In 2016, the Department will continue implementation of the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), authorized by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–55). Under RAD, Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) and other owners of rental properties assisted under the Public Housing, Moderate Rehabilitation (Mod Rehab), Rent Supplement (Rent Supp) and Rental Assistance Payment (RAP) programs are offered the option to convert their properties to long-term, project-based Section 8 contracts that can leverage private financing for capital improvements.

While the Department will continue to process no-cost conversions in 2016, the Budget requests $50 million for a targeted expansion of RAD to Public Housing properties that cannot feasibly convert at existing funding levels and are located in high-poverty neighborhoods, including designated Promise Zones, where the Administration is supporting comprehensive revitalization efforts. This request will cover the incremental subsidy cost of converting approximately 25,000 Public Housing units, thereby increasing private investment in targeted projects and surrounding neighborhoods.

The Budget also includes the following proposals to facilitate additional no-cost conversions of HUD-assisted properties: (1) eliminates the 185,000 unit cap on Public Housing and Section 8 Mod Rehab conversions ; and (2) clarifies that the sunset date for conversions of Rent Supp, RAP and Mod Rehab properties under the second component of RAD has been eliminated. These proposals are included in the general provisions at the end of this budget chapter.

The 2016 Budget provides $21.1 billion for the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance program (also known as the Housing Choice Voucher program). With this funding, the Housing Choice Voucher program will provide housing assistance to about 2.4 million extremely low- to very low-income families to rent in the neighborhoods of their choice. This is the Federal Government's largest and most income-targeted program for assisting extremely low and very low-income families to rent decent, safe and sanitary housing in the private market. About 2,300 state and local Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) administer the Housing Choice Voucher program.

The Budget provides sufficient funding for contract renewals to continue assistance for families anticipated to be under lease in 2015, including renewing over 14,000 vouchers for persons with disabilities, and also restores reductions in assisted housing units that resulted from cuts due to sequestration and reduced funding levels in 2013.

The 2016 Budget builds on the successes of previous special purpose voucher initiatives and includes $177.5 million for about 22,500 new vouchers for families, veterans, and tribal families experiencing homelessness as well as victims of domestic or dating violence. These vouchers are to be distributed through a competitive grant process to PHAs with demonstrated need who partner with relevant Continuums of Care for appropriate wraparound services. The Budget also includes $37.5 million in funding for approximately 5,000 new vouchers for victims and survivors of domestic or dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking requiring an emergency transfer from their current assisted housing, as established by the Violence Against Women Act of 2013. These vouchers would be administered in a centralized fashion to address occurrences as they arise. The Budget also requests $20 million for about 2,500 Family Unification Program vouchers, which would ease and facilitate children's transition from foster care to independent adulthood as well as assist families who have children in foster care due to a lack of safe and adequate housing. Finally, the Budget supports $277 million for approximately 37,000 vouchers that will be distributed to PHAs via an allocation method based on relative need. In total, this incremental need-based assistance combined with the new competitive special purpose vouchers restore the approximately 67,000 vouchers that were lost as a result of sequestration cuts in 2013.

The Budget requests $150 million for tenant protection vouchers (TPVs), which are provided when certain actions occur beyond the control of the residents, such as public housing demolition or disposition, or when landlords terminate their Project-Based Rental Assistance contracts. The Budget also provides $2.0 billion in administrative fees representing an approximate fee eligibility proration of 90 percent.

The Budget includes an incremental expansion of the Moving to Work (MTW) program to high-capacity PHAs to test and rigorously evaluate innovative models for improving self-sufficiency, mobility, academic performance and other outcomes for HUD-assisted tenants. This expansion, which is included in a general provision, is limited to 15 PHAs and 150,000 aggregate vouchers and public housing units. Program requirements and selection criteria will be subject to public comment, and PHAs must maintain a minimum 90% utilization of their voucher funds for the duration of their participation in MTW, as well as comply with HUD reporting and evaluation requirements. This proposal preserves resident mobility, participation and other existing requirements by reducing HUD's statutory waiver authority for new MTW agencies. The Budget supports additional legislative reforms to HUD's core rental assistance programs, including: (1) allowing fixed-income families to recertify their incomes every three years; and (2) increasing the threshold used to determine deductions for unreimbursed medical expenses from 3 to 10 percent of family income.

In addition to these crosscutting reforms, the Budget proposes the following reforms to the Housing Choice Voucher program: (1) extending the maximum term of FUP vouchers issued to youth aging out of foster care from 18 to 60 months; and (2) improving the process for establishing Fair Market Rents. The Administration also continues to improve the management of the Housing Choice Voucher program by developing the Next Generation Management System, which will overhaul and improve HUD information technology systems to better manage and administer the program.

Until 2005, the Housing Certificate Fund provided funding to both the project-based and tenant-based components of the Section 8 program. Project-Based Rental Assistance and Tenant-Based Rental Assistance are now funded in separate accounts.

The Budget proposes $250 million for Choice Neighborhoods to continue the transformation of neighborhoods of concentrated poverty into sustainable, mixed-income neighborhoods with well-functioning services, schools, public assets, transportation, and access to jobs. The goal of the program is to transform distressed neighborhoods and improve the quality of life of current and future residents by coordinating and concentrating neighborhood investments from multiple sources. The Budget will fund approximately 8 implementation grants and 5–10 planning grants.

Choice Neighborhoods also supports the Administration's Promise Zones initiative, which is creating partnerships between the Federal government, local communities and businesses to create jobs, increase economic security, expand educational opportunities, increase access to quality, affordable housing, and improve public safety. The President announced the first five Promise Zone communities in 2014 and will create an additional 15 Zones by the end of calendar year 2016. The Budget includes companion investments of $150 million in the Department of Education's Promise Neighborhoods program and $29.5 million in the Department of Justice's Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation Grants program, as well as tax incentives to promote investment and economic growth in the Zones.

