Section  Contract Renewal Policy Guide

The Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) proposed major changes to Guide. The draft changes have been posted on the HUD Website for public comments at

 http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/mfh/mfhsec8.cfm#s8rpg

ASSIGNMENT, ASSUMPTION AND AMENDMENT AGREEMENT SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS CONTRACT (UNINSURED PROJECT)

An Assignment or Assumption of Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract is required when the property being sold is subject to a HAP contract, with or without mortgage insurance. The HAP rents are set by a variety of factors, so it's important to understand how the rents may change from year to year before purchasing a property.

Starting in June of 2004, the Department will no longer consent to the assignment of the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contract unless there is a provision for requiring both physical condition standards and annual financial statement reporting. This applies to all Section 8 HAP contracts, regardless of whether there is a HUD-insured mortgage.

Transfer of Physical Assets (Full TPA)
Change in Property Ownership

A full Transfer of Physical Assets (TPA) is a property sales transaction involving the assumption of a HUD-insured loan. Transactions which do not involve a complete change in ownership may be eligible for a Modified TPA. Transactions involving Section 8, HAP Contracts and/or Preservation or other use agreements may have additional considerations (Click here for additional information).  

If you need assistance in preparing a proposal, contact me at 301-277-3465, 301-779-6716 (fax), or by email alvinl.sutherlin@verizon.net.

On-site Management & Occupancy Reviews

Contract Administrators are conducting On-site Management & Occupancy Reviews annually.  As you know, most of you have not seen a visit from your HUD Project Manager in years, all that has changed.  U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has contracted with Contract Administrators (CA) to administer Section 8 Contracts. CA are required to fulfill their contract obligations with HUD, to annually conduct On-site Management & Occupancy Reviews on Section 8 assisted properties.

If you need assistance in preparing for or responding to an On-site Management & Occupancy Review, contact me.  I have draft copies of documents that may be cited as lacking in Reviews. Example of some of the documents, such as;

• Drug-Free Housing Policy

• Maintenance & Occupancy Procedural Manuals

• Tenant Selection Plan

• Verification Forms, and more
