PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY OFFICE OF HOUSING AND

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

23

Prince William County was designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as an “Urban Entitlement County” Beginning July 1, 1992. As such, Prince William became eligible to receive annual allocations of federal housing funds, to be used for activities which benefit low-and moderate-income persons and households. The Prince William County Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) is responsible for administering County housing programs and initiatives. This includes administration of the Area’s annual federal (HUD) allocations, a portion of which goes to the independent Cities of Manassas City and Manassas Park.

The Consolidated Plan is a federally-mandated, multi-year plan for meeting the housing and community development needs of low-and moderate-income households in the Prince William Area (PWC, Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park). The Consolidated Plan is a collaborative process wherein community housing and community development needs, resources and priorities are identified, and a vision is set for addressing these needs, using federal entitlement funds of CDBG and HOME.

Housing Choice Voucher Program

The Prince William County Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) is a public housing agency (PHA) that administers the federally funded Housing Choice Voucher Program through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program is designed to provide affordable, safe, decent and sanitary rental housing for very low, low-and moderate-income families. As vouchers become available, eligible families are called from the waiting list which opens periodically. Vouchers may be used anywhere in the United States, including the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico. The Housing Choice Voucher Program enables families to locate housing in the private rental market where landlords are willing to participate and where the rents are comparable to similar unassisted units and falls within the program’s guidelines. When families begin renting assisted units, they must pay a minimum of 30%, not to exceed 40%, of their monthly adjusted income towards rent and utilities. This calculation of assistance is done by a Housing Specialist.

OHCD screens families for participation in the program using income, assets and household size. Landlords are screened to prove ownership of the property, and suitability for the program. There are HUD restrictions on owners who are related to household participants. The owner is responsible to screen potential tenants using the same procedures used for unassisted tenants. Any screening of tenants is subject to Fair Housing Laws.

It is the responsibility of the tenant to pay the security deposit. The amount should be the same charged to non-program participants given the same circumstances (i.e. credit). Virginia State Law limits the security deposit amount to no more than two months contract rent. Contract rent in the Housing Choice voucher program is subject to PHA approval.

Any approved lease may be used as long as the HUD Tenancy Addendum is used in con-junction with the lease. Leases are submitted to the tenant’s assigned Housing Specialist for approval prior to Execution of the lease. The initial lease term for any assisted unit is one year. Upon renewal, owners and tenants can opt to renew for an additional year, alternate terms (i.e. 6 months) or month to month which is the legal default renewal lease tem where no other term is specified.

Rental payments to owners are the combination of both a tenant’s portion and/or the portion designated to be paid by the PHA. Payments are scheduled to reach owners by the first of each month. Payments for new leases may be delayed by approximately one month due to an initial processing time. Tenants must pay the amount of rent designated by their Housing Specialist, within the timeframe required by their lease. Active tenants cannot be held legally responsible for unpaid portions of rent due from the PHA to the owner. Tenants can never pay over and above approved contract rent that has been designated by the PHA.

The tenant is responsible to pay for any utilities designated by the terms of the lease. Utility deposits are also the responsibility of the tenant. It is both the tenant and landlord’s responsibility to ensure that the utilities are put in the tenant’s name. Failure to maintain working utilities for periods longer than 24 hours in an assisted units is considered a violation of the Housing Choice Voucher program, which may result in termination of Rental Assistance.

A family participating in the program may be evicted for the same reasons an unassisted tenant can be evicted through local courts. The Code of Federal Regulations requires that both tenant and owner notify the housing authority when a notice to vacate, or eviction has been is-sued. Housing assistance may be terminated in cases of eviction.