The Budget also includes a general provision to make the allocation of Choice Neighborhoods funding for the HOPE VI Main Street Housing Grants program optional rather than required.

The HOPE VI program, in coordination with funding from the Public Housing Capital Fund, has accomplished its goal of contributing to the demolition of approximately 100,000 severely distressed Public Housing units. The Budget proposes no additional funds for this program. Instead, the Budget builds on the success of HOPE VI with the Choice Neighborhoods program, which makes a broad range of transformative investments in high-poverty neighborhoods where Public Housing and other HUD-assisted housing is located.

The Budget requests $85 million for the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program to help Housing Choice Voucher, Public Housing, and Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) residents achieve self-sufficiency and economic independence. FSS provides service coordination through community partnerships that link assisted residents with employment assistance, job training, child care, transportation, financial literacy, and other supportive services. Residents participating in FSS are provided an interest bearing escrow account; any rent increase resulting from increased earned income during their participation in the program is credited to the escrow account.

The 2015 HUD Appropriations Act (P.L. 113–235) allows PBRA residents, for the first time, to participate in FSS through programs run by: (1) public housing agencies; or (2) PBRA owners who use funds from their residual receipt accounts or other sources to hire service coordinators.

The Budget proposes $660 million for the Native American Housing Block Grant program. This program allocates funds on a formula basis to over 360 recipients representing over 550 Indian tribes to help them address housing and other needs within their communities. In 2014, out of a population of 1.68 million American Indians and Alaska Natives in block grant formula areas, it is estimated that more than 107,600 households were either overcrowded or lacked adequate plumbing or kitchen facilities.

Within the total amount requested, $2 million is for the Title VI loan guarantee program. The Title VI program provides a Federal guarantee of notes or other obligations issued by Indian tribes or tribally designated housing entities for the purpose of financing affordable housing activities. The amount requested is sufficient to guarantee $17.45 million in loans. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of guarantees that resulted from obligations in any year). The subsidy amounts are estimated on a net present value basis. The administrative expenses are shown on a cash basis.

The Hawaiian Homelands Homeownership Act of 2000 (P.L. 106–568) amended the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 by adding Title VIII, which authorized the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant program. This program provides funds to assist and promote affordable housing activities to develop, maintain and operate affordable housing for eligible low-income Native Hawaiian families. It authorizes annual grants to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) for housing and housing-related assistance, pursuant to an annual housing plan, within the area in which DHHL is authorized to provide that assistance. The Budget does not request funds for this program because DHHL has sufficient balances from prior-year grants to support program activity through 2016.

The 2016 Budget provides $332 million for the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program, the only Federal program dedicated to address the housing needs of low-income Americans living with HIV and AIDS. HOPWA funding provides States and localities with resources to devise long-term comprehensive strategies for planning and providing housing and supportive services to meet the housing needs of persons living with HIV and AIDS and their families. HOPWA funds have been demonstrated to help reduce the risk of homelessness, increase housing stability, and improve access to HIV care and health outcomes for program participants.

Ninety percent of HOPWA funds are distributed to States and eligible metropolitan areas according to a formula, which is based on cumulative AIDS cases. The remaining ten percent are awarded competitively to States, local governments, and private nonprofit entities for projects of national significance and for projects in non-formula areas. However, the HOPWA formula does not reflect the current nature and distribution of the epidemic. To modernize the program, the Administration is proposing an updated formula based on cases of persons living with HIV and adjusted for an area's fair market rent and poverty rates, focusing HOPWA funds on areas that have the most need. The proposal also includes several changes that will allow better targeting of HOPWA resources and more flexibility for grantees to provide the most cost-effective, timely interventions.

HUD is working in partnership with Federal agencies through the HIV Care Continuum to improve outcomes that promote greater achievements in viral suppression through the coordination and alignment of housing support with medical care for people living with HIV. Furthermore, HUD is placing greater emphasis on coordinating local planning and service delivery of HOPWA housing resources with local homeless Continuums of Care. This effort is expected to increase local collaborations in the delivery of housing and services, and reduce duplication of local systems of support.

The 2016 Budget includes $2.8 billion for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and an additional $80 million for the Indian CDBG program.

The CDBG program provides over 1,200 flexible annual formula grants to States, local governments, and Insular Areas to benefit mainly low-to moderate-income persons, and support a wide range of community and economic development activities, such as public infrastructure improvements (which account for approximately 33 percent of all CDBG funds), housing rehabilitation and construction (approximately 25 percent of funds), job creation and retention, and public services (e.g., child care). 70 percent of the CDBG formula grants are distributed to mainly urban areas (entitlement communities), and 30 percent are distributed to the States (non-entitlement communities).

To modernize the 40-year-old CDBG program, HUD has developed a set of legislative proposals to ensure the program delivers value and results to the nation's communities, and more specifically to low- and moderate-income populations, for years to come. The proposal, titled "Moving CDBG Forward", is the result of a process initiated by HUD in 2013 that provided CDBG stakeholders the opportunity to assess the program and to recommend legislative, regulatory, and policy improvements. These recommendations, along with HUD's expertise administering the program and research conducted by HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research form the basis for the CDBG legislative reforms . This legislative package will focus on reforms that strengthen the CDBG program; help grantees target funding resources to areas of greatest need; enhance program accountability; synchronize critical program cycles with the consolidated plan cycle; reduce the number of small grantees; and provide more options for regional coordination, administration, and planning. Regional coordination will allow grantees to achieve administrative savings and pool resources to make strategic investment decisions. The Department will also evaluate a series of potential regulatory updates to the CDBG program, as significant portions of the CDBG regulations have not been updated in more than 20 years.

