair
Housing and Equal Opportunity, the Office of Housing, and the Office of
Public and Indian Housing, etc.). Within each program office grouping,
the waivers are listed sequentially by the regulatory section of title
24 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that is being waived. For
example, a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 58 would be listed
before a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 570.
Where more than one regulatory provision is involved in the grant
of a particular waiver request, the action is listed under the section
number of the first regulatory requirement that appears in 24 CFR and
that is being waived. For example, a waiver of both Sec. 58.73 and
Sec. 58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under Sec. 58.73.
Waiver of regulations that involve the same initial regulatory
citation are in time sequence beginning with the earliest-dated
regulatory waiver.
Should HUD receive additional information about waivers granted
during the period covered by this report (the third quarter of calendar
year 2009) before the next report is published (the fourth quarter of
calendar year 2009), HUD will include any additional waivers granted
for the second quarter in the next report.
Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this
notice.
Dated: December 23, 2009.
Helen R. Kanovsky,
General Counsel.

Project/Activity: The City of Port Arthur, Texas requested a waiver
of its June 30, 2009, deadline for expending more than $31,000 of HOME
Investment Partnerships program funds. Disruptions caused by hurricanes
Rita and Ike caused delays in committing and expending HOME funds.
Nature of Requirement: The HOME regulations at 24 CFR
92.500(d)(1)(C) require that a participating jurisdiction (PJ) expend
its annual allocation of HOME funds within five years after HUD
notifies the PJ that HUD has
[[Page 69469]]
executed the jurisdiction's HOME Investment Partnerships Agreement.
Granted By: Mercedes M. M[aacute]rquez, Assistant Secretary for
Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: September 25, 2009.
Reason Waived: The waiver of the City's FY 2004 HOME expenditure
deadline ensures that funds necessary for recovery from two major
disasters are not deobligated.

Regulation: Notice of Allocations, Application Procedures,
and Requirements for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing
Program Grantees under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Recovery Act), issued March 19, 2009 (HPRP Notice).
Project/Activity: Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing
Program (HPRP) grantee, the City of Jamestown, New York, requested a
waiver of the application deadline.
Nature of Requirement: Section IV.E.3 of the HPRP Notice provides
that each eligible HPRP grantee must ensure that its complete
application is postmarked no later than May 18, 2009, in order to
receive funding.
Granted By: Nelson R. Bregon, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Community and Planning Development.
Date Granted: June 25, 2009.
Reason Waived: HUD approved the waiver because an extension of the
application deadline would enable the City of Jamestown to fully
develop an HPRP program by involving the local Continuum of Care
partners through the Chautauqua County Homeless Coalition and providing
adequate notice and opportunity for citizen participation in finalizing
the Substantial Amendment.

Granted By: Nelson R. Bregon, General Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Community Planning Development.
Date Granted: June 25, 2009.
Reason Waived: Due to a recent reorganization of the City's
Community Development Department, the City was unable to submit a
Substantial Amendment to its 2008 Consolidated Action Plan by May 18,
2009, deadline. HUD approved this waiver because the need for the
waiver was due to an unavoidable administrative barrier. The City hand-
delivered its Amendment to the local Field Office on May 19, 2009.

Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of

of the application deadline.

Granted By: Mercedes Marquez, Assistant Secretary of Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: July 27, 2009.
Reason Waived: HUD presented additional clarifications on the HPRP
program during the time the State held its public comment period for
its Substantial Amendment. In response to HUD clarifications, the State
initiated modifications to its Substantial Amendment and invited public
comments on its modified Amendment. The State requested an extension of
the submission deadline in order to fully develop the HPRP program in
light of HUD's clarifications and to provide adequate notice and
opportunity for citizen participation in finalizing the Substantial
Amendment. HUD granted the requested waiver upon this showing of good
cause.

Date Granted: July 28, 2009.
Reason Waived: On June 18, 2009, HUD disapproved the City's

revision was due on July 3, 2009, but the City indicated that the mayor
is the authorized representative for the application and was
unavailable to sign the grantee's revised Substantial Amendment for
HPRP by the due date of July 3, 2009. The city submitted its revision
on July 8, 2009. HUD approved this waiver because the need for the
waiver was due to an unavoidable administrative barrier.

