Rental Assistance Demonstration: Supplemental Guidance on Final Notice

On July 26, 2012, HUD announced through notice in the Federal Register the implementation of the statutorily authorized Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), which provides the opportunity to test the conversion of public housing and other HUD-assisted properties to long-term, project-based Section 8 rental assistance. The July 26, 2012 notice provided for full implementation of RAD, and the posting of the Final Program Notice (Final Program Notice, PIH-2012-32) on HUD's RAD website. HUD subsequently issued a number of revised program notices, the most recent on January 12, 2017 (PIH 2012-32/Housing 2017-03 REV- 3). This notice announces the posting of a supplement to the most current notice PIH 2012-32/Housing 2017-03 REV-3 (RAD Supplemental Notice, PIH 2018-11/H 2018-05). As provided by the RAD Statute, this notice addresses the requirement that the demonstration may proceed after HUD publishes the terms of the notice in the Federal Register. This notice summarizes the key changes made to the PIH 2012-32/Housing 2017-03 REV-3 through the RAD Supplemental Notice, PIH 2018-11/H 2018- 05. This notice also meets the RAD statutory requirement to publish at least 10 days before they may take effect, waivers and alternative requirements authorized by the statute, which does not prevent the demonstration, as modified, from proceeding immediately.
