The New FormulaThe New Formula

Requires PHAs with 400 or more PH units to transition to project-based accounting, budgeting, and management Threshold of 400 doesn’t apply to stop-loss PHAS

Is based on HUD’s multifamily industry Will force the PH program to become more

property-based

Slide Number #5

Hot Off the PressHot Off the Press

PIH Notice 2008-16(HA) PHAs with 250-400 units can exempt

themselves But the election for exemption is only

authorized for CY 2008 PHAs that elect the exemption aren’t

“grandfathered” in for future years And there are lots of requirements

Slide Number #6

Key Implementation DatesKey Implementation Dates

Determination of Asset Management Projects (AMPs) – CY 2006

Implementation of new Operating Fund Formula – CY 2007

Operating Subsidy by AMPs – Begins in CY 2008

Project-Based Budgeting/Accounting – Begins with PHA FYs July 1, 2007 and forward

Subsidy is fully fungible in CY 2008

Cost Reasonableness – Begins in Fiscal Year 2009

Slide Number #7

The New Model for PHThe New Model for PH

Fundamental shift for public housing Historically, operating subsidy was calculated

on an aggregate level Op sub was allocated to the central office, which

decided where the subsidy went

Now, subsidy is calculated for and allocated to each project

Slide Number #8

The New Model for PHThe New Model for PH

Funding goes to the projects, and projects pay for everything else

Any service to the project not at the project will come from a cost center Every PHA will have a central office cost center

Direct, indirect, and allocated services

Slide Number #9

The New Model for PHThe New Model for PH

Two main components Project-based management is decentralized

property services tailored to the needs of each property, given the resources available to each property

Asset management is strategic oversight and centralized services tailored to the needs of the portfolio as a whole

Slide Number #10

AMPs – the Economic Engine of PHAMPs – the Economic Engine of PH

Your PHA defined its asset management projects (AMPs) for purposes of project-based accounting, budgeting, and management

Each AMP has its own budget, financial statements, staffing, subsidy, capital plan, and will have its own performance scoring

Not in book

Slide Number #11

AMPS – the Economic EngineAMPS – the Economic Engine

The PHA’s decision on the grouping of AMPS is based on: Geographic location Organizational structure Size of the PHA Housing stock

Not in book

Resident population Delivery systems Maintenance delivery

Slide Number #12

Compliance with Asset Compliance with Asset ManagementManagement

Best definition of compliance so far is notice to stop-loss agencies, since they have to comply early

Slide Number #13

Notice 2006-14(HA)Notice 2006-14(HA)

Even though these are the instructions for stop-loss agencies, this notice, and the Stop Loss Kit, is the clearest roadmap for all PHAs The difference is in the deadline

Slide Number #14

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

1. Project-based accounting Monthly operating statements for each

project – revenues and expenses vs. budget levels, including all fees from the COCC and Capital Fund

Must reasonably reflect the financial performance of each project

Slide Number #15

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

2. Project-based management Property management services are

arranged or provided in the best interest of the property considering needs, cost, and responsiveness, relative to local market standards

Slide Number #16

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

3. Central office cost center (COCC) must charge reasonable fees to the AMPs

COCC must operate on the allowable fees and other permitted reimbursements from its PH and S8 programs

In other words, the COCC must support itself

Slide Number #17

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

4. Centralized services that directly support projects are funded using a fee-for-service approach or through other allowable charge-backs

Each project is charged for actual services received - must be reasonable compared to local market

Slide Number #18

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

5. Review of project performance PHA systematically reviews financial,

physical, and management performance of each project, and identifies non-performing properties

Slide Number #19

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

5. Review of project performance – a non-performing property has:

PHAS physical score below 70 Significant crime and drug problems Below 95% occupancy TARS that exceed 7% of monthly rent roll

Slide Number #20

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

5. Review of project performance – a non-performing property has:

PHAS grade of “D” or below for vacant unit turnaround and work orders

Utility consumption more than 120% of agency average

Other major management problems

Turnaround = D more than 30 daysWOs = D more than 40 days

Slide Number #21

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

5. Review of project performance Long-term prospects for each property:

Maintain project as is Identify capital improvements needed Dispose of property (demo, sale, etc) Financial condition of each project

