Evidence that estimate of Fair Market Value was disclosed to seller prior to execution of option or contract.

  6. Community Planning and DevelopmentURA Relocation Checklist Review (Exhibit 7) • The Uniform Act also covers the permanent and involuntary displacement, or temporary relocation, of both residential and non-residential occupants. 49 CFR Part 24, Subpart C and HUD Handbook 1378, Chapter 3 • Acquisition by a Nonprofit of a tenant-occupied property (nonresidential or residential) can cause the tenant-occupant to qualify for assistance as a “displaced person.” • (NOTE: An owner-occupant who sells his/her property voluntarily is not considered a “displaced person.”) • Under the URA, a displaced residential tenant is entitled to advisory services, moving assistance, and in some cases, a replacement housing assistance payment. • A nonresidential tenant is entitled to advisory services, move assistance, and if they continue to operate at their new location, a reestablishment payment.

  7. Community Planning and DevelopmentURA Relocation Checklist Review (Exhibit 7) • To ensure compliance with the relocation requirements of the URA, sponsors are required to submit a statement (Exhibit 7) that: • If applicable, indicates that no relocation will occur and why • (e.g., property is vacant land, or property was unoccupied and • no persons were made to move for the project). • or (if relocation will occur) • Identifies all persons (families, individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations) by race/minority group, and status as owners or tenants occupying the property on the date of submission of the application for a capital advance, • Indicates the estimated cost of relocation payments and other services,

  9. Community Planning and DevelopmentURA Relocation Checklist Review (Exhibit 7) • Sponsors are required to submit A STATEMENT to address Exhibit 7 requirements. • Sponsors are reminded that A STATEMENT is required. • The phrase N/A (for “not applicable“) is not a statement. • To clarify, a statement is required to address Exhibit 7, not “N/A.” • NOTE: If any of the relocation costs will be funded from sources other than the Section 202 capital advance (Section 811 capital advance), you must provide evidence of a firm commitment of these funds. • When evaluating applications, HUD will consider the total cost of proposals (i.e., cost of the acquisition, relocation, construction and other project costs.)

  10. Community Planning and DevelopmentConsolidated Plan Certification (Exhibit 8(e)) • Sponsors are required to submit Form HUD–2991, Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan (Exhibit 8(e)), for the jurisdiction in which the proposed project will be located. • The certification must be made by the unit of general local government if it is required to have, or has, a complete Plan. • Otherwise, the certification may be made by the State, or by the unit of general local government if the project will be located within the jurisdiction of the unit of general local government authorized to use an abbreviated strategy, and if it is willing to prepare such a Plan. • All certifications must be made (signed) by the “certifying official” (the public official responsible for submitting the Consolidated Plan to HUD). • The certifications must be submitted as part of the application by the application submission deadline date set forth in the program section of the NOFA.

  13. Readiness & Common Mistakes

  14. Re-cap on Readiness Criteria • Points awarded under rating factor 3k (202) and 3j (811) give competitive advantage to projects that are ready to start construction in a timely manner upon receipt of a fund reservation. • Tasks to complete before application submission: • Secure discretionary approvals leading up to a building permit if required • Prepare schematic design • Prepare a budget of sources and uses • Confirm that utilities are available to the site • Consider timeliness of environmental mitigation if required

  15. Common Mistakes Failure to read the General Section and the Program NOFA THOROUGHLY. Failure to obtain a DUNS No. & Register early. If HUD waiver given to submit paper appl., submitting less than original + 4 copies.

  16. Common Mistakes Submitting an application and you do not have the appropriate IRS tax exemption because the IRS is still processing your request. Submitting an application and you have no organizational experience

  17. Common Mistakes Failure to submit the electronic application in accordance with the requirements detailed in the General Section Failure to submit all of the required exhibits

  18. Common Mistakes Failure to properly label faxed and/or scanned exhibits Not using the compatible version of Adobe Reader Not allowing for sufficient time to electronically submit your application

  19. Common Mistakes You have outstanding delinquent Federal debt with no approved workout plan for repayment prior to deadline. Failure to submit your appl. to State Point of Contact (SPOC), if required, by deadline date.

  20. Common Mistakes • Failure to meet appl. deadline. • Failure to submit a Phase I (no substitutions) completed within last 6 mths for 202s and 811s with site control. • Your appl. will be rejected if a 202 or downgraded to site identified if an 811.

  21. Common Mistakes • For previous fund reservations that went to initial closing after 24, 36 or 48 months: • Reasons were not provided for delay • No indication as to why amendment $ was needed

  22. Common Mistakes For 202, failure to have site control or site does not meet HUD site and neighborhood standards. (24 CFR 891.125) For 202s and 811s with site control, the site control failed to meet minimum requirements (e.g., no reverters, etc., option must extend beyond 6 months from appl. deadline and be renewable)

  23. Common Mistakes Proposing a 202 scattered site project with less than 5 units per site. Site not properly zoned and no indication of likelihood that zoning will be changed

  24. Common Mistakes • For an 811, proposing a group home exceeding 6 residents • Requesting more units than allocated to the applicable HUD Office. • For 202, this applies to metro and non-metro categories separately
