Granted for the Second Quarter of 

Calendar Year 2005

SUMMARY: Section 106 of the Department 

of Housing and Urban Development 

Reform Act of 1989 (the HUD Reform 

Act) requires HUD to publish quarterly 

Federal Register notices of all 

regulatory waivers that HUD has 

approved. Each notice covers the 

quarterly period since the previous 

Federal Register notice. The purpose of 

this notice is to comply with the 

requirements of section 106 of the HUD 

Reform Act. This notice contains a list 

of regulatory waivers granted by HUD 

during the period beginning on April 1, 

2005, and ending on June 30, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

general information about this notice,

General Counsel for Regulations, Room 

10276, Department of Housing and 

Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street,

number through TTY by calling the tollfree Federal Information Relay Service 

at 800–877–8339. 

For information concerning a 

particular waiver that was granted and 

for which public notice is provided in 

this document, contact the person 

whose name and address follow the 

description of the waiver granted in the 

accompanying list of waivers that have 

been granted in the second quarter of 

calendar year 2005. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

106 of the HUD Reform Act added a 

new section 7(q) to the Department of 

Housing and Urban Development Act 

(42 U.S.C. 3535(q)), which provides 

that: 

1. Any waiver of a regulation must be 

in writing and must specify the grounds 

for approving the waiver; 

2. Authority to approve a waiver of a 

regulation may be delegated by the 

Secretary only to an individual of 

Assistant Secretary or equivalent rank, 

and the person to whom authority to 

waive is delegated must also have 

authority to issue the particular 

regulation to be waived; 

3. Not less than quarterly, the 

Secretary must notify the public of all 

waivers of regulations that HUD has 

approved, by publishing a notice in the 

Federal Register. These notices (each 

covering the period since the most 

recent previous notification) shall: 

a. Identify the project, activity, or 

undertaking involved; 

b. Describe the nature of the provision 

waived and the designation of the 

provision; 

c. Indicate the name and title of the 

person who granted the waiver request; 

d. Describe briefly the grounds for 

approval of the request; and 

e. State how additional information 

about a particular waiver may be 

obtained. 

Section 106 of the HUD Reform Act 

also contains requirements applicable to 

waivers of HUD handbook provisions 

that are not relevant to the purpose of 

this notice. 

This notice follows procedures 

provided in HUD’s Statement of Policy 

on Waiver of Regulations and Directives 

issued on April 22, 1991 (56 FR 16337) 

(1991 Policy Statement). This notice 

covers waivers of regulations granted by 

HUD from April 1, 2005, through June 

30, 2005. For ease of reference, the 

waivers granted by HUD are listed by 

HUD program office (for example, the 

Office of Community Panning and 

Development, the Office of Fair Housing 

and Equal Opportunity, the Office of 

Housing, and the Office of Public and 

Indian Housing, etc.). Within each 

program office grouping, the waivers are 

listed sequentially by the regulatory 

section of title 24 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) that is being waived. 

For example, a waiver of a provision in 

24 CFR part 58 would be listed before 

a waiver of a provision in 24 CFR part 

570. 

Where more than one regulatory 

provision is involved in the grant of a 

particular waiver request, the action is 

listed under the section number of the 

first regulatory requirement that appears 

in 24 CFR and that is being waived. For 

example, a waiver of both § 58.73 and 

§ 58.74 would appear sequentially in the 

listing under § 58.73. 

Waiver of regulations that involve the 

same initial regulatory citation are in 

time sequence beginning with the 

earliest-dated regulatory waiver. 

Should HUD receive additional 

information about regulatory waivers 

granted during the period covered by 

this report (the second quarter of 

calendar year 2005) before the next 

report is published (the third quarter of 

calendar year 2005), HUD will include 

any additional waivers granted for the 

second quarter in the next report. 

This report of regulatory waivers does 

not contain a summary of waivers that 

were granted to waive the electronic 

grant application submission 

requirement as provided in HUD’s 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2005 Super Notice of 

Funding Availability (FY2005 

SuperNOFA), published on March 21, 

2005 (70 FR 13576, see 70 FR 13584). 