Slide Number #22

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

6. Capital planning Physical needs assessment and a five-year

plan for each project Five-year plan needs to consider revenue

sources, market, tenancy, and project needs

Long-range energy consumption reduction

Slide Number #23

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

7. Risk management responsibilities related to regulatory compliance

PHA not carrying out responsibilities if: Designated troubled under PHAS Any outstanding FHEO findings or

voluntary compliance agreement not implemented…

Slide Number #24

Seven Criteria for Compliance Seven Criteria for Compliance with Asset Managementwith Asset Management

7. Regulatory noncompliance if: No current energy audit… Outstanding IG audit findings w/no progress Not in compliance with ACOP Unsatisfactory progress under RHIIP/RIM PIC (50058) reporting rate under 95% Any other major compliance deficiency

Slide Number #25

The Deal with Stop-LossThe Deal with Stop-Loss

Under the new op sub formula, about a third of PHAs gained, a third stayed the same, and a third lost op sub

Slide Number #26

The Deal with Stop-LossThe Deal with Stop-Loss

The PHAs who are “losers” under the new formula can stop the loss of subsidy by early conversion to asset management

Slide Number #27

Stop-Loss ProvisionStop-Loss Provision

Deadline for Year 1 was October 15, 2007 If PHA demonstrated conversion by that date,

the reduction of subsidy stopped at 5% of the difference for CY 2007 That means that 95% of the PUM difference

will be added to the lower op sub level under the final rule

Slide Number #28

Stop-Loss ProvisionStop-Loss Provision

For subsequent years, the % of loss goes up

Slide Number #29

Stop-Loss ProvisionStop-Loss Provision

There will be additional requirements for subsequent years Year 2 has more requirements than Year 1

HUD staff will have to monitor

Slide Number #30

Per Unit Month (PUM)Per Unit Month (PUM)

Budgeted income and expense items are shown in a monthly and yearly total dollar amount – and also in a per unit per month (PUM)

Page 6-3

Slide Number #31

Per Unit Month (PUM)Per Unit Month (PUM)

PUM is an important concept PUM applies to any line item ($) that:

Was spent, is being spent, or will be spent Was earned, is being earned, or will be earned

Formula is: Any line item $ ÷ EUM = PUM

Slide Number #32

Per Unit Month (PUM)Per Unit Month (PUM)

PUM also allows the portfolio to be tracked over time as the number of units change Example:

Last year the PHA had 1200 units This year, due to demo/dispo, there are 1100

units

Slide Number #33

Per Unit Month (PUM)Per Unit Month (PUM)

PUM also allows sites to be compared – even if they aren’t of similar size type and age If one AMP’s landscape cost is $26.82 and

another’s of similar common grounds is $10.45, costs may need to be analyzed

Slide Number #34

Operating Subsidy FormulaOperating Subsidy Formula

The Money is Driving the Changes

Page 6-4

Slide Number #35

The New Operating SubsidyThe New Operating Subsidy

The old op sub was aggregate - AEL Under the new formula, subsidy is

calculated and allocated by project - PEL The op sub will go directly to the projects,

and all other activities will be supported by fees paid by the projects

We see these in PUM (per unit month) figures

Slide Number #36

The New Operating SubsidyThe New Operating Subsidy

Operating subsidy formula:Project expense level (PEL)

+ Utility expense level- Formula income frozen at 2004 level

+ Applicable add-ons

= Operating subsidy

Slide Number #37

The New Operating SubsidyThe New Operating Subsidy

Ten components used to calculate PEL:1. Geographic variable – one of the two most

significant variables – where you are in the country

2. Central city variable

3. Clientele (occupancy) variable – family properties tend to cost 6% more

Page 6-5

Slide Number #38

The New Operating SubsidyThe New Operating Subsidy

Ten variables used to calculate op sub:4. Property size variable – number of units