The Budget also proposes to increase the set-aside for colonias to allow for more funding to be directed to these rural border communities, many of which lack adequate water, sewer, decent housing, or a combination of the three. This change would increase the maximum set-aside for the colonias from 10 percent to 15 percent, and affects the state CDBG programs of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

In addition, the CDBG program is part of the proposed Upward Mobility Project, a new initiative to allow states, localities or consortia of the two to blend funding across four block grants, including the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Social Services Block Grant and Community Services Block Grant, as well as HUD's HOME Investment Partnerships Program and CDBG, that share a common goal of promoting opportunity and reducing poverty. In exchange for more accountability for results, state and localities would be able to use the funds beyond the current allowable purposes of these programs to implement evidence-based or promising strategies for helping individuals succeed in the labor market and improving economic mobility, children's outcomes, and the ability of communities to expand opportunity. Participating communities would also be eligible to receive a total of $1.5 billion in new funding through HHS, in addition to flexibility with currently provided resources.

The Budget also includes $80 million for the Indian Community Development program. This program provides grants to help develop viable American Indian and Alaska Native Communities with decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, primarily for low- and moderate-income persons. Within this program, up to $10 million will be used to help tribes attract and retain high-quality teachers in Indian Country by improving the availability and physical condition of teacher housing. This set-aside is one of several investments supporting Generation Indigenous, an Administration initiative focused on removing the barriers to success for Native youth. This initiative will take a comprehensive, culturally appropriate approach to help improve the lives and opportunities for Native youth.

This account also reflects $15.2 billion in CDBG funding (post-sequestration) appropriated by the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 113–2). These funds are intended primarily to respond to the effects of Hurricane Sandy, but are also available to respond to other significant Presidentially-declared disasters that occurred in calendar years 2011, 2012, and 2013. Approximately $1 billion of this amount has been reserved for the National Disaster Resilience Competition (NDRC), which HUD announced in September 2014. The NDRC will support innovative resilience projects at the local level while encouraging communities to adopt policy changes and activities that plan for the impacts of extreme weather and climate change and rebuild affected areas to be better prepared for the future. The Department expects to make NDRC awards late in 2015.

Other amounts reflected in this account include prior-year CDBG disaster supplemental funding, as well as funds provided by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act ($1 billion in CDBG formula grants and $2 billion for Neighborhood Stabilization Program II grants).

The 2016 Budget requests no funding for the Brownfields Economic Development Initiative (BEDI), which was a competitive grant program designed to assist cities with the redevelopment of brownfield sites for the purposes of economic development and job creation. Local governments have access to other public and private funds, including Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, for similar purposes. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113–235) directed the Department to rescind any unobligated balances and recaptures of BEDI funds.

The Budget requests $1.060 billion for the HOME Investments Partnership Program (HOME), of which $10 million is set aside for the Self-help Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP). The HOME Program provides flexible annual formula grant assistance to States and units of local government to increase the supply of affordable housing and expand homeownership for low- to very-low income persons through a wide range of activities that build, buy, and/or rehabilitate affordable housing. Sixty percent of the formula grant funds is awarded to participating local governments and 40 percent is awarded to states. Projects funded by HOME often leverage private dollars and are used in conjunction with other funds such as the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), Community Development Block Grant, and local funds. Over time, the requested HOME funding is estimated to result in the production of almost 39,000 units of affordable housing through new construction, rehabilitation, and/or acquisition. It is also estimated that communities will use a portion of their funding to support tenant-based rental assistance for more than 8,700 units.

The 2016 Budget proposes statutory changes that would allow recaptured Community Housing Development Organization funds to be reallocated by formula; establish a single qualification threshold of $500,000 irrespective of the appropriation amount; revise the current "grandfathering" provision so that participating jurisdictions that fall below the threshold three years out of a five-year period are ineligible for direct formula funds; allow nonprofit organizations that operate statewide to be designated as CHDOs by the State Participating Jurisdiction; and facilitate eviction of HOME rental unit tenants who pose an imminent threat to other residents' safety. When implemented, these changes will improve the targeting focus and effectiveness of the overall administration of the program.

In addition, the HOME program is part of the proposed Upward Mobility Project, a new initiative to allow states, localities or consortia of the two to blend funding across four block grants, including the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Social Services Block Grant and Community Services Block Grant, as well as HUD's Community Development Block Grant and HOME, that share a common goal of promoting opportunity and reducing poverty. In exchange for more accountability for results, state and localities would be able to use the funds beyond the current allowable purposes of these programs to implement evidence-based or promising strategies for helping individuals succeed in the labor market and improving economic mobility, children's outcomes, and the ability of communities to expand opportunity. Participating communities would also be eligible to receive a total of $1.5 billion in new funding through HHS, in addition to flexibility with currently provided resources.

SHOP is a competitive grant program that provides funds to increase the ability of non-profit organizations to assist low-income homebuyers willing to contribute "sweat equity" toward the construction of their homes. Communities can further leverage SHOP grants by using other sources of funding, including HOME funds, which can also be used for sweat equity projects. The 2016 Budget also proposes statutory changes that would improve the administration of the SHOP program. These include authorization to allow HUD to develop program regulations over five pages long, establish a standard grant term of 36 months, establish a deadline for completion of SHOP units, and explicitly include planning, administrative, and management costs as eligible activities.

The 2016 Budget proposes a $300 million mandatory appropriation for a new Local Housing Policy Grants program. This program would provide grants to localities and regional coalitions of localities to support new policies, programs or regulatory initiatives, such as design options, process changes, and land use regulations, to create a more elastic and diverse housing supply. The goal of this new initiative is to demonstrate that concentrated and coordinated efforts across a number of housing markets can significantly expand the supply and affordability of housing, increase access to jobs, and fuel economic growth. Funds would support activities that are necessary to support the new actions, including infrastructure expansion and/or improvement, market evaluation, code writing assistance, and stakeholder education and outreach.

