Notice of Regulatory Waiver Requests Granted for the Fourth 
Quarter of Calendar Year 2022

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 October 1, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For general information about this 
notice, contact Aaron Santa Anna, Associate General Counsel for 
Legislation and 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).
    HUD welcomes and is prepared to receive calls from individuals who 
are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as individuals with speech or 
communication disabilities. To learn more about how to make an 
accessible telephone call, please visit https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/telecommunications-relay-service-trs.
    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 fourth quarter of calendar year 2022.

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). In accordance with those procedures and with the 
requirements of section 106 of the HUD Reform Act, waivers of 
regulations are granted by the Assistant Secretary with jurisdiction 
over the regulations for which a waiver was requested. In those cases 
in which a General Deputy Assistant Secretary granted the waiver, the 
General Deputy Assistant Secretary was serving in the absence of the 
Assistant Secretary in accordance with the office's Order of 
Succession.
    This notice covers waivers of regulations granted by HUD from 
October 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. For ease of reference, the 
waivers granted by HUD are listed by HUD program office (for example, 
the Office of Community Planning 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.
    Additionally, this notice includes waivers made pursuant to the 
Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), not 
previously published in the Federal Register. These waivers are listed 
separately from other individual waivers within each program office 
grouping, as CARES Act waivers broadly covered all affected parties 
rather than individual, case-by-case situations. The lists include 
additional Memoranda and Notices issued regarding broad CARES Act 
waivers provided by HUD since the enactment of the Act on March 27, 
2020. In addition, the lists provide a short, two- or three-line 
description of each memo or notice, identifying the specific CARES Act 
authority and purpose of the waivers addressed therein.
    Should HUD receive additional information about waivers granted 
during the period covered by this report (the fourth quarter of 
calendar year 2022) before the next report is published (the first 
quarter of calendar year 2023), HUD will include any additional waivers 
granted for the fourth quarter in the next report.
    Accordingly, information about approved waiver requests pertaining 
to HUD regulations is provided in the Appendix that follows this 
notice.

Damon Y. Smith,
General Counsel.

the contact person that immediately follows the description of the 
waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 58.22(a) Limitation on Activities 
Pending Clearance.
    Project/Activity: Homekey Project--Salinas, California--Section 
8 Project-based Vouchers.
    Nature of Requirement: Pursuant to 24 CFR 58.22(a) ``until the 
RROF and the related certification have been approved, neither a 
recipient nor any participant in the development process may commit 
non-HUD funds on or undertake an activity . . . if the activity or 
project would have an adverse environmental impact or limit the 
choice of reasonable alternatives.''
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: December 19, 2022.
    Reason Waived: HUD may approve a Request for a Waiver of Part 58 
when a regulatory violation has occurred, if there is good cause to 
grant the waiver and no unmitigated adverse environmental impacts 
will result. HUD has reviewed the Environmental Assessment submitted 
by the City of Salinas and the City asserts the regulatory violation 
was unintentional, has committed to receiving training and technical 
assistance, and the purpose of the project to provide housing and 
supportive services to the homeless furthers HUD program goals.

and Energy, Community Planning and Development, Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, 
Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 655-1412.
     Alternative Requirement: Alternative requirement 
modifying section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development 
Act of 1974 published at section III.G.3 of the CDBG-DR Consolidated 
Notice published in the Federal Register on February 3, 2022 at 87 
FR 6364 (the ``February 2022 Notice'') and May 24, 2022 at 87 FR 
31636 (the ``May 2022 Notice'').
    Project/Activity: Assistance to private for-profit, non-profit, 
or publicly owned utilities as part of disaster-related activities 
that are eligible under section 105(a) of the Housing and Community 
Development Act of 1974 and assisted with Community Development 
Block Grant disaster recovery (CDBG-DR) grants made in response to 
2020 and 2021 disasters that are subject to the February 2022 Notice 
and the May 2022 Notice.
    Nature of Requirement: In October 2021, HUD allocated 
$2,051,217,000 in CDBG-DR funds made available by Public Law 117-43 
(the ``Appropriations Act'') to assist disaster-related needs from 
disasters occurring in 2020. On February 3, 2022, HUD published a 
Federal Register notice governing the use of those funds (87 FR 
6364). In March 2022, HUD allocated an additional $722,688,000 in 
CDBG-DR funds from the Appropriations Act for disasters occurring in 
2020 and $2,213,595,000 in CDBG-DR funds from the Appropriations Act 
for disasters occurring in 2021. On May 24, 2022, HUD published a 
Federal Register notice governing the use of those funds.
    Both Federal Register notices included HUD's CDBG-DR 
``Consolidated Notice'' as Appendix B and made the Consolidated 
Notice applicable to the grants announced in those notices. 
Paragraph III.G.3. of the Consolidated Notice imposes the following 
alternative requirement: ``Prohibiting assistance to private 
utilities. HUD is adopting the following alternative requirement to 
section 105(a) and prohibiting the use of CDBG-DR funds to assist a 
privately-owned utility for any purpose.''
    Granted By: Adrianne Todman, Deputy Secretary Housing and Urban 
Development.
    Date Granted: December 12, 2022.
    Reason Modified: The Continuing Appropriation Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 
117-180), approved on September 30, 2022, appropriated an additional 
$2,000,000,000 for 2021 and 2022 disasters. The funds under Public 
Law 117-180 are available ``for the same purposes and under the same 
terms and conditions'' as funds appropriated under Public Law 117-43 
with a few exceptions. One of the exceptions is that amounts made 
under Public Law 117-180 and 117-43 ``may be used by a grantee to 
assist utilities as part of a disaster-related eligible activity 
under section 105(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 
1974 (42 U.S.C. 5305(a)).''
    To comply with this new provision governing assistance to 
utilities, HUD made Section III.G.3 of the CDBG-DR Consolidated 
Notice inapplicable for disasters occurring in 2020 and 2021, and 
instead imposed a replacement alternative requirement that was added 
as paragraph IV.A.4. within the February 2022 Notice and the May 
2022 Notice. While it is possible that not every CDBG-DR assisted 
utility will serve predominantly low-and moderate-income (LMI) 
populations, HUD recognizes that LMI populations would benefit 
especially from the increased resilience and recovery of private 
utilities. HUD also recognizes that privately-owned, for-profit 
utilities have a means of obtaining private investment or otherwise 
recapturing costs from ratepayers. Therefore, HUD's replacement 
alternative requirement includes basic safeguards that HUD has 
determined are necessary to ensure that costs comply with the 
certification CDBG-DR grantee must make to give maximum feasible 
priority to activities that benefit LMI persons and that costs are 
necessary and reasonable and do not duplicate other financial 
assistance.
    Specifically, the funded activity must comply with all 
requirements that apply to the use of grant funds. Additionally, 
grantees carrying out activities that assist private, for-profit 
utilities must priorities assistance to for-profit utilities that 
will benefit areas where at least 51 percent of the residents are 
low- and moderate-income persons and demonstrate how the assistance 
will benefit those areas. Additionally, the grantee must document 
that the level of assistance provided to a private, for-profit 
utility addresses only the actual identified needs of the utility, 
and establish policies and procedures that establish a mix of 
financing terms (loan, forgivable loan, and/or grant) for each 
assisted private, for-profit utility, based on the business's 
financial capacity. The modified alternative requirement also makes 
clear that assistance to utilities is subject to all other 
requirements that apply to the use of funds, consistent with the 
requirement in Public Law 117-180 that funds must be for an 
``eligible activity under section 105(a).''
    Applicability: The replacement alternative requirement added by 
the December 12, 2022 alternative requirement as a new paragraph 
IV.A.4. within the February 2022 Notice and the May 2022 Notice is 
applicable to all CDBG-DR funds appropriated for major disasters 
occurring in 2020 and 2021 under Public Law 117-43.

