2016 HOME Rent Approvals Due 

Multifamily HOME funded projects still in their affordability period are required to submit an Annual Rent Approval Form. The 2013 HOME Final Rule is an amendment to 24CFR 92.252(f)(2), which requires that a Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) review and approve rents for each HOME-assisted project annually to ensure that the project complies with the HOME rent limits, and to prevent undue increases that would result in a hardship for the residents. For 2016, all HOME funded multifamily projects still in their affordability period are required to submit an Annual Rent Approval Form by Friday, July 8, 2016.  

The HUD published HOME Rent Limits have an effective release date of June 6, 2016, which is available on HUD's website.  

Failure to submit the form by 5 p.m. on Friday, July 8, 2016, could result in a finding and/or being placed on KHC's Suspension and Debarment List. For questions or help completing the form, please contact Carlisha McKissic-Roberts at 859-595-5828 or Lisa Russelburg at 270-860-1588.