The 2016 Budget requests no separate funding for the Self-Help and Assisted Homeownership Opportunity Program (SHOP) account. Instead, funding for the SHOP program is included as part of the request for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. Funding for capacity building activities is included as part the request for the Transformation Initiative (TI). Within TI, HUD will continue its integrated approach to technical assistance and capacity building, including activities to develop, enhance, and strengthen the technical and administrative capabilities of community development corporations to carry out community development and affordable housing activities for low- and moderate-income persons that support and address local needs and priorities.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) was first authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA) and funded at $3.92 billion. In response to the foreclosure crisis, HERA directed HUD to develop a formula to distribute the funds to State and local governments with the greatest need. Grantees were allowed to use NSP funds for a number of eligible activities, including establishing financing mechanisms; purchasing and rehabilitating abandoned or foreclosed properties; establishing land banks; demolishing blighted structures; and redeveloping vacant or demolished property.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) made several changes to the NSP program as enacted by HERA and appropriated an additional $2 billion in funding for the NSP program. The ARRA funding for the second round of NSP funding (NSP2) is reflected within the Community Development Fund account.

The Dodd-Frank Financial Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) appropriated an additional $1 billion for a third iteration of NSP (NSP3) in July 2010.

As of December 2014, NSP grantees had expended all but 0.7 percent of the total funds appropriated for all iterations of NSP. HUD is closely monitoring efforts to expend these funds consistent with NSP requirements and the Department's timeline for closing out all grants. HUD is providing technical assistance to grantees and may invoke sanctions for lack of performance, as appropriate.

The Homeless Assistance Grants account provides funds for the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and Continuum of Care (CoC) programs. These programs, which award funds through formula and competitive processes, enable localities to shape and implement comprehensive, flexible, coordinated approaches to address the multiple issues of homelessness.

The 2016 Budget provides $2.480 billion for a wide range of activities to assist homeless persons and prevent future occurrences of homelessness. The Budget supports $2.223 billion for the CoC program, including funding for competitive renewals, new permanent supportive housing for persons experiencing chronic homelessness, and new rapid re-housing for families with children experiencing homelessness; $250 million for ESG formula funding for communities to address emergency needs such as emergency shelter, street outreach, essential services, homelessness prevention, and rapid re-housing; and $7 million for the National Homeless Data Analysis Project.

Many communities have made great strides in creating comprehensive approaches to ending homelessness—particularly chronic homelessness—through the development of local plans. The 2016 Budget continues to support local efforts and makes further progress toward the Administration's goals of ending veteran homelessness in 2015, ending chronic homelessness in 2017, and ending homelessness for families, youth and children in 2020. In addition to targeted increases in HUD's Homeless Assistance Grants, the Budget provides 67,000 new Housing Choice Vouchers to support low-income households, including families experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic and dating violence, families with children in foster care, youth aging out of foster care, and homeless veterans, regardless of their discharge status.

The 2016 Budget proposes a permanent amendment to the HEARTH Act to allow non-profits to administer rental assistance. This would replace the annual appropriations language related to this proposal that was first enacted in 2014.

The 2016 Budget also proposes to amend Title V of the McKinney-Vento Act, which enables eligible organizations to use unutilized, underutilized, excess, or surplus Federal properties as facilities that assist homeless persons. As part of the Administration's efforts to improve Federal real property management, the amendments would improve the utility of the data provided to the public and support a more timely and effective process.

The Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 (P.L. 110–252) provided $73 million for permanent supportive housing assistance as referenced in the Road Home Program of the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA). Of the total amount appropriated, $50 million was for permanent supportive housing, serving approximately 1,000 homeless individuals and families living with disabilities. The LRA is eligible to apply for Homeless Assistance Grants to renew this assistance. Additionally, this account provided $23 million in project-based rental assistance vouchers to LRA to support an estimated 2,000 elderly and disabled disaster victims, as authorized. Beginning in 2010, these vouchers have been renewed within the Tenant-Based Rental Assistance account upon the termination of the original subsidy.

The Revolving Fund (liquidating programs) was established by the Independent Offices Appropriations Act of 1955 for the efficient liquidation of assets acquired under a number of housing and urban development programs, all of which are no longer active. For example, the Section 312 loan program portfolio, which provided first and junior lien financing at below market interest rates for the rehabilitation of homes in low-income neighborhoods, constituted a large portion of the account activities but has not originated new loans for over 20 years. The operational expenses are financed from a permanent, indefinite appropriation to administer the remaining repayments of loans and recaptures in the portfolio. Annually, any remaining unobligated balances in the account are returned to the Treasury.

The Community Development Loan Guarantee program (Section 108) supports economic development projects, housing rehabilitation, and the rehabilitation, construction or installation of public facilities for the benefit of low- to moderate-income persons or to aid in the prevention of slums. The 2016 Budget includes a guaranteed loan limit of $300 million, and does not request credit subsidy for the program. The Budget requires HUD to collect fees to offset credit subsidy costs such that the program operates at a zero credit subsidy cost. The Budget also proposes permanent legislative changes to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to align to the new fee structure. Carryover loan guarantee credit subsidy in this account will continue to be used until exhausted. The Department will issue regulations in 2015 to implement the new fee.

The Housing Trust Fund was authorized by section 1131 of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–289), which directed the account to be funded from assessments on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), as regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, suspended these assessments in November 2008. In December 2014, FHFA announced that the assessments would be reinstated effective January 2015, subject to the terms and conditions prescribed by FHFA.