Recovery, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department 
of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, 
Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 708-3587.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR 91.115 
(c)(2), and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401.
    Project/Activity: The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and any HUD 
Community Planning and Development (CPD) grantee located in the 
county equivalents (municipios) included in the declared-disaster 
area (see DR-4671-PR) seeking to expedite action in response to 
Hurricane Fiona, upon notification to the Community Planning and 
Development Director in its respective HUD Field Office. This 
authority is in effect for grantees in the areas covered by the 
major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), DR-
4671-PR, dated September 21, 2022, as may be amended (the 
``Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas'') and is limited to 
facilitating preparation of substantial amendments to FY 2022 and 
prior year plans.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) 
and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401 require a 
30-day public comment period in the development of a consolidated 
plan and prior to the implementation of a substantial amendment.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
    Reason Waived: Several CPD grantees were affected by Hurricane 
Fiona that hit Puerto Rico on September 17, 2022. As a result of 
substantial property loss and destruction, many individuals and 
families residing in the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas 
were displaced from their homes, including beneficiaries of various 
CPD programs, and families eligible to receive CPD program 
assistance. The waiver granted will allow grantees to expedite 
recovery efforts for low- and moderate-income residents affected by 
the property loss and destruction resulting from this event.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) and (k); 24 CFR 
91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401.
    Project/Activity: The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and any HUD 
Community

Planning and Development (CPD) grantee located in the county 
equivalents (municipios) included in the Hurricane Fiona declared-
disaster areas (see DR-4671-PR) seeking to expedite action in 
response to Hurricane Fiona, upon notification to the Community 
Planning and Development Director in its respective HUD Field 
Office. This authority is in effect for grantees within the 
Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster areas and is limited to 
facilitating preparation of substantial amendments to FY 2022 and 
prior year plans.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) 
and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401 require the 
grantee to follow its citizen participation plan to provide citizens 
with reasonable notice and opportunity to comment. The citizen 
participation plan must state how reasonable notice and opportunity 
to comment will be given.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
    Reason Waived: As stated above, several CPD grantees were 
affected by Hurricane Fiona that hit Puerto Rico on September 17, 
2022. As a result of substantial property loss and destruction, many 
individuals and families residing in the Hurricane Fiona declared-
disaster areas were displaced from their homes, including 
beneficiaries of various CPD programs, and families eligible to 
receive CPD program assistance. The waiver granted will allow 
grantees to determine what constitutes reasonable notice and 
opportunity to comment given their circumstances and provide that 
level of notice and opportunity to comment when amending prior year 
plans in response to the disaster.
    Contact: Robert C. Peterson, Director, State and Small Cities 
Division, Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing 
and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7282, Washington, 
DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-4211.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4).
    Project/Activity: All CDBG grantees located within and outside 
declared disaster areas assisting persons and families who have 
registered with FEMA in connection with Hurricane Fiona.
    Nature of Requirement: The CDBG regulations at 24 CFR 
570.207(b)(4) prohibit income payments, but permit emergency grant 
payments for three months. ``Income payments'' means a series of 
subsistence-type grant payments made to an individual or family for 
items such as food, clothing, housing (rent or mortgage), or 
utilities. Emergency grant payments made over a period of up to 
three consecutive months to the providers of such items and services 
on behalf of an individual or family are eligible public services.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: September 27, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
    Reason Waived: HUD waives the provisions of 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4) 
to permit emergency grant payments for items such as food, clothing, 
housing (rent or mortgage), or utilities for up to six consecutive 
months. While this waiver allows emergency grant payments to be made 
for up to six consecutive months, the payments must still be made to 
service providers as opposed to the affected individuals or 
families. Many individuals and families have been forced to abandon 
their homes due to the damage associated with Hurricane Fiona. The 
waiver will allow CDBG grantees, including grantees providing 
assistance to evacuees outside the Hurricane Fiona declared-disaster 
areas, to pay for the basic daily needs of individuals and families 
affected by the hurricane on an interim basis. This authority is in 
effect through the end of the grantee's 2023 program year. This 
waiver aligns with waivers currently in effect for CDBG coronavirus 
(CDBG-CV) grants. The six-month periods allowed by waiver for CDBG 
and CDBG-CV shall not be used consecutively for the same 
beneficiary.

(c)(2), and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401.
    Project/Activity: The State of Florida and any HUD Community 
Planning and Development (CPD) grantee located in the counties 
included in the declared-disaster area (see DR-4673-FL) seeking to 
expedite action in response to Hurricane Ian, upon notification to 
the Community Planning and Development Director in its respective 
HUD Field Office. This authority is in effect for grantees in the 
areas covered by the major disaster declaration under title IV of 
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act 
(Stafford Act), DR-4673-FL, dated September 29, 2022, as may be 
amended (the ``Hurricane Ian declared-disaster areas'') and is

2022 and prior year plans.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulations at 24 CFR 91.105(c)(2) 
and (k); 24 CFR 91.115(c)(2) and (i); and 24 CFR 91.401 require a 
30-day public comment period in the development of a consolidated 
plan and prior to the implementation of a substantial amendment.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: October 3, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
    Reason Waived: Several CPD grantees were affected by Hurricane 
Ian that hit Florida on September 23, 2022. As a result of 
substantial property loss and destruction, many individuals and 
families residing in the Hurricane Ian declared-disaster areas were 
displaced from their homes, including beneficiaries of various CPD

Emergency grant payments made over a period of up to three 
consecutive months to the providers of such items and services on 
behalf of an individual or family are eligible public services.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: October 3, 2022 and amended December 8, 2022.
    Reason Waived: HUD waives the provisions of 24 CFR 570.207(b)(4)

     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2)(iii), Space and 
Security.
    Project/Activity: State of Indiana; City of Houston, TX; State 
of Rhode Island; City of Cleveland, OH.
    Nature of Requirement: This section of the HOPWA regulations 
provides that each resident must be afforded adequate space and 
security for themselves and their belongings.
    Granted By: Jemine A. Bryon, Acting General Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: October 1, 2022-December 31, 2022.
    Reason Waived: In 2020, CPD began issuing waivers of regulatory 
authority available on a nationwide basis with a simplified opt-in 
process to help recipients prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-
19. Between March 31, 2020, and December 30, 2021, CPD published 
several memoranda announcing nationwide availability of regulatory 
waivers. Under Notice CPD-22-09, issued on June 15, 2022, HOPWA 
grantees were provided the opportunity to apply for certain 
regulatory waivers to provide continued flexibility during the 
COVID-19 pandemic and pandemic recovery.

waive 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2)(iii), so that grantees and project 
sponsors operating housing facilities and shared housing 
arrangements can place more than two people in a room or reconfigure 
rooms, common areas and other appropriate spaces for temporary 
quarantine services of eligible individuals and families affected by 
COVID-19. Notice CPD-22-09 required grantees to justify in the 
waiver request why the grantee or project sponsor cannot provide 
adequate space and security in accordance with the standard provided 
at 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2)(iii). The waiver request must also specify 
the period during which the grantee needs to use this waiver and 
that effective period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