Federal regulations define basic Housing Quality Standards (HQS) that an assisted housing unit must meet before it can be rented under the Housing Choice voucher program and become eligible for Housing Assistance Payment (HAP). HQS requires a PHA to “inspect the unit leased to a family prior to the initial term of the lease, at least annually during assisted occupancy, and at other times as needed, to determine if the unit meets the HQS.” According to CFR 982.404, “The owner must maintain the unit in accord-ance with HQS. If the owner fails to maintain the dwelling unit in accordance with HQS, the PHA must take prompt and vigorous action to enforce the owner of obligations. PHA remedies for such breach of the HQS include termination, suspension or reduction of housing assistance payments and termination of the HAP contract[…..]. The owner is not responsible for a breach of the HQS that is not caused by the owner, and for which the family is responsible.” Family caused HQS breaches may lead to termination of assistance to the family.

Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program— The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Homeownership program is used to aide current rental assistance program participants to purchase a home of their own by using their voucher. Family Self-Sufficiency— The Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program is a United States Department of Housing and Ur-ban Development (HUD) designed program to provide participants receiving Housing choice voucher Program assistance in becoming self-sufficient and independent of public assistance. The program serves families who volunteer to participate by providing case management and referrals to community supportive services. Welfare-to-Work— Federal and State welfare reform efforts have created the Welfare-to-Work (WORK) pro-gram. This program offers participants a way to achieve self-sufficiency that often leads to homeownership. These participants are often accepted into our Family Self Sufficiency program which sets guidelines to help individuals meet these goals.

The Prince William County Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) is respon-sible for administering the Prince William Area’s (Prince William County, cities of Manassas and Manassas Park) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) annual allocation. The Neighbor-hood Housing Rehabilitation Program is one of several CDBG supported initiatives administered by OHCD, and is available in these jurisdictions to eligible households as described below.

Examples of eligible activities include: Installation of indoor plumbing Repair and/or replacement of roof Accessibility improvements (wheel Chair ramps, kitchens, baths) Energy improvements (heating systems, doors, windows, insulation) Site improvements Foundation corrections

The program allows for all repairs to correct health and safety violations in order to make the property meet HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (HQS).

Gross household income must be at or below 80% of the area median income, adjusted for family size. OHCD can provide you with the income table. Households with incomes at or below 50% of area median income will receive priority in being assisted.

Recipients shall be the owner of record or have a 99 year leasehold interest in the property which is to be improved, and shall maintain that property as their primary residence. The property owner must provide a copy of the certified deed to the property to document ownership.

The amount of assistance provided for rehabilitation will be secured by a deferred deed of trust on the property. The trust will not be due and payable un-til the property ceases to be the principal residence, is sold, or the borrower fails or neglects to pay the taxes, assessments, premiums for hazard, flood (if re-quired), mortgage insurance, or terms of the deed of trust are violated.

The owner, contractor, and the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD) will enter into a contract for the work to be completed. The County, with funds provided by the CDBG program and with the owners written consent, shall pay the contractor for performance of work. OHCD will serve as funds disbursement agent on behalf of the owner, authorizing payments under the contract to the contractor.

OHCD staff will assess eligibility of the owner and property, complete work write-up, assist owner with contractor selection, inspect work, process funds disbursement on behalf of the owner, and serve as a liaison between contractor and property owner.

Rental Rehabilitation Program

The purpose of the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program is to provide owners of affordable rental housing in Prince William County with a financial tool to improve the safety, integrity, accessibility, and curbside appeal of their property. The intent of the subsidy is to reduce the rehabilitation cost of substandard rental units to a level that can support affordable rents. An additional goal of the program is to help improve the surrounding neighborhood and preserve the affordable housing stock for low and moderate-income (LMI) households. The program provides zero-interest, deferred loans to rental property owners to make improvements to their property. The property owner agrees to make units available to low and moderate income renters with restricted rents for a specified period of affordability, between 5-20 years based upon loan amounts and number of units. Repayment of the loan in full is required upon sale, refinancing, non-compliance with funding requirements or foreclosure before the end of the period of affordability along with penalties.