The Budget estimates that $120 million will be allocated to the Housing Trust Fund in 2016 to provide grants to States to increase and preserve the supply of affordable rental housing and homeownership opportunities for extremely low- and very-low income families. Funds will be distributed by formula to States or State-designated entities to be used primarily for the construction, preservation, and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing, with up to ten percent of the funding for similar eligible activities that support homeownership. Of the total amounts made available, not less than 75 percent shall be used to benefit extremely low-income households, for whom the shortage of affordable housing is most acute.

The Budget requests $10.760 billion for Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA), of which $400 million is requested as an advance appropriation to become available in 2017. The PBRA program assists approximately 1.2 million extremely low- to low-income households in obtaining decent, safe, and sanitary housing in private accommodations. PBRA serves families, elderly and disabled households and provides transitional housing for the homeless. Through this funding, HUD supports approximately 17,300 contracts with private owners of multifamily housing by paying the difference between what a household can afford, generally 30 percent of its eligible income, and the approved market-based rent for a housing unit. The Budget continues to support the program's shift to a calendar year funding cycle and provides at least 12 months of funding for contracts from January to December 2016.

The Budget proposes legislative reforms to HUD's core rental assistance programs, including (1) allowing fixed-income families to recertify their incomes every three years; and (2) increasing the threshold used to determine deductions for unreimbursed medical expenses from 3 to 10 percent of family income. The Budget also includes the following proposals that are specific to the PBRA program: (1) establishes a demonstration allowing HUD to enter multi-year agreements to repay private investors who provide upfront funding for energy efficiency retrofits of HUD-assisted housing; and (2) amends the Low-Income Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act (LIHPRHA) to align prepayment and owner distribution policies in properties governed by LIHPRHA with other PBRA-assisted properties in order to facilitate preservation transactions. Finally, the Budget proposes to make owners of PBRA properties eligible to compete for funding through the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program. More information on this proposal is available under the FSS heading.

Program activities include the following:

Contract Renewals and Amendments.—These activities provide funding for HUD to renew expiring contracts and amend contracts that have not expired but require additional funding for HUD to meet remaining payment obligations. Appropriations for these activities are supplemented with recoveries of excess balances remaining on expired contracts that utilized less than anticipated resources during their initial terms.

Contract Administrators.—This activity funds the local level administration of the program through HUD agreements with performance-based contract administrators. These entities, which are typically public housing authorities or state housing finance agencies, are responsible for conducting on-site management reviews of assisted properties; adjusting contract rents; reviewing, processing, and paying monthly vouchers submitted by owners; renewing contracts with property owners; and responding to health and safety issues at properties. The Budget requests up to $215 million for this purpose.

Tenant Resource Network.—The Budget provides up to $3 million in 2016 for technical assistance to tenant groups, nonprofit groups, and public entities to support their efforts to preserve affordability of assisted properties and improve tenant services.

Housing for the elderly

For amendments to capital advance contracts for housing for the elderly, as authorized by section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959, as amended, and for project rental assistance for the elderly under section 202(c)(2) of such Act, including amendments to contracts for such assistance and renewal of expiring contracts for such assistance for up to a 1-year term, and for senior preservation rental assistance contracts, including renewals, as authorized by section 811(e) of the American Housing and Economic Opportunity Act of 2000, as amended, and for supportive services associated with the housing, [$420,000,000] $455,000,000 to remain available until September 30, [2018] 2019: Provided, That of the amount provided under this heading, up to [$70,000,000] $77,000,000 shall be for service coordinators and the continuation of existing congregate service grants for residents of assisted housing projects: Provided further, That amounts under this heading shall be available for Real Estate Assessment Center inspections and inspection-related activities associated with section 202 projects: Provided further, That the Secretary may waive the provisions of section 202 governing the terms and conditions of project rental assistance, except that the initial contract term for such assistance shall not exceed 5 years in duration: Provided further, That upon request of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, project funds that are held in residual receipts accounts for any project subject to a section 202 project rental assistance contract, and that upon termination of such contract are in excess of an amount to be determined by the Secretary, [up to $16,000,000 in any such excess amounts] shall be remitted to the Department and deposited in this account, to be available until September 30, [2018, for purposes under this heading, and shall be in addition to the amounts otherwise provided under this heading for such purposes] 2019: Provided further, That amounts deposited in this account pursuant to the previous proviso shall be available, in addition to the amounts otherwise provided by this heading, for the purposes authorized under this heading, and such funds, together with such other funds, may be used by the Secretary to support demonstration programs to test housing with services models for the elderly: Provided further, That unobligated balances, including recaptures and carryover, remaining from funds transferred to or appropriated under this heading in prior appropriations Acts may be used for the current purposes authorized under this heading, notwithstanding the purposes for which such funds were originally appropriated.

Since 1959, the Housing for the Elderly program (Section 202) has supported the construction and operation of supportive housing for very low-income elderly households, including frail elderly. The Budget provides $455 million for this program, including $365 million to renew and amend operating subsidy contracts for existing Section 202 housing, $77 million to support service coordinators who work on-site to help residents obtain critical services, such as benefit counseling, $10 million to extend and expand the Section 202 Demonstration authorized by the fiscal year 2014 appropriations act, and $3 million for property inspections and related expenses. The demonstration authority provides HUD an opportunity to develop a housing-with-services program for low-income elderly to test models with the potential to delay or avoid the need for nursing home care. The program will evaluate whether housing and supportive services with a health/wellness component can successfully and cost effectively help elderly residents maintain their housing and health while avoiding costly institutional care. The Budget also seeks renewed authority to make better use of existing resources. Using these, HUD will identify residual receipts collections, recaptures, and other unobligated balances to redirect as additional investments in housing for the elderly.

