Overview

The Housing Certificate Fund Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee was chartered by HUD in March 1999, as required by Section 556 of the Public Housing Reform Act (the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998). The Committee’s charter stated "The purpose of the Committee is to discuss and negotiate a rule that would change the current method of distributing funds to public housing agencies (PHAs) for purposes of renewing assistance contracts in the tenant-based Section 8 program.

The committee, which consisted of persons representing stakeholder interests in the outcome of the rule,” held six meetings, numerous working group sessions, and telephone conference calls between April 24, 1999 and September 29, 1999. Committee members sought consensus on a set of recommendations to HUD and on the text of a draft Regulation and draft Notice to implement the renewal funding system.
