Date Signed	State F.O.	Summary	Reg. Citation
4/20/09	VA	Request from the City of Danville, Virginia, to waive the HOME property standards for a HOME-assisted homebuyer acquisition and rehabilitation project denied. After expending $9,950 on rehabilitation, a dispute between the owner and the contractor resulted in removal of the contractor from the project. The owner refused to allow the City to complete the repairs. The City sought the waiver to avoid repaying HOME funds already expended on housing that will not meet HOME property standards.
5/11/09	LA	Waiver request granted for the State of Louisiana to terminate the original HOME affordability period for three rental projects that were badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina. HUD determined that the useful life of the property related to the original use of HOME funds had ended. The waiver will allow the City of New Orleans to invest new HOME funding to complete their repair and establish a new affordability period.	24 CFR 92.252(e)
