RENTA A ISTANCE
Exhibit "DK
HUD"s Building HOME Manual Chapter 7 TBRA
HOME permits participating jurisdictions P Js to create flexible
programs that provide assistance to individual households to enable
therm to rent market -rate units. These programs are known as
"tenant -based rental assistance," or TBRA. This chapter highlights
eligible TBRA households and units, eligible types and levels of
subsidy, options for establishing a TBRA program, and key issues for
design and administration of a TBRA program.
NOTES
PART I: HOME PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS
WHAT IS TENANT -BASED RENTAL
ASSISTANCE?
• Tenant -based rental assistance (TBRA) is a rental subsidy that
PJs can use to help individual households afford housing costs
such as rent and security deposits. Ns may also assist tenants
with utility deposits but only when HOME is also used for rental
assistance or security deposits.
• Types: There are many types of TBRA programs.
The most common type provides payments to make up the
difference between the amount a household can afford to
pay for housing and local rent standards.
The Section 8 Voucher Program is an example of a
typical TBRA program.
Other TBRA programs help tenants pay for costs associated
with their housing, such as security and utility deposits.
(However, under the HOME Program, utility deposit
assistance can only be provided in conjunction with rental
assistance programs or security deposit programs.)
• How TBRA differs: HOME TBRA programs differ from other
types of HOME rental housing activities in three key ways:

Exhibit 11D'1
HUD's Building HOME Manual Chapter 7 TBRA
CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL TAL ASSISTANCE
NOTES
• TBRA programs help individual households (rather than
subsidizing particular rental projects). -
• TBRA assistance moves with the tenant -- if the household
no longer wishes to rent a particular unit, the household may
take its TBRA and move to another rental property.
• The level of TBRA subsidy varies -- the level of subsidy is
based upon the income of the household, the particular unit
the household selects, and the PJ's rent standard (rather
than being tied to the P,J's high and low HOME rents).
WHY CREATE A TBRA PROGRAM?
• Ns have developed TBRA programs for a wide variety of
reasons to serve a wide range of functions.
• Some of the most common advantages of establishing a TBRA
program are noted below.
Flexibility for Households
• TBRA programs offer a household the opportunity to choose its
neighborhood (including the school district) as well as its type of
housing (such as a single-family home, large apartment
building, duplex, garden -style unit, etc.).
If the household needs to change location, the household may
take the TBRA assistance along when it moves to another rental
unit.
• t the discretion of the PJ, the TBRA may be used outside of
the P's jurisdiction.
Flexibility for Pig
• TBRA programs offer jurisdictions a way to meet fluctuating
demand for housing. A PJ may elect to provide TBRA
assistance to as many or as few households as it chooses,
subject to its HOME budget and consistent with its Consolidated
Plan.
• Also; F Js may design specialized TBRA programs tailored to
the distinctive housing needs of the community. This includes
programs designed specifically for persons with special needs.

CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
NOTES
Cost -Effectiveness
• In communities where large public subsidies are needed to spur
the new construction or rehabilitation of units, TBRA may be
less expensive than using HOME for rehabilitation or new
construction.
• TBRA may be particularly effective in communities with high
vacancy rates, where the PJ wants to rnake units affordable, but
does not want to finance the development of additional units.
Risk Avoidance
• Financing the construction or rehabilitation of housing is
inherently risky. Owners and developers can (and sometimes
do) default on their financing, sending projects into foreclosure
and putting at risk the Nis investment.
• Since TBRA programs are tenant -based, the PJ can terminate
the assistance if the tenant fails to meet program requirements.
• TBRA poses no Tong -term financial obligation to the PJ.
Relocation and Dis•lacement Assistance
• PJs may use TBRA. to
assist households
displaced by HOME
projects, facilitating the
rehabilitation of occupied
units.
One Exception: Relocation tion Assistance
Ns are not allowed to require households
who receive TBRA as relocation
assistance to participate in self-sufficiency
programs.
ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES
Rental Assistance Programs
• The HOME rules are flexible regarding the types of TBRA
programs that may be developed by PJs.
• HOME TBRA programs may be designed to serve the
general objective of making housing more affordable for a
wide range of low-income households within the jurisdiction.
• PJs may want to create a TBRA program that serves the
entire community in response to a high level of rent burden
and/or a long Section 8 waiting list.