5. Building type variable – high-rise, garden walk-up, single family home, etc.

6. Bedroom mix variable – the other most significant variable

Slide Number #39

The New Operating SubsidyThe New Operating Subsidy

Ten variables used to calculate op sub:7. Percent assisted variable – 100%

subsidized tends to cost 6% more

8. Property age variable

9. Neighborhood poverty variable

10. Ownership type variable – for-profits have costs that are 6% less

Slide Number #40

Slide Number #47

CostsCosts

All budget costs and expenses will fall into one of three general categories: Direct cost (at the project) Central office cost center (COCC)

Indirect services Other cost centers (optional)

For direct and allocated services

Slide Number #48

Cost CentersCost Centers

Every PHA will have at least one cost center, the central office cost center (COCC)

Centralized maintenance may also be a cost center

Slide Number #49

Frontline (Direct) CostsFrontline (Direct) Costs

These are expenses of the project: Personnel costs of staff assigned to project Repair and maintenance costs including

supplies, contracted repairs, make-readies, preventive maintenance, etc.

Utility costs Costs related to the site office – phones, office

supplies, computers, postage, etc.

Slide Number #50

These are expenses of the project: Property management fees, bookkeeping

fees, and asset management fees Audit costs (allocated) Vehicle expense for site-based vehicles

Slide Number #52

Charging for MaintenanceCharging for Maintenance

Maintenance is an example of services that may need to be provided directly to projects that are centrally located and charged based on time spent or actual work performed

Slide Number #53

Charging for MaintenanceCharging for Maintenance

How to organize maintenance is an important PBM decision A PHA can decide to organize maintenance:

Decentralized – front line Supervised by the property manager

Centrally A mix

Slide Number #54

Charging for MaintenanceCharging for Maintenance

If the PHA uses centralized maintenance, will be required to use fee-for-service method when charging the project Project can only be charged for actual

services provided Could be a single blended hourly rate,

separate hourly rates for various activities, or flat fee – must be reasonable

Slide Number #55

Centralized Maintenance Centralized Maintenance

For all centralized maintenance staff providing direct services, the PHA can charge up to the market rate Even if it’s above what the

technician is actually paid

Slide Number #56

Centralized MaintenanceCentralized MaintenanceHow Much Can the PHA Charge?How Much Can the PHA Charge?

Sally is a maintenance worker $52.26 Wages

$23.52 Benefits (45%)

$75.78 Hourly rate

If the market rate is $100, the hourly charge could be $100, regardless of what Sally is paid

Slide Number #57

Charging for MaintenanceCharging for Maintenance

Costs of overall labor cost include: Gross salary, employer FICA contributions,

federal unemployment tax, state unemployment tax, worker’s comp insurance, health insurance premiums, cost of fidelity or comparable insurance, performance incentives and or annual bonuses, and retirement benefits (pre and post retirement)

Slide Number #59

Costs of Other FunctionsCosts of Other Functions

Charging the project Where it’s cost-effective,

PHA can prorate across projects, the cost of centralized staff who perform frontline functions

Page 6-17

Slide Number #60

Charging Back to the ProjectCharging Back to the Project

These are called front line allocated costs For example, collecting rent centrally,

employee handing rent collection, as well as direct costs, could be charged back to applicable projects on any reasonable basis

Not necessary for the rent collection clerk to track his or her activity per AMP

Slide Number #61

Charging Back to the ProjectCharging Back to the Project

Two exceptions to charging projects for centralized staff performing frontline functions: Can’t charge projects for cost of a centralized

supervisor Can’t charge projects cost of centralized staff

handling procurement

Slide Number #62

Update – Centralized WarehouseUpdate – Centralized Warehouse

FAQ December 1, 2006 If a warehouse at the COCC is for

“storerooms” of scattered sites, with HUD approval, this can be an eligible frontline cost

Not in book

Slide Number #63

Charging Back to the ProjectCharging Back to the Project

HUD will allow charging back to project: Central waiting lists, screening, leasing and

occupancy – PHAs can prorate costs direct costs of these functions to the AMPs, including supervisory personnel The proration can be based on the number of units

leased at a project, average turnover at a project, or other reasonable allocation method

