Rule 14-9310 - POST SELECTION CONDITIONS

9310.1

After the determination has been made to award a HAP Contract for a property, the following conditions must also be met before the HAP Contract can be issued.

(a) Relocation. Current tenants of units to receive the Partnership Program subsidy must be eligible for a Housing Choice Voucher. In addition, permanent displacement is prohibited.

(1) If the units to be assisted are occupied by tenants that are over the allowable income, and the application will require a reduction in the total number of units because there are no other vacant units in the building, or if families to be assisted are living in units that are not suitable to family size, the application will be rejected or partially assisted, at DCHA's discretion.

(2) Temporary relocation to accommodate rehabilitation or repairs may not exceed twelve (12) months. Tenants will receive reimbursement from the Owner for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the temporary relocation, including moving costs to and from the temporary housing and increases in monthly housing costs.

(b) All properties will undergo a property inspection by DCHA or its contractor. The inspection will identify rehabilitation work that is necessary for the units to meet Housing Quality Standards and identify building systems, in danger of failure, which must be repaired or replaced.

(c) If the HAP Contract is used as a pledge to secure financing, DCHA must review the commitment documents to ensure that the financing does not modify the AHAP Contract or the HAP Contract and is not inconsistent with those contracts.
