Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 17-16 PART II: PROPOSAL AND PROJECT SELECTION 17-II.A. OVERVIEW The PHA must include a description of the circumstances under which the PHA will use noncompetitive selection for PBV projects and competitive selection for PBV proposals, including the procedures for submission and selection of such proposals, in the administrative plan [24 CFR 983.10(b)(3)]. Before selecting a PBV proposal, the PHA must determine that the PBV proposal complies with HUD program regulations and requirements, including a determination that the property is eligible housing [24 CFR 983.52 and 983.53], complies with the cap on the number of PBV units per project [24 CFR 983.54], and meets the site selection standards [24 CFR 983.55]. The PHA may not commit PBVs until or unless it has followed the proposal selection requirements defined in 24 CFR 983.51. The PHA may allow for entities that have site control to submit proposals provided the entity will be the owner prior to entering into the AHAP or HAP contract. An owner may submit, and a PHA may select, a single proposal covering multiple projects where each project consists of a single-family building, provided all projects are the same housing type (existing, rehabilitated, or newly constructed) [24 CFR 983.51(a)]. A PHA may not commit project-based assistance to a project if the owner or any principal or interested party is debarred, suspended subject to a limited denial of participation, or otherwise excluded under 2 CFR Part 2424 or is listed on the U.S. General Services Administration list of parties excluded from federal procurement or non-procurement programs. HUD approval of specific projects or owners is not required. For example, owner proposal selection does not require submission of form HUD-2530 (Previous Participation Certification) or other HUD previous participation clearance. Selection of PHA-Owned Units [24 CFR 983.51(h)] A PHA-owned unit (as defined in 24 CFR 982.4) may be assisted under the PBV program only if the HUD field office or HUD-approved independent entity reviews the selection process and determines that the PHA-owned units were appropriately selected based on the selection procedures specified in the PHA’s administrative plan. With the exception of projects selected in accordance with 24 CFR 983.51(c) (projects that meet the criteria to be excepted from competitive selection), the PHA’s selection procedures must be designed in a manner that does not effectively eliminate the submission of proposals for non- PHA-owned units or give preferential treatment (e.g., additional points) to PHA-owned units.
