PART 983_PROJECT-BASED VOUCHER (PBV) PROGRAM--Table of Contents

 

               Subpart B_Selection of PBV Owner Proposals

 

Sec.  983.51  Owner proposal selection procedures.





    (a) Procedures for selecting PBV proposals. The PHA administrative 

plan must describe the procedures for owner submission of PBV proposals 

and for PHA selection of PBV proposals. Before selecting a PBV proposal, 

the PHA must determine that the PBV proposal complies with HUD program 

regulations and requirements, including a determination that the 

property is eligible housing (Sec. Sec.  983.53 and 983.54), complies 

with the cap on the number of PBV units per building (Sec.  983.56), and 

meets the site selection standards (Sec.  983.57).

    (b) Selection of PBV proposals. The PHA must select PBV proposals in 

accordance with the selection procedures in the PHA administrative plan. 

The PHA must select PBV proposals by either of the following two 

methods.

    (1) PHA request for PBV Proposals. The PHA may not limit proposals 

to a single site or impose restrictions that explicitly or practically 

preclude owner submission of proposals for PBV housing on different 

sites.

    (2) Selection of a proposal for housing assisted under a federal, 

state, or local government housing assistance, community development, or 

supportive services program that requires competitive selection of 

proposals (e.g., HOME, and units for which competitively awarded LIHTCs 

have been provided), where the proposal has been selected in accordance 

with such program's competitive selection requirements within three 

years of the PBV proposal selection date, and the earlier competitive 

selection proposal did not involve any consideration that the project 

would receive PBV assistance.

    (c) Public notice of PHA request for PBV proposals. If the PHA will 

be selecting proposals under paragraph (b)(1) of this section, PHA 

procedures for selecting PBV proposals must be designed and actually 

operated to provide broad public notice of the opportunity to offer PBV 

proposals for consideration by the PHA. The public notice procedures may 

include publication of the public notice in a local newspaper of general 

circulation and other means designed and actually operated to provide 

broad public notice. The public notice of the PHA request for PBV 

proposals must specify the submission deadline. Detailed application and 

selection information must be provided at the request of interested 

parties.

    (d) PHA notice of owner selection. The PHA must give prompt written 

notice to the party that submitted a selected proposal and must also 

give prompt public notice of such selection. Public notice procedures 

may include publication of public notice in a local newspaper of general 

circulation and other means designed and actually operated to provide 

broad public notice.

    (e) PHA-owned units. A PHA-owned unit may be assisted under the PBV 

program only if the HUD field office or HUD-approved independent entity 

reviews the selection process and determines that the PHA-owned units 

were appropriately selected based on the selection procedures specified 

in the PHA administrative plan. Under no circumstances may PBV 

assistance be used with a public housing unit.

    (f) Public review of PHA selection decision documentation. The PHA 

must make documentation available for public inspection regarding the 

basis for the PHA selection of a PBV proposal.
