Rental
Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA)
Does a property that was purchased with a typical commercial bank loan qualify?
No, eligible properties must have financing or capital investment from a federal, state or local program such as LIHTC, HOME, HTF, CDBG, Rural Housing, state bond funds or other capital funding sources.
Is KHC considering a stand-alone application or attaching points/incentive to LIHTC applications? Placing equity and matching investors to developments/locations/partners is extremely difficult.
There will be multiple points of access for property participation. KHC's 811 PRA team is in discussion with KHC’s Multifamily Programs team regarding the potential for KHC funded properties to set aside units for 811 PRA.
Is KHC’s Tenant Assistance Programs (TAP) team responsible for assisting the tenant locate services or is it the referring agency’s (KHC’s Coordinated Entry) responsibility?
KHC continues to work out the mechanics of the process with our state partners. Stay tuned!
Referrals from Medicaid and iRISE – how do you get those into 811 housing and support?
iRISE is one of the options we are exploring with our state partners.
What accessibility standards do the units need to adhere to?
Unit accessibility is part of KHC’s property application review. KHC and our state partners will work to match the needs of the 811 PRA tenant to the appropriate accessible 811 PRA unit.
When is the KHC property application window going to be open to apply?
When the property application is available on KHC’s website, an email blast will be sent to all webinar attendees and a KHC eGram alert will be sent to subscribers.
Who polices the 25% compliance and how is it done (how often)? Tenants move in and out over time, so the percentage of people with disabilities will vary. Do you have to turn down people with disabilities if over 25% because that would conflict with fair housing laws.
KHC will monitor the property requirement that restricts 25% of the total units to persons with disabilities. A property would not need to turn away an additional disabled person from leasing at the property, but they would not be able to receive 811 PRA subsidy if the property is at the 25% maximum threshold.
