Quarter of Calendar Year 2005

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel, HUD.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Section 106 of the Department of Housing and Urban Development 
Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform Act) requires HUD to publish 
quarterly Federal Register notices of all regulatory waivers that HUD 
has approved. Each notice covers the quarterly period since the 
previous Federal Register notice. The purpose of this notice is to 
comply with the requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. This 
notice contains a list of regulatory waivers granted by HUD during the 
period beginning on July 1, 2005, and ending on September 30, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this 
notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Assistant General Counsel for 
Regulations, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Room 10276,Washington, DC 20410-0500, telephone (202) 708-
3055 (this is not a toll-free number). Persons with hearing-or speech-
impairments may access this number through TTY by calling the toll-free 
Federal Information Relay Service at 800-877-8339.
    For information concerning a particular waiver that was granted and 
for which public notice is provided in this document, contact the 
person whose name and address follow the description of the waiver 
granted in the accompanying list of waivers that have been granted in 
the third quarter of calendar year 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act added a 
new section 7(q) to the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act 
(42 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides that:
    1. Any waiver of a regulation must be in writing and must specify 
the grounds for approving the waiver;
    2. Authority to approve a waiver of a regulation may be delegated 
by the Secretary only to an individual of Assistant Secretary or 
equivalent rank, and the person to whom authority to waive is delegated 
must also have authority to issue the particular regulation to be 
waived;
    3. Not less than quarterly, the Secretary must notify the public of 
all waivers of regulations that HUD has approved, by publishing a 
notice in the Federal Register. These notices (each covering the period 
since the most recent previous notification) shall:
    a. Identify the project, activity, or undertaking involved;
    b. Describe the nature of the provision waived and the designation 
of the provision;
    c. Indicate the name and title of the person who granted the waiver 
request;
    d. Describe briefly the grounds for approval of the request; and
    e. State how additional information about a particular waiver may 
be obtained.
    Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act also contains requirements 
applicable to waivers of HUD handbook provisions that are not relevant 
to the purpose of this notice.
    This notice follows procedures provided in HUD's Statement of 
Policy on Waiver of Regulations and Directives issued on April 22, 1991 
(56 FR 16337) (1991 Policy Statement). This notice covers waivers of 
regulations granted by HUD from July 1, 2005, through September 30, 
2005. For ease of reference, the waivers granted by HUD are listed by 
HUD program office (for example, the Office of Community Panning and 
Development, the Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity, the 
Office of Housing, and the Office of Public and Indian Housing, etc.). 
Within each program office grouping, the waivers are listed 
sequentially by the regulatory section of title 24 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (CFR) that is being waived. For example, a waiver 
of a provision in 24 CFR part 58 would be listed before a waiver of a 
provision in 24 CFR part 570.
    Where more than one regulatory provision is involved in the grant 
of a particular waiver request, the action is listed under the section 
number of the first regulatory requirement that appears in 24 CFR and 
that is being waived. For example, a waiver of both Sec.  58.73 and 
Sec.  58.74 would appear sequentially in the listing under Sec.  58.73.
    Waiver of regulations that involve the same initial regulatory 
citation are in time sequence beginning with the earliest-dated 
regulatory waiver.
    Should HUD receive additional information about regulatory waivers 
granted during the period covered by this report (the third quarter of 
calendar year 2005) before the next report is published (the fourth 
quarter of calendar year 2005), HUD will include any additional waivers 
granted for the third quarter in the next report.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

    Dated: February 8, 2006.
Keith E. Gottfried,
General Counsel.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 91.15(a)(2).
    Project/Activity: The County of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, requested 
waiver of 24 CFR 91.15(a)(2) of the consolidated plan submission

    Granted by: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: August 1, 2005.
    Reasons Waived: The Commonwealth has addressed numerous performance 
and compliance deficiencies, reorganized the administration of its HOME

capacity to successfully implement the HOME program to provide 
affordable housing for low-income families.

91.15(a)(2) to extend its submission deadline for its FY2004 
consolidated action plan until 45 days after it is notified of HUD's 
approval of its waiver request. The waiver allows the city to amend its 
FY2004 consolidated action plan to include its FY2003 and FY2004 ADDI 
programs, and enables the city to use its FY2003 and FY2004 ADDI 
program funds to assist first time homebuyers.
    Contact: Martha Murray, Office of Community Planning and 
Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh

Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: August 1, 2005.

fails to meet the affordability requirements for the period specified 
in 24 CFR 92.252 be repaid by the participating jurisdiction to its 
HOME account.
    Granted by: Pamela H. Patenaude, Assistant Secretary for Community 
Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: September 20, 2005.
    Reasons Waived: In lieu of repayment, the Dakota County Consortium

requirements to the substitute property for the remainder of the 
affordability period.

