See the elements to be included in a first increment RHF Plan. A PHA may submit an RHF plan for approval at any time after it decides it wishes to accumulate its RHF grants.

See the elements to be included in a second increment RHF Plan. If a second increment plan is not submitted by the deadline and/or disapproved then the PHA is no longer eligible for second increment RHF for that particular tier.

HUD Publishes NOFA making $995 million in Recovery Act funding available to PHAs

	Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA)
	Recovery Act Competition Application Kit Map

The Department is pleased to announce that it has published a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) making $995 million of Capital Fund Recovery Act funding available to PHAs. The Department is excited about the benefits that will be realized by providing this funding. In addition to providing a powerful stimulus to the economy through job creation, this funding has the potential of transforming the public housing program in a number of ways. First it will direct a significant amount of funding to address the needs of the elderly and persons with disabilities. Second, it will provide a substantial amount of funding to transform distressed public housing. Third, it will provide gap financing. Finally, it will make a large investment in improving the energy efficiency and environmental performance of public housing. To view a .pdf version of the NOFA, click on the link above. The Department also issued an email to all PHAs announcing publication of the NOFA.

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - Announcement of formula funding awards
In compliance with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the Department hereby announces the award of $2.985 billion in ARRA Capital Fund amounts calculated in accordance with the 2008 Capital Fund formula. (The Department withheld $15 million of the $3 billion allocated for formula grant funding under ARRA to fund a .5% set-aside outlined in ARRA to pay for costs associated with implementing the Act.) The Office of Capital Improvements Recovery web page contains links identifying specific grant amounts and providing ACC Amendments. PHAs are to sign ACC Amendments for the awarded funds and forward them to their respective Field Offices no later than Monday, March 9, 2009.

This announcement does not include $1 billion in Capital Funds that the Department is to allocate through a competition. The Department will notify PHAs about the competition through a separate announcement.

Capital Fund Data Certification Schedule - Deadline extended one week from February 20, 2009 to February 27, 2009
Pursuant to PIH Notice 2008-46, the deadline for submitting Capital Fund data certifications in the Public Housing Information Center (PIC)/ Inventory Management System has been changed to Friday, February 27, 2009.

PHAS High Performer list for 2009 Capital Fund Calculation and HOPE VI Replacement Unit Counts
The Department is making preparations for calculating the Capital Fund formula for 2009. As a part of the calculation the Department is using PHAS designations for Federal Fiscal Year 2007 to determine which PHAs will receive the high performer bonus for the 2009 formula calculation. (Note: for PHAs with fiscal years ends of 12/31/06 the 2006 PHAS score is used; for PHAs with fiscal year ends of 3/31/07, 6/30/07 and 9/30/07 the 2007 PHAS score is used). PHAs can validate whether they are on the High Performer list that will be the basis for the formula calculation by reviewing the linked High Performer list for 2009 Capital Fund Calculation spreadsheet. (MS-Excel, 199 KB) The spreadsheet lists only PHAs that are designated as high performers (it lists the Housing Authority Code, the Housing Authority Name and the City/State of the housing authority).

In addition, for PHAs that have HOPE VI Revitalization grants the number of public housing units that a PHA is planning to replace as part of its HOPE VI grant affects the number of removed units that are eligible for Replacement Housing Factor funds. PHAs can validate whether the count is correct by reviewing the linked HOPE VI replacement unit counts spreadsheet. (MS-Excel)

If a PHA believes there is an error in either list, it must submit an e-mail explaining the error to PIHOCI@hud.gov no later than February 20th, 2009.