Page 6-18

Slide Number #64

Charging Back to the ProjectCharging Back to the Project

HUD will allow charging back to project: Resident programs – PHA can prorate

centralized resident programs across projects on a reasonable basis, including supervisory staff

Slide Number #65

Charging Back to the ProjectCharging Back to the Project

HUD will allow charging back to project: Protective services – PHAs can charge

centralized protective services, either in-house or through local law enforcement, including supervisory staff

HUD eventually wants these tracked by project

Slide Number #66

Charging Back to the ProjectCharging Back to the Project

HUD will allow charging back to project: Work order processing

Although it is the norm in multifamily housing to handle work order processing on site, a PHA may charge the cost of centralized work order processing only if the PHA can document/justify that the cost pro rated is reasonable and necessary

Slide Number #67

Shared Resource CostsShared Resource Costs

HUD knows it may not make economic sense to have FT maintenance staff dedicated to one AMP In this case the PHA may establish a

reasonable method to spread these personnel costs to the AMPs receiving the service

Page 6-19

Slide Number #68

Shared Resource CostsShared Resource Costs

Shared resource costs are distinguished from front line prorated costs in that the services being shared are limited to a few projects as opposed to being prorated across all projects An example of a shared resource cost might

be a maintenance person assigned to and paid for by two projects

Slide Number #69

Shared Resource CostsShared Resource Costs

- What if there is PHA personnel who provide services both to the projects and the central office cost center?

Slide Number #70

Shared Resource CostsShared Resource Costs

- For PHA staff who provide services both to the projects and the central office cost center, the PHA must separate the amount of time spent on providing services to the projects and the central office cost center, based on a reasonable methodology

Slide Number #71

Shared Resource CostsShared Resource Costs

- The time spent by the staff on projects must be at an hourly rate that does not exceed the reasonable hourly fee for the service

The Budget ProcessThe Budget Process

To approach developing a budget, look at actual data from the past – see where the project underspent and overspent Decide what needs to change and what needs

to stay the same For example, a major marketing campaign may

be needed to improve lease-up Costs may need to be cut in some areas

Slide Number #114

Excess Cash and FungibilityExcess Cash and Fungibility

Overview There are limitations and

freedoms on the use of project income depending whether your project has excess cash

Slide Number #115

Excess Cash and FungibilityExcess Cash and Fungibility

Excess cash is the project’s net liquid assets, or “surplus cash”

After the first year, calculation is based on prior year-end financial statements

Audited statements will determine final excess cash amount

Slide Number #116

Uses of Excess CashUses of Excess Cash

Retain funds for future project use Transfer funds to other AMP Pay as asset management fee to COCC Use for other HUD-approved eligible

purposes Financing new units, handling lawsuits,

covering accrued pension and retirement

Slide Number #117

Excess Cash and FungibilityExcess Cash and Fungibility

Uses of excess cash not permitted: Loaning or giving COCC cash other than as

the asset management fee Proceeds from the sale of assets to the

COCC – these belong to the AMP Except with HUD approval

Slide Number #118

Excess Cash DefinedExcess Cash Defined

Excess cash will be calculated from the FDS – it’s the sum of certain current assets minus the sum of all current liabilities, minus one month’s operating expenses for the AMP

Slide Number #119

Calculation of Excess CashCalculation of Excess Cash

Calculation of excess cash:Sum of asset accounts on the FDS

- Sum of ALL current liabilities- One month operating expenses for AMP

= Excess cash

Slide Number #120

FungibilityFungibility

Fungibility effective date Prior to first project-based submissions, on

or after July 1, 2008, all funds are considered fully fungible, including to the COCC Once the PHA has reported PBM data,

excess cash restrictions and limitations apply

Slide Number #121

FungibilityFungibility

In the 1st year of project-based accounting, full fungibility of op funds between projects

In the 2nd year, fungibility is allowed provided project has excess cash

In the 3rd year, fungibility will require that excess cash must equal at least one month of operating expenses

Slide Number #122

Allowable FungibilityAllowable Fungibility

Is this transfer fungible? Yes No