These waivers have been determined 

not to be subject to the requirements of 

section 106 of the HUD Reform Act. The 

requirement to submit applications 

electronically, as provided under the 

FY2005 SuperNOFA is not viewed as a 

regulatory requirement. The 

SuperNOFA’s reference to HUD’s 

regulation in 24 CFR 5.110 (which 

govern regulatory waivers) was included 

only to clarify that the grounds for 

waiving the electronic submission 

requirement would be a good cause 

showing, similar to regulatory waivers. 

The process by which a waiver of the 

electronic application submission 

requirement could be obtained was set 

out in detail in the FY2005 SuperNOFA, 

making this process comparable to 

express authorities that allow the 

Department to relax otherwise 

applicable requirements and which 

authorities are exempt from the section 

106 requirements (see 1991 Policy 

Statement at 56 FR 16338). 

Additionally, one of the objectives of 

the section 106 requirements is to 

ensure that the public knows what 

regulations are being waived, who 

requested the waiver, and whether the 

waiver request was granted. The FY2005 

SuperNOFA already discloses that the 

electronic submission requirement is 

eligible for waiver. The information that 

is not disclosed at this time is 

identifying the applicant that is 

requesting the waiver of this 

requirement and whether the waiver 

was granted. That information is being 

withheld at this time to avoid a 

violation of section 103 of the HUD 

Reform Act and HUD’s implementing 

regulation at 25 CFR 4.26(c)(2)(i), which 

prohibits disclosure of the identify of 

any applicant before the deadline for the 

submission of application. That 

information, however, will become part 

of the applicant’s application file. In 

accordance with section 102(a)(4)(E) of 

the HUD Reform Act, and HUD’s 

implementing regulation at 24 CFR 4.5, 

those files will be available for public 

inspection commencing 30 days after 

the award of grants is made and will 

remain available for at least five years. 

Accordingly, information about 

approved waiver requests pertaining to 

HUD regulations is provided in the 

Appendix that follows this notice.

programs, this waiver will enable 

Indianapolis to use its FY2003 and 

FY2004 ADDI program funds to assist

II. Regulatory Waivers Granted by the 

Office of Housing—Federal Housing 

Administration (FHA) 

For further information about the 

following regulatory waivers, please see 

the name of the contact person that 

immediately follows the description of 

the waiver granted. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 266.200(d). 

Project/Activity: Mt. Carmel 

Apartments, Worcester, Massachusetts. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation requires mortgage insurance 

on risk-sharing transactions by housing 

finance agencies, rents must be 

underwritten at the lower of Section 8 

rents or market rents for those projects 

with section 8 subsidies. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 1, 2005. 

Reason Waived: Housing Notice 04–

21, issued November 12, 2004, allowed 

direct loans under section 202 of the 

National Housing Act with section 8 

subsidies to be refinanced using, for 

underwriting purposes, section 8 rents, 

even if market rents were lower. This 

change makes it possible to refinance 

many more of these apartments for the 

elderly, providing money for repairs and 

for supportive services. Regulations for 

risk-sharing require rents at the lower of 

market rate or section 8, as indicated in 

the nature of requirement. To put risksharing loans on the same basis as loans 

under the National Housing Act requires 

a change in regulations, which will be 

implemented. Pending the change, the 

waiver on Mt. Carmel was granted for 

the Massachusetts Housing Finance 

67542 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 214 / Monday, November 7, 2005 / Notices 

Agency to allow underwriting using 

section 8 rents.

Director, Office of Multifamily 

Development, Department of Housing 

and Urban Development, 451 Seventh 

Street SW., Washington, DC 20410–

7000, telephone (202) 708–1142. 

• Regulation: 24 CFR 290.30(a). 

Project/Activity: New York, New York 

(Renaissance Court—Project Number 

012–57231Z). The owner of Renaissance 

Court has requested prepayment 

approval of their HUD-held mortgage 

and assignment of the mortgage to the 

new mortgagee, Woori American Bank, 

for mortgage tax savings. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

290.3(a) states that ‘‘[e]xcept as 

otherwise provided in § § 290.30(a)(2), 

HUD will sell HUD-held multifamily 

mortgages on a competitive basis.’’