cHTEI : TENT -BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
NOTES
Alternately, TBRA programs may focus on a special purpose
or specific housing need. Options for special purpose
programs are also described below,
• Self-sufficiency programs: Pis may require HOME TBRA
recipients to participate in self-sufficiency programs as a
condition of rental assistance.
• For example, the PJ may operate a "bootstrap program" that
provides TBRA to low-income a persons who are attending job
training.
• Homebuyer programs: HOME TBRA may assist a tenant who
has been identified as a potential low-income homebuyer under
a lease -purchase program. The PJ may provide HOME TBRA
to these homebuyers until the purchase is completed.
• The HOME TBRA payment must be used for monthly rental
and/or utility expenses. This means that HOME funded
TBRA may not be used to create equity in the unit on behalf
of the homebuyer. However, all or a portion of payments
made by the homebuyer may be used to build such equity.
• When the homebuyer is ready to purchase the unit,. HOME
funds may also be used for downpayment assistance.
• Targeted po.pulatlns programs: The PJ may establish local
preferences for special -needs groups within its broad,
community -wide program, or it may design a specific program
that exclusively serves one or more special needs groups.
• Examples of such special needs groups may include:
Homeless persons;
V Persons with disabilities; or
Persons with AIDS.
• If TBRA is provided exclusively to persons with a particular
type of special need, the need must be identified in the Ns
Consolidated Plan as an unmet need and the preference
must be needed to fill the gap in benefits and services
available to such persons.

may remain in the project or move to another

Security Deposit Programs
The PJ may establish a program that limits assistance to help
tenants with security deposits.
• The term "security deposit" is defined by the local or state
tenant -landlord law covering the jurisdiction.
• The maximum amount of HOME funds that may be provided
for the security
deposit is the Utility Deposit Assistance
equivalent of two
months' rent for
the unit.
• Only the tenant
(notthe landlord)
may apply for
security deposit
assistance.
Utility deposit assistance must be provided in
conjunction with .a TBRA security deposit or
monthly assistance program. In addition,
utility deposit assistance may be used only
for utilities permitted under the Section
utility allowance. This includes electric, gas,
water and trash, but does not include
telephone and cable television.
• The lease between the landlord and tenant may not contain
certain prohibited lease provisions (see "Lease
Requirements" later in this chapter) and must be in effect for
at least one year.
• The security deposit may be paid to the tenant or directly to
the landlord.
• The security deposit may be made as a grant or a loan. If
the deposit is a loan, the terms of that loan, including
provisions for repayment, should be set out in a written
agreement between the PJ and the tenant.
Ineligible Program Activities
Despite the flexibility the HOME Program provides for TBRA,
there are a number of program activities that are ineligible for
HOME TBRA assistance.

NOTES
• TBRA may not be used to assist a resident owner of
cooperative or mutual housing unit when that resident is
recognized by state law as a homeowner.
1 However, under the provisions of some cooperative or
mutual housing agreements, the units are considered
rental housing under state law. The residents of this
rental housing may receive TBRA.
1 Under any circumstance, a tenant who rents from an
owner of a cooperative or mutual housing unit may
receive HOME TBRA.
• HOME TBRA r not be used to prevent the displacement
of tenants from projects assisted with Rental Rehabilitation
Program funds.
• Ns may not provide HOME TBRA to homeless persons for
overnight or temporary shelter.
• HOME TBRA may not duplicate existing rental assistance
programs that already reduce the tenant's rent payment to
30 percent of income. For example, .if the household is
already receiving assistance under the Section 8 Program,
the household may not also receive assistance under a
HOME TBRA program.
ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS/BENEFIC1ARIES
Income Eligibility Requirements
e Key rules: There are two key rules regarding eligible income of
households under a HOME TBRA program:
Low-income: HOME TBRA is limited to tenants who are at or
below the HUD low-income limit. The low-income limit is
defined as 80 percent or below of area median income.
HUD establishes and periodically publishes this income limit
by family size for each jurisdiction.
• Funding allocation: For each fiscal year allocation, at least
90 percent of the families assisted through HOME TBRA
and the households occupying assisted units in HOME
rental developments (taken together) must be at or below 60
percent of area median income. This means that although
the program permits assistance to households with incomes
of up to 80 percent of median, the PJ wilt only be able to
serve a limited number of households whose incomes are
between 60 percent and 80 percent of median.

CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL TAL ASSISTANCE
NOTES
• Timing: The PJ needs to assure that the applicant is income -
eligible prior to signing a contract for TBRA for the household,
• Family income: For initial eligibility purposes, family income
under HOME -funded TBRA programs may be calculated using
one of the three definitions of annual income. (See Chapter 2:
General Program Rules. for information on the three definitions.)
The Program Administrator must determine annual income
by reviewing source documents evidencing annual income
(for example, wage statement, interest statement,
unemployment ment compensation) for the family.
V Income determinations for new TBRA recipients are
valid for six months.
v Eligibility criteria must be met regardless of the type of
TBRA program operated by the PJ (for example, anti -
displacement, security deposit, special needs, etc.).
TENANT SELECTION REQUIREMENTS
Overview
• Pis administering HOME -funded TBRA programs must have a
written tenant selection policy that clearly specifies how families
will be selected for participation in their programs. There are
two major components of tenant selection -- income eligibility
and preferences. Both are discussed below.
income eligibility: As discussed previously in this chapter,
households who receive HOME -funded TBRA must have an
annual income that does not exceed 80 percent of the area
median income.
Preferences: PJs can use HOME -funded TBRA programs
to support a variety of local goals and initiatives. In fact, with
the repeal of the Federal preferences in the 1999
Appropriations Act, PJs have more discretion than ever
concerning tenant selection in their TBRA programs.
Preferences are discussed in more detail below.
Establishing Preferences
• General community -wide program: A community -wide
program can address the general need for affordable housing
by giving more "buying power" to eligible low-income
e
households. Within a community -wide program, the PJ may
elect to:

NOTES
Select households from the public housing authority's (PHA)
Section 8 waiting list, using the PHA preference criteria; or
• Establish its own preferences and waiting list (see below),
• Community -wide programs with preferences: Through the
use of local preferences, PJs can target funds to meet specific
needs or serve specific purposes.
• Residenc •reference: The PJ may opt to establish a
residency preference as part of its community -wide program.
A residency preference requires TBRA participants to be
residents of the PJ.
1 PJs may establish a residency preference as long as
the application of the preference does not have the
effect of discriminating on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, national origin, handicap or familial status.
The PJ's definition of "resident" must include persons
who currently reside in the jurisdiction, and those who
are currently working or have a bonafide job offer in the
jurisdiction.
PJs may not establish a requirement for minimum
length of residency,
• Disabilities preference: PJs may establish local preferences
for all persons with disabilities within a broad, community -
wide TBRA program. A PJ may also target its TBRA
program to persons with a particular type of disability (see
below) .
• Self-sufficiency 'program: As discussed earlier in this
chapter, Ps may require HOME TBRA recipients to
participate in self-sufficiency programs as a condition of
assistance. However, tenants living in a HOME -assisted
project who receive TBRA as relocation assistance may not
be required to participate in self-sufficiency programs.
Targeted programs: As discussed previously in this chapter,
PJs are permitted to design local selection criteria that meet the
housing needs of specific populations. Below are several
examples of targeted TBRA programs.
• Preferences for'Persons with disabilities: PJs may establish
a preference for individuals with mental or physical
disabilities.

