The CHA plans to renovate all 719 of our Public Housing units in five (5) phases from: 2014 – 2017. Rental Assistance Demonstration Program (RAD) – Convert to long-term contract rents – Project-Based Vouchers. Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) from MHDC – Combination of 4% & 9% credits.

PUBLIC HOUSING RENOVATION

RAD - A new HUD Pilot Program

• Designed to encourage housing authorities to transition from

the public housing financial model to the more stable Project- Based Section 8 model.

Conversion to Long-Term Contract Rents

• The RAD Program allows housing authorities to convert their

unpredictable Public Housing subsidies to a long-term contract rent under the Project-Based Voucher Program (Section 8).

Substantial Renovation of Public Housing

• The RAD conversion is based on the CHA renovating current Public

Housing stock to a level that may be sustained for 15 to 20 years.

 No Re-screening of Tenants upon Conversion.

• Pursuant to the RAD statute, at conversion, current households are not

subject to rescreening, income eligibility, or income targeting provisions.

 Right to Return.

• Any residents that may need to be temporarily relocated to facilitate

rehabilitation or construction will have a right to return to the development

• nce rehabilitation or construction is completed.

 Renewal of Lease.

• Under RAD, the PHA must renew all leases upon lease expiration, unless

cause exists.

 Phase-in of Tenant Rent Increases.

• If a tenant’s monthly rent increases by more than the greater of 10 percent
• r $25 purely as a result of conversion, the rent increase will be phased in
• ver 3 years, which a PHA may extend to 5 years.

 Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency (PH FSS) and Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency Service Coordinator (ROSS- SC) programs.

• Current PH FSS participants will continue to be eligible for FSS once

their housing is converted under RAD. Current ROSS-SC grantees will be able to finish out their current ROSS-SC grants once their housing is converted under RAD.

 Resident Participation and Funding.

• Residents of covered projects converting assistance to PBVs will have

the right to establish and operate a resident organization for the purpose of addressing issues related to their living environment and be eligible for resident participation funding.

8

 Resident Choice and Mobility.

• One of the major benefits of the RAD program is that the program

greatly enhances the choice and mobility of Residents living in the converted Public Housing units.

• The units will be converted to Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), in which

residents may move out of the converted Public Housing development with housing assistance after living there for one year.

• Once this residency requirement has been met, the Resident may be

issued a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher if they choose not to renew their lease. The Resident can use their voucher anywhere in Columbia and Boone County and may also “port-out” to another PHA with their voucher and continue to receive housing assistance through the new PHA.
