HUD recently released a Notice detailing a policy for transferring Section 8 subsidy. The policy allows for HAP transfers. It may also effectively allow HUD and owners to revive HAP contracts that otherwise would have expired through an owner’s opt-out. The policy would permit creation of new project-based HAP contracts at properties that currently do not participate in the Section 8 program, and the expansion of existing HAP contracts on partially assisted properties to cover additional units. However, there are serious limitations involved that may make this tool difficult to use in practice.