Generally, TBRA and related services should be made
available to all persons with disabilities that can benefit
from such services (see above).
PJs may also provide a preference for a specific
category of individuals with disabilities (for example,
persons with AIDS or chronic mental illness) if the
specific category is identified in the PJ's Consolidated
Plan as having unmet needs, and if the preference is
needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services
received by such persons.
Preferences may not be administered in a manner that
limits the opportunities of persons in a protected class.
For example, a person given a preference under the
TBRA program may not be prohibited from applying for
or participating in other available programs or forms of
assistance.
Preferences for persons with other special needs: PJs may
establish a preference for individuals with special needs.
TBRA may be provided exclusively to persons with a
particular type of special need, if the specific category of
need is identified in the PJ's Consolidated Plan as
having unmet need and the preferences is necessary to
bridge, the gap in benefits and services received by
such persons. Examples include the elderly and
battered spouses.
As with a general TBRA program, , appropriate, non -
mandatory social services may be provided in
conjunction with the TBRA.
As stated previously, PJs may require HOME TBRA
recipients to participate in self-sufficiency programs as a
condition of assistance. However, tenants living in a
HOME -assisted project who receive TBRA s relocation
assistance may not be required to participate in self-
sufficiency programs.
ELIGIBLE TBRA UNITS
• The HOME TBRA program offers households great flexibility in
selecting a housing unit. Households must be free to select the
unit of their choice.
Public r_privt: Units under the TBRA program may be
publicly- or privately -owned.

CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL L ASSISTANCE
Rents must be reasonable: PJs must disapprove a lease if
the PJ determines the rent is not reasonable, based on rents
that are charged for comparable unassisted rental units.
HOME -funded units are OK: Households may select units
developed or rehabilitated with HOME assistance.
However, the P, may not require the household to select a
HOME unit as a condition of receiving TBRA.
In addition, PJs may not require TBRA-assisted
households to remain in units developed/rehabilitated
under HOME. Households must be permitted to move
out at the end of the lease term, taking their TBRA
assistance with them.
Portability is an option: Pis may require eligible TBRA
participants to use their TBRA assistance in units within the
jurisdiction, or permit TBRA assistance to be used to rent
units in other jurisdictions,
PROPERTY AND OCCUPANCY
STANDARDS
Section 8 HQS
Although the Final Rule permits flexibility with regard to the
property standards used for HOME -assisted acquisition and
development projects, the Section 8 Housing Quality Standards
(HOS) must be used for HOME TBRA activities.
PJs may request waivers from HUD to permit HQS
variations for local climatic or geologic conditions, or to
create consistency with local codes.
Inspections to verify compliance with HQS and occupancy
standards are made both at initial move -in and annually
during the term of the TBRA assistance.
Occupancy Standard
Program administrators must
develop local occupancy
standards that specify the
number of bedrooms needed
by households of various
sizes and composition.
Further guidance on HUD
occupancy standards can_ be
found in a Federal Register Notice
from December 1998 F -44 -[ -

• Eligible unit size: The occupancy standards are used to
provide consistent criteria for determining the unit size for which
the household is eligible.
• When the household is selected for the HOME TBRA
program, the PJ should counsel the household about the
unit size for which the household is eligible.
v' If the household will be permitted to select a unit that is
larger or smaller than the eligible unit size, the PJ
should explain the impact of this choice on the tenant's
payment.
The PJ may refer the household to appropriate units,
but may not require the household to select the referral
unit.
Lease Re • uirements
• Term: The term of the lease between the tenant and the owner
must be at least one year, unless both agree otherwise.
• What the lease may not say: The lease may not contain the
following provisions:
• Agreement by the tenant to be sued or to admit guilt, or a
judgment in favor of the owner in a lawsuit brought in
connection with the lease;
• Agreement by the tenant that the owner may take, hold or
sell the personal property of household members without
notice to the tenant and a court decision on the rights of the
parties (this does not apply to personal property left by the
tenant after move -out);
• Agreement by the tenant not to hold the owner or its agents
legally responsible for any action or failure to act, whether
intentional or negligent;
• Agreement by the tenant that the owner may institute a
lawsuit without notice to the tenant;
• Agreement that the owner may evict the tenant (or other
household members) without a civil court proceeding where
the tenant has the right to present a defense, or before a
court decision on the rights of the tenant and the owner;