Section 290.31(a)(2) permits negotiated 

sales to state or local governments for 

mortgage loans that are current and 

secured by subsidized projects, 

provided such loans are sold with FHA 

insurance. 

Granted by: Frank L. Davis, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Housing—Deputy Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 25, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The owner of 

Renaissance Court has requested, and 

HUD approved, prepayment of its 

mortgage on this property. In lieu of 

paying off the mortgage directly, 

Renaissance Associates (the 

‘‘Borrower’’) requested that the HUD 

loan secured by the project be assigned 

to Woori American Bank for mortgage 

tax savings purposes. Woori American 

Bank agreed to this assignment and to 

pay the full amount of the HUD loan (as 

of March 11, 2005 the loan amount is 

$2,297,930.60). This waiver allows the 

non-competitive sale of the HUD-held 

mortgage securing the project without 

FHA insurance.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 401.461. 

Project/Activity: The following 

projects requested a waiver to the 

simple interest requirement on the 

second mortgage to allow compound 

interest at the applicable Federal Rate. 

(24 CFR 401.461): 

FHA No. Project State 

07135614 .......................... Kensington Square I .................................................................................................................................... CT 

10935073 .......................... Bicentennial Apartments .............................................................................................................................. WY 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

401.461 requires second mortgages to 

have an interest rate not more than the 

applicable federal rate. Section 

401.461(b)(1) states that interest will 

accrue but not compound. The intent of 

simple interest instead of compound 

interest is to limit the size of the second 

mortgage accruals to increase the 

likelihood of long-term financial and 

physical integrity. 

Granted by: Frank L. Davis, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for HousingDeputy Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 18, 2005. 

Reason Waived: This regulatory 

restriction would be construed as a form 

of federal subsidy, thereby creating a 

loss of tax credit equity. This loss will 

adversely affect the ability to close the 

restructuring plan and could cause the 

loss or deterioration of these affordable 

housing projects. Therefore, compound 

interest is necessary for the owner to 

obtain Low Income Housing Tax Credits 

under favorable terms and in order to 

maximize the savings to the federal 

government.

05294031 .......................... YORK PARK APTS ..................................................................................................................................... MD 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

401.600 requires projects be marked 

down to market rents within 12 months 

of their first expiration date after 

January 1, 1998. The intent of this 

provision is to ensure timely processing 

of requests for restructuring and that the 

properties will not default on their FHA 

insured mortgages during the 

restructuring process. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal 

Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 1, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The projects listed 

above were not assigned to the 

participating administrative entities

restructuring analysis was unavoidably 

delayed due to no fault of the owner.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 883.606(b). 

Project/Activity: Delaware State 

Housing Authority (Dover, Delaware)—

Issuance of Refunding Bonds under 

section 1012 of McKinney-Vento Act 

(McKinney Act). HUD did not enforce a 

regulatory prohibition of collection of 

both contract administration fees and 

bond yield override and neglected to 

issue formal waivers at the time of 

approval of the transaction in 1991. 

Nature of Requirement: This section 

of the regulation prohibits the collection

Project/Activity: Stebbins, Alaska 

(Cupluaq House—Project Number 176–

EE012). The Seattle Multifamily Hub 

requested an age waiver for the subject 

project due to occupancy problems. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations 24 CFR 891 requires 

occupancy to be limited to very lowincome (VLI) elderly persons (i.e., 

households composed of one or more 

persons at least one of whom is 62 years 

of age at the time of initial occupancy). 

Regulations also require that an owner 

is to determine the eligibility in 

selecting tenants. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 11, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The age waiver was 

granted for this project in order to allow 

flexibility in renting up this Section 

202/8 Supportive Housing for the 

Elderly project. The vacancy problems 

are due to the demise of some eligible 

applicants and the project’s remote 

location in Stebbins which is 600 miles 

from Anchorage making it a significant 

deterrent in the owner’s ability to attract 

eligible applicants. This waiver will 

enable the owner to maintain full 

occupancy and the project will not fail.

