This guide provides guidance for occupancy related policy to owners (including Public Housing Agencies) converting their projects to Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) authorized under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). The purpose of this guide is not to be all-inclusive or overly descriptive of HUD Multifamily Housing program requirements but rather to highlight certain requirements owners converting under RAD should be aware of. The guide is a starting point for owners converting under RAD to become familiar with HUD Multifamily Housing program requirements. This guide 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.
