EXHIBIT 1 Use of Small Area FMRs (SAFMRs) [24 CFR 888.113(h) and 24 CFR 983.301(f)(3)] Unless one of the following exceptions apply, SAFMRs do not apply to PBV projects regardless of whether HUD designates the metropolitan area or the PHA notifies HUD and implements the SAFMRs under paragraph 883.113(c)(3). Where the proposal or project selection date was on or before the effective dates of either or both the SAFMR designation/implementation and the PHA administrative policy, the PHA and owner may mutually agree to apply the SAFMR. The application of the SAFMRs must be prospective and consistent with the PHA administrative plan. The owner and PHA may not subsequently choose to revert back to the use of the metropolitan -wide or county -wide FMRs for the PBV project. If the rent to owner will increase as a result of the mutual agreement to apply the SAFMRs to the PBV project, the rent increase must not be effective until the next annual anniversary of the HAP contract. Where the proposal or project selection date was after the effective dates of both the SAFMR designation/implementation and the PHA administrative policy, the SAFMR must apply to the PBV project if the PHA administrative plan provides that SAFMRs are used for all future PBV projects. If the PHA chooses to implement this administrative policy, the SAFMRs must apply to all future PBV projects located within the same metropolitan area or non - metropolitan county where the SAFMRs are in effect for the PHA's HCV program. An owner and the PHA may not subsequently choose to apply the metropolitan area or county FMR to the project, regardless of whether the PHA subsequently changes its administrative plan to revert to the use of metropolitan -wide or county -wide FMR for future PBV projects. For purposes of this section, the term effective date of the Small Area FMR designation means: • The date that HUD designated a metropolitan area as a SAFMR area; or • The date that HUD approved a PHA request to voluntarily opt to use Small Area FMRs for its HCV program, as applicable. For purposes of this section, the term effective date of the PHA administrative policy means the date the administrative policy was formally adopted as part of the PHA administrative plan by the PHA Board of Commissioners or other authorized PHA officials. SAHA Policy SAHA will not apply SAFMRs to SAHA's PBV program. 025 City Council 5 — 834 5 2 25
