Sec.  983.206  HAP contract amendments (to add or substitute contract 

units).



    (a) Amendment to substitute contract units. At the discretion of the 

PHA and subject to all PBV requirements, the HAP contract may be amended 

to substitute a different unit with the same number of bedrooms in the 

same building for a previously covered contract unit. Prior to such 

substitution, the

PHA must inspect the proposed substitute unit and must determine the 

reasonable rent for such unit.

    (b) Amendment to add contract units. At the discretion of the PHA, 

and provided that the total number of units in a building that will 

receive PBV assistance or other project-based assistance will not exceed 

25 percent of the number of dwelling units (assisted or unassisted) in 

the building or the 20 percent of authorized budget authority as 

provided in Sec.  983.6, a HAP contract may be amended during the three-

year period immediately following the execution date of the HAP contract 

to add additional PBV contract units in the same building. An amendment 

to the HAP contract is subject to all PBV requirements (e.g., rents are 

reasonable), except that a new PBV request for proposals is not 

required. The anniversary and expiration dates of the HAP contract for 

the additional units must be the same as the anniversary and expiration 

dates of the HAP contract term for the PBV units originally placed under 

HAP contract.

    (c) Staged completion of contract units. Even if contract units are 

placed under the HAP contract in stages commencing on different dates, 

there is a single annual anniversary for all contract units under the 

HAP contract. The annual anniversary for all contract units is the 

annual anniversary date for the first contract units placed under the 

HAP contract. The expiration of the HAP contract for all the contract 

units completed in stages must be concurrent with the end of the HAP 

contract term for the units originally placed under HAP contract.
