Section 8 Contract Renewals

Contract with Management Agents
Manage & Prepare HAP Contracts

Management Agents (MA) who manage several HUD projects with Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contracts, their Contracts either have been renewed under the new HUD Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide, Guidance for the Renewal of Project-Based Section 8 Contracts, or are due shortly for renewal or will expire within the next year or two.

During terms of HAP Contracts, each year MA are required to request rent/budget authority adjustments through submission of Budget Worksheets or OCAF Worksheets for those HAP Contracts that were renewed under the new HUD Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide, Guidance for the Renewal of Project-Based Section 8 Contracts.

I am offering my services to MA on negotiated terms that could reduce costs attributable to managing and preparing proposals for submission to HUD/Contract Administrators (HUD/CA). My services include, but not limited, to the following.

  • I will track expiration dates of HAP contracts, and notify MA in a timely manner to prepare proposals for HAP Contract renewals,

     
  • I will track anniversary dates of HAP contracts, and notify MA in a timely manner to prepare proposals for annual HAP Contract rent/budgetary adjustments,

     
  • Advise MA of any published HUD Notices affecting programs that relate to HAP Contracts.

     
  • With assistance of MA Accounting Departments and Contract Coordinators, I will prepare a Budget or OCAF approaches to determine which one will be to Owners’ advantage.

     
  • I will examine budget expense line items to determine if they include all expenses Owners are entitled to, pursuant to Data Definition for an Audited AFS in accordance with HUD requirements.

MA are required to submit requests for HAP Contract renewals and annual rent/budgetary adjustments to HUD/CA 120-days prior to expiration dates or anniversary dates of HAP Contracts.

HUD Section 8 Renewal Policy Guide sets forth new guidelines that MA must follow when requesting renewal of HAP Contracts and annual rent/budgetary adjustments to HAP Contracts. I can assist MA in preparing requests for renewals or annual rent adjustments to HAP Contracts, using the required HUD Forms on MA letterhead stationary. All MA have to do is sign-off on collaborative proposals and mail them to HUD/CA.

Contact me and we can discuss your HUD Contract inventory and mutual arrangement that could be financially beneficial to you and me.