• Agreement by the tenant to waive a trial by jury;
• Agreement by the tenant to waive the tenant's right to
appeal or otherwise challenge a court decision; or
Agreement by the tenant to pay attorney fees or other legal
costs, even if the tenant wins in court.
Termination: The PJ
must establish
standards for when a
landlord may elect to
terminate or refuse to
renew the lease of a
TBRA household. These standards must be inwriting. They
must also be included within the lease and/or in the contract
between the PJ and the tenant.
Notice of Termination
The requirement for 30 days' notice of
refusal to renew or termination of tenancy
that is required of HOME -funded rental
projects does not apply to TBRA.
PARAMETERS OF ASSISTANCE
• PJs are given significant flexibility in modeling the local method
of providing TBRA assistance.
• However, HOME program rules do impose some basic
parameters on the level of household and PJ payment, and the
length of time for a single TBRA contract with a household.
• In addition, the HOME program requires that the PJ establish
certain standards for the cost of the unit.
Minimum and Maximum Payment
• The HOME program rules establish a maximum TBRA
assistance payment and require the PJ to establish a minimum
tenant payment.
• Minimum tenant payment: The PJ may use its discretion in
setting this minimum payment level. The minimum payment
may be established at a dollar figure (such as $50) or at a
percentage of income (such as 10 percent of monthly
income).
• Maximum imur TBRA payment: The maximum amount that the
HOME TBRA program may pay to assist any given
household is the difference between 30 percent of the
households adjusted .monthly income (see Chapter 2:
General Program Rules for more information about income
definitions) and a jurisdiction -wide rent limit established by
the PJ (known as the payment (rent) standard).

CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL T L ASSISTANCE
NOTES
Length of TBRA Assistance
• HOME TBRA rental assistance contracts with individual
households may not exceed two years. Contracts can be
renewed, subject to availability of HOME funds.
• The two-year period begins on the first day of the lease and will
end upon termination of the lease (if the TBRA payment is made
directly to the landlord).
• Rental assistance contracts may be shorter than two years. For
example, if TBRA is used in conjunction with a self-sufficiency
program, a PJ may want to have a shorter contract term of 18
months.
• In circumstances where the payment is made directly to the
tenant, the TBRA payment ends when a lease is terminated.
However, payments can begin again once the household enters
into a new lease.
Program Models
• Within the broad HOME Program parameters, Ns are free to
design their own individual TBRA program models. Many
jurisdictions have elected to model their TBRA program nriodels
on either the Section 8 Certificate or the Section 8 Voucher
programs. Other PJs have developed unique program designs
based upon the special needs of their communities.
• Section 8 Certificate Program model: Under a TBRA
program modeled after •the Section 8 Certificate Program,
(which was recently combined with. the Section 8 Voucher
program), tenants pay 30 percent of their monthly adjusted
income toward rent. The TBRA assistance then makes up the
gap between the tenant's payment and the actual rent plus
utilities for the tenant's unit.
➢ The rent and utilities of the unit selected by the household
may not exceed the PJ's payment (rent) standard.
• Section 8 Voucher Program model: Under a TBRA program
modeled after the Section 8 Voucher Program, the PJ calculates
the difference between 30 percent of the household's monthly
adjusted income and the payment (rent) standard. This gap is
then the constant amount of the monthly TBRA assistance. The
household is free to select an actual unit that costs more or less
than the PJ's payment (rent) standard.
Unit costin more: If the household selects a unit costing
more than the payment (rent) standard, the household's

CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
NOTES
monthly payment will exceed 30 percent of its monthly
adjusted income.
Unit costing less: If the household selects a unit costing
less than the payment (rent) standard, the household's
monthly payment will be less than 30 percent of its monthly
adjusted income.
• Regardless of whether the unit costs are more or less than the
payment (rent) standard, the monthly TBRA to the household
remains fixed at the gap between what it can afford and the
payment (rent) standard, regardless of the actual unit selected.
• Individualized program models: As stated, some PJs may
decide to design an altogether new program. The most
compelling reasons for electing to design a new program would
be a PJ's desire to administer a security deposit -only program
or a specialized program which addresses a special needs
group. Within the general HOME TBRA rules, the PJ may
decide how it wishes to establish limits for these types of
programs.
Payment (Rent standard
• As noted above, all P, s administering a TBRA program must
establish a payment (rent) standard.
• Characteristics: This payment (rent) standard should
represent the rent plus utility cost of moderately priced units that
meet HUD HQS in the jurisdiction. The payment (rent) standard
is established by bedroom size.
• The payment (rent) standard is similar to the Fair Market
Rent (FMR) that is established by HUD for the Section
program.
• The FMR is established by HUD for individual jurisdictions,
based upon the rent for standard units within that
jurisdiction.
• The FMR is set at the 40th percentile of these rents (that is,
just below the median rent for standard units within the
community).
• In certain cases, HUD has approved a Section 8 FMR
community -wide exception rent for a particular municipality,
county or locality within the overall ju.risdiction.
• This approval permits rents under the Section 8 Program to
go as high as 120 percent of the FMR for the jurisdiction
overall.
Building HOME
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Exhibit "D'!
HUD's Building HOME Manual Chapter 7 TBRA
CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
HUD publishes the FMR in the Federal Register by bedroom
size for each jurisdiction. The FMR is updated annually.
• Establishing the payment (rent) standard: PJs are given
several options for establishing the payment (rent) standard --
including using the FMR as a basis. The PI may develop the
payment (rent) standard using one of two methods.
First method: The PJ may develop a payment (rent)
standard based on local market conditions.
Example: The published section 8 FMR for a two -bedroom
unit is $500, but the RI has analyzed the market and
established that a reasonable price for a two -bedroom unit is
$520, given the local market conditions and location. In this
instance, the payment (rent) standard may be the $520.
• Second method: If the PJ does not establish its own
payment (rent) standard, then the HOME payment (rent)
standards must be based upon the Section 8 FMRs. The
payment (rent) standard must not be less than 80 percent of
the published FMRs, and not more than the FMR or area -
wide exception rent.
Example; The published FMR for a two -bedroom unit is
$500, and HUD has approved a six percent community -wide
e cep tion rent of $530. The payment (rent) standard
established by the RI could be anywhere between $400 0
percent of $ 0 and $530.
Administering the payment (rent) standard: Once
established the payment (rent) standard remains constant for all
units for the PJ s entire program year. However, HUD does
permit the PJ to have some flexibility in the administration of this
payment (rent) standard.
• Unit -specific: For up to 20 percent of the units under its
TBRA program, the PJ may approve a unit -specific payment
(rent) standard. This unit -specific payment (rent) standard
may be up to 10 percent above the payment (rent) standard
established for all units.
Example: A PJ that has 200 T R -assisted families could
approve up to 40 unit -specific payment (rent) standards. if
the established payment (rent) standard for the PJ is $400,
these 40 units may each have a unit -specific payment (rent)
standard of anywhere between $400 and $440,
• Although the HOME regulation does not specify the reasons
for approving this unit -specific payment (rent) standard
exception, a typical use of the exception authority is to:

the local market et (for example, units with a large number
f bedrooms rent for more than the published FMR); or
I Obtain units adapted for handicapped residents or large
families that are hard to place.
• Deciding the payment (rent) standard amount: To decide the
amount of the payment (rent) standard, the PJ should compare
the FMR to the actual cost (including utilities) of housing in the
area.
• If the FMRs are high relative to the actual cost, the PJ
should consider setting the payment (rent) standard at a
lower amount.
> If the FMR seems appropriate, the PJ should set the
payment (rent) standard at the FMR.
• If the FMR is low relative to the actual cost of housing, the
PJ may want to develop the documentation needed to
establish its own payment (rent) standard based upon the
market.
Ongoing Responsibilities

• The PJ must conduct an annual inspection to ensure that
the unit still meets H S.
• The PJ must also ensure that the unit is the appropriate size
for the household in order to meet the occupancy standard.
• Rent increases: The PJ must also review and approve rent
increases by landlords renting to tenants participating in the
TBRA program. Owners may adjust rents as leases are
renewed (generally annually). The PJ must disapprove a lease
if the rent is not reasonable.
• Recertifying income: in addition, the incomes of tenants