    Project/Activity: State of Indiana; City of Seattle, WA; City of 
San Juan, PR; City of Oklahoma City, OK; City of Houston, TX; State 
of Rhode Island; City of Indianapolis, IN; City of Cleveland, OH.
    Nature of Requirement: This section of the HOPWA regulations 
limits the total amount of time an eligible individual or family can 
reside in a short-term supported housing facility to no more than 60 
days during any six-month period. It also limits the Short-Term

homelessness of the tenant or mortgagor of a dwelling to no more 
than 21 weeks in any 52-week period.
    Reason Waived: In 2020, CPD began issuing waivers of regulatory 
authority available on a nationwide basis with a simplified opt-in 
process to help recipients prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-
19. Between March 31, 2020, and December 30, 2021, CPD published 
several memoranda announcing nationwide availability of regulatory 
waivers. Under Notice CPD-22-09, issued on June 15, 2022, HOPWA 
grantees were provided the opportunity to apply for certain 
regulatory waivers to provide continued flexibility during the 
COVID-19 pandemic and pandemic recovery.
    Notice CPD-22-09 provided expedited processing of grantee 
requests to waive the 21-week and 60-day limitations in 24 CFR 
574.330(a)(1). In utilizing the waiver, the grantee or project 
sponsor must document, on an individual household basis, that a good 
faith effort has been made to assist the household to achieve 
housing stability within the time limits specified in the 
regulations, but that financial needs or health and safety concerns 
have prevented the household from doing so. The grantee or project 
sponsor must also have written policies and procedures outlining 
efforts to regularly re-assess the needs of assisted households, as 
well as processes for granting extensions based on documented 
financial needs or health and safety concerns. The waiver request 
must specify the alternative limits to be used in place of the 21-
week and 60-day limit as applicable, and those limits must not 
exceed 52 weeks and 120 days, respectively and specify the period 
during which the grantee needs to use this waiver and that effective 
period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

of HIV status at the time of the determination of eligibility. In 
utilizing the waiver, grantees and project sponsors may accept 
written certification of HIV status and income to document 
eligibility of an individual or family seeking assistance if the 
grantee or project sponsor agrees to obtain source documentation of 
HIV status and income eligibility within 90 days of obtaining the 
written certification. Grantees and project sponsors must provide 
justification as to why source documentation cannot be acquired at 
the time of the eligibility determination. The waiver request must 
specify the period during which the grantee needs to use this waiver 
and that effective period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023.

Mega-Waiver for Hurricane Ian--Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs 
AIDS (HOPWA) Program

    On October 3, 2022, HUD issued a memorandum offering waivers of 
certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with 
several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to 
address damage and facilitate recovery from Hurricane Ian in areas 
covered by a major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert 
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford 
Act), DR-4673-FL, dated September 29, 2022, as may be amended (the 
``declared-disaster areas''). The October 3, 2022, memorandum was 
updated on December 8, 2022, to clarify the documentation 
requirements to support the use of some waivers to assist impacted 
individuals and provide greater clarity on the use of some waivers 
outside of the declared disaster area. The following summarizes the 
waivers available for HOPWA grantees.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2), Housing Quality 
Standards.
    Project/Activity: The property standard requirements in 24 CFR 
574.310(b)(2) are waived for units in the declared-disaster areas 
that are or will be occupied by HOPWA eligible households, provided 
that the units are free of life-threatening conditions as defined in 
Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA). Grantees must ensure that these units meet 
HOPWA housing quality standards within 60 days of October 3, 2022.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA 
regulations provides minimum housing quality standards that apply to 
all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition, 
rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of 
single room occupancy dwellings and community residences; project or 
tenant-based rental assistance; or operating costs under 24 CFR 
574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
    Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable grantees and 
project sponsors to expeditiously meet the critical housing needs of 
the many eligible families in the declared disaster areas.
    Contact: Amy Palilonis, Office of HIV/AIDS Housing, Office of 
Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7248, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (202) 402-5916, [email protected].
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), Rent Standard.
    Project/Activity: The rent standard requirement is waived for 
any rent amount that takes effect during the two-year period 
beginning on October 3, 2022, for any individual or family who is 
renting or executes a lease for a unit in the declared disaster 
areas. This waiver would apply for twelve months from the date of 
the execution of the lease under the waived rent standard 
requirement. Grantees and project sponsors must still ensure the 
reasonableness of rent charged for units in the declared-disaster 
areas in accordance with 574.320(a)(3).
    Nature of Requirement: Grantees must establish rent standards 
for their rental assistance programs based on FMR (Fair Market Rent) 
or the HUD-approved community-wide exception rent for unit size.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
    Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable HOPWA grantees 
to expedite efforts to meet the critical housing needs of low-income 
people living with HIV and their families in the declared-disaster 
areas. Under the programmatic requirements at 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), 
the rent standard shall be no more than the published section 8 fair 
market rent (FMR) or the HUD-approved community-wide exception for 
the unit size. In addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the grantee may 
increase that amount by up to 10 percent for up to 20 percent of the 
units assisted. Notice CPD-22-10 Clarification of Rent Standard 
Requirement for the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS 
(HOPWA) Program provides additional clarity and flexibility on how 
HOPWA grantees can administer the rent standard in accordance with 
24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) and the Regulatory and Administrative 
Requirement Waivers and Flexibilities Available to HUD Public 
Housing and Section 8 During CY 2022 and CY 2023 to Public Housing 
Agencies To Assist With Recovery and Relief Efforts on Behalf of 
Families Affected by Presidentially Declared Disasters, 87 FR 469 
(Section 8 Disaster Notice) provides additional rent standard 
flexibility in presidentially declared disaster areas.
    Due to the extensive damage to housing units in the declared 
disaster area and the need to ensure safe and decent units are 
immediately available to eligible households to prevent homelessness 
and protect the health of the people with HIV served under the 
program, HUD has determined that it is not practicable for grantees 
to be held to the rent standards in 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) even with 
the additional flexibilities under Notice CPD-22-10 and the Section 
8 Disaster Notice. Waiving the rent standard requirement, while 
still requiring that the unit be rent reasonable in accordance with 
Sec.  574.320(a)(3), will make more units immediately available to 
HOPWA eligible individuals and families in need of permanent housing 
in the declared-disaster areas and will help to quickly stabilize 
their housing and health.

Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7248, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (202) 402-5916, [email protected].
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.530, Recordkeeping.
    Project/Activity: The recordkeeping requirement at 24 CFR 
574.530 is waived to the extent necessary to allow HOPWA grantees, 
located within and outside of the declared disaster areas, to assist 
displaced persons and families, provided that the grantees (1) 
require written certification of HIV status and income of such 
individuals and families seeking assistance and (2) obtain source 
documentation of HIV status and income eligibility within six months 
of October 3, 2022.
    Nature of Requirement: Each grantee must maintain records to 
document compliance with HOPWA requirements, which includes 
determining the eligibility of a family to receive HOPWA assistance.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: October 3, 2022.
    Reason Waived: This waiver will permit HOPWA grantees and 
project sponsors, located within and outside of the declared-
disaster areas, to rely upon a family member's self-certification of 
income and HIV status in lieu of source documentation to determine 
eligibility for HOPWA assistance for individuals and families 
displaced by the disaster. Many individuals and families displaced 
by the disaster whose homes have been destroyed or damaged will not 
have immediate access to documentation of income or medical records 
and, without this waiver, will be unable to document their 
eligibility for HOPWA assistance.

declared-disaster areas that are or will be occupied by HOPWA-
eligible households, provided that the units are free of life-

Grantees must ensure that these units meet HOPWA housing quality 
standards within 60 days of the date of December 8, 2022.