Project/Activity: Americus, Georgia 

(Joy Court Village Apartments—Project 

Number 061–EE083. The Atlanta

waiver to alleviate occupancy problems 

at the property. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations in 24 CFR part 891 requires

households composed of one or more 

persons at least one of whom is 62 years

Granted by: Frank L. Davis, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Housing—Deputy Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 17, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The waiver of this 

regulation was granted to allow the 

project owner flexibility in renting up 

vacant units to individuals who meet 

the definition of non elderly (between 

the ages of 55 and 62 years). The owner 

proposes an aggressive marketing plan 

in an effort to attract elderly families as 

well as changing project management. 

With these efforts, the owner may be 

able to achieve full occupancy for the 

project.

Project/Activity: Huntington, West 

Virginia (Fairfield Apartments—Project 

Number 045–EE007). The Charleston 

Multifamily Program Center has 

requested waiver of the elderly 

requirement for the property to alleviate 

an occupancy problem. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations in 24 CFR part 891 requires 

occupancy to be limited to very lowincome (VLI) elderly persons (i.e., 

households composed of one or more 

persons at least one of whom is 62 years 

of age at the time of initial occupancy). 

Regulations also require that an owner 

is to determine the eligibility in 

selecting tenants. 

Granted by: Frank L. Davis, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Housing—Deputy Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 18, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to alleviate the current 

occupancy problem. The property has a 

total of 17 units and is currently at 76 

percent occupancy. The property is 

unable to reach full occupancy due to 

the ‘‘soft’’ housing market in this area. 

Waiver of these provisions will allow 

vacancies to be marketed to non elderly, 

VIL applicants between the ages of 50 

and 62. Providing this waiver will allow 

the owner additional flexibility in 

attempting to rent the vacant units and 

perhaps start a waiting list. The current 

occupancy level will not support the 

operations of the property.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Harford, 

Pennsylvania (Harford Village—Project 

Number 034–EE075). The Philadelphia 

Multifamily Hub requested a waiver of 

the age and very low income 

requirements for this property to 

alleviate the current vacancy problem. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations in 24 CFR part 891 requires 

occupancy to be limited to very lowincome (VLI) elderly persons (i.e., 

households composed of one or more 

persons at least one of whom is 62 years 

of age at the time of initial occupancy). 

Regulations also require that an owner 

is to determine the eligibility in 

selecting tenants. 

Granted by: Frank L. Davis, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Housing—Deputy Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: May 18, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted to alleviate its current 

occupancy problem. The 20-unit 

property is located in a rural section of 

northern Pennsylvania. At present there 

67554 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 214 / Monday, November 7, 2005 / Notices 

is only one vacant unit with two 

vacancies anticipated for April 2005. 

This would result in a vacancy loss of 

15 percent. Management has 

aggressively marketed the property and 

currently has four prospective 

applicants on their waiting list, but their 

incomes are at the low-income level. 

This waiver will allow the project to 

reach occupancy levels which will 

support the operations of the project.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.410(c). 

Project/Activity: Weedville, 

Pennsylvania (St. Joseph’s Terrace—

Project Number 033–EE080). The 

Pittsburgh Multifamily Program Center 

has requested waiver of the very low 

income requirement for this property to 

alleviate occupancy problems. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations in 24 CFR part 891 requires 

occupancy to be limited to very low 

income (VLI) elderly persons (i.e., 

households composed of one or more 

persons at least one of whom is 62 years 

of age at the time of initial occupancy). 

Regulations also require that an owner 

is to determine the eligibility in 

selecting tenants. 

Granted by: Frank L. Davis, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for 

Housing—Deputy Federal Housing 

Commissioner. 

Date Granted: June 21, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted based on the project’s difficulty 

in maintaining full occupancy. This 22- 

unit property currently has 8 vacant 

units. The Section 8 very low income 

limits in Elk County, Pennsylvania, are 

prohibitively low. Surrounding 

counties, which are included in the 

market area, have higher Section 8 

income limits and a population of 

elderly applicants who often have 

higher incomes. This waiver will only 

permit admission of lower income 

applicants when there are no very low 

income applicants to fill vacancies. The 

current occupancy level will not 

support the operations of the project.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 891.575. 

Project/Activity: Indianapolis, Indiana 

(Gaslight Apartments—Project Number 

073–EH243). The Indianapolis 

Multifamily Program Center requested 

an age and income waiver for this 

Section 202 Direct Loan property to 

allow management to market units to 

non-elderly and low income eligible 

tenants to alleviate vacancy and 

financial problems. 