Regulation: Notice of Allocations, Application Procedures,
and Requirements for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing
Program Grantees under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Recovery Act), issued March 19, 2009 (HPRP Notice).
Project/Activity: Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing
Program (HPRP) grantee, City of Jackson, Mississippi requested a waiver
of the limitation on eligible subgrantees in order to subgrant HPRP
funds to the Jackson Housing Authority.
Nature of Requirement: Subsections III.B and III.C of the HPRP
Notice provides that metropolitan cities, urban counties, and
territories may distribute all or part of their grant amounts to
private non-profit organizations or another local government.
Granted By: Mercedes Marquez, Assistant Secretary for Community and
Planning Development.
Date Granted: August 11, 2009.
Reason Waived: The City provided sufficient information for HUD to
grant the waiver on the basis of the following: (1) HPRP participants
will be selected in a manner that will ensure Housing Authority
residents are not unfairly selected over other eligible individuals and
families; (2) utilizing the Housing Authority as a subgrantee will
result in an efficient and effective program that benefits HPRP
participants; and (3) the Housing Authority has proven capacity to

Regulation: Notice of Allocations, Application Procedures,
and Requirements for Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing
Program Grantees under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of
2009 (Recovery Act), issued March 19, 2009 (HPRP Notice).
Project/Activity: Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing
Program (HPRP) grantee, the Town of Union, New York, requested a waiver
of the resubmission deadline.
Nature of Requirement: Section IV.F.2 of the HPRP Notice provides
that each eligible HPRP grantee may revise and resubmit an application
that HUD has disapproved within 15 days of the date that it was
notified of the disapproval.
Granted By: Mercedes Marquez, Assistant Secretary for Community
Planning and Development.
Date Granted: August 12, 2009.
Reason Waived: The Town of Union requested an additional 15 days to
submit a new application meeting HUD's program requirements. HUD
determined that there was good cause for waiving the 15-day
resubmission deadline based on the following: The Town of Union
submitted a Substantial Amendment by the May 18, 2009, application
submission deadline, which proposed using all HPRP funds to purchase
furnaces for low-income elderly homeowners. On May 14, 2009, the Town
of Union also requested a waiver of any prohibition on funding this
kind of activity. On July 2, 2009, HUD wrote to the Town of Union
indicating that its request for a waiver of the eligible activities
under the Notice was still under review. On July 9, 2009, the Town of
Union requested an additional 15 days to resubmit an approvable
application containing eligible activities should HUD both disapprove
its application and deny its waiver request. On July 14, 2009, HUD: (1)
Disapproved the HPRP application based upon the ineligibility of the
proposed funding of furnaces for elderly
[[Page 69473]]
people; and (b) denied the request for a waiver of the Notice's
eligible activity standards to permit the funding of furnaces for
elderly persons. The timing of HUD's application disapproval and the
denial of the waiver request came too late for the Town of Union to
effectively revise and resubmit a new HPRP application within the
remaining time available under the original 15-day resubmission period.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing--Federal
Housing Administration (FHA)
For further information about the following regulatory waivers,
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the
description of the waiver granted.
Regulation: 24 CFR 203.37a.
Project/Activity: Property Flipping, Atlanta, GA.
Nature of the Requirement: FHA's property flipping regulation
restricts the eligibility for FHA mortgage insurance, for those
properties purchased and re-sold within 90 days. The regulation exempts
government entities and nonprofits approved to purchase HUD real estate
owned (REO) properties; however, the restriction still exists for
private entities and especially those working on behalf of local
governments under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The waiver
request is to exempt a private entity working on behalf of a local
government for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.
Granted by: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: September 14, 2009.
Reason Waived: The regulation was waived to allow for purchase and
resale of REO properties within 90 days under the Neighborhood
Stabilization Program, which furthers the purposes of this program
which is designed to stabilize neighborhoods through the purchase of
abandoned and foreclosed homes.

