Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 . Page 8-20 The following is applicable to HAP contracts executed or renewed June 6, 2024, or later: Notification of Corrective Actions [24 CFR 982.404(d)(1)] The owner must maintain the unit in accordance with housing quality standards. The unit is in noncompliance with housing quality standards if:  The PHA or authorized inspector determines the unit has housing quality standards deficiencies based upon an inspection  The PHA notified the owner in writing of the unit housing quality standards deficiencies; and  The unit’s housing quality standards deficiencies are not corrected within the required timeframes. A PHA may withhold assistance payments for units that have deficiencies once the owner has been notified in writing of the deficiencies. The PHA’s administrative plan must identify the conditions under which the PHA will withhold HAP. In this case, if the unit is brought into compliance during the applicable cure period, the PHA must resume assistance payments and provide payments to cover the time period for which the payments were withheld. The PHA must abate the HAP, including amounts that had been withheld, if the owner fails to make the repairs within the applicable cure period. In this case, the PHA must notify the family and the owner that it is abating payments and, if the unit does not meet housing quality standards within 60 days (or a reasonable longer period established by the PHA), the PHA will terminate the HAP contract for the unit and the family will have to move to receive continued assistance. In this case, the PHA must issue the family its voucher to move at least 30 days prior to the termination of the HAP contract. EXHIBIT 1