Nature of Requirement: HUD 

regulations in 24 CFR part 891 requires 

occupancy to be limited to very lowincome (VLI) elderly persons (i.e., 

households composed of one or more 

persons at least one of whom is 62 years 

of age at the time of initial occupancy). 

Regulations also require that an owner 

is to determine the eligibility in 

selecting tenants. 

Granted by: John C. Weicher, 

Assistant Secretary for Housing—

Federal Housing Commissioner. 

Date Granted: April 21, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The granted an age 

and income waiver for this project to 

alleviate the current occupancy and 

financial problems at the property. 

Gaslight Apartments is a 30-unit Section 

202 Direct Loan property located in 

Converse, Indiana, a small rural 

community with a small senior citizen 

population located between the towns 

of Kokomo and Marion, Indiana. The 

property has only 20 units occupied to 

date despite extensive outreach efforts. 

The current occupancy level will not 

support the operations of the property. 

The provisions of 24 CFR 891.575 need 

to be waived in order to allow the 

property to rent to non-elderly 

applicants between the ages of 50 and 

62 years and to allow applicants to meet 

the low income eligibility requirement.

family beginning at the effective date of 

the family’s second regular 

reexamination following the effective 

date of the decrease. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, Deputy 

Assistant Secretary for Public and

Bertie County, NC. The CADA requested 

a waiver regarding the availability of 

vouchers for project-based assistance so 

that it could enter into an agreement to 

enter into a HAP contract for 31 units 

at Ahoskie High School. 

Nature of Requirement: Section

units to be project-based must not be 

under a tenant-based or project based 

HAP contract or otherwise committed, 

e.g., vouchers issued to families 

searching for housing or units under an 

AHAP. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 30, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The requirement to 

have vouchers available at the time of 

execution of a HAP contract was waived 

for Ahoskie High School since the 

project will not be ready for occupancy 

until January or February 2007, at which 

time the CADA should have sufficient 

turnover of vouchers to meet its 

contractual obligations under a HAP 

contract.

and (c) and Section II of subpart F of the 

January 16, 2001, Federal Register 

Notice, Revisions to PHA Project-Based 

Assistance (PBA) Program; Initial 

Guidance. 

Project/Activity: Bellingham/ 

Whatcom County Housing Authority 

(Chestnut Street Project), Housing 

Authority of Island County (Marjie’s 

House), Housing Authority of Thurston 

County (Falls Point) and Spokane 

Housing Authority (Cedar West, 

Woodhaven, Summit View, St. 

Margaret’s and Riverwalk Point I), WA. 

All four public housing agencies (PHAs) 

requested a waiver of the competitive 

selection requirements, and two of the 

four also requested an exception to the 

25 percent cap on the number of units 

in a building that can have PBA 

attached, to permit them to attach PBA 

to units in all eight projects. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

983.51 requires competitive selection of 

owner proposals in accordance with a 

housing authority’s HUD-approved 

advertisement and unit selection policy. 

Section II of subpart F requires that no 

more than 25 percent of the dwelling 

units in any building may be assisted 

under a HAP contract for PBA except for 

dwelling units that are specifically 

made available for elderly families, 

disabled families and families receiving 

supportive services. Until regulations 

are promulgated regarding the category 

of families receiving supportive 

services, this aspect of the law is 

implemented on a case-by-case basis. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 20, 2005. 

Reason Waived: Competitive selection 

requirements were waived since in early 

2004 the Washington State Legislature 

appropriated $2 million to the 

Washington Families Fund (WFF) to 

provide comprehensive case 

management and supportive services to 

homeless families; and, in support of 

that effort, PHAs through the 

Association of Washington Housing 

Authorities (AWHA) agreed to attach 

PBA to projects receiving WFF 

supportive services dollars. Aids 

Housing of Washington (AHW) was 

selected to administer the WFF and 

issued a request for project proposals for 

WFF dollars on January 25, 2005. The 

subject projects were selected pursuant 

to that competitive process. An 

exception to the unit cap was granted 

for two of the eight projects (Marjie’s 

House and St. Margaret’s) since the 

projects that are funded under the WFF 

will have project-specific social service 

budgets that will cover case 

management and supportive services. 