    Granted by: Nelson Bregon, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for

    Nature of Requirement: Section 200.40 establishes fees to be 
applied to Mark-to-Market transactions with FHA insured mortgages. The 
intent of this provision is to provide an extra incentive to encourage 
owner cooperation with the process in a timely manner.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: August 2, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The projects listed above were FHA insured and 
incentives were necessary to encourage cooperation.
    Contact: Norman Dailey, Office of Affordable Housing Preservation, 
Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20410-8000; telephone (202) 708-0614, ext. 8371.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 203.371(b)(3), 203.414, 203.402(g)(2).
    Project/Activity: Assist victims of Hurricane Katrina impacted by 
above provisions.
    Nature of Requirement: These sections that address partial claims 
were waived to assist in dealing with Hurrican Disaster Relief.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: September 22, 2005.
    Reason Waived: To assist in dealing with Hurricane Disaster Relief.
    Contact: Ray D. Washington, Office of Single Family Housing Asset 
Management, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000; telephone (202) 708-0614, ext. 
2378.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 203.37(a).
    Project/Activity: Presidential declared disaster areas caused by 
Hurricane Katrina.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 24 CFR 203.37a(b)(2) 
provides that properties that have a resale date 90 days or less 
following the date of acquisition by the seller are not eligible for an 
FHA insured mortgage.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: September 28, 2005.
    Reason Waived: It is recognized that safe and adequate housing is a 
major factor in the restoration and stabilization of communities 
following a natural disaster. Investors and developers can play a major 
role in the recovery of housing stock in the hurricane ravaged areas. 
The urgent need to increase housing stock outweighs the property 
flipping issues in this case.

Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20410-8000; telephone (202) 708-0614, ext. 
3989.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b).
    Project/Activity: Wellesley Townhouses Cooperative, Romulus, 
Michigan, Project numbers 044-55058, 044-55059, 044-55060, 044-55061; 
and 044-55062.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 219.220(b) governs the repayment of 
operating assistance provided under the Flexible Subsidy Program for 
Troubled Projects prior to May 1, 1996 states: ``Assistance that has 
been paid to a project owner under this subpart must be repaid at the 
earlier of the expiration of the term of the mortgage, termination of 
mortgage insurance, prepayment of the mortgage, or sale of the 
project.'' These actions would typically terminate FHA involvement with 
the property, and the Flexible Subsidy loan would be repaid, in whole, 
at that time.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: September 28, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary for Housing granted waiver 
of this request. Wellesley Townhouses Cooperative has requested 
prepayment approval of the insured mortgage to refinance with a non-
insured lender. Refinancing will provide sufficient funds for the 
Cooperative's capital improvement and repair program and allow the 
property to continue as a well-maintained source of affordable housing. 
The property will mature on December 1, 2011. The owner proposes to 
extend the property's current affordable use restriction for an 
additional 30 years, through December 1, 2041. Ninety-five percent of 
the residents have incomes below the market interest rate income level. 
If this waiver were not granted, those residents not receiving Section 
8 assistance could be adversely affected by an increase in their rent 
to cover the cost of immediate repayment of the Flexible Subsidy loan 
in full.

Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20410-7000, telephone (202) 708-3730, ext. 2598.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 234.1(a).
    Project/Activity: Kokanee Creek Condominiums (formerly known as 
Airport Road Townhomes), Everett, WA.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD's regulations at 24 CFR 234.1(a) 
excludes manufactured homes from being insured as individual units 
under section 234 of the National Housing Act.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: September 27, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The homes had received extensive engineering 
analyses including HUD approval of an alternate construction request to 
build townhouse type construction. The project was strongly supported 
by the local housing authority by providing land and other financial 
resources.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 401.461(b)(1).
    Project/Activity: The following project requested a waiver to the 
simple interest requirement on the second mortgage to allow compound 
interest at the applicable Federal Rate. (24 CFR 401.461):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
             FHA No.                      Project              State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
034-35185.......................  Cobbs Creek NSA........  PA
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nature of Requirement: Section 401.461 requires that the second 
mortgages have an interest rate not more than the applicable federal 
rate. Section 401.461(b)(1) states that interest will accrue but not 
compound. The intent of simple interest instead of compound interest is 
to limit the size of the second mortgage accruals to increase the 
likelihood of long-term financial and physical integrity.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: July 13, 2005.
    Reason Waived: This regulatory restriction would be construed as a 
form of federal subsidy, thereby creating a loss of tax credit equity. 
This loss will adversely affect the ability to close the Restructuring 
Plan and could cause the loss or deterioration of these affordable 
housing projects. Therefore, compound interest is necessary for the 
owner to obtain Low Income Housing Tax Credits under favorable terms 
and in order to maximize the savings to the Federal Government.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c).
    Project/Activity: Parker Heights Apartments, Parker, Pennsylvania, 
FHA Project Number 033-EE019.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 24 CFR 891 require 
occupancy to be limited to Very Low Income elderly persons (i.e., 
households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom is 62 
years of age at the time of initial occupancy). Regulations also 
require that an owner is to determine the eligibility in selecting 
tenants.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: July 29, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary for Housing granted waiver 
of this request based on the project's difficulty in maintaining full 
occupancy. This is a 27-unit property located in a very rural area with 
few conveniences for senior citizens. There are currently 7 vacant 
units with one notice to vacate. While nearby Housing Authorities have 
persons on their waiting lists who are age/income eligible, they are 
not interested in moving to Parker Heights. Management has continued to 
aggressively market the property but the property is still experiencing 
occupancy problems. This waiver will allow the property to rent to 
persons who are at the low-income limits between 51 and 80 percent of 
area median income, and to persons who are near-elderly, between the 
ages of 50 and 62. This will allow the owner flexibility in renting 
these vacant units and perhaps start a waiting list.

