  • American Rescue Plan Housing & Homelessness Programs and Their
    American Rescue Plan Housing & Homelessness The American Rescue Plan (ARP) includes funds for programs to help renters and homeowners to alleviate pandemic-related housing issues. ARP includes a robust and comprehensive package of relief funding to boost housing stability, reduce homelessness, and support others facing housing-related hardships. Programs and Their Purposes Emergency Rental Assistance Program - $21.6 billion (U.S. Department of Treasury) The Emergency Rental Assistance Program provides emergency aid to low-income renters that have lost their income, are experiencing financial hardship and are at risk of losing housing. These funds, provided in the December emergency package, can be used for rent payments or arrearages to avoid/prevent eviction. The program includes $2.5 billion for low-income renter households paying more than 50 percent of income on rent or living in substandard or over- crowded conditions, rental market costs, and change in employment since February 2020 used as the factors for allocating funds. Eligible households include one person or more qualified for unemployment benefits; reduced income or significant costs during COVID-19 pandemic; risk of homelessness; household income below 80% area median income (AMI). Emergency Housing Vouchers - $5 billion (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) The Emergency Housing Vouchers for Section 8 Housing provides vouchers for public housing agencies to individuals and families who are currently or recently homeless, and to those who are fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking. Vouchers cannot be reissued after assistance to family ends. According to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, unlike cash assistance, vouchers offer longer-lasting support that can help renters remain stably housed as the recovery takes hold.

  • Subsidized Housing and a Criminal Record in Cook County: What You Need to Know
    fdf SUBSIDIZED HOUSING AND A CRIMINAL RECORD IN COOK COUNTY: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW What are my local public housing authorities? The Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) is the public housing authority for the City of Chicago. The Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC) is the public housing authority for most of suburban Cook County. What is public housing? What is subsidized housing? The government funds two main housing programs for low-income individuals: Traditional public housing, in which housing developments are owned and administered by public housing authorities, and the housing choice voucher program (formerly known as Section 8), which provides rental subsidies for tenants renting on the private market. That means that the housing authority provides you with a voucher that pays a portion of your rent based on your income for a qualified apartment. I have a criminal record. Am I eligible for public housing? Having a criminal record alone does not disqualify you from living in public housing or receiving a housing choice voucher. Unless you have been convicted of a sex offense and are subject to a lifetime registration under a state sex offender registration program OR you have been convicted of manufacturing or producing methamphetamine on the premises of federally assisted housing, it’s possible—even likely—that you qualify for public or subsidized housing. Is there housing available in my area? If you are interested in living in public or subsidized housing, you can sign up the next time that CHA or HACC opens one of their waitlists. Keep reading for instructions on how to do that.

  • Establishing Wait List Preferences
    ESTABLISHING WAIT LIST PREFERENCES Background Access to Public Housing and Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) can help prevent and end homelessness for families and individuals with extremely low incomes, but federal funding is limited. Nationally, Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) can assist only about one of every four eligible households, and waiting lists are often very long. Many PHAs have decided to utilize waiting list preferences to target housing assistance to the most vulnerable people in their community, including families and individuals who are experiencing homelessness. In June 2013, HUD provided guidance on housing individuals and families experiencing homelessness through the Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher programs (Notice PIH 2013-15). This guidance includes strategies to expand such housing opportunities, including strategies for waiting list management and homeless admissions preferences. Flexibility All PHAs have significant flexibility in establishing procedures and priorities for waiting lists and tenant selection, within the overall framework provided by federal law. Each PHA is required to establish an Annual Plan that describes the PHA’s approach to meeting local housing needs among low- and very low-income people. The PHA Plan describes eligibility for housing assistance and tenant screening and selection criteria. PHAs must ensure that 75 percent of households admitted into the voucher program and 40 percent of households admitted into public housing each year are extremely-low income. Beyond those requirements, PHAs can establish policies for managing their waiting lists: for example, PHAs can select households on their waiting-list on a first-come, first-served basis or through a lottery. Many PHAs establish priorities or “preferences” for households with particular needs, including USICH PHA Portal – Wait List Preferences Page 1 households experiencing homelessness, who are applying for or are on waiting lists for public housing or voucher assistance or both.

[email protected] Federal Housing Assistance Programs Published by the National Coalition for the Homeless, September 2009 Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities Program1 The purpose of this U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program is to provide funding for supportive housing for very low-income persons with disabilities who are at least 18 years of age. Capital advance funds are available for use in constructing, rehabilitating, or acquiring structures to be used for housing. These funds can be used to develop small group homes, independent living projects and units in multifamily housing developments, condominiums, and cooperative housing. Repayment of the capital advance is not required as long as the housing is available for at least 40 years. Section 811 project rental assistance contracts are also available to cover the difference between what a tenant can pay in rent (30% of income) and the cost to operate the project. Each project must have a supportive services plan. The initial term of the project rental assistance contract is 5 years and can be renewed if funds are available. In order to live in Section 811 housing, a household, which may consist of a single qualified person, must be qualified by HUD as very low-income [50% or below the area median income (AMI)] and at least one member must be 18 years old or older and have a disability, such as a physical or developmental disability or chronic mental illness.