Since 1992, the Housing for Persons with Disabilities program (Section 811) has supported the development of supportive housing for very low-income people with disabilities. The Budget provides $177 million for this program, including $150 million to renew and amend operating subsidy contracts for existing Section 811 housing, $25 million for new Project Rental Assistance (PRA) awards to state housing agencies, and $2 million for property inspections and related expenses. The PRA awards will fund units that serve extremely low-income tenants with disabilities transitioning out of institutions, tenants with disabilities at high risk of institutionalization, or tenants with disabilities experiencing homelessness or at high risk of homelessness. HUD will continue to fund supportive housing projects in coordination with state housing and health care priorities. PRA projects must be leveraged with other capital resources, such as Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, HOME funds, and other Federal, state, and local programs, and only require Section 811 for operating assistance. Section 811 allows for states to leverage community-based care, to affirmatively address legal requirements for integrated housing, and to provide a platform for disabled persons to live independently in integrated community-based settings.

The Budget also continues authorities to make better use of existing resources. Using these, HUD will identify residual receipts collections, recaptures, and other unobligated balances to redirect as additional investments in PRA awards.

The Housing Counseling Assistance Program provides comprehensive housing counseling services to eligible homeowners and tenants through grants, oversight, technical assistance and training to non-profit intermediaries, state governmental entities, and other agencies with a local or national presence. Eligible counseling activities include pre- and post-purchase education, personal financial management, reverse mortgage counseling, foreclosure prevention, loss mitigation, homelessness prevention, and rental counseling. The objectives of the Housing Counseling program include overcoming barriers to stable and affordable housing, expanding homeownership opportunities, preventing foreclosure, and deterring discrimination, scams and fraud.

The 2016 Budget includes $60 million for this program, the bulk of which funds grants to HUD-approved Housing Counseling agencies for direct services. In particular, the Office of Housing Counseling is focused on expanding the number of counseled FHA borrowers and increasing access to resources that create more sustainable housing opportunities for households. As the economy improves and the number of first-time homebuyers increases, the need and demand for housing counseling will increase as well.

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Housing Counseling Assistance Program will implement and oversee the individual testing and certification of all housing counselors providing HUD-approved counseling and will launch the Office of Housing Counseling Federal Advisory Committee.

The Other Assisted Housing account contains the programs listed below:

Rent Supplement._Rent Supplement assistance payments will continue to be made on behalf of qualified low-income tenants in assisted units that have not converted to Section 8.

Section 235._The Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of 1983 (P.L. 98–181) authorized a restructured Section 235 (Homeownership Assistance) program that provided homeowners a 10-year interest reduction subsidy on their mortgages.

Section 236._The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, as amended, authorizes the Section 236 Rental Housing Assistance Program, which subsidizes the monthly mortgage payment that an owner of a rental or cooperative project is required to make. This interest subsidy reduces rents for lower income tenants. Some Section 236 properties also have rental assistance contracts with HUD through the Rental Assistance Payment (RAP) program.
As an increasing number of Rent Supplement and RAP rental assistance contracts reach the ends of their terms, HUD is taking steps to preserve this affordable housing stock . The Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) currently enables owners of properties with expiring Rent Supplement or RAP contracts to convert their assistance to long-term, project-based Section 8 contracts. More information on this Demonstration is available under the RAD heading.

The Flexible Subsidy Fund assisted financially troubled subsidized projects under certain Federal Housing Administration (FHA) authorities. The subsidies were intended to prevent potential losses to the FHA fund resulting from project insolvency and to preserve these projects as a viable source of housing for low and moderate-income tenants. Priority was given to projects with Federal insurance-in-force and then to those with mortgages that had been assigned to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

The HOPE for Homeowners program was created by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 to help homeowners at risk of default and foreclosure refinance into more affordable, sustainable loans. Under the Program, eligible homeowners refinanced their current mortgage loans into a new mortgage insured by FHA. The program ended on September 30, 2011. This account now only reflects the liquidation of prior year obligations. In 2016, excess HOPE Bond proceeds in the amount of $456 million will be a) transferred to the HOPE Reserve Fund, and b) used to retire the HOPE Bonds. Remaining HOPE Bond activity is shown in the HOPE Reserve Fund.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) provides mortgage insurance to encourage lenders to make credit available to borrowers for whom the conventional market does not adequately serve. These include first-time homebuyers, minorities, lower-income families, and residents of underserved areas (central cities and rural areas). In recent years, FHA has also provided broad access to credit as conventional financing became scarce.

In 2016, the Budget requests a limitation of $400 billion on loan guarantees for the Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI) Fund. The Budget projects insurance of $173.6 billion in single family forward mortgages and $15.1 billion in Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECMs) with additional commitment authority available in case these amounts are exceeded during execution.

The Budget requests an appropriation of $174 million in administrative expenses, which will allow FHA to implement improved risk management and program support processes which are critical for FHA's oversight of its insured portfolio. The Budget also requests authority to charge lenders an administrative support fee, which would generate an estimated $30 million in offsetting collections in this account. These additional resources will fund enhancements to administrative contract support and information technology, with a focus on increasing FHA's risk management efforts via expanded quality control sampling, enhanced tools and other risk management initiatives. Through these efforts, FHA will ensure lender compliance with FHA policies and reduce losses to the FHA insurance fund. The Budget allows for a transfer of up to $30 million from this account to the Office of Housing Salaries and Expenses account and the Information Technology Fund. Any funds transferred will be used for FHA salaries and expenses and information technology purposes and any unobligated balances will be transferred back to the MMI Program account.

FHA has made multiple policy changes to strengthen the MMI Fund, including increasing its annual premium five times since 2009. In June 2013, FHA ended its policy permitting borrowers to stop paying annual insurance premiums when their loans amortized to a certain percentage of the original principal balance. Also, FHA now requires manual underwriting for loans with credit scores below 620 and debt-to-income ratios greater than 43 percent to ensure that such borrowers possess compensating factors that accord with FHA underwriting guidelines. To improve access to credit without negatively impacting the trajectory of the MMI Capital Reserve Fund, FHA announced a 0.5 percentage point reduction in the annual insurance premium effective in January.

