Department of Housing and Urban Development Issues Revised Temporary Rent Exception Rules for People with Disabilities
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has released updated guidelines allowing Public Housing Agencies (PHA) to approve “exception” rents for housing leased by people with disabilities in the Housing Choice Voucher program. The exception will be 120 percent of the Fair Market Rent and allows people to rent in the private housing market. This policy is temporary until March 31, 2014, and the PHA must email HUD that it is adopting the 120 percent policy.
