PUBLIC HOUSING RENOVATION The CHA plans to renovate all 719 of our Public Housing units in five (5) phases from: 2014 – 2017. Rental Assistance Demonstration Program (RAD) – Convert to long-term contract rents – Project-Based Vouchers. Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) from MHDC – Combination of 4% & 9% credits. 3
RENTAL ASSISTANCE DEMONSTRATION (RAD) PROGRAM RAD - A new HUD Pilot Program Designed to encourage housing authorities to transition from the public housing financial model to the more stable Project- Based Section 8 model. Conversion to Long-Term Contract Rents The RAD Program allows housing authorities to convert their unpredictable Public Housing subsidies to a long-term contract rent under the Project-Based Voucher Program (Section 8). Substantial Renovation of Public Housing The RAD conversion is based on the CHA renovating current Public Housing stock to a level that may be sustained for 15 to 20 years. 4

No Re-screening of Tenants upon Conversion. Pursuant to the RAD statute, at conversion, current households are not subject to rescreening, income eligibility, or income targeting provisions. Right to Return. Any residents that may need to be temporarily relocated to facilitate rehabilitation or construction will have a right to return to the development once rehabilitation or construction is completed. Renewal of Lease. Under RAD, the PHA must renew all leases upon lease expiration, unless cause exists. Phase-in of Tenant Rent Increases. If a tenant’s monthly rent increases by more than the greater of 10 percent or $25 purely as a result of conversion, the rent increase will be phased in over 3 years, which a PHA may extend to 5 years. 7
Public Housing Family Self Sufficiency (PH FSS) and Resident Opportunities and Self Sufficiency Service Coordinator (ROSS- SC) programs. Current PH FSS participants will continue to be eligible for FSS once their housing is converted under RAD. Current ROSS-SC grantees will be able to finish out their current ROSS-SC grants once their housing is converted under RAD. Resident Participation and Funding. Residents of covered projects converting assistance to PBVs will have the right to establish and operate a resident organization for the purpose of addressing issues related to their living environment and be eligible for resident participation funding. 8
Resident Choice and Mobility. One of the major benefits of the RAD program is that the program greatly enhances the choice and mobility of Residents living in the converted Public Housing units. The units will be converted to Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), in which residents may move out of the converted Public Housing development with housing assistance after living there for one year. Once this residency requirement has been met, the Resident may be issued a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher if they choose not to renew their lease. The Resident can use their voucher anywhere in Columbia and Boone County and may also “port - out” to another PHA with their voucher and continue to receive housing assistance through the new PHA. 9