Services will include individualized 

case management, literacy and job 

training, assistance in domestic violence 

and other trauma, referrals for mental 

health and substance abuse treatment, 

financial management, basic living 

skills, childcare, transportation 

assistance, housing counseling, and 

parenting skills education and training.

• Regulation: 24 CFR 983.151(c). 

Project/Activity: Cedar Rapids 

Housing Services (CRHS), Cedar Rapids, 

IA. The CRHS requested a waiver of the 

regulation so that it could renew the 

project-based certificate (PBC) housing 

assistance payments (HAP) contract for 

Edgewood Apartments beyond the 

expiration date of the Annual 

Contributions Contract since funding 

increments are only renewed for terms 

less than a year. 

Nature of Requirement: The 

regulation requires that, with HUD field 

office approval, and at the sole option 

of the public housing agency (PHA), 

PHAs may renew expiring HAP 

contracts for such period or periods as 

the HUD field office determines 

appropriate to achieve long-term 

affordability of the assisted housing, 

provided that the term does not extend 

beyond the Annual Contributions 

Contract expiration date for the funding 

source. PHAs must identify the funding 

source for renewals; different funding 

sources may be used for the initial term 

and renewal terms of the HAP contract. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 20, 2005. 

Reason Waived: Approval to waive 

the regulation was granted in order to 

allow the CRHS to provide rental 

assistance at these developments up to 

the maximum 15 years allowed under 

the PBC HAP contracts without having 

to request HUD field office approval to 

do so every year or less.

(MSHDA), Kalamazoo, MI. The MSHDA 

requested an exception to the 

deconcentration requirements to permit 

it to attach PBA to five units of existing 

units at Summit Park, which is in 

census tract 5 that has a poverty rate of 

22 percent. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II of 

subpart E of the Initial Guidance 

requires that in order to meet the 

Department’s goal of deconcentration 

and expanding housing and economic 

opportunities, the projects must be in 

census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 22, 2005. 

Reason Waived: An exception to the 

deconcentration requirements was 

granted since recent development 

within a one-mile radius of the project 

includes a new Felpaush grocery store, 

a strip mall that has retail, dining, 

clothing and banking facilities, and new 

offices for Northside Community 

Development that will include daycare 

and community space, which will 

provide job opportunities for residents 

of the census tract.

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 20, 2005. 

Reason Waived: Approval of the 

exception for deconcentration was 

granted since comprehensive services 

will be provided at the project to assist 

in educational attainment for the 

residents that ultimately will result in 

economic improvement. The services 

that will be provided include career 

development, education, job training, 

and other support services such as 

computer classes, and University of 

Massachusetts Dartmouth college 

courses in accounting and business. The 

development of a new ferry terminal 

may create job opportunities for 

residents.

Project/Activity: Massachusetts 

Department of Housing and Community 

Development (MDHCD), Haverhill, MA. 

The MDHCD requested an exception to 

the deconcentration requirements to 

permit it to attach PBA to 13 singleroom occupancy units at Winter Street 

Housing, which is in census tract 2601 

with a poverty rate of 23.6 percent. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II of

census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: June 13, 2005. 

Reason Waived: An exception to the 

deconcentration requirements was 

granted since the neighborhood around 

the project is undergoing significant 

revitalization. Construction of a new 

Walgreen’s and CVS will begin in a few 

months and will create approximately 

20 jobs in addition to those created by 

the construction of the stores. The 

investment in both buildings is 

approximately $4 million. There are 

several market rate developments that 

have been approved or proposed for 

development. These include a 56-unit 

and a 60-unit market rate development. 

The market value of the units in these 

developments will range between 

$160,000 and $250,000. The commercial 

and residential development and their 

related activities that will create jobs 

and housing opportunities are 

consistent with the goal of 

deconcentrating poverty and expanding 

housing and economic opportunities.

Date Granted: June 13, 2005. 

Reason Waived: An exception to the 

deconcentration requirements was 

granted since one of the goals of a HOPE 

VI revitalization project is to transform 

public housing, which includes 

lessening concentrations of poverty. 

