. Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Intro-v <br />HOTMA VOUCHER FINAL RULE CHANGES IN THE MODEL POLICY <br />The final rule implementing streamlining changes to the HCV and PBV programs was published <br />on May 7, 2024, and codified certain provisions in Sections 101, 105, 106, and 112 of HOTMA, <br />as well as incorporating changes from the NSPIRE final rule discussed above. The rule is known <br />as the “HOTMA voucher final rule.” The effective date of the HOTMA voucher final rule was <br />June 6, 2024. While the compliance date for certain provisions of the rule is the same as the <br />effective date, the compliance date for other provisions is not until 90 days, 180 days, or one year <br />after the effective date. Further, many new changes to the regulations described in the HOTMA <br />voucher final rule require changes to the PHA’s administrative plan. PHAs must make all <br />revisions needed to bring existing policies into compliance with the final rule no later than June <br />6, 2025 (one year after the effective date). However, if a PHA wishes to use program flex ibilities <br />requiring adoption of new local policies not already present in the PHA’s administrative plan, the <br />PHA must add those policies to the administrative plan prior to using those program flexibilities. <br />Further, the delayed compliance date for policies of June 6, 2025, does not authorize delayed <br />compliance with the provisions of the rule. PHAs that choose not to bring their policies into <br />compliance with the rule until June 6, 2025, must still implement each provision on its <br />compliance date. <br />In order to identify those provisions of the final rule that are not effective until after June 6, <br />2024, the policy states that certain policies are not effective until a specific date. <br />RESOURCES CITED IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN <br />The administrative plan cites several documents. Where a document or resource is cited <br />frequently, it may be abbreviated. Where it is cited only once or twice, the administrative plan <br />may contain the entire name of the document or resource. Following is a key to abbreviations <br />used for various sources that are frequently cited in the administrative plan and a list of <br />references and document locations that are referenced in the administrative plan or that may be <br />helpful to you. <br />EXHIBIT 1