A Rental Rehabilitation Contract between the property owner and the County will be executed upon approval of the project. The Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program assistance will be secured by a Promissory Note, Deed of Trust and Deed of Easement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for the applicable period of affordability. If a no interest, deferred period loan is approved, the owner will not make periodic payments, nor will interest accrue. However, a lump sum payment equal to the amortized amount of the loan will be due upon the owner’s failure to comply with the terms of the Rental Rehabilitation Contract. In the event an owner re-finances the debt on a rental rehabilitation project after the completion of the project and after the Rental Rehabilitation Deed of Trust has been recorded, the County will not subordinate its interest in the property. However, County will consider entering into a subordination agreement to prevent foreclosure on the property and subsequent loss of the property to the affordable rental market. The owner may sell the property assisted under the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program provided the subsequent owner agrees to the terms of the Rental Rehabilitation Contract, Deed of Trust, Promissory Note and Deed with Restrictive Covenants. The County shall approve the sale of the property and the assumption of the Promissory Note, provided the new owner is qualified to manage the rental property and agrees to the terms of the Rental Rehabilitation Contract. In the event the new owner does not agree to the terms the principal amount of the loan will become due at sale however the affordability provisions contained in the Deed with Restrictive Covenants running with the land will remain in force even if the property is sold and/or the loan is repaid to the expiration of the affordability period

Required Legal Agreements

30

To be eligible every Rental Rehabilitation assisted unit must need a minimum of $2,000 in rehabilitation to correct HQS deficiencies. The minimum threshold prevents assistance to properties that need only superficial improvements. A unit is defined as anything in which a household can reside, ranging from a single-room occupancy hotel unit, to a single family home, to a three-bedroom apartment. If multiple households share a single-family house, the house is counted as one unit. The maximum per unit subsidy is very generous. The per unit subsidy cannot exceed the FHA Section 221(d)(4) limits as established by HUD.

The terms of the amount of assistance are based upon the total dollar amount of assistance and the type of unit assisted.

In the event the Loan becomes due before the end of the deferred loan period of affordability the principal loan amount would become due but the Deed with Restrictive Covenants running with the land will remain in force until the period of affordability has expired. At the end of the loan term, the no interest deferred payment loan will be forgiven. No payment will be required as long as the loan terms of the contract are satisfied.

Affordable Rent Limits

Funds can only be used on Projects when there is a period of affordability. The affordability of the unit is based upon Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Rent Limits based upon unit size. The Affordable Rent Limits are established by HUD and adjusted annually. In projects where housing is occupied prior to application, the rents charged after rehab to existing tenants cannot exceed the greater of the prior rent or 30% of the tenant’s income. For new tenants the rent cannot exceed the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Rent Limits based upon unit size. If the tenant pays utilities, the maximum allowable rent is reduced using the HUD Section 8 Existing Housing Allowance for Tenant-Furnished Utilities. Rents may be adjusted at the annual anniversary of a rehabilitated unit’s initial lease. OHCD must review and approve all increases in rent based on changes in the Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Rent Limits as published by HUD. The owner is responsible for requesting an annual increase in rent. If the unit is occupied no rent increase may take effect until the owner has given the tenant a thirty day notice of rent increase. In exchange for the low-interest financing from the County, the owner agrees to restrictions on rent and tenant incomes to ensure affordability for an extended time period. The minimum affordability period is 5 years with the maximum 20 years based upon dollars per unit and type of units. The affordability provision is secured by a Deed of Easement and Declaration of Restrictive Covenants running with the land that remains in force even if the property is sold and/or the loan is repaid to the expiration of the affordability period.

All inquires can either contact the Community Preservation and Development Division of the Office of Housing and Community Development at 703-792-7532 or go to our website at www.pwcgov.org/housing for information on the program along with the application.

OHCD staff will assess eligibility of tenants and property, complete work write-up, assist owner with contractor selection, inspect work, make funds disbursement on behalf of the owner, and serve as a liaison between contractor and owner.