Mega-Waiver for California Severe Winter Storms, Flooding, Landslides, 
and Mudslides--Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs AIDS (HOPWA) 
Program

    On February 9, 2023, HUD issued a memorandum offering waivers of 
certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with 
several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to 
address damage and facilitate recovery from California severe winter 
storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides in areas covered by a 
major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), DR-
4683-CA, dated January 14, 2023, as may be amended (the ``declared-
disaster areas'').
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2), Habitability 
Standards.
    Project/Activity: The habitability requirements in 24 CFR 
574.310(b)(2) are waived for units in the declared-disaster areas 
that are or will be occupied by HOPWA-eligible households, provided 
that the units are free of life-threatening conditions as defined in 
Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA). Grantees must ensure that these units meet 
HOPWA habitability standards within 60 days of the date of February 
9, 2023.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA 
regulations provides minimum habitability standards that apply to 
all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition, 
rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of

     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1), Maximum Subsidy.
    Project/Activity: Provided that the maximum subsidy is otherwise 
calculated as provided by 574.320(a)(1), the requirement to use the 
rent standard as provided by 574.320(a)(1) is waived. This waiver 
applies to the calculation of rental assistance for any rent amount 
that takes effect during the two-year period beginning on February

    Reason Waived: Permitting the maximum rental assistance subsidy

programmatic requirements at 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), the rent standard 
shall be no more than the published section 8 fair market rent (FMR) 
or the HUD-approved community-wide exception for the unit size. In 
addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the grantee may increase that 
amount by up to 10 percent for up to 20 percent of the units

calculation of the maximum monthly rental assistance amount under

reasonable in accordance with 574.320(a)(3), will make more units 
immediately available to HOPWA eligible individuals and families in

Mega-Waiver for Alabama Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, and 
Tornadoes--Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs AIDS (HOPWA) Program

    On February 9, 2023, HUD issued a memorandum offering waivers of 
certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with 
several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to 
address damage and facilitate recovery from California severe winter 
storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides in areas covered by a 
major disaster declaration under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford 
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), DR-
4684-AL, dated January 15, 2023, as may be amended (the ``declared-
disaster areas'').
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.310(b)(2), Habitability 
Standards.
    Project/Activity: The habitability requirements in 24 CFR 
574.310(b)(2) are waived for units in the declared-disaster areas 
that are or will be occupied by HOPWA-eligible households, provided 
that the units are free of life-threatening conditions as defined in 
Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA). Grantees must ensure that these units meet 
HOPWA habitability standards within 60 days of the date of February 
9, 2023.
    Nature of Requirement: Section 574.310(b)(2) of the HOPWA 
regulations provides minimum habitability standards that apply to 
all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition, 
rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of 
single room occupancy dwellings and community residences; project or 
tenant-based rental assistance; or operating costs under 24 CFR 
574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: February 9, 2023.
    Reason Waived: This waiver is required to enable grantees and 
project sponsors to expeditiously meet the critical housing needs of 
the many eligible families in the declared disaster areas.
    Contact: Lisa Steinhauer, Office of HIV/AIDS Housing, Office of 
Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban 
Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7248, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (215) 861-7651, [email protected].
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1), Maximum Subsidy.
    Project/Activity: Provided that the maximum subsidy is otherwise 
calculated as provided by 574.320(a)(1), the requirement to use the 
rent standard as provided by 574.320(a)(1) is waived. This waiver 
applies to the calculation of rental assistance for any rent amount 
that takes effect during the two-year period beginning on February 
9, 2023, for any individual or family who is renting or executes a 
lease for a unit in the declared-disaster areas. This waiver would 
apply for twelve months from the date of the execution of the lease. 
Grantees and project sponsors must still ensure the reasonableness 
of rent charged for units in the declared-disaster areas in 
accordance with 574.320(a)(3).
    Nature of Requirement: The amount of grant funds used to pay 
monthly assistance for an eligible person may not exceed the 
difference between: (i) The lower of the rent standard or reasonable 
rent for the unit; and (ii) The resident's rent payment calculated 
under 574.310(d).
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: February 9, 2023.
    Reason Waived: Permitting the maximum rental assistance subsidy 
to be calculated under 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1) without regard to the 
rent standard would enable HOPWA grantees to expedite efforts to 
meet the critical housing needs of low-income people living with HIV 
and their families in the declared-disaster areas. Under the 
programmatic requirements at 24 CFR 574.320(a)(2), the rent standard 
shall be no more than the published section 8 fair market rent (FMR) 
or the HUD-approved community-wide exception for the unit size. In 
addition, on a unit-by-unit basis, the grantee may increase that 
amount by up to 10 percent for up to 20 percent of the units 
assisted. Notice CPD-22-10 Clarification of Rent Standard 
Requirement for the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS 
(HOPWA) Program provides additional clarity and flexibility on how 
HOPWA grantees can administer the rent standard in accordance with 
24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) and the Regulatory and Administrative 
Requirement Waivers and Flexibilities Available to HUD Public 
Housing and Section 8 During CY 2022 and CY 2023 to Public 16 
Housing Agencies To Assist With

[[Page 43915]]

Recovery and Relief Efforts on Behalf of Families Affected by 
Presidentially Declared Disasters, 87 FR 469 (Section 8 Disaster 
Notice) provides additional rent standard flexibility in 
presidentially declared disaster areas. Due to the extensive damage 
to housing units in the declared disaster area and the need to 
ensure safe and decent units are immediately available to eligible 
households to prevent homelessness and protect the health of the 
people with HIV served under the program, HUD has determined that it 
is not practicable for grantees to be held to the rent standards in 
24 CFR 574.320(a)(2) even with the additional flexibilities under 
Notice CPD-22-10 and the Section 8 Disaster Notice. Waiving the 
requirement to use the rent standard in the calculation of the 
maximum monthly rental assistance amount under 574.320(a)(1), while 
still requiring that the unit be rent reasonable in accordance with 
574.320(a)(3), will make more units immediately available to HOPWA 
eligible individuals and families in need of permanent housing in 
the declared-disaster areas and will help to quickly stabilize their 
housing and health.

Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7248, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone (215) 861-7651, [email protected].
     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.530, Recordkeeping.
    Project/Activity: The recordkeeping requirement at 24 CFR 
574.530 is waived to the extent necessary to allow HOPWA grantees, 
located within and outside of the declared disaster areas, to assist 
displaced persons and families, provided that the grantees (1) 
require written certification of HIV status and income of such 
individuals and families seeking assistance and (2) obtain source 
documentation of HIV status and income eligibility within six months 
of February 9, 2023.
    Nature of Requirement: Each grantee must maintain records to 
document compliance with HOPWA requirements, which includes 
determining the eligibility of a family to receive HOPWA assistance.
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: February 9, 2023.
    Reason Waived: This waiver will permit HOPWA grantees and 
project sponsors, located within and outside of the declared-
disaster areas, to rely upon a family member's self-certification of 
income and HIV status in lieu of source documentation to determine 
eligibility for HOPWA assistance for individuals and families 
displaced by the disaster. Many individuals and families displaced 
by the disaster whose homes have been destroyed or damaged will not 
have immediate access to documentation of income or medical records 
and, without this waiver, will be unable to document their 
eligibility for HOPWA assistance.