  • Chapter 3: Eligibility for Assistance and Occupancy 4350.3 REV-1
    4350.3 REV-1 CHAPTER 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE AND OCCUPANCY 3-1 Introduction A. This chapter discusses the requirements and procedures for determining whether applicant families may participate in HUD-subsidized multifamily housing programs. Described in this chapter are steps an owner must follow to determine whether a family is eligible to receive assistance in a HUD-subsidized multifamily property and eligible to live in a specific property and unit. These activities are described in a sequential order; however, owners may deviate from this sequence based on project circumstances as long as they determine an applicant’s eligibility before admitting the family to the property. 1. While this chapter provides the rules for eligibility, the processes for developing and maintaining a waiting list and correctly selecting an applicant for the next available unit are addressed in Chapter 4, Sections 3 and 4. Determining and verifying annual income, which is an eligibility requirement, is addressed in Chapter 5. 2. Subsequent chapters in the handbook address activities that occur once an owner determines that a family is eligible for tenancy, such as leasing, recertification, terminations, billing, and reporting. B. This chapter is divided into three sections, each of which identifies the variations in eligibility requirements based upon type of subsidy. The three sections are as follows: • Section 1: Program Eligibility, which describes the criteria by which the owner must determine whether a family is eligible to receive assistance; • Section 2: Project Eligibility, which describes the criteria by which the owner must determine whether a family is eligible to reside in a specific property (e.g., project eligibility limited to a specific population, unit size, and occupancy standards); and • Section 3: Verification of Eligibility Factors, which describes how the owner should collect information to document family composition, disability status, social security numbers, and other factors affecting eligibility for assistance.

  • HPD Section 8 Fact Sheet for Landlords & Brokers
    HPD Section 8 Fact Sheet for Landlords & Brokers What is the HPD Section 8 Program? Section 8, also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program, provides federal funding for subsidies for eligible low-income families to rent decent, safe, and affordable housing in a neighborhood of their choice. Families pay a reasonable share of their income toward rent and the subsidy, paid by HPD directly to the landlord, makes up the difference, within specified limits. How does participating in the HPD Section 8 Program benefit me? Participating as an landlord in one of HPD's rental subsidy programs helps provide critical affordable housing to New Yorkers in need. As an owner, you will also benefit from guaranteed monthly rent payments, low vacancy rates, and free annual inspections by HPD to ensure maximum property upkeep. The city provides additional incentives for landlords who provide apartments for homeless veteran which are listed below: $1,000 Landlord Incentive for every apartment and commercial SRO with a one-year lease signed by a homeless veteran. $500 Room Rental Incentive for every room with a one-year lease signed by a homeless veteran. 15% Broker Bonus (15% of the annual rent) for brokers who connect homeless veterans with LINC apartments or units that can be subsidized using HUD VASH, HPD Section 8, and MRT vouchers.

  • USDA Rural Housing Programs: an Overview
    USDA Rural Housing Programs: An Overview Bruce E. Foote Analyst in Housing Policy October 29, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL33421 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress USDA Rural Housing Programs: An Overview Summary Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 authorized the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to make loans to farmers to enable them to construct, improve, repair, or replace dwellings and other farm buildings to provide decent, safe, and sanitary living conditions for themselves or their tenants, lessees, sharecroppers, and laborers. USDA was also authorized to make grants or combinations of loans and grants to those farmers who could not qualify to repay the full amount of a loan, but who needed the funds to make the dwellings sanitary or to remove health hazards to the occupants or the community. While the act was initially targeted toward farmers, over time the act has been amended to enable USDA to make housing loans and grants to rural residents in general. Currently, the USDA housing programs are administered by the Rural Housing Service (RHS). The housing programs are generally referred to by the section number under which they are authorized in the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. The rural housing programs include loans for the purchase, repair, or construction of single- family housing; loans and grants to remove health and safety hazards in owner-occupied homes; loans and grants for the construction and purchase of rental housing for farmworkers; loans for the purchase and construction of rental and cooperative housing for the elderly and for rural residents in general; rental assistance payments to make rental housing more affordable; interest subsidies to make homeownership loans more affordable and to enable production of rental housing that is affordable for the target population; and loans for developing building sites upon which rural housing is to be constructed.
