               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.