Mega-Waiver for Mississippi Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, and 
Tornadoes--Housing Opportunities for Persons Withs AIDS (HOPWA) Program

    On March 30, 2023, HUD issued a memorandum offering waivers of 
certain statutory and regulatory requirements associated with 
several Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs to

that are or will be occupied by HOPWA-eligible households, provided 
that the units are free of life-threatening conditions as defined in 
Notice PIH 2017-20 (HA). Grantees must ensure that these units meet 
HOPWA habitability standards within 60 days of the date of March 30,

regulations provides minimum habitability standards that apply to 
all housing for which HOPWA funds are used for acquisition, 
rehabilitation, conversion, lease, or repair; new construction of 
single room occupancy dwellings and community residences; project or 
tenant-based rental assistance; or operating costs under 24 CFR 
574.300(b)(3), (4), (5), or (8).
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 30, 2023.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 574.320(a)(1), Maximum Subsidy.
    Project/Activity: Provided that the maximum subsidy is otherwise 
calculated as provided by Sec.  574.320(a)(1), the requirement to 
use the rent standard as provided by Sec.  574.320(a)(1) is waived. 
This waiver applies to the calculation of rental assistance for any 
rent amount that takes effect during the two-year period beginning 
on March 30, 2023, for any individual or family who is renting or 
executes a lease for a unit in the declared-disaster areas. This 
waiver would apply for twelve months from the date of the execution 
of the lease. Grantees and project sponsors must still ensure the 
reasonableness of rent charged for units in the declared-disaster 
areas in accordance with Sec.  574.320(a)(3).
    Nature of Requirement: The amount of grant funds used to pay 
monthly assistance for an eligible person may not exceed the 
difference between: (i) The lower of the rent standard or reasonable 
rent for the unit; and (ii) The resident's rent payment calculated 
under Sec.  574.310(d).
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
    Date Granted: March 30, 2023.
    Reason Waived: Permitting the maximum rental assistance subsidy

reasonable in accordance with Sec.  574.320(a)(3), will make more

    Project/Activity: The recordkeeping requirement at 24 CFR 
574.530 is waived to the extent necessary to allow HOPWA grantees, 
located within and outside of the declared disaster areas, to assist 
displaced persons and families, provided that the grantees (1)

    A. Potential negative impacts of the pandemic on providing 
assistance to program participants, including the delay of 
identifying housing or the onset of housing instability.

CoC--Fair Market Rent for Individual Units and Leasing Costs

     Regulation: 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2).
    Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2) prohibits a recipient 
from using grant funds for leasing to pay above FMR when leasing 
individual units, even if the rent is reasonable when compared to 
other similar, unassisted units.

[[Page 43917]]

    The following table provides a summary of the waivers HUD 
provided with respect to this requirement in accordance with the 
expedited waiver process described in Notice CPD-22-09, which is 
available at www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/2022-09cpdn.pdf.
    Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited 
processing of recipient requests to waive the regulatory requirement 
at 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2) and use grant funds to pay for rent above FMR 
when leasing individual units under leases executed before the 
expiration of this Notice, so long as the rent paid for individual 
units meets the rent reasonableness standard at 24 CFR 578.49(b)(2).
    This waiver is only made available with respect to leases of 
individual units between the effective date of the HUD-approved 
waiver and March 31, 2023, although the recipient may request that 
the waiver remain applicable to a lease of an individual unit in 
which a program participant is assisted during that time period may 
continue to benefit from this waiver through until the earlier of 
the end of the lease or the end of the period of performance/

    B. Local pandemic-specific delays or limitations (e.g., social 
distancing requirements, delays in obtaining necessary paperwork due 
to office closures or staffing shortages, low vaccination rates or 
high hospitalization rates of people experiencing homelessness, 
lower wages or higher unemployment rates).

II. Expedited COVID-19 Waivers (Notice CPD-22-09)--ESG

ESG--Assisting Program Participants With Subleases

     Regulation: 24 CFR 576.105; 24 CFR 576.106.
    Nature of Requirement: The use of ``owner'' and ``lease'' in 24 
CFR 576.105 and 576.106 restrict program participants from receiving 
rental assistance under 24 CFR 576.106 and certain services under 24 
CFR 576.105 with respect to units that program participants sublease 
or lease from a person other than the owner or the owner's agent.
    The following table provides a summary of the waivers HUD 
provided with respect to this requirement in accordance with the 
expedited waiver process described in Notice CPD-22-09, which is 
available at www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/2022-09cpdn.pdf.
    Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited 
processing of recipient requests to waive the regulatory 
requirements in 24 CFR 576.105 and 576.106 to the extent that the 
references to ``owner'' and ``lease'' in 24 CFR 576.105 and 576.106 
restrict program participants from receiving assistance in units 
they sublease from the primary leaseholder, provided that the 
recipient is able to assure HUD that: (i) The waiver will be used 
only when the program participant chooses to rent a unit through a 
legally valid sublease with the primary leaseholder for the unit; 
and (ii) The recipient has developed written policies to apply the 
requirements of 24 CFR 576.105, 24 CFR 576.106, 24 CFR 576.409, and 
24 CFR 576.500(h) with respect to that program participant by 
reading the references to ``owner'' and ``housing owner'' to apply 
to the primary leaseholder and reading the references to ``lease'' 
to apply to the program participant's sublease or lease with primary 
leaseholder. In addition, to be considered for expedited processing, 
the waiver request must specify the period during which the 
recipient needs to house program participants using this 
flexibility, and that period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023, 
although the recipient may request that the waiver remain applicable 
to any sublease approved during that period until the earlier of the 
end of the program participant's otherwise allowable term of 
assistance or the end of the period of performance/approved budget 
period(s) for the recipient's grant(s) covered by the waiver.

    Code Key for Reasons Waived:
    A. Potential negative impacts of the pandemic on providing 
assistance to program participants, including the delay of 
identifying housing due to increased rental rates, low vacancy rates 
or the onset of housing instability.
    B. Local pandemic-specific delays or limitations (e.g., social 
distancing requirements, delays in obtaining necessary paperwork due 
to office closures or staffing shortages, low vaccination rates or 
high hospitalization rates of people experiencing homelessness, 
lower wages or higher unemployment rates).
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

ESG--Restriction of Rental Assistance to Units With Rent at or 
Below FMR

     Regulation: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1).
    Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1) provides that rental 
assistance cannot be provided unless the total rent is equal to or 
less than the FMR established by HUD, as provided under 24 CFR part 
888, and complies with HUD's standard of rent reasonableness, as 
established under 24 CFR 982.507.
    The following table provides a summary of the waivers HUD 
provided with respect to this requirement in accordance with the 
expedited waiver process described in Notice CPD-22-09, which is 
available at www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/OCHCO/documents/2022-09cpdn.pdf.
    Project/Activity: Notice CPD-22-09 authorized expedited 
processing of recipient requests to waive the FMR-based limitation 
in 24 CFR 576.106(d)(1), so that a recipient can provide rental 
assistance to program participants in units that are above FMR, so 
long as the rent is reasonable when compared to other similar 
unassisted units. However, to be considered for expedited 
processing, the waiver request must specify the period during which 
the recipient needs to house program participants using this 
flexibility, and that period must not extend beyond March 31, 2023, 
although the recipient may request that the waiver remain applicable 
to any unit in which a program participant is assisted during that 
time period may continue to benefit from this waiver through until 
the earlier of the end of the program participant's otherwise 
allowable term of assistance or the end of the period of 
performance/approved budget period(s) for the recipient's grant(s) 
covered by the waiver.