    Project/Activity: Chestnut Manor Apartments, Weirton, West 
Virginia, FHA Project Number 045-HD032.
    Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 24 CFR 891 require 
occupancy to be limited to Very Low Income elderly persons (i.e., 
households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom is 62 
years of age at the time of initial occupancy). Regulations also 
require that an owner is to determine the eligibility in selecting 
tenants.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: July 29, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary for Housing granted this 
waiver to alleviate current vacancy problems. This 20-unit property has 
a Section 811 Capital Advance for the disabled and subsidized 100 
percent through a Project Rental Assistance Contract. The property was 
granted occupancy in 2004 and has still not reached 97 percent 
occupancy. Due to market problems, the property has experienced a 
vacancy rate of at least 47 percent since initial occupancy. There are 
currently 8 vacancies. The management agent continues to work closely 
with community organizations, as well as advertise through the media to 
attract very low-income persons with disabilities. This waiver allows 
the owner to permit admission of lower-income applicants when there are 
no very-low income applicants to fill vacancies. This waiver will allow 
the property additional flexibility in attempting to rent vacant units 
and perhaps start a waiting list.

    Nature of Requirement: HUD regulations at 24 CFR 891 requires 
occupancy to be limited to Very Low Income elderly persons (i.e., 
households composed of one or more persons at least one of whom is 62 
years of age at the time of initial occupancy). Regulations also 
require that an owner is to determine the eligibility in selecting 
tenants.
    Granted by: Brian D. Montgomery, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: August 30, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The Assistant Secretary for Housing granted this 
waiver to alleviate the current occupancy problem at this project. This 
is a 16-unit property with 15 of its units covered under a Project 
Rental Assistance Contract. There are currently 13 vacant units. The 
project has not reach 97 percent occupancy since it was granted 
occupancy in August 2004. The property owner continues to aggressively 
advertise and market the property. The Housing Authority of Mingo 
County has advised they have approximately 1,100 persons on their 
waiting list with only three of those eligible for the Oaks. This 
waiver will permit admission of lower-income (persons with incomes 
between 50 and 80 percent of median income) elderly applicant when 
there are no very-low income elderly applicants to fill vacancies. 
Current occupancy levels will not support operations of the project. 
This waiver will allow additional flexibility in renting up vacant 
units and perhaps start a waiting list.

please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows the 
description of the waiver granted.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40.
    Project/Activity: Hamtramck Housing Authority (MI004) Hamtramck, 
MI,
    Nature of Requirement: The objective of the Management Operations 
Indicator of the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) is to measure 
certain key management operations and

[[Page 8769]]

responsibilities of a public housing agency (PHA) or the purpose of 
assessing the PHA's management operations capabilities. The PHA is 
required to submit its management operations certification within two 
months after the PHA's fiscal year end. The PHA requested a waiver of 
the submission due date.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: August 17, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The PHA's management operations certification was 
submitted timely, but was rejected because someone other than the 
Executive Director (ED), who was removed from office, submitted it. The 
PHA justified the reason for the removal of the ED, and the problems 
encountered during the transition. The PHA was granted a waiver of the 
submission due date to resubmit its management operations 
certification.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.30.
    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of Orange (TX037), 
Orange, TX.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 902.30 establishes 
that the audited financial statements be submitted no later than nine 
months after the PHA's fiscal year end, in accordance with the Single 
Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. The PHA requested a 30-day extension 
of the due date to submit its audited financial data.
    Granted By: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: August 17, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The PHA's auditor was able to complete two of the 
three submission steps on the evening of June 30, 2005, but when the 
PHA attempted to electronically file the audited submission, it 
encountered system problems, and could not access the system to 
electronically file the audited submission. The PHA documented through 
screen shots the access and system problems encountered. The PHA 
attempted to submit its audited financial submission on time and the 
documentation provided gave evidence that the circumstances surrounding 
the failure to complete the submission were unusual and beyond the 
PHA's control.