[[Page 69475]]
designated Flood Hazard Areas in the State of Louisiana.
Nature of the Requirement: The National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) installation requirements for manufactured homes and the flood
hazard regulations for one and two single family dwellings are less
onerous than the flood hazard regulations for manufactured homes found
at 24 CFR 203.43f, which specify that the finished grade beneath the
manufactured home must be at or above the 100 year return frequency
flood elevation. Extending the waiver to 24 CFR 203.43f permits
manufactured homes that are located in FEMA designated flood hazard
areas to be in compliance with the less onerous NFIP requirements and
serves to assist in the reconstruction of homes impacted by Hurricane
Katrina in the State of Louisiana.
Granted by: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: August 11, 2009.
Reason Waived: Extending the waiver to 24 CFR 203.43f permits
manufactured homes that are located in FEMA designated flood hazard
areas to be in compliance with the less onerous NFIP requirements and
serves to assist in the reconstruction/replacement of homes impacted by
Hurricane Katrina in the State of Louisiana with an affordable housing
type.

Regulation: 24 CFR 206.32(a).
Project/Activity: The waiver is applicable to certain borrowers in
the State of Maine under FHA's Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)
Program.
Nature of Requirement: FHA's regulation 24 CFR 206.23(a) require
that there be no outstanding or unpaid obligations, incurred by the
HECM mortgagor, in connection with the HECM transaction. The borrowers
obtained a negotiated short payoff on their forward mortgage from their
existing lender, CitiFinancial. They are seeking HECM financing which
will be used to satisfy their existing mortgage and outstanding
judgments. The HECM lender, American Home Bank, worked with Maine
Stream Finance, a Community Development Financial Institution, in order
for the homeowners to obtain subordinate financing, enabling them to
satisfy certain financial obligations, and, in turn, close the HECM
transaction and save their home from foreclosure.
Granted By: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: September 10, 2009.
Reason Waived: The regulation was waived to prevent the borrowers
from losing their home through foreclosure.
Contact: Kathy Hardy, Home Valuation Policy Division, Office of
Single Family Program Development, Office of Housing, Department of
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 9241,
Washington, DC 20410-8000, telephone (202) 708-2121.
Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995), 24 CFR Part
219.320(1995) and 24 CFR 219.335(a) (1995).
Project/Activity: Lakeview Towers, Chicago, Illinois--FHA Project
Number 071-10021/071-35743. The property has 500 units comprised of two
25-story high rise towers. The property is in need of rehabilitation to
continue as a well-maintained source of affordable housing.
Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) (1995) of FHA's
regulations, which governs the repayment of operating assistance
provided under the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects prior
to May 1, 1996, states: ``Assistance that has been paid to a project
owner under this subpart must be repaid at the earlier of the
expiration of the term of the mortgage, termination of these actions
would typically terminate FHA involvement with the property, and the
Flexible Subsidy loan would be repaid, in whole, at that time.''
Section 219.320 (1995) of FHA's regulation entitled ``Loan terms
and conditions'' will continue to govern the rights and obligations of
housing owners, tenants and [HUD] with respect to units and projects
assisted under the Flexible Subsidy Program * * *'' The regulation
applies to capital improvement loans made pursuant to Section 201(k) of
the Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1978.
Section 219.335(a) (1995) of FHA's regulation entitled
``Operations'' provides that interest on the capital improvement loan
starts to accrue and the loan amortization period begins when the loan
proceeds have been spent.
Granted by: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: August 24, 2009.
Reason Waived: This regulatory waiver was granted to preserve this
much needed affordable housing. The owners of Lakeview Towers proposed
to extend the term for repayment of the Flexible Subsidy loans for 3
years to match the term of the new section 241(a) loan and make capital
improvements to the property. These waivers were allowed because,
without them, the owner would not have had the necessary funds to
perform needed fa[ccedil]ade repairs and rehabilitation of a portion of
the kitchen and bathrooms in the property. Providing these waivers
allowed the owner to obtain financing to perform substantial
rehabilitation of the property and allow the amortization of the
flexible subsidy loan with the new section 241(a) loan.

Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban

Regulation: 24 FR 290.30(a).
Project/Activity: Park Lee Apartments, Phoenix, Arizona--FHA
Project Number 123-35418. This insured loan went into default and was
assigned to HUD. Waiver of this regulation allowed the City of Phoenix
to purchase this defaulted, unsubsidized mortgage loan on a
noncompetitive basis.
Nature of Requirement: FHA's regulations governing the sale of HUD-
Held mortgages are set forth in 24 CFR part 290, subpart B. Section
290.30(a) of those regulations state that ``[e]xcept as otherwise
provided in Section 290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUD-Held multifamily
mortgages on a competitive basis.'' Section 290.31(a)(2) permits
``negotiated'' sales to State or local governments for mortgage loans
that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such
loans are sold with FHA insurance.
Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: July 7, 2009.
Reason Waived: This regulation was waived in order to allow the
sale of Park Lee Apartments to the City of Phoenix, thereby preventing
foreclosure of the property. The city plans to become the managing
member of the current owner entity and work with it to infuse funds to
complete rehabilitation, thus making the property an asset to the
community and preserving its affordability.

Held mortgages are set forth in 24 CFR part 290, subpart B. Section
290.30(a) of those regulations state that ``[e]xcept as otherwise

that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such
loans are sold with FHA insurance.
Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: July 7, 2009.
Reason Waived: This regulation was waived in order to allow the
noncompetitive sale of Washington Manor Apartments to the City of
Memphis, thereby preventing foreclosure of the property. Waiver of this
requirement would preserve this much needed low income housing resource
and reduce the number of loans in the HUD-Held mortgage inventory.

Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 6160, Washington, DC 20410-

Regulation: 24 CFR 290.30(a).
Project/Activity: Phyllis Wheatley Apartments, Washington, DC--FHA
Project Number 000-35418. This property went into default and was part

allowed the sale of this delinquent, unsubsidized mortgage to the
District of Columbia.
Nature of Requirement: FHA's regulations governing the sale of HUD-
Held mortgages are set forth in 24 CFR part 290, subpart B. Section
290.30(a) of those regulations state that ``[e]xcept as otherwise
provided in Section 290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUD-Held multifamily
mortgages on a competitive basis.'' Section 290.31(a)(2) permits
``negotiated'' sales to State or local governments for mortgage loans
that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such
loans are sold with FHA insurance.
Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: July 7, 2009.
Reason Waived: This regulation was waived in order to allow the
noncompetitive sale of Phyllis Wheatley Apartments to the District of
Columbia and prevent foreclosure of the property. Waiver of this
requirement would produce budget savings by generating proceeds to the
U.S. Treasury and assure that the Phyllis Wheatley facility is
transformed into a viable and productive housing facility for eligible
occupants in the District of Columbia.
Contact: Howard D. Mayfield, Deputy Director, Office of Asset
Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., Room 6160, Washington, DC 20410-

Regulation: 24 CFR 290.30(a) and 24 CFR 290.35(b)(2).
Project/Activity: John C. Cannon House Apartments, Seattle,
Washington. This property went into default and was part of the HUD-
Held inventory. The City of Seattle had expressed an interest in
purchasing the property. Waiver of this regulation allowed the sale of
this delinquent, unsubsidized mortgage to the City of Seattle.

mortgages on a competitive basis.'' Section 290.31(a)(2) permits
``negotiated'' sales to State or local governments for mortgage loans
that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such
loans are sold with FHA insurance.
Section 290.35(b)(2) governs the sale of delinquent mortgages
securing subsidized projects, ``(1) However, delinquent mortgages will
not be sold if: (1) HUD believes that foreclosure is unavoidable; and
(2) the project securing the mortgage is occupied by very low-income
tenants who are not receiving housing assistance and would be likely to
pay rent in excess of 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income if
HUD sold the mortgage.''
Granted by: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: September 24, 2009.
Reason Waived: This regulation was waived in order to allow the
noncompetitive sale of John C. Cannon House Apartments to the City of
Seattle. Waiver of this requirement would produce budget savings by
generating proceeds to the U.S. Treasury, reduce the number of notes in
the HUD-Held mortgage inventory and prevent the loss of assisted living
units for families that might take place if a profit-motivated investor
were to buy the note and foreclose.

