Recently there have been many changes made to the PBCA program. As a result of HUD’s decision to withdraw the PBCA contract awards in most states, including Florida, HUD has made the decision to re-evaluate the award process and plans to issue a NOFA in the coming months.

Until such time, HUD has issued, and NTHDC has accepted, a six month contract extension effective October 1, 2011.

Under the new terms of the ACC Contract extension, NTHDC will no longer be under contract to perform or monitor Management and Occupancy Review activities or HAP contract opt outs.

However, NTHDC will continue to pay monthly HAP vouchers, monitor tenant concerns, adjust contract rents, and renew HAP contracts. Owner/Agents should continue to send information and requests pertaining to any of these tasks in the same manner as usual.

HUD has not informed NTHDC as to how open MORs will be handled after October 1, 2011. As a result, NTHDC strongly recommends that you work to close out all open items on your MOR report with NTHDC prior to October 1, 2011.

NTHDC is committed to supporting our owners and agents and therefore we will continue to provide quality technical assistance and customer service.

Please contact NTHDC if you have any questions. Regards, The North Tampa Housing Development Corporation
