                      Subpart B_Assistance Provided

 

Sec.  582.100  Program component descriptions.





    (a) Tenant-based rental assistance (TRA). Tenant-based rental 

assistance provides grants for rental assistance which permit 

participants to choose housing of an appropriate size in which to 

reside. Participants retain the rental assistance if they move. Where 

necessary to facilitate the coordination of supportive services, grant 

recipients may require participants to live in a specific area for their 

entire period of participation or in a specific structure for the first 

year and in a specific area for the remainder of their period of 

participation. Recipients may not define the area in a way that violates 

the Fair Housing Act or the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The term of the 

grant between HUD and the grant recipient for TRA is five years.

    (b) Project-based rental assistance (PRA). Project-based rental 

assistance provides grants for rental assistance to the owner of an 

existing structure, where the owner agrees to lease the subsidized units 

to participants. Participants do not retain rental assistance if they 

move. Rental subsidies are provided to the owner for a period of either 

five or ten years. To qualify for ten years of rental subsidies, the 

owner must complete at least $3,000 of eligible rehabilitation for each 

unit (including the unit's prorated share of work to be accomplished on 

common areas or systems), to make the structure decent, safe and 

sanitary. This rehabilitation must be completed with in 12 months of the 

grant award.

    (c) Sponsor-based rental assistance (SRA). Sponsor-based rental 

assistance provides grants for rental assistance through contracts 

between the grant recipient and sponsor organizations. A sponsor may be 

a private, nonprofit organization or a community mental health agency 

established as a public nonprofit organization. Participants reside in 

housing owned or leased by the sponsor. The term of the grant between 

HUD and the grant recipient for SRA is five years.

    (d) Moderate rehabilitation for single room occupancy dwellings 

(SRO). (1) The SRO component provides grants for rental assistance in 

connection with the moderate rehabilitation of single room occupancy 

housing units. Resources to initially fund the cost of rehabilitating 

the dwellings must be obtained from other sources. However, the rental 

assistance covers operating expenses of the rehabilitated SRO units 

occupied by homeless persons, including debt service to retire the cost 

of the moderate rehabilitation over a ten-year period.

    (2) SRO housing must be in need of moderate rehabilitation and must 

meet the requirements of 24 CFR 882.803(a). Costs associated with 

rehabilitation of common areas may be included in the calculation of the 

cost for assisted units based on the proportion of the number of units 

to be assisted under this part to the total number of units.

    (3) SRO assistance may also be used for efficiency units selected 

for rehabilitation under this program, but the gross rent (contract rent 

plus any utility allowance) for those units will be no higher than for 

SRO units (i.e., 75 percent of the 0-bedroom Moderate Rehabilitation 

Fair Market Rent).

    (4) The requirements regarding maintenance, operation, and 

inspections described in 24 CFR 882.806(b)(4) and 882.808(n) must be 

met.

    (5) Governing regulations. Except where there is a conflict with any 

requirement under this part or where specifically provided, the SRO 

component will be governed by the regulations set forth in 24 CFR part 

882, subpart H.