Toward that goal, the total number of 

replacement units that will be assisted

housing assistance payments (HAP) 

contracts for Bernal Gateway, Golden

office approval, and at the sole option 

of the public housing agency (PHA), 

PHAs may renew expiring HAP 

contracts for such period or periods as 

the HUD field office determines 

appropriate to achieve long-term 

affordability of the assisted housing, 

provided that the term does not extend 

beyond the Annual Contributions 

Contract expiration date for the funding 

source. PHAs must identify the funding 

source for renewals; different funding 

sources may be used for the initial term 

and renewal terms of the HAP contract. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public

to request HUD field office approval to 

do so every year or less.

The SCHA requested a waiver of 

payment standard (PS) requirements to 

permit it to implement reduced 

payment standards earlier than required 

to avoid termination of HAP contracts 

during calendar year 2005 due to 

insufficient funding. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

982.505(c)(3) requires that if the amount 

on the PS schedule is decreased during 

the term of the HAP contract, the lower 

PS amount generally must be used to 

calculate the monthly HAP for the 

family beginning at the effective date of 

the family’s second regular 

reexamination following the effective 

date of the decrease. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 11, 2005. 

Reason Waived: The waiver was 

granted because this cost-saving 

measure would enable the SCHA to both 

manage its Housing Choice Voucher 

program within allocated budget 

authority and avoid the termination of 

HAP contracts due to insufficient 

funding.

and (c), 983.55 (a) and (c), 983.56(c),

E of the January 16, 2001, Federal 

Register Notice, Revisions to PHA 

Project-Based Assistance (PBA) 

Program; Initial Guidance. 

Project/Activity: Housing Authority of 

the City of Milwaukee (HACM), 

Milwaukee, WI. The HACM requested 

waiver of the competitive selection 

requirements and an exception to the 

deconcentration requirements to permit 

it to attach PBA to 22 units at the 

Highland Park Mid Rise HOPE VI 

Development, which is in census tract 

with a poverty rate of 21.4 percent. 

Nature of Requirement: Section 

983.51(a), (b) and (c) require 

competitive selection of owner 

proposals in accordance with a housing 

authority’s HUD-approved 

advertisement and unit selection policy. 

Section 983.55(a) and (c) and § 983.56(c) 

for new construction projects and 

§ 983.7(f)(2)(ii) for projects owned by a 

PHA require compliance with PHA 

selection criteria. Section II of subpart E 

of the Initial Guidance requires that in 

order to meet the Department’s goal of 

deconcentration and expanding housing 

and economic opportunities, the 

projects must be in census tracts with 

poverty rates of less than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 15, 2005. 

Reason Waived: Approval to waive 

competitive selection and related 

requirements was granted for this 

project since it underwent a comparable 

competitive process for Low Income 

Housing Tax Credits in 2003 through 

the Wisconsin Housing and Economic 

Development Authority and was 

selected without a prior commitment of 

PBA. An exception to the 

deconcentration requirements was 

granted since the mid rise development 

of 114 units will replace 220 units of 

existing public housing in the two highrise towers for the elderly and disabled, 

which represents a significant reduction 

in assisted units at the site.

• Regulation: Section II of subpart E 

of the January 16, 2001, Federal 

Register Notice, Revisions to PHA 

Project-Based Assistance (PBA) 

Program; Initial Guidance. 

Project/Activity: Missoula Housing 

Authority (MHA), Missoula, MT. The 

MHA requested an exception to the 

deconcentration requirements to permit 

it to attach PBA to: 6 units at the YWCA 

project in census tract 8 with a poverty 

rate of 24.2 percent; 3 units at Word’s 

Gold Dust project in census tract 2.01 

with a poverty rate of 28.3 percent; and 

16 units at Maclay Commons in census 

tract 10 with a poverty rate of 23.9 

percent. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II of 

subpart E of the Initial Guidance 

requires that in order to meet the 

Department’s goal of deconcentration 

and expanding housing and economic 

opportunities, the projects must be in 

census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 15, 2005. 

Reason Waived: An exception to the 

deconcentration requirements was 

granted since the adjusted poverty rates 

in the applicable census tracts would all 

be below 20 percent when the student 

population related to the University of 

Montana is discounted. These 

households have minimum or zero 

income and occupy nearly 35 percent of 

Missoula’s rental units.

