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.