HUD is pursuing comprehensive legislative changes to give FHA the tools it needs to build upon the many administrative steps it has taken since 2009 to improve FHA Single Family Programs. These items will allow FHA to enhance enforcement, create certainty for FHA approved lenders, and increase loss mitigation opportunities for borrowers with FHA approved loans. In total, all these steps will reduce losses to the MMI Fund.

Enhanced Indemnification Authority to Obtain Indemnification for Direct Endorsement Lenders._To originate FHA insured loans, lenders must be approved by FHA to be either a Lender Insurance or a Direct Endorsement Lender. FHA can only seek indemnification from lenders with Lender Insurance approval. HUD seeks authority that would provide the ability to treat both classes of FHA approved lenders equally with respect to non-compliant loans.

Authority to Terminate Origination and Underwriting Approval._HUD continues to seek authority to terminate lender approval on a broader geographic basis for institutions with default rates significantly higher than their peers.

Directed Sub-Servicing._HUD seeks authority enabling FHA to, on a case by case basis, require third party servicing of loans by institutions better equipped to reduce losses to the fund and assist borrowers.

Revise FHA's Compare Ratio._In an effort to provide greater clarity and certainty to lenders while enabling FHA to more effectively minimize poor lender performance and resulting losses, HUD seeks legislative authority to revise the calculation for the Compare Ratio to better reflect the modern lending environment.

The Capital Reserve account is the ultimate depository for all net budgetary resources collected by the Mutual Mortgage Insurance (MMI) Fund programs. Negative credit subsidy receipts from new loan guarantees and downward re-estimates as well as interest earnings on Treasury investments are recorded in this account. This account has no authority to obligate funds but transfers balances of budget authority as necessary for the cost of upward credit subsidy re-estimates in the MMI Program Account.

This account includes credit subsidy budget authority and outlays for FHA's General Insurance and Special Risk Insurance (GI/SRI) Fund programs, including reestimates and modifications. These programs provide mortgage insurance for a variety of purposes, including financing for the development or rehabilitation of multifamily housing, nursing homes, and hospitals. The Budget requests a limitation of $30 billion on loan guarantees for the GI/SRI Fund. It does not request an appropriation of new credit subsidy funds.

In 2015, FHA established a partnership with the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) to provide FFB financing for multifamily loans guaranteed by FHA under the Housing Finance Agency (HFA) risk share program. FFB financing is designed to reduce the cost of funds supporting affordable rental housing and is available on an interim basis until the Congress approves the proposal to permit Ginnie Mae securitization of such mortgages, which is included in a general provision at the end of this budget chapter. These FFB-financed guaranteed loans are treated as direct loans in the Budget.

The National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974, as amended, authorizes the development and enforcement of appropriate standards for the construction, design, and performance of manufactured homes to assure their quality, durability, affordability, and safety. All manufactured homes produced since the standards took effect in 1976 must comply with Federal construction and safety standards. A majority of States participate in the program under compliance plans approved by HUD. Program requirements mandated by the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 include procurement of an Administering Organization, formation of a Consensus Committee to recommend revisions to and interpretations of the manufactured housing standards, development and implementation of standards for installation of manufactured housing, and development and implementation of a dispute resolution program.

Fees are charged to the manufacturers for each transportable section produced to offset the expenses incurred by the Department in carrying out the responsibilities under the authorizing legislation. The 2016 Budget proposes to fund the costs of authorized activities with an estimated $11 million in fees. In September of 2014, HUD increased the fee to $100 per label to ensure that HUD can continue to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The 2016 Budget also proposes a general provision that would allow HUD to implement future fee changes via notice.

Government National Mortgage Association

The Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) was formed by the Congress in 1968. It is a wholly owned government corporation within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). It was established to support Federal housing initiatives by providing liquidity to the secondary mortgage market and to attract capital from the global capital markets for the nation's mortgage markets. Its primary function is to guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest on Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) that are backed by loans insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Rural Development in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing.

In 2013, a Capital Reserve account was established for the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA). Financial reserves of GNMA were transferred from the Reserve Receipt and Liquidating accounts to the Capital Reserve account. This mandatory account earns interest on Treasury investments and is the eventual depository for all budgetary resources collected by GNMA including negative subsidy receipts from new security guarantees and downward re-estimates. This account has no authority to obligate funds but transfers resources to the GNMA Program Account as necessary for mandatory spending authorized in that account.

The Budget requests loan commitment authority of $500 billion in 2016. The Budget also requests $28.3 million for the personnel costs of the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), to be offset by Commitment and Multiclass fees. Before 2012, personnel expenses were funded in the "Office of Government National Mortgage Association" appropriation under the Management and Administration section of the HUD budget. This funding level will enable GMNA to keep pace with growing demands and respond to the complexities of the current market, including a growing number of security issuers and the entry of new types of issuer firms, such as non-depository institutions.

The Housing and Urban Development Act of 1970 directs the Secretary to undertake programs of research, studies, testing, and demonstrations related to HUD's mission. These functions are carried out by HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research, and through contracts with industry, nonprofit research organizations, educational institutions, and through cooperative agreements with State and local governments, other Federal agencies, and philanthropic entities.

The Budget requests $50 million for HUD's Research and Technology program. This request includes funding to restore and enhance various national housing surveys that are rich sources of data on the nation's housing stock, including the American Housing Survey, the Survey of New Home Sales and Completions, the Survey of Market Absorption of Multifamily Units, the Survey of New Manufactured Housing Placements, and the Rental Housing Finance Survey. Also included in the request is funding for research dissemination activities, for the Urban Data Systems, for housing finance studies, and for Research Partnerships. The data produced in the Research and Technology program also assists HUD in developing its Research Roadmap, and provides the basis for research and evaluation priorities in the Transformation Initiative program.

