[Docket No. FR–5851–N–01] 

Rental Assistance Demonstration 

(RAD)—Alternative Requirements or 

Waivers: Waiving and Specifying 

Alternative Requirements for the 20 

Percent Portfolio Cap on ProjectBasing and Certain Tenant Protection 

and Participation Provisions for the 

San Francisco Housing Authority’s 

RAD Projects 

AGENCY: Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing, and Office of the Assistant 

Secretary for Housing—Federal Housing 

Commissioner, HUD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The RAD statute gives HUD 

authority to establish waivers and 

alternative requirements. Pursuant to 

this authority, HUD has waived, to date, 

the statutory 20 percent cap on projectbasing of a PHA’s tenant-based voucher 

funding for RAD-converted units. This 

notice advises that HUD is waiving for 

the San Francisco Housing Authority 

(SFHA), to a limited extent and subject 

to certain conditions, the 20 percent cap 

on project-basing and certain other 

provisions governing project-based 

assistance with respect to an identified 

portfolio that includes RAD funding. 

These waivers are in response to plans 

submitted by SFHA to address capital 

needs of the portfolio and preserve 

available affordable housing for the 

SFHA’s jurisdiction. Without this 

waiver, SFHA states that its plan for 

improving its affordable housing 

portfolio with RAD would not be 

workable, and the conversion of units 

under RAD would not be effective for its 

purpose. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 9, 2015.

Office of Recapitalization, Office of 

Housing, Department of Housing and

(this is a toll-free number). 

Background and Action 

The RAD statute (Pub. L. 112–55, 

approved November 18, 2011) gives 

HUD authority to waive or specify 

alternative requirements for, among 

other things, section 8(o)(13) of the 

United States Housing Act of 1937 (the 

1937 Act). In order to utilize this 

authority, the RAD statute requires HUD 

to publish by notice in the Federal 

Register any waiver or alternative 

requirement no later than 10 days before 

the effective date of such notice. This 

notice meets this publication 

requirement. 

On July 2, 2013, notice 2012–32 Rev1(as corrected by the technical 

correction issued February 6, 2014) 

(‘‘the revised notice’’) superseded PIH 

Notice 2012–32. The revised notice is 

found at the following URL: http://

portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/

program_offices/public_indian_

housing/publications/notices/2012. 

The revised notice at section 1.9, 

paragraph F, entitled ‘‘Portfolio 

Awards,’’ also sets forth a new option of 

a ‘‘portfolio award,’’ which allows PHAs 

to apply for RAD conversions affecting 

a group of projects. This type of award 

is meant to enable PHAs to create a 

comprehensive revitalization plan for 

multiple buildings they oversee. SFHA 

has submitted an application for a 

portfolio award under RAD. 

The revised notice contains a waiver 

of 8(o)(13)(B) and other sections of the 

1937 Act. Section 1.6, ‘‘Special 

Provisions Affecting Conversions to 

PBVs,’’ at paragraph A.1, allows a 

project that converts from one form of 

rental assistance to another under RAD 

to exceed the 20 percent project-basing 

cap. Section 1.6.A.2 allows sets 

alternate requirements for the percent 

limitation on the number of units in a 

project that may receive PBV assistance. 

Section 1.6.C. sets forth alternative 

requirements for resident rights and 

participation. (Collectively, the waivers 

and alternative requirements set forth in 

Sections 1.6.A.1, 1.6.A.2 and 1.6.C are 

referred to herein as the ‘‘Applicable 

Alternative Tenanting Requirements.’’) 

As part of its application for a 

portfolio award, SFHA’s comprehensive 

revitalization planning contemplates not 

only the conversion of assistance 

pursuant to RAD, but also to 

supplement such converted projects by 

project-basing additional voucher 

assistance. SFHA has submitted a 

waiver request that seeks permission to 

apply the Applicable Alternative 

Tenanting Requirements to all units in 

those projects with assistance converted 

under RAD. HUD has granted that 

request, subject to certain conditions 

which SFHA has agreed to carry out. 

Dated: February 13, 2015.