    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of New Orleans (LA001), New 
Orleans, LA.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 902.30 establishes 
that the audited financial statements be submitted no later than nine 
months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal year end, in 
accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. The PHA 
requested a waiver of the audited financial submission due date because 
of complex financial transactions and other mitigating circumstances 
including eight complex mixed finance transactions, and change in 
accounting methods.
    Granted By: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: August 30, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The circumstances surrounding the submission were 
unusual and beyond the PHA's control. The PHA staff was unfamiliar and 
inexperienced with mixed finance transactions and accounting 
procedures. The PHA was granted thirty days to complete and resubmit 
the audited financial information.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.30.
    Project/Activity: Dallas Housing Authority (TX009), Dallas, TX.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 902.30 establishes 
that the Audited financial statements be submitted no later than nine 
months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal year end, in 
accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. Due to an 
unforeseen issue, the PHA had to reissue its 2003 annual financial 
audit before issuing its 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: September 28, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An unforeseen issue that was not identified at the 
time of the engagement contract, pertaining to the accelerated 
depreciation related to the demolition of an apartment project, caused 
the current auditors to require re-issuance of the PHA's 2003 annual 
financial audit from the prior audit firm. Due to this unforeseen 
issue, the PHA had to reissue its 2003 annual financial audit before 
issuing its 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The PHA 
received an extension of the due date to October 28, 2005, to complete 
and submit the audited financial information.

     Regulation: CFR 982.505(c)(3).
    Project/Activity: Longmont Housing Authority (LHA), Longmont, CO. 
The LHA requested a waiver of payment standard (PS) requirements to 
permit it to implement reduced PSs earlier than required to avoid 
termination of housing assistance payments (HAP) contracts during 
calendar year 2005 due to insufficient funding.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(c)(3) states that if the 
amount on the PS schedule is decreased during the term of the HAP 
contract, the lower PS amount generally must be used to calculate the 
monthly HAP for the family beginning at the effective date of the 
family's second regular reexamination following the effective date of 
the decrease.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 28, 2005.

    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 28, 2005.

     Regulation: Section II subpart F of the January 16, 2001, 
Federal Register notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance

    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of Winston-Salem (HAWS), 
Winston-Salem, NC. The HAWS requested an exception to the 25 percent 
cap on the number of units that can have PBA attached in a building to

    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart F of the initial guidance 
requires that not more than 25 percent of the dwelling units in any 
building may be assisted under a housing assistance payments (HAP) 
contract for PBA except for dwelling units that are specifically made 
available for elderly families, disabled families and families 
receiving supportive services. Until regulations are promulgated 
regarding the category of families receiving supportive services, 
Headquarters has been authorizing implementation of this aspect of the 
law on a case-by-case basis.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 27, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An exception to the 25 percent cap was granted 
since, through partnerships developed in conjunction with the 
development of a HOPE VI Community and Supportive Services plan, a full 
array of supportive services will be provided based on the individual 
family's case management assessment. The following supportive services 
will be available through these partnerships: employment assistance; 
entrepreneurship training; childcare, and transportation. The partners 
include: Winston-Salem Transit Authority; Goodwill Industries;

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(d).
    Project/Activity: Chicago Housing Choice Voucher Program (CHAC), 
Chicago, IL. The CHAC is requesting approval of a special exception 
payment standard that exceeds 120 percent of the fair market rent as a 
reasonable accommodation for a housing choice voucher holder's 
disability.
    Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 982.505(d) allows a PHA to approve a 
higher payment standard within the basic range for a family that 
includes a person with a disability as a reasonable accommodation in 
accordance with 24 CFR part 8.
    Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant Secretary for Public and Indian 
Housing.
    Date Granted: July 25, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the waiver was granted to allow a 
disabled housing choice voucher holder to continue to remain in her 
current unit because it is in close proximity of the services she 
utilizes and so she can live independently.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(3).
    Project/Activity: Rochester Housing Authority (RHA), Rochester, NY. 
The RHA requested a waiver of payment standard (PS) requirements to 
permit it to implement reduced PSs earlier than required to avoid 
termination of housing assistance payments (HAP) contracts during 
calendar year 2005 due to insufficient funding.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(c)(3) states that if the 
amount on the PS schedule is decreased during the term of the HAP 
contract, the lower PS amount generally must be used to calculate the 
monthly HAP for the family beginning at the effective date of the 
family's second regular reexamination following the effective date of 
the decrease.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 22, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted because this cost-saving 
measure would enable the RHA to both manage its Housing Choice Voucher 
program within allocated budget authority and avoid the termination of 
HAP contracts due to insufficient funding.

Federal Register notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance 
(PBA) Program; Initial Guidance.
    Project/Activity: Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), Chicago, IL. The 
CHA requested an exception to the deconcentration requirements to 
permit it to attach PBA to 50 units in Cleveland Tower. The project is 
located in census tract 819 that has a poverty rate of 66.1 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be 
in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 22, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An exception to the deconcentration requirements was 
granted since in the prior six months, nine properties in the census 
tract have sold for prices ranging from $326,000 to $919,000 with an 
average sales price of $553,722. Across the street from the western 
boundary of the census tract and two blocks west of Cleveland Tower are 
two new developments, Domain

[[Page 8771]]

Lofts and River Village. The average sales price for a unit in Domain 
Lofts is $613,770 and $650,000 is the average sales price for a unit in 
River Village. This housing activity is consistent with the goal of 
deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic 
opportunities.