    Code Key for Reasons Waived:
    A. Potential negative impacts of the pandemic on providing 
assistance to program participants, including the delay of 
identifying housing due to increased rental rates, low vacancy 
rates, challenges securing lower rates due to landlord trepidation 
or the onset of housing instability.
    B. Local pandemic-specific delays or limitations (e.g., social 
distancing requirements, delays in obtaining necessary paperwork due 
to office closures or staffing shortages, low vaccination rates or 
high hospitalization rates of people experiencing homelessness, 
lower wages or higher unemployment rates).
    Granted By: Marion McFadden, Principal Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Community Planning and Development.

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Housing--Federal 
Housing Administration (FHA)

    For further information about the following regulatory waivers, 
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows 
the description of the waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 203.604 Contact with the Mortgagor.
    Project/Activity: Temporary, Partial Waiver of Servicing 
Mortgagee's Responsibility to Contact Mortgagor in Person.
    Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR 203.604 Contact with the 
Mortgagor, under Mortgagee Actions under Subpart C--Servicing 
Responsibilities of 24 CFR part 203 Single Family Insurance, 
requires mortgagees to have a face-to-face interview with the 
mortgagor, or make a reasonable effort to arrange such a meeting, 
before three full monthly installments due on the mortgage are 
unpaid. If default occurs in a repayment plan arranged other than 
during a personal interview, the mortgagee must have a face-to-face 
meeting the mortgagor, or make a reasonable attempt to arrange such 
a meeting within 30 days after such default and at least 30 days 
before foreclosure is commenced, or at least 30 days before 
assignment is requested if the mortgage is insured on Hawaiian home 
land pursuant to section 247 or Indian land pursuant to section 248 
or if assignment is requested under Sec.  203.350(d) for mortgages 
authorized by section 203(q) of the National Housing Act.
    Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant Secretary for Housing--
FHA Commissioner.
    Date Granted: December 19, 2022.
    Reason Waived: HUD's servicing requirement for FHA-insured 
forward mortgages requires that a mortgagee conduct a face-to-face 
interview with the borrower, which is not practical given the public 
health recommendations being disseminated by local, state, and 
federal government agencies to limit contact between individuals, in 
order to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus and its variants. 
HUD recognizes that, beyond government recommendations, there is 
public concern about possible transmission of COVID-19 from in-
person contact, and that mortgagees and borrowers may be hesitant to 
meet in-person. FHA-approved mortgagees have been able to 
successfully establish contact with borrowers through alternate 
methods, gather and convey required information, and determine the 
borrower's circumstances and appropriate repayment plans, as 
required by 24 CFR 203.604, without a face-to-face interview. The 
waiver was granted to protect the public health while ensuring 
delinquent borrowers were provided the opportunity to learn about 
options available to bring their mortgages current.

Family Asset Management, Office of Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, 
Room 9172, Washington, DC 20410, telephone (202) 402-2826, 
[email protected].
     Regulation: 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995) ``Payment and 
Repayment of Operating Assistance'' of the Federal Housing 
Administration's (FHA) regulations''.
    Project/Activity: Redeemers Arms aka Dale Street Place FHA No. 
092-SH017T.
    Nature of Requirement: That provision sets forth the 
requirements that govern the repayment of operating assistance under 
the Flexible Subsidy Program for Troubled Projects and 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.''
    Granted by: Julia R. Gordon, Assistant Secretary for Housing-
Federal Housing Commissioner.
    Date Granted: December 15, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The regulation at 24 CFR 219.220(b)(1995) was 
waived to permit the deferment of the outstanding balance of the 
Flexible Subsidy Loans, plus accrued interest, for Redeemers Arms 
aka Dale Street Place, and permit the Owner to repay the loans 
through a repayment plan. The waiver allowed the owner to refinance 
the property in order to complete much needed rehabilitation.

III. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the Office of Public and Indian 
Housing

    For further information about the following regulatory waivers, 
please see the name of the contact person that immediately follows 
the description of the waiver granted.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161 (a).
    Project/Activity: Morgan Metropolitan Housing Authority's 
request to waive HCV regulation stating any present or former 
member/officer of PHA may not have any direct or indirect interest 
in the HAP contract.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161 (a) 
allows HUD to evaluate good cause on a case-by-case basis based 
primarily (though not exclusively) on the needs of assisted families 
directly affected by removal of the units in question from the 
affordable housing inventory in a rural area without expansive 
amounts of other rental housing available.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: October 5, 2022.
    Reason Waived: In May of 2022, the former Executive Director of 
MMHA, Ms. Haley Hook, discovered that she would be violating Section 
13 of HUD Form 5264 by allowing her husband to participate as a 
landlord in MMHA's housing programs; she subsequently resigned. Upon 
resignation, her spouse (Mr. John Patterson) would like to continue 
participating in the Housing Choice Voucher Program as a landlord 
without waiting the one-year period outlined in Section 13 of the 
HAP contract and Sec.  982.161(a). Mr. Patterson currently serves 
five clients through MMHA's Housing Choice Voucher program. MMHA has 
stated that Mr. Patterson's participation is essential to this PHA 
because Morgan County substantially lacks available, affordable 
housing and the participation of landlords. MMHA is a small rural 
housing authority located in southeastern Ohio. MMHA has also 
represented that terminating the HAP contracts would result in an 
undue burden on the five HCV participants living in an area where it 
would be difficult to locate and obtain other HCV eligible units.

     Regulation: SEMAP 24 CFR 985.101 (a).
    Project/Activity: Irvington HA requests a waiver of 24 CFR 
985.101 submission of the SEMAP certification form within 60 days 
after the FYE: 3/31/2022.
    Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public 
housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60 
calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal 
year ended on March 31, 2022; the SEMAP certification was due on or 
before May 30, 2022.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: October 10, 2022.
    Reason Waived: On April 5, 2022, the Irvington Housing Authority 
went into receivership. The Interim Executive Director resigned 
around the end of May 2022, which disrupted the agency's operations 
including the submission of the SEMAP certification in a timely 
manner. IHA has a new staff member ready to submit upon approval and 
plans to train an additional person to serve as backup to prevent 
further interruptions.
    Contact: Michelle Daniels, Housing Program Specialist, Office of 
Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 
20410, telephone 202-402-6051.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 983.
    Project/Activity: Pursuant to 24 CFR 5.110, the Pender County 
Housing Authority (PCHA), NC173, requests a waiver of the federal 
regulations within 24 CFR 983 that outline requirements for 
selection of a project-based voucher proposal, selection procedures 
for PHA-owned units, as well as restrictions on the term of a 
resulting HAP Contract.
    Nature of Requirement: Based on the request, the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has identified the following 
regulations necessitating a waiver: 24 CFR 983.51, which provides 
for owner proposal selection procedures; and 24 CFR 983.59(a), which 
provides for selection procedures for public housing authority (PHA) 
owned units in accordance with 24 CFR 983.51(e).
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: November 1, 2022.
    Reason Waived: In December 2009, the PBC assistance was renewed 
and converted under a ten-year PBV HAP contract, covering the term 
of 2009-2019, however, this contract expired under a former 
Executive Director, and the expired HAP contract was identified 
during a recent Calculation of HAP, Adjusted Income and Rent (CHAIR) 
Review, conducted by Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Quality 
Assurance Division (QAD). The PHCA would like to provide PBV 
assistance to the units, notwithstanding the contract's expiration. 
This requires a waiver of the regulatory requirements specified in 
the first paragraph of this letter regarding project selection. It 
further requires the PHCA to determined that all other PBV statutory 
and regulatory requirements are met regarding the PBV program. The 
apartments meet the definition of PHA-owned and in 2011, a 
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was executed between PCHA and the 
Wilmington Housing Authority (WHA) for WHA to conduct HQS 
inspections for the units. Additionally, PCHA has been informed that 
additional efforts will be necessary to bring the program into 
compliance for PHA-owned units, and PCHA must execute agreements for 
all PBV functions to be performed by an Independent Entity. Further, 
PCHA has been advised that its administrative plan must be updated 
to ensure all appropriate policies and provisions for administration 
of the PBV program.

of Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 
20410, telephone 202-402-5156.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(c) and 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
    Project/Activity: Opelousas Housing Authority (LA055).
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain 
reporting compliance dates.
    The audited financial statements are required to be submitted to 
the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) no later than nine months 
after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal year end (FYE) June 30, 
2020 and 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB 
Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: November 9, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The HA is requesting an extension due to the 
unforeseen circumstances surrounding the termination status of the 
agency's Auditor, William McCaskill, A Professional Accounting 
Corporation (APAC) who is no longer on the Louisiana Legislative 
Approved CPA firms list, and therefore is no longer qualified to 
conduct the audit. The Agency is requesting an extension until 
September 30, 2022, due to the arduous process to procure another 
auditor in time to complete the agency's audit process for FYE June 
30, 2020 and 2021. In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to 
extend the submission due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is 
approved, as the reason provided is considered good cause for a 
waiver.
    Contact: Lara Philbert, Assessment Manager, Office of Public and 
Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410, 
telephone 202-475-8930.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(c) and 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
    Project/Activity: Highland Park Housing Commission (MI105).
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain 
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are 
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal 
year end FYE September 30, 2020, and 2021, in accordance with the 
Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: November 9, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The HA contends that the prior board members 
failed to procure audit services on time, and the HA could not 
secure another audit contract until December 8, 2021. Further the HA 
states that there was great difficulty securing responses to a 
Request for Proposal for audit services. In accordance with 24 CFR 
5.110, the request to extend the submission due date and waive 24 
CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason provided is considered 
good cause for a waiver.
    Contact: Lara Philbert, Assessment Manager, Office of Public and 
Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 20410,

     Regulation: SEMAP 24 CFR 985 (60 day submission rule).
    Project/Activity: Regional Housing Authority (RHA-CA048) 
requests waiver of the Section Eight Management Assessment Program 
(SEMAP) regulation, 24 CFR 985.101(a)
    Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public 
housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60 
calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal 
year ended on March 31, 2022; the SEMAP certification was due on or 
before May 30, 2022.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: November 10, 2022.
    Reason Waived: On May 31, 2022, the RHA attempted to submit its 
SEMAP certification but was denied access due to late submission. 
You stated that your agency was going through its financial audit 
the week prior to the submission deadline. As a result, the staff 
was unavailable to submit the SEMAP certification due to their time 
being occupied by the auditors. In addition, you mentioned that the 
office was closed for Memorial Day on May 30, 2022, and that the 
COVID-19 pandemic caused staff shortage (which also contributed to 
the late submission).

     Regulation: HCV Regulations at 24 CFR 982.
    Project/Activity: Allegheny County Housing Authority (ACHA).
    Nature of Requirement: The ACHA seeks exception 24 CFR 
982.503(C)(3) which would allow the HA to adopt payment standards 
about 120 percent of the Small Area Fair Market Rent. ACHA asserts 
this approval is necessary to prevent financial hardship for 
families as current payment standards in high priority neighborhoods 
are not adequate, and families that move under the HUD demonstration 
would otherwise experience significant rent burdens.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: November 30, 2022.
    Reason Waived: ACHA has provided good cause for waiving 24 CFR 
982.503(b)(1)(iv). In order to achieve the goals of the Community 
Choice Demonstration, and to provide access to low-poverty 
neighborhoods for families in their voucher program, ACHA needs to 
establish exception payment standards over 110 percent of the SAFMR, 
where justified by statistically representative housing survey data.

     Regulation: CFR 982.517(b)(1) and 24 CFR 
983.301(f)(2)(ii).
    Project/Activity: The Housing Commission of Talbot (HCT).
    Nature of Requirement: The Housing Commission of Talbot (HCT), 
has submitted a request to waive 24 CFR 982.517(b)(1) and 24 CFR 
983.301(f)(2)(ii), which require that the utility schedule be 
determined based on the typical cost of utilities and services paid 
by energy conservative households that occupy housing of a similar 
size and type in the same locality, and prohibits PHAs from 
establishing or applying different utility allowance amounts for the 
PBV program as the same utility allowance schedule applies to both 
tenant-based vouchers and project-based vouchers. For HUD to 
consider such a waiver, the public housing agency (PHA) should 
submit: (a) an analysis of utility rates for the community; (b) an 
estimate of energy consumption that will take place at the newly 
constructed site; and (c) a proposed alternative methodology for 
calculating utility allowances on an ongoing basis.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: November 30, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The information submitted to HUD by HCT supports 
its request. The HCT has submitted an analysis of utility rates for 
the community andan estimate of the energy consumption that will 
take place at the newly constructed site. Due to the energy 
efficient systems being built at the Doverbrook Apartments, the 
community consumption estimates are significantly higher than the 
consumption expected at the site. Therefore, since HCT has 
demonstrated that the utility allowance provided under the HCV 
program would discourage conservation and ultimately lead to 
inefficient use of HAP funds at the Doverbrook Apartments, I have 
determined that there is good cause to waive 24 CFR 
983.301(f)(2)(ii) and 24 CFR 982.517.

    Project/Activity: Municipal Housing Agency of Council Bluff's 
requests approval for SEMAP late submitter waiver pursuant to the 60 
day submission rule codified in 24 CFR 985.
    Nature of Requirement: This regulation states that a public 
housing agency (PHA) must submit the Department of Housing and Urban 
Development (HUD) required SEMAP certification form within 60 
calendar days after the end of its fiscal year. The PHA's fiscal 
year ended on December 31, 2021; the SEMAP certification was due on 
or before March 1, 2022.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 5, 2022.
    Reason Waived: On February 25, 2022, the MHACB submitted its 
SEMAP on time but failed to complete the online certification due to 
difficulty entering the data into the PIC system. The agency's 
request states that they experienced challenges due to their SEMAP 
contact being new to the process and that they made efforts to reach 
out to HUD to address the issue.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161(a).
    Project/Activity: any employee of the public housing authority 
(PHA) who formulates policy or who influences decisions with respect 
to the programs, may not have any direct or indirect interest in the 
housing assistance program (HAP) contract or in any benefits or 
payments under the contract during tenure or one year thereafter.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161(c), and 
the HAP contract, allows the conflict of interest to be waived by 
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for good 
cause.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 14, 2022.
    Reason Waived: Upon resignation, Mr. Hankerson would like to 
continue participating in the HCV program as a landlord without 
waiting the one-year period outlined in Section 13 of the HAP 
contract and Sec.  982.161(a). OHA has stated that Mr. Hankerson's 
participation is essential because the city of Oakland's housing 
supply is extremely limited and terminating the HAP contracts would 
result in the unfair displacement of the two HCV participants living 
in an area where it would be difficult to locate and obtain other 
HCV eligible units.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.161(a).

