CHOICE 
REQUIREMENT.—^A housing 
assistance payment contract pursuant to this paragraph 
shall provide as follows: 
"(i) MOBILITY.—Each low-income family occupying 
a dwelling unit assisted under the contract may move 
from the housing at any time after the family has 
occupied the dwelling unit for 12 months. 
"(ii) CONTINUED ASSISTANCE.—Upon such a move, 
the public housing agency shall provide the low-income 
family with tenant-based rental assistance under this 
section or such other tenant-based rental assistance 
that is subject to comparable income, assistance, rent 
contribution, affordability, and other requirements, as 
the Secretary shall provide by regulation. If such rental 
assistance is not immediately available to fulfill the 
requirement under the preceding sentence with respect 
to a low-income family, such requirement may be met

provided under paragraph (11). 
"(G) EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TERM.—^A pubhc housing 
agency may enter into a contract with the owner of a 
structure assisted under a housing assistance payment con-
tract pursuant to this paragraph to extend the term of 
the underlying housing assistance payment contract for 
such period as the agency determines to be appropriate 
to achieve long-term affordability of the housing or to 
expand housing opportunities. Such a contract shall provide 
that the extension of such term shall be contingent upon 
the future availability of appropriated funds for the purpose 
of renewing expiring contracts for assistance pa3anents, 
as provided in appropriations Acts, and may obligate the 
owner to have such extensions of the underlying housing 
assistance payment contract accepted by the owner and 
the successors in interest of the owner. 
"(H) RENT CALCULATION.—^A housing assistance pay-
ment contract pursuant to this paragraph shall establish 
rents for each unit assisted in an amount that does not

unit may be established at any level that does not exceed 
the rent charged for comparable units in the building that 
also receive the low-income housing tax credit but do not 
have additional rental assistance. The rents established 
by housing assistance payment contracts pursuant to this 
paragraph may vary from the payment standards estab-
lished by the public housing agency pursuant to paragraph 
(1)(B), but shall be subject to paragraph (10)(A). 
"(I) RENT ADJUSTMENTS.—^A housing assistance pay-
ments contract pursuant to this paragraph shall provide

"(i) the adjusted rent for any unit assisted shall 
be reasonable in comparison with rents charged for 
comparable dwelling units in the private, unassisted, 
local market and may not exceed the maximum rent 
permitted under subparagraph (H); and 
"(ii) the provisions of subsection (c)(2)(C) shall not 
apply. 
"(J) TENANT SELECTION.—^A public housing agency shall 
select families to receive project-based assistance pursuant 
to this paragraph from its waiting list for assistance under 
this subsection. Eligibility for such project-based assistance 
shall be subject to the provisions of section 16(b) that 
apply to tenant-based assistance. The agency may establish 
preferences or criteria for selection for a unit assisted under 
this paragraph that are consistent with the public housing 
agency plan for the agency approved under section 5A.

PUBLIC LAW 106-377—APPENDIX A 
to a structure by the owner or manager of a structure 
assisted under this paragraph shall retain its place on

owner or manager of a structure assisted under this para-
graph shall not admit any family to a dwelling unit assisted 
under a contract pursuant to this paragraph other than 
a family referred by the public housing agency from its 
waiting list. Subject to its waiting list policies and selection 
preferences, a public housing agency may place on its wait-
ing list a family referred by the owner or manager of 
a structure and may maintain a separate waiting list for 
assistance under this paragraph, but only if all families 
on the agency's waiting list for assistance under this sub-
section are permitted to place their names on the separate 
list.

a housing assistance payment contract pursuant to this 
paragraph may provide as follows: 
"(i) PAYMENT FOR VACANT UNITS.—That the public 
housing agency may, in its discretion, continue to pro-
vide assistance under the contract, for a reasonable 
period not exceeding 60 days, for a dwelling unit that 
becomes vacant, but only: (I) if the vacancy was not 
the fault of the owner of the dwelling unit; and (II) 
the agency and the owner take every reasonable action 
to minimize the likelihood and extent of any such 
vacancy. Rental assistance may not be provided for 
a vacant unit after the expiration of such period. 
"(ii) REDUCTION OF CONTRACT.—That, if despite 
reasonable efforts of the agency and the owner to fill 
a vacant unit, no eligible family has agreed to rent 
the unit within 120 days after the owner has notified 
the agency of the vacancy, the agency may reduce 
its housing assistance payments contract with the 
owner by the amount equivalent to the remaining 
months of subsidy attributable to the vacant unit. 
Amounts deobligated pursuant to such a contract provi-
sion shall be available to the agency to provide assist-
ance under this subsection. 
Eligible applicants for assistance under this subsection may 
enforce provisions authorized by this subparagraph.".