CHA requested an exception to the deconcentration requirements to 
permit it to attach PBA to 39 units in the Washington Park Single Room 
Occupancy project. The project is located in census tract 3818 that has 
a poverty rate of 49.8 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be 
in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 22, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An exception to the deconcentration requirements was 
granted since the project is located in a HUD-designated Enterprise 
Zone. The purpose of establishing Enterprise Zones is to open new 
businesses, and create jobs, housing, and new educational and 
healthcare opportunities for thousands of Americans. The goals of an 
Enterprise Zone are consistent with the goal of deconcentrating poverty 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities.

    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 20, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An exception to the deconcentration requirements was 
granted since the project is located in the Kingston-Newburgh's HUD-
designated Enterprise Community. The purpose of establishing enterprise 
communities is to open new businesses, and create jobs, housing, and 
new educational and healthcare opportunities for thousands of 
Americans. The goals of an enterprise community are consistent with the 
goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic 
opportunities.

     Regulation: Section II subpart F of the January 16, 2001, 
Federal Register notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance 
Program; Initial Guidance.
    Project/Activity: Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community 
Development (DHCD), Boston, MA. The DHCD requested an exception to the 
25 percent cap on the number of units in a building that can have PBA 
attached to permit it to attach PBA to 15 units at the Earle Street 
project.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart F of the initial guidance 
requires that unless waived, no more than 25 percent of the dwelling 
units in any building may be assisted under a housing assistance 
payments (HAP) contract for PBA except for dwelling units that are 
specifically made available for elderly families, disabled families and 
families receiving supportive services. Until regulations are 
promulgated regarding the category of families receiving supportive 
services, Headquarters is authorizing implementation of this aspect of 
the law on a case-by-case basis.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 17, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Approval of an exception to the unit cap was granted 
based on the nature of the services families would receive. The 
services families will receive focus on obtaining and retaining 
financial and medical benefits, behavior assessments, transportation, 
and eviction prevention.

    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of Christian County (HACC), 
Pana, IL. The HACC requested a waiver of payment standard (PS) 
requirements to permit it to implement reduced PSs earlier than 
required to avoid termination of housing assistance payments (HAP) 
contracts during calendar year 2005 due to insufficient funding.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(c)(3) states that if the 
amount on the PS schedule is decreased during the term of the HAP 
contract, the lower PS amount generally must be used to calculate the 
monthly HAP for the family beginning at the effective date of the 
family's second regular reexamination following the effective date of 
the decrease.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 15, 2005.

program within allocated budget authority and avoid the termination of 
HAP contracts due to insufficient funding.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 983.51(a), (b) and (c) and 
983.7(f)(2)(ii), Section II subpart E of the January 16, 2001, Federal 
Register notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance (PBA) 
Program; Initial Guidance, and 24 CFR 983.203(a)(3).
    Project/Activity: Peoria Housing Authority (PHA), Peoria, IL. The 
PHA requested a waiver of the competitive selection requirements, an 
exception to the deconcentration requirements and a waiver of waiting 
list requirements to permit it to attach PBA to six units in the second 
phase of River West South, a HOPE VI project.
    Nature of Requirement: Sections 983.51(a), (b) and (c) and 
983.7(f)(2)(ii) require that the public housing agency (PHA) adopt a 
written policy establishing competitive procedures for selection of 
owner proposals and, if the PHA submits a proposal for units it owns, 
the HUD field office makes the selection in accordance with the PHA's 
unit selection policy. Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be 
in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent. The 
regulation at 24 CFR 983.203(a)(2) states that if a PHA opts to have a 
separate PBA waiting list, it may use a single waiting list for all PBA 
projects or may use a separate PBA waiting list for an area not smaller 
than a county or municipality.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 15, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Competitive selection of owner proposals was waived 
since the project, with the Peoria Housing Authority as developer, was 
competitively selected by the Department to receive a HOPE VI grant to 
redevelop the former Warner Homes and the surrounding area. An 
exception to the deconcentration requirements was granted since there 
will be a decrease of 174 assisted units in the census tract. A waiver 
of the waiting list requirements was approved since Section 8(o)(13)(J) 
of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended, allows, subject to a PHA's 
waiting list policies and selection preferences, the maintenance of 
separate waiting lists for PBA structures as long as all families on 
the PHA's waiting list for both tenant-based assistance and PBA can 
place their names on any of the separate PBA waiting lists. The PBA 
program proposed rule published in the Federal Register on March 18, 
2004, addressed the implementation of this aspect of the law by 
allowing PHAs to use separate waiting lists for PBA units.

     Regulation: Section II subpart E of the January 16, 2001, 
Federal Register notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance 
(PBA) Program; Initial Guidance.
    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of Hartford (HACH), 
Hartford, CT. The HACH requested an exception to the initial guidance 
for the Community Renewal Team project that is located in a census 
tract with a poverty rate greater than 20 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E requires that all new 
project-based assistance agreements or HAP contracts be for units in 
census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 15, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the exception for deconcentration was 
granted since the PBA units would be located in an area in which major 
economic development projects are under construction including a 
shopping center, first time homebuyers assistance for 26 units, and 
social services programs focusing on employment and job training 
development. Such activities support the goal of deconcentrating 
poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities and the 
exception was therefore granted.

