Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 17-56 <br />17-V.D. AMENDMENTS TO THE HAP CONTRACT TO ADD OR SUBSTITUTE UNITS <br />[24 CFR 983.207] <br />At the PHA’s discretion, the PHA and owner may execute an amendment to the HAP contract to <br />substitute a different unit with the same number of bedrooms in the same project for a previously <br />covered contract unit or to add additional contract units to the existing HAP contract without a <br />new proposal selection. <br />The proposed substituted or added units may be vacant or occupied (subject to the requirements <br />of 24 CFR 983.207(c) described below). Before any such substitution or addition can take place: <br /> The units must comply with housing quality standards; <br /> The rent to owner must be reasonable; and <br /> One of the following conditions must apply: <br />- The units existed at the time of HAP contract execution; or <br />- In the case of a project completed in stages, the units existed at the time of PHA <br />acceptance of the last completed units; or <br />- A unit, office space, or common area within the interior of a building containing contract <br />units existed at the time described above, as applicable, and is reconfigured without <br />impacting the building envelope, subject to 24 CFR 983.207(d), into one or more units to <br />be added or substituted. <br />The PHA must describe in the administrative plan the circumstances under which it will add or <br />substitute contract units, and how those circumstances support the goals of the PBV program. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will add units to the contract on a case-by-case basis to ensure the availability of <br />affordable housing as long as the addition of units does not exceed allowable <br />project caps. <br />Addition of Contract Units [24 CFR 983.207(b)] <br />Before adding any contract units, the units must comply with housing quality standards and the <br />rent to owner must be reasonable. The additional PBV units, however, are still subject to the <br />PBV program cap and project cap. However, added units that qualify for an exclusion from the <br />program cap (as described in 24 CFR 983.59) or an exception to or exclusion from the project <br />cap (as described in 24 FR 983.54(c) and 24 CFR 983.59, respectively) do not count toward <br />such caps. <br />EXHIBIT 1
