Owners should be familiar with their HAP Contracts and the RAD Notice for specific terms related to their projects. This guidance applies only to conversions of public housing, Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation (Mod Rehab), Rent Supplement, Rental Assistance Payment (RAP), and Section 202 PRAC assistance to PBRA.

All HUD HAP contracts have a Contract Administrator. This could be HUD or a Performance-Based Contract Administrator (PBCA).References to Contract Administrator (CA) on this site includes both HUD and the PBCA unless otherwise indicated. You will be advised in writing in advance should the CA for your HAP contract change.