    Project/Activity: Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community 
Development (DHCD), Boston, MA. The DHCD requested an exception to the 
initial guidance for the HarborCOV 63 Washington Street project that is 
located in a census tract with a poverty rate greater than 20 percent. 
The DHCD also requested an exception to the 25 percent cap on the 
number of units in a building that can have PBA attached to permit it 
to attach PBA to 24 units at the HarborCOV 63 Washington Street 
project.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E requires that all new 
project-based assistance agreements or HAP contracts be for units in 
census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent. Section II 
subpart F of the initial guidance requires that unless waived, no more 
than 25 percent of the dwelling units in any building may be assisted 
under a housing assistance payments (HAP) contract for PBA except for 
dwelling units that are specifically made available for elderly 
families, disabled families and families receiving supportive services. 
Until regulations are promulgated regarding the category of families 
receiving supportive services, Headquarters is authorizing 
implementation of this aspect of the law on a case-by-case basis.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 15, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Approval of the exception for deconcentration was 
granted since the poverty rate significantly decreased from the 1990 
census as a result of public and private investment and redevelopment 
in the area. New jobs have been created and the construction of a 200-
unit luxury rental development will attract higher income residents 
thereby resulting in a drop in the poverty rate.
    An exception to the unit cap was granted based on the nature of the 
services families would receive. The services will focus on economic 
self-sufficiency including economic literacy, education training and 
employment opportunities.

requirements, to permit it to attach PBA to 11 units at the Champion 
Park Development.
    Nature of Requirement: Regulations at 24 CFR 983.51(a) (b) and (c) 
require that the public housing agency (PHA) adopt a written policy 
establishing competitive procedures for selection of owner proposals 
and, if the PHA submits a proposal for units it owns, the HUD field 
office makes the selection in accordance with the PHA's unit selection 
policy. Regulations at 24 CFR 983.56 require HUD field office review 
and approval of owner applications for project-based voucher 
assistance.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 13, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Competitive selection of owner proposals was waived 
since the developer, of the project was competitively selected by the 
Department to receive a HOPE VI grant to redevelop a severely 
distressed public housing project.

    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of Stamford (HACS), 
Stamford, CT. The HACS requested a waiver of the competitive selection 
requirements, an exception to the 25 percent cap on the number of units 
that can have PBA attached in a building, and a waiver of waiting list 
requirements to permit it to attach PBA to 13 units at Fairfield 
Commons, 10 units at Taylor Street Apartments and 50 units at Richmond 
Hill Apartments.
    Nature of Requirement: Regulations at 24 CFR 983.51(a) (b) and (c), 
983.55(a) and (d), 983.56(c), and Section 983.7(f)(2)(ii) require that 
the public housing agency (PHA) adopt a written policy establishing 
competitive procedures for selection of owner proposals and, if the PHA 
submits a proposal for units it owns, the HUD field office makes the 
selection in accordance with the PHA's unit selection policy. Section 
II subpart F requires that no more than 25 percent of the dwelling 
units in any building may be assisted under a housing assistance

promulgated regarding the category of families receiving supportive 
services, Headquarters has been authorizing implementation of this

list, it may use a single waiting list for all PBA projects or may use 
a separate PBA waiting list for an area not smaller than a county or 
municipality.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 8, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Competitive selection of owner proposals was waived 
since the co-developer for Taylor Street Apartments and Richmond Hill 
(Alpert Group of New Jersey) and the co-developer of Fairfield Commons 
(Mutual Housing Association of Southwestern Connecticut) were 
competitively selected by the HACS as the HOPE VI partner in an open 
procurement process. An exception to the 25 percent cap was granted for 
the 13 units at Fairfield Commons since families receiving supportive 
services through the HACS' Family Self-Sufficiency program will occupy 
the units. A waiver of the waiting list requirements was granted since 
Section 8(o)(13)(J) of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937 as amended, allows, 
subject to a PHA's waiting list policies and selection preferences, the 
maintenance of separate waiting lists for PBA structures as long as all

    Project/Activity: Marin County Housing Authority (MCHA), Marin 
County, CA. The MCHA requested an exception to the deconcentration 
requirements to permit it to attach PBA to10 units at Casa Vista 
Apartments in census tract 1122 with a poverty rate of 20.99 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be 
in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: July 8, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An exception to the deconcentration requirements was 
granted since there are currently two publicly sponsored projects 
within the census tract (the expansion and improvement of the 
Pickleweed Park Community Center and streetscape improvements to a 
critical intersection within the Canal Area Housing Improvement Program 
area). The combined public and private investment in these two 
initiatives is approximately $8 million. Each project has a local 
hiring mandate where, to the extent that local residents participate in 
the projects through apprenticeship programs, they will have an 
opportunity to secure membership in a trade union and be eligible for 
union wages. Other planned economic development activities in the 
census tract include, but are not limited to, a Best Buy store, the 
remodeling of a Toyota car dealership, and a Hilton Gardens Hotel. The 
planned development of these projects represents a high level of 
private investment within the census tract and a significant number of 
construction and permanent jobs.