To improve the quality of Federal evaluations and to use resources efficiently, the Budget seeks expanded legislative flexibilities for HUD to spend funding recaptured from evaluations and surveys. This flexibility will allow HUD to better target funds to reflect changing circumstances in the program.

FHAP, authorized by Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, provides funding to State and local agencies to assure prompt and effective processing of complaints under substantially equivalent State and local fair housing laws. To be eligible for assistance through FHAP, an agency must demonstrate that the fair housing law it administers is substantially equivalent to the Fair Housing Act. It is estimated that there will be a total of 90 FHAP jurisdictions in 2016. The funding requested for FHAP will support fair housing enforcement by funding State and local fair housing organizations to meet the needs of currently underserved populations. It will also address the national and ongoing problem of discrimination against minority homebuyers and renters, as identified in the 2012 Housing Discrimination Against Racial and Ethnic Minorities Study.

FHIP, authorized by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, as amended by the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, provides funding to States and local governments, and to public and private non-profit organizations that administer programs to prevent or eliminate discriminatory housing practices through enforcement, education, and outreach.

The National Fair Housing Training Academy (NFTHA) provides comprehensive fair housing and civil rights training for investigators, local agencies, educators, attorneys, industry representatives and other housing industry professionals.

LEPI provides funds for oral interpretation and written translation services, which help make fair housing programs and activities accessible to people who are not proficient in English.

Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (Public Law 102–550), known as the Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act, authorized the Secretary to establish the Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program. The primary purpose of the program is to reduce the exposure of young children to lead-based paint and other environmental hazards in their homes, including protecting them from permanent developmental problems and asthma, and exposure to pesticides and carbon monoxide.

The program plays a critical role in addressing the number one environmental disease impacting children: lead poisoning. The Budget request of $120 million includes $93 million for HUD's Lead Hazard Control Program, $25 million for the Healthy Homes Program, and $2 million for technical studies. The Budget includes a provision that would allow the transfer of unobligated balances and recaptured funds from undersubscribed competitive programs to other competitive programs experiencing oversubscription. The Budget also includes a general provision that would grant the Secretary authority to carry out investigations, administer oaths, and subpoena documents related to violations of the Lead Disclosure provision of Title X. In addition, HUD will submit a legislative package with updates to program standards and definitions.

The Lead Hazard Control Grant Program provides grants of $1 million to $4 million to State and local governments and Indian tribes for control of lead-based paint hazards in private low-income rental and owner-occupied housing. The grants are also designed to facilitate the development of a housing maintenance and rehabilitation workforce trained in lead-safe work practices and a certified hazard evaluation and control industry. In awarding grants, HUD promotes the use of new, low-cost approaches to hazard control that can be replicated across the nation.

The Healthy Homes Program enables the Department to assess and control housing-related hazards that contribute to childhood diseases and injuries. With funding from this program, grantees implement and evaluate methods for controlling two or more housing-related diseases through a single intervention.

The Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes will continue its Technical Support program, which includes public education; support for State and local agencies, private property owners, HUD programs and field offices and professional organizations; technical studies to improve program policy and implementation; quality control to ensure that the evaluation and control of lead-based paint hazards is done properly in HUD-assisted housing; and development of standards, technical guidance, regulations and improved testing and hazard control methods.

The Transformation Initiative (TI), initiated in 2010, is a focused, systematic effort to increase the effectiveness of HUD's program and service delivery, improve program outcomes, and enable innovative approaches to address the nation's housing and urban development problems. A central concept of TI is to make the Department's investments increasingly coordinated, efficient, and effective by generating and communicating evidence and expertise in a cross-cutting way to those who need it. The 2016 Budget proposes transfers to TI of up to $120 million. The Budget proposes three complementary purposes for these funds: (1) research and evaluation, (2) program demonstrations, and (3) technical assistance and capacity building for HUD's customers and partners, including forms of assistance described under Sections 4(b)(1) and 4(b)(2) of the HUD Demonstration Act of 1993, as amended. Of the transfer total, the Budget proposes that at least $85 million shall be for technical assistance and capacity building.

The initiative's research, evaluation and demonstration priorities are informed by HUD's "Research Roadmap 2014–2018," developed by HUD's Office of Policy Development and Research (PD&R) through an extensive consultation and prioritization process. HUD is planning to refresh the Roadmap to ensure that the research agenda continues to address rapidly evolving housing and urban development challenges. The TI provides a predictable stream of funding for these research and evaluation projects and program demonstrations that will inform sound policymaking and effective program implementation. The TI supplements HUD's Research and Technology appropriations, which primarily fund housing data collection efforts such as the American Housing Survey. To improve the quality of Federal evaluations and to use resources efficiently, the Budget seeks expanded legislative flexibilities for HUD to spend funding recaptured from research, evaluation, and demonstrations.

Historically, HUD delivered program-oriented technical assistance. Through TI HUD has learned that it is more effective to provide comprehensive and coordinated assistance to help grantees, public housing authorities, and other customers implement affordable housing and community development programs. Technical assistance within TI enables HUD to deliver cross-program technical assistance that is responsive to the needs of HUD's customers. In 2016, HUD will continue its integrated approach to technical assistance piloted under Community Compass, and will dedicate a portion of funds under this program to develop, enhance, and strengthen the technical and administrative capabilities of community development corporations to carry out community development and affordable housing activities for low- and moderate-income persons that support and address local needs and priorities. Technical assistance will focus on integrated management and planning across programs and jurisdictions, improved use of data to drive decision-making and results, addressing staff turnover and capacity through the availability of online resources and training, and delivering comprehensive capacity building to help distressed communities position themselves for revitalization and economic growth.

The following table illustrates the estimated transfers from HUD's programs into the Transformation Initiative account in 2016.