Project-Based Assistance (PBA) 

Program; Initial Guidance. 

Project/Activity: Michigan State 

Housing Development Authority 

(MSHDA), Lansing, MI. The MSHDA 

requested a waiver of deconcentration 

requirements to permit it to attach PBA 

to 30 units at Herkimer Apartments in 

Grand Rapids, which is located in 

census tract 21 that has a poverty rate 

of 20 percent. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II of 

subpart E of the Initial Guidance 

requires that in order to meet the 

Department’s goal of deconcentration 

and expanding housing and economic 

opportunities, the projects must be in 

census tracts with poverty rates of less 

than 20 percent. 

Granted by: Paula O. Blunt, General 

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public 

and Indian Housing. 

Date Granted: April 4, 2005. 

Reason Waived: An exception to the 

deconcentration requirements was 

granted since the area in which 

Herkimer Apartments is located was 

designated a Neighborhood Preservation 

Program target area in 1999 by MSHDA 

and in 2004 became part of a larger area 

designated as a Michigan ‘‘Cool Cities’’

neighborhood called ‘‘Avenue of the 

Arts.’’ Within this neighborhood is the 

Martineau Project, a $10.5 million 

housing and commercial arts project 

designed to reinforce the current 

economic development activity by 

providing 14,000 square feet of 

commercial space leased to the Calvin 

College Arts Department and a cafe ́ and 

catering business that provides 

economic opportunities. In addition, 

market rate units (Front Row 

Condominiums and City View 

Condominiums) in the immediate area 

are selling for up to $329,000.

Project/Activity: Chicago Housing 

Authority (CHA), Chicago, IL. The CHA 

requested an exception to the 25 percent 

cap on the umber of units in a building 

that can have PBA attached to permit it 

to attach PBA to 50 units at the St. Leo’s 

Residence. 

The CHA also requested an exception 

to the Initial Guidance for the St. Leo’s 

Residence that is located in a census 

tract with a poverty rate greater than 20 

percent. 

The CHA also requested a waiver of 

competitive selection of owner 

proposals under the project-based 

program for the St. Leo’s Residence. 

Nature of Requirement: Section II of 

subpart F requires that no more than 25 

percent of the dwelling units in any 

building may be assisted under a HAP 

contract for PBA except for dwelling 

units that are specifically made 

available for elderly families, disabled 

families and families receiving 

supportive services. Until regulations 

are promulgated regarding the category 

of families receiving supportive 

services, this aspect of the law is 

implemented on a case-by-case basis. 

Section II of subpart E of the Initial 

Guidance requires that in order to meet 

the Department’s goal of 

deconcentration and expanding housing 

and economic opportunities, the 

projects must be in census tracts with 

poverty rates of less than 20 percent. 

Regulations at 24 CFR 983.51 require 

competitive selection of owner 

proposals in accordance with a housing 

authority’s HUD-approved 

advertisement and unit selection policy. 

Granted by: Michael Liu, Assistant 

Secretary for Public and Indian 

Housing. 

Date Granted: April 25, 2005. 

Reason Waived: An exception to the 

unit cap was granted based on the 

nature of the services families would 

receive. The services include job 

training and assisting residents in the 

pursuit of employment. The Department 

of Veteran’s Affairs will operate a 

nearby community-based outpatient 

clinic which will contain a floor that 

will house a computer lab, and job 

training classrooms. 

The project is located in a HUDdesignated Enterprise Zone. The 

purpose of establishing enterprise zones 

was to open new businesses, and create 

jobs, housing, and new educational and 

healthcare opportunities for thousands 

of Americans. As these goals are 

consistent with the goal of 

deconcentrating poverty and expanding 

housing and economic opportunities, 

approval of an exception to the 

deconcentration requirement was 

granted. 

Approval to waive competitive 

selection requirements was granted for 

the St. Leo’s Residence since the project 

had undergone a previous federal 

competition. The project was awarded 

federal Low Income Housing Tax 

Credits.

with GED and ESL classes, as well as 

linkage to day care for children to 

support job training and job.