Gettysburg, PA. The ACHA requested a waiver ineligible housing types so 
that it could attach project-based assistance (PBA) eight units at 
Oxford Manor.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 983.7(c)(5) states that a public

    Date Granted: August 11, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted since 24 CFR 983.54(f) of the 
project-based voucher program proposed rule published in the Federal 
Register on March 18, 2004, lifted that restriction. That section of 
the proposed rule specifically states that a PHA may attach assistance

Federal Register notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based Assistance 
(PBA) Program; Initial Guidance.
    Project/Activity: Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA), Charlotte, NC. 
The CHA requested an exception to the deconcentration requirements so 
that it could attach PBA to 60 units at 940 Brevard. The project is 
located in census tract 6 that has a poverty rate of 47.3 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be 
in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: August 11, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An exception to the deconcentration requirements was 
granted since this project is part of the Belmont Area Revitalization 
Plan that calls for significant infrastructure and housing investment. 
Public and private investment in the Belmont neighborhood includes $15 
million committed by the City of Charlotte and $65 million committed by 
Wachovia Bank in support of the Piedmont Courts HOPE VI project, which 
is designed to create a mixed income community. As a result, over the 
past 18 months, single-family home sales in the Belmont area have 
increased from $50,000-$60,000 to $110,000-$132,000. This housing 
activity is consistent with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and 
expanding housing and economic opportunities.

    Project/Activity: Charlotte Housing Authority (CHA), Charlotte, NC. 
The CHA requested an exception to the deconcentration requirements and 
the cap on the number of units in a building that can have PBA attached 
so that it could attach PBA to 30 units at Siegle 60. The project is 
located in census tract 5 that has a poverty rate of 40.5 percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be 
in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent. Section II 
subpart F requires that not more than 25 percent of the dwelling units 
in any building may be assisted under a housing assistance payments 
(HAP) contract for PBA except for dwelling units that are specifically 
made available for elderly families, disabled families and families 
receiving supportive services. Until regulations are promulgated 
regarding the category of families receiving supportive services, 
Headquarters has been authorizing implementation of this aspect of the 
law on a case-by-case basis.

percent cap was granted since the families occupying all of the PBA 
units in Seigle 60 will receive supportive services through the CHA's 
Family Self-Sufficiency program. The supportive services will include: 
daycare; GED preparation; continuing adult education; homeownership 
counseling; computer training; and money management training.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 983.151(c).
    Project/Activity: Oakland Housing Authority (OHA), Oakland, CA. The 
OHA requested a waiver of the regulation so that it could renew 
project-based certificate (PBC) housing assistance payments (HAP) 
contracts for Dignity Housing West/Harp Plaza and the Oaks Hotel beyond 
the expiration date of the Annual Contributions Contract since funding 
increments are only renewed for terms less than a year.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation requires that, with HUD field 
office approval, and at the sole option of the public housing agency 
(PHA), PHAs may renew expiring HAP contracts for such period or periods 
as the HUD field office determines appropriate to achieve long-term 
affordability of the assisted housing, provided that the term does not 
extend beyond the Annual Contributions Contract expiration date for the 
funding source. PHAs must identify the funding source for renewals; 
different funding sources may be used for the initial term and renewal 
terms of the HAP contract.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: September 7, 2005.
    Reason Waived: Approval to waive the regulation was granted in

developments up to the maximum 15 years allowed under the PBC HAP 
contracts without having to request HUD field office approval to do so 
every year or less.

    Project/Activity: Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community 
Development (MDHCD), Boston, MA. The MDHCD requested an exception to 
the deconcentration requirements and an exception to the number of 
units that can have PBA attached in a building so that it could attach 
PBA to more than 25 percent of the units at Casa Familias Unidas. The

percent.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be

    Reason Waived: An exception to the deconcentration requirements was 
granted since the project is located in the City of Boston's HUD-
designated Empowerment Zone. The purpose of establishing Empowerment 
Zones is to open new businesses, and create jobs, housing, and new 
educational and healthcare opportunities for thousands of Americans. 
These goals are consistent with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and 
expanding housing and economic opportunities. An exception to the 25 
percent cap was granted since Casa Esperanza will provide the following 
on-site services to all residents of the PBA units at the Casa Familias 
project: Job training workshops/career counseling, family case 
management and related services, and parenting skills workshops.