[[Page 43927]]

    Project/Activity: Carbondale Housing Authority's (CHA) request 
for waiver of Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) regulations at 24 CFR 
982.161(a), which states, in part, that any public official, member 
of a governing body, or State or local legislator who exercises 
functions or responsibilities with respect to the programs, may not 
have any direct or indirect interest in the housing assistance 
program (HAP) contract or in any benefits or payments under the 
contract during tenure or one year thereafter.
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation at 24 CFR 982.161(c), and 
the HAP contract, allows the conflict of interest to be waived by 
the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for good 
cause.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 14, 2022.
    Reason Waived: Per the request, Mr. Justin Taylor, Mayor of 
Carbondale, owns the unit where Mr. Jerry Thomas currently resides 
(and was living) when he was issued a Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) 
in February of 2022. CHA became aware of the conflict in March of 
2022 (after the HAP was executed) and when Mayor Taylor informed 
their HCV coordinator of the situation. At the time the voucher was 
issued, the HCV coordinator was unaware of a potential conflict, as 
the rental property was listed in Mayor Taylor's business name. As 
Mayor, Mr. Taylor recommends candidates to serve on the board of the 
CHA, the city council approves the appointments, and the mayor does 
not have any functions or duties related to the administration of 
the HCV program.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
    Project/Activity: Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority 
(OH004) (CMHA).
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain 
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are 
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal 
year end FYE June 30, 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit Act 
and OMB Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
    Reason Waived: CMHA exerts that its contracted auditor, Plante & 
Moran, PLLC, amended its contract due date to the auditor's staffing 
issues. The amended agreement due date is after the HUD submission 
due date and will cause CMHA to receive an LPF and zero points in 
the FASS scoring. This situation is beyond the control of the 
authority. In accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend 
the submission due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as 
the reason provided is considered good cause for a waiver. The 
circumstance preventing the Agency from submitting its audited 
financial information on time is acceptable. Therefore, CMHA is 
granted an additional sixty days from the extended due date of 
September 30, 2022. CMHA has until November 30, 2022, to complete 
and submit its FYE June 30, 2021, audited financial information to 
the Department.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
    Project/Activity: Salem Housing Authority (OR011) (SHA).
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain 
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are 
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal 
year end FYE September 30, 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit 
Act and OMB Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
    Reason Waived: SHA seeks to be waived from its FYE September 30, 
2021, audited financial reporting requirements, pursuant to 24 CFR 
5.801(d)(1). SHA contends their previous auditor terminated their 
working relationship, which forced SHA to submit a Request for 
Proposal (RFP) to seek a new firm to handle both the ongoing 2020 
and 2021 audits. COVID delayed this process and both the new 
auditing firm and SHA experienced difficulties completing the audits 
from scratch even with the extended deadlines. The new firm has only 
just begun engaging SHA in completing the 2021 audit. The 
circumstances preventing the Agency from submitting its audited 
financial information on time is acceptable. Accordingly, the Agency 
is granting a submission due date of September 30, 2022, to complete 
and submit its audited financial statements to the Department for 
FYE September 30, 2021.

     Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
    Project/Activity: Athens Metropolitan Housing Authority 
(AMHA041) (AMHA).
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain 
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are 
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal 
year end FYE December 31, 2021, in accordance with the Single Audit 
Act and OMB Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
    Reason Waived: AMHA seeks to be waived from its fiscal year end 
(FYE) December 31, 2021, audited financial reporting requirements 
according to 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). AMHA stated their office is within 
a high-risk COVID area due to extended sick leave, and recovery 
times have severely affected their operations. As a small PHA with 
twelve employees, having multiple employees with COVID 
simultaneously has caused a hardship for AMHA to maintain its daily 
operation and provide information for the IPA audit. In accordance 
with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend the submission due date and 
waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason provided is 
considered good cause for a waiver. The circumstance preventing the 
Agency from submitting its audited financial information on time is 
acceptable. Therefore, the AMHA is granted an additional sixty days 
from the extended due date of September 30, 2022. The AMHA has until 
November 30, 2022, to complete and submit its FYE December 31, 2021, 
audited financial information to the Department.

for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
    Reason Waived: For WCHA's fiscal year ending on September 30, 
2020, and its fiscal year ending on September 30, 2021, WCHA seeks 
to be waived from its FYE audited financial reporting requirements, 
pursuant to 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1). The WCHA's former executive director 
was unresponsive for several months and resigned her position after 
the Wilna Housing Authority (WHA), a neighboring housing authority, 
intervened to engage WCHA's board. WCHA is now under an interagency 
agreement with WHA. The circumstances preventing the Agency from 
submitting its audited financial statements on time is acceptable. 
Accordingly, the Agency is granting a submission due date of 
December 31, 2022, to complete and submit its audited financial 
statements to the Department for FYE September 30, 2020, and 
September 30, 2021.
    Contact: Laura Philbert, Housing Programs Specialist, Office of 
Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 
20410, telephone 202-475-8930.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1).
    Project/Activity: Mobile Housing Authority (AL002).
    Nature of Requirement: The regulation establishes certain 
reporting compliance dates. The audited financial statements are 
required to be submitted to the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC) 
no later than nine months after the housing authority's (HA) fiscal 
year end FYE December 31, 2021, in

[[Page 43928]]

accordance with the Single Audit Act and OMB Circular A-133.
    Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Public and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: December 22, 2022.
    Reason Waived: The Agency contends that it has incurred some 
challenges due to circumstances beyond its control, such as a lack 
of financial staff and management changes that resulted in 
incomplete accounting records that impacted the auditor's ability to 
reconcile and evaluate prior years' financials. The Agency contends 
their Finance Department experienced significant turnovers in 2018, 
2019, and 2020, including the Chief Executive, the retirement of the 
long-tenured Chief Financial Officer, the Deputy Controller, and two 
Senior Accountants. The Agency contends their financial contractor 
found several account balances inaccurate, and certain records and 
data to substantiate these balances are stored in various locations. 
The Agency claims they encountered issues during the procurement 
process to ensure procuring a qualified auditor that could 
adequately audit their financial data. The Agency contends the loss 
of various personnel challenges has impacted their ability to move 
forward with the audit as planned. The Agency requests a waiver to 
extend the due date for the Audited FDS Submission for FYE to 
December 31, 2021, with a reporting date of September 30, 2022. In 
accordance with 24 CFR 5.110, the request to extend the submission 
due date and waive 24 CFR 5.801(d)(1) is approved, as the reason 
provided is considered good cause for a waiver. Accordingly, the 
Agency has been granted an extended due date to February 20, 2023.
    Contact: Laura Philbert, Housing Programs Specialist, Office of 
Public and Indian Housing, 451 Seventh Street SW, Washington, DC 
20410, telephone 202-475-8930.
     Regulation: 24 CFR 982.505(c)(4) Increase in Payment 
Standard During Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) Contract Term.
    Project/Activity: Notice PIH 2022-30 Extension of Certain 
Regulatory Waivers for the Housing Choice Voucher (including 
Mainstream) Program and Streamlined Review Process.
    Nature of Requirement: PHAs may request an extension of the 
option to increase the payment standard for the family at any time 
after the effective date of the increase, rather than waiting for 
the next regular reexamination.
    Reason Waived: Extension for PHAs that were granted to the 
opportunity to apply for certain regulatory waivers that were 
originally offered as part of the CARES Act waivers in Notice PIH 
2021-14 to provide continued flexibility during the pandemic and 
pandemic recovery. HUD expeditiously responded to these waiver 
request in accordance with Section 106 of the Department of Housing 
and Urban Development Reform Act of 1989.
    Granted by: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant for Public 
and Indian Housing.
    Date Granted: October 1, 2022-December 31, 2022.