290.30(a) of those regulations state that ``[e]xcept as otherwise
provided in Section 290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUD-Held multifamily
mortgages on a competitive basis.'' Section 290.31(a)(2) permits
``negotiated'' sales to State or local governments for mortgage loans
that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such
loans are sold with FHA insurance.
Section 290.33 governs the sale of delinquent mortgages securing
subsidized projects, only if (a) the mortgages are restructured, and
(b) either FHA mortgage insurance or equivalent protections are
provided.
Granted by: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: September 18, 2009.
Reason Waived: This regulation was waived for Grove Parc
Apartments, in order to allow its noncompetitive sale with a
restructured, FHA-insured mortgage or with an instrument with
equivalent protections provided to the City of Chicago. Waiver of this
requirement would produce budget savings by generating proceeds to the
U.S. Treasury, reduce the number of notes in the HUD-Held mortgage
inventory and prevent the loss of assisted living units for families
that might take place if a profit-motivated
[[Page 69477]]
investor were to buy the note and foreclose.

Management, Office of Housing, Department of Housing and Urban

Regulation: 24 CFR 290.30(a) and 24 CFR 290.35(b)(2).
Project/Activity: John C. Cannon House Apartments, Seattle,
Washington. This property went into default and was part of the HUD-
Held inventory. The City of Seattle had expressed an interest in
purchasing the property. Waiver of this regulation allowed the sale of
this delinquent, unsubsidized mortgage to the City of Seattle.
Nature of Requirement: FHA's regulations governing the sale of HUD-
Held mortgages are set forth in 24 CFR part 290, subpart B. Section
290.30(a) of those regulations state that ``[e]xcept as otherwise
provided in Section 290.31(a)(2), HUD will sell HUD-Held multifamily
mortgages on a competitive basis.'' Section 290.31(a)(2) permits
``negotiated'' sales to State or local governments for mortgage loans
that are current and secured by subsidized projects, provided such
loans are sold with FHA insurance.
Section 290.35(b)(2) governs the sale of delinquent mortgages
securing subsidized projects, ``(1) However, delinquent mortgages will
not be sold if: (1) HUD believes that foreclosure is unavoidable; and
(2) the project securing the mortgage is occupied by very low-income
tenants who are not receiving housing assistance and would be likely to
pay rent in excess of 30 percent of their adjusted monthly income if
HUD sold the mortgage.''
Granted by: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.

Reason Waived: This regulation was waived in order to allow the
noncompetitive sale of John C. Cannon House Apartments to the City of

Regulation: 24 CFR 883.205(c)(1)(1979).
Project/Activity: Woodside Village, Danville, Virginia--Section 8
Number: VA36-H027-081. This non-insured subsidized property had not
undergone significant rehabilitation since it was constructed. Waiver
of this regulation allowed for much needed repairs of the property.
Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulation at 883.205(c) concerns
adjustments to reflect the actual cost of permanent financing. After
the project is permanently financed, the HFA shall submit a
certification as to the actual financing terms. Subsection (1) relates
to the actual debt service under the permanent financing. If the actual
debt service under the permanent financing is lower than the
anticipated debt service on which the Contract Rents were based, the
initial Contract Rents or the Contract Rents currently in effect shall
be reduced commensurately, and the amount of savings shall be credited
to the project account.
Granted by: David H. Stevens, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: August 4, 2009.
Reason Waived: This regulation was waived in order to permit the
Section 8 contract rents to remain at the current levels in order to
allow the owner to obtain financing at a lower interest rate to
rehabilitate the property. The proposed rehabilitation is to be funded
through Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). An affordability use
restriction is to accompany an award of the LIHTC, preserving the
property as a long-term, well-maintained source of affordable housing.