Burlington Coat Factory; Marriott Courtyard Hotel; and several 
restaurants and shops. An approved pending residential development

Richmond Hill Apartments and Taylor Street Apartments since only 
families receiving supportive services through the HACS' Family Self-
Sufficiency program will occupy the units.

the census tract. Since then, many of the existing warehouses have been 
converted into high-end housing. Some of the new developments include: 
North Star Lofts containing 37 units with current resale prices 
starting at $380,000; Stone Arch Lofts containing 46 condominium units 
with current resale prices starting at $500,000; and Humboldt Lofts

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(3).
    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of Rock Hill 
(HACRH), Rock Hill, SC. The HACRH requested a waiver of payment 
standard (PS) requirements to permit it to implement reduced PSs 
earlier than required to avoid termination of housing assistance 
payments (HAP) contracts during calendar year 2005 due to insufficient 
funding.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 982.505(c)(3) states that if the 
amount on the PS schedule is decreased during the term of the HAP 
contract, the lower PS amount generally must be used to calculate the 
monthly HAP for the family beginning at the effective date of the 
family's second regular reexamination following the effective date of 
the decrease.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: September 30, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The waiver was granted because this cost-saving 
measure would enable the HACRH to both manage its Housing Choice 
Voucher program within allocated budget authority and avoid the 
termination of HAP contracts due to insufficient funding.

    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC), 
Baltimore, MD. The HABC requested an exception to the deconcentration 
requirements to permit it to attach PBA to 41 scattered-site units of 
which 10 were approved. The units were located in census tracts 702.0, 
1801.0, 803 and 1602 with poverty rates of 34.9 percent, 51.8 percent, 
26.8 percent and 33.2 percent, respectively.
    Nature of Requirement: Section II subpart E of the initial guidance 
requires that in order to meet the Department's goal of deconcentration 
and expanding housing and economic opportunities, the projects must be 
in census tracts with poverty rates of less than 20 percent.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: September 30, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An exception to the deconcentration requirements was 
granted for ten units that are located in a HUD-designated Empowerment 
Zone. The purpose of establishing Empowerment Zones is to open new 
businesses and create jobs, housing, and new educational and healthcare 
opportunities for thousands of Americans. These goals are consistent 
with the goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and 
economic opportunities.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.40.
    Project/Activity: Hamtramck Housing Authority (MI004) Hamtramck, 
MI,
    Nature of Requirement: The objective of the Management Operations 
Indicator of the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) is to measure 
certain key management operations and responsibilities of a public 
housing agency (PHA) or the purpose of assessing the PHA's management 
operations capabilities. The PHA is required to submit its management 
operations certification within two months after the PHA's fiscal year 
end. The PHA requested a waiver of the submission due date.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: August 17, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The PHA's management operations certification was 
submitted timely, but was rejected because someone other than the 
Executive Director (ED), who was removed from office, submitted it. The 
PHA justified the reason for the removal of the ED, and the problems 
encountered during the transition. The PHA was granted a waiver of the 
submission due date to resubmit its management operations 
certification.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 902.30.
    Project/Activity: Housing Authority of the City of Orange (TX037), 
Orange, TX.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 902.30 establishes 
that the audited financial statements be submitted no later than nine 
months after the PHA's fiscal year end, in accordance with the Single 
Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. The PHA requested a 30-day extension 
of the due date to submit its audited financial data.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: August 17, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The PHA's auditor was able to complete two of the 
three submission steps on the evening of June 30, 2005, but when the 
PHA attempted to electronically file the audited submission, it 
encountered system problems, and could not access the system to 
electronically file the audited submission. The PHA documented through 
screen shots the access and system problems encountered. The PHA 
attempted to submit its audited financial submission on time and the 
documentation provided gave evidence that the circumstances surrounding 
the failure to complete the submission were unusual and beyond the 
PHA's control.

Orleans, LA.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 902.30 establishes 
that the audited financial statements be submitted no later than nine 
months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal year end, in 
accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. The PHA 
requested a waiver of the audited financial submission due date because 
of complex financial transactions and other mitigating circumstances 
including eight complex mixed finance transactions, and change in 
accounting methods.
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: August 30, 2005.
    Reason Waived: The circumstances surrounding the submission were 
unusual and beyond the PHA's control. The PHA staff was unfamiliar and 
inexperienced with mixed finance transactions and accounting 
procedures. The PHA was granted thirty days to complete and resubmit 
the audited financial information.

    Project/Activity: Dallas Housing Authority (TX009), Dallas, TX.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 902.30 establishes 
that the Audited financial statements be submitted no later than nine 
months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal year end, in 
accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133. Due to an 
unforeseen issue, the PHA had to reissue its 2003 annual financial 
audit before issuing its 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
    Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General Deputy Assistant Secretary for 
Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: September 28, 2005.
    Reason Waived: An unforeseen issue that was not identified at the 
time of the engagement contract, pertaining to the accelerated 
depreciation related to the demolition of an apartment project, caused 
the current auditors to require re-issuance of the PHA's 2003 annual 
financial audit from the prior audit firm. Due to this unforeseen 
issue, the PHA had to reissue its 2003 annual financial audit before 
issuing its 2004 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The PHA 
received an extension of the due date to October 28, 2005, to complete 
and submit the audited financial information.
