Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 114 / Monday, June 16, 2025 / Notices

have been updated to conform to
regulatory changes implemented via the
HOTMA Voucher Final Rule. Lastly,
although waivers and alternative
requirements authorized under the
Second Component are not subject to a
Federal Register publication
requirement, new Second Component
waivers and alternative requirements
are included in this notice as a matter
of convenience.
The new waivers and alternative
requirements are:
1. Resident Services.
a. Resident Opportunity and SelfSufficiency Service Coordinators
(ROSS–SC). Provision affected: In
accordance with the current RAD Notice
provisions, ROSS–SC grantees are able
to finish out their current ROSS–SC
grants once their projects are converted
under RAD. Waiver: HUD is waiving the
limitation under Section 34 of the 1937
Act and in the Self Sufficiency Programs
account in the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2024 (and
subsequent Appropriations Acts, as
applicable) that permits ROSS–SC to
serve only public housing units or
residents. Alternative requirement: HUD
is implementing an alternative
requirement permitting the PHA or the
new project owner to apply for their
ROSS–SC grant to be renewed, subject
to the requirements of the ROSS–SC
NOFO.
b. Jobs Plus. Provision affected: Jobs
Plus grantees are able to finish out their
current Jobs Plus period of performance
if enrolled prior to conversion, unless a
modification is approved. Waiver: HUD
is waiving the limitation in the Self
Sufficiency Programs account in the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024
(and subsequent Appropriations Acts, as
applicable) that restricts Jobs Plus grants
to serving only public housing
residents. Alternative requirement: HUD
is implementing an alternative
requirement permitting any Jobs Plus
program at a target project(s) to enroll
residents in Jobs Plus services and in
the Jobs Plus financial/rent incentive
after conversion.
2. HOTMA PBV Rule conforming
changes.
a. Converted public housing units
under HAP contract where
rehabilitation work is performed.
Provisions affected: The HUD required
scope of work in most RAD transactions
occurs after the HAP Contract is
executed and while subsidy is flowing
but does not fit with the newly revised
housing types for PBVs. Waiver: The
definitions of ‘‘existing housing,’’
‘‘rehabilitated housing,’’ and ‘‘newly
constructed housing’’ at 24 CFR
983.3(b), the definitions of

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

‘‘development activity’’ and ‘‘substantial
improvement’’ at 24 CFR 983.3(b) with
respect to the scope of work completed
under the RCC, and at 42 U.S.C.
1437f(o)(13)(A) and 24 CFR 983.5(a)(2)
describing the housing types for which
a PHA enters into a HAP Contract in the
PBV program, are waived. Alternative
requirements: The requirements of the
RAD Notice Revision 4, H–2019–09/H–
2019–23, as amended by the Notice
shall apply with regard to the HUD
required work completed under the
RAD Conversion Commitment in place
of the PBV requirements stemming from
the housing type classifications.
b. Converted moderate rehab units
under HAP contract where
rehabilitation work is performed after
the HAP Contract is executed.
Provisions affected: The HUD required
scope of work in most RAD transactions
includes work that falls under the PBV
regulatory definition of substantial
improvement at 24 CFR 983.212.
Waiver: Paragraph (ii) of the definition
of ‘‘existing housing’’ at 24 CFR
983.3(b), which requires a PHA
determination and owner certification
regarding substantial improvement in
order for a project to qualify as existing
housing, the provision of 24 CFR
983.212(a) prohibiting the owner from
requesting PHA approval before the
effective date of the HAP contract, and
24 CFR 983.212(a)(1)(ii), which requires
that PHAs do not approve substantial
improvement to commence until after
the first two years of the effective date
of the HAP Contract, are waived.
Alternative requirements: Mod Rehab
projects converting to PBV through RAD
shall be considered existing housing
under 24 CFR part 983 so long as they
meet the criteria of paragraph (i) of the
definition of ‘‘existing housing’’ at 24
CFR part 983.3. Such projects shall
follow all other requirements governing
substantial improvements under 24 CFR
part 983.212 that are not waived herein.
IV. Program Notice Availability
The RAD Supplemental Notice 4C (H–
2025–01/PIH–2025–03 (HA)) can be

environment has been completed in

A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
OpFund Shortfall Program Financial
Reporting and Monitoring.
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0300.

Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Shortfall Program has been in operation
since FY 2021 and was created through
annual Appropriations laws providing a
$25 million set-aside in the Public
Housing Fund to assist Public Housing
Agencies experiencing or at risk of
financial shortfalls. The program is
targeted to PHAs with the lowest Public
Housing reserves. Funding is allocated

to raise PHAs’ reserves to two months
of expenses. Along with the infusion of
funds, PHAs create Improvement Plans
to improve their financial situation and
address financial issues. OMB requested
that PIH collect information from PHAs
to evaluate the efficacy of the program
in improving PHA’s financial situation.
This PRA is being submitted to improve
the effectiveness of the program
(through monitoring and risk
management) which ultimately helps
the PHAs reach sustainable financial
success. This PRA will include a shortform budget for PHAs to report their
budget and actuals through the year so
that financial and operational
performance can be evaluated; an
Improvement Plan, which will increase
accountability towards making financial
improvements; and Shortfall Program
Application and Appeal forms. These
forms will be accessible to PHA and
HUD staff through a web-based portal to
increase operational efficiency.
