May 10, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Blake Rosser, Executive Director <br />Orange County Housing Authority (NC104) <br /> <br /> <br />Dear Executive Director: <br /> <br /> I am pleased to notify you that your public housing agency (PHA) is eligible <br />for new Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHVs) and funding as authorized by the American <br />Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law No: 117-2). The American Rescue Plan Act allowed the <br />Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to allocate additional vouchers to PHAs <br />through an allocation formula designed to direct emergency vouchers to the PHAs operating in <br />areas where the EHV’s eligible populations have the greatest need while also taking into account <br />PHA capacity and the requirement to ensure geographic diversity, including rural areas. The <br />EHVs are provided to help assist individuals and families who are (1) homeless, (2) at risk of <br />homelessness, (3) fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual <br />assault, stalking, or human trafficking, or (4) recently homeless. <br /> <br /> The following table provides the details for your agency’s EHV award: <br />Emergency Housing Vouchers Award <br />Initial Award Amount Effective Date Contract <br />Term Number of Units <br />$148,404 7/1/2021 18 19 <br /> <br /> The effective date of your EHV award will be July 1, 2021 with the exception of certain <br />fees with an effective date of June 1, 2021 as detailed below. These dates cannot be changed. <br />HUD is providing 12 months of budget authority upfront and will provide additional budget <br />authority as necessary based upon actual PHA needs. Once funding for the award has been fully <br />processed, the FMC will provide your agency with an amended Consolidated Annual <br />Contributions Contract (CACC) that reflects the obligation of funds and monthly disbursements <br />will be scheduled. Three months of HAP disbursements will automatically be scheduled <br />beginning July 1, 2021 equal to 1/12th of the initial award. Future disbursements will be <br />calculated using actual HAP expenses incurred. <br /> <br />Your agency must follow applicable Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program <br />requirements, when administering EHV, including the regulations at 24 CFR part 982, and the <br />requirements in Notice PIH 2021-15 (HA), referred to hereafter as Implementation Notice. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
