| Apr 30, 2025 10:26 AM | Where can we find the Additional Requirements for applicant agencies that plan to provide rent assistance to clients residing at properties owned by the applicant agency? | Rental Assistance cannot be provided to properties which the applicant owns or financially benefits from unless a third party determines that the rent established in the lease is reasonable, completes the habitability assessment, and approves the amount of rental assistance provided by the project. The third party would need to be an entity which does not have a financial benefit from the rental costs being assessed. For example, the recipient could contract with an other entity to complete the rent responsibility and habitability, but that entity wouldn't benefit from the rental payment made on behalf of those assessments. |
