Revised “HUD is identifying whether a voucher issuance is a turnover voucher or a voucher that has never been leased by counting the number of cumulative EHV lease-ups. Once BHA’s total cumulative leased EHV count reaches 67, any EHV issuance is considered a reissuance. Once the BHA has reached 67 cumulative EHV lease-ups, the BHA may not reissue any EHV voucher after September 30, 2023.”

Revised “If the BHA has not reached its 67 cumulative leased vouchers, the BHA may continue to issue vouchers to eligible households after September 30, 2023, until the cumulative leased vouchers equal 67, or until directed by HUD to stop issuing EHVs. If the BHA is reallocated additional EHVs, these EHVs are considered never leased and may be issued.”
• Household Moves and Changes – page 17-9
Added “EHV participants may still move (including under portability) after September 30, 2023. The termination of vouchers upon turnover provision does not impact an individual or family’s ability to move within the PHA’s jurisdiction or their ability to move under the portability procedures to another PHA’s jurisdiction.”
Chapter 18 – Project-Based Voucher Program – pages 18-1 to 18-16
Please see the addition of Chapter 18. In general, this chapter outlines policies and procedures of Project-based vouchers (PBVs) are a component of a public housing agency’s (PHA’s) Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. PHAs are not allocated additional funding for PBV units; the PHA uses its tenant-based voucher funding to allocate project-based units to a project. Projects are typically selected for PBVs through a competitive process managed by the PHA; although in certain cases projects may be selected non-competitively.
A PHA can use up to 20 percent of its authorized voucher units to project-base units in a specific project if the owner agrees to either rehabilitate or construct the units, or the owner agrees to set -aside a portion of the units in an existing development. In certain cases, the PHA may use an additional 10 percent of its authorized voucher units for PBV assistance.