PART II: PROGRAM DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
There are a number of issues that Ns must consider when
establishing a TBRA program. Each of these issues is discussed
briefly below.
DETERMINING WHO WILL ADMINISTER
THE PROGRAM
Public housing authorities as an option: The cost to
establish and manage a TBRA program can be great. With this
in mind, many jurisdictions have elected to sub -contract the
administration of their HOME TBRA programs to their PHAs.
There are a number of advantages to this arrangement:
The PHA is likely to have in place the infrastructure to run
and manage this type of program. This includes staffing,
check processing equipment and systems, and paperwork
processes.
The PHA is experienced in using Section 8 income limits to
screen eligibility and conduct reertifiations.
The PHA is also experienced in conducting HQS inspections
for occupancy and housing quality.
Ns should be aware that the PHA may want to run a TBRA
program that complements or parallels its normal Section
program, because of unmet demand in the community (as
evidenced by a long or closed waiting list) and administrative
ease (due to staff familiarity with the requirements and
procedures of its Section 8 program).
The PJ, on the other hand, may wish to run a specialized
program that does not meet the demand for Section 8 or is not
modeled after the Section 8 program, but instead focuses on
particular types of households or particular types of assistance.
These special programs may be confusing for PHA staff who
simultaneously manage a Section 8 program.
DETERMINING THE TYPE OF PROGRAM
TO OFFER
As noted in Part I of this chapter, the PJ may use the Section
housing program as the model for its TBRA program, or may

design a wholly new program. The various options are
discussed in Part I of this chapter. Here are the different
arguments for each model.
• Using the Section 8 model: There are many arguments for
using the Section 8 Rental Certificate and Voucher Programs as
a model.
• The section 8 programs have a successful track record.
Using the Section 8 model could cut the amount of time it
would take to thoughtfully design a new program, which
some Ns could find prohibitive.
• If the PHA will operate the PJ's program, the Section
Program Voucher model can be more efficient, due to the
PH's familiarity with this program.
The program will likely be used by the same set of landlords
who participate in the Section 8 Program. However,
different rules may be confusing.
• The rental assistance payment goes directly to the landlord
under the Section 8 Program. Therefore, the landlord knows
that the program's share of the rent is guaranteed.
• Designing a new program: The most compelling reasons for
electing to design a new program would be a PJ's desire to
administer a security deposit only program, or a program
tailored to serve special needs populations. These options are
not available under Section 8 Rental Vouchers.
• Psis may use HOME
to assist families by
paying for not only
monthly rent and
utilities, but also
security deposits
and utility deposits.
(Remember: under
Caution on Security and
Utility Deposit Payments
Security deposit only or security and utility
deposit only) programs are attractive
because limited funds can be used to serve
more families. . However, they may not
provide .enough assistance. Many families
who cannot afford the security deposit also
cannot afford the monthly rental payments,
HOME, utility deposit assistance may only be provided in
conjunction with a TBRA security deposit or monthly
assistance program). In contrast, the Section 8 Rental
Voucher Program only helps with rent and utility costs, and
not security deposits or security and utility deposits.
• The Section 8 tenant -based assistance program makes
payments directly to the landlord on behalf of the tenant. By
paying the tenant, the Pi allows the tenant to make a full

payment to the landlord each month. The payment to the
tenant gives the tenant an appearance of greater financial
independence in his or her dealings with the landlord.
CALCULATING THE RENTAL SUBSIDY
• One of the most important decisions PJs must make with regard
to TBRA programs is how to calculate the tenant and PJ
contributions to rent.
• Three important factors affect the PJ's (and the households)
payment:
• The far it 's income -- the lower the family's income, the
higher the PJ's payment;
• The payment (rent) standard the PJ establishes for each
bedroom size; and
• The cost of housing and utilities for the unit the family
selects.
• In addition, the subsidy depends upon the TBRA model selected
by the N. How to determine the subsidy under the different
methods is discussed below.
lasing thes tUo l 8 rtiflrr. r r � t Model
• The Section 8 Rental Certificate Program model assumes a
fixed tenant payment.
• The tenant's share of housing costs (Total Tenant Payment,
or TTP) is calculated by formula. The PJ then pays the
difference between the tenant's share and the approved rent
for the unit.
• The formula for computing TTP under the Section 8 Rental
Certificate Program requires a tenant to pay the greater of:
30 percent of monthly adjusted income;
10 percent of monthly gross income; or
The welfare rent in as -paid states.
• Exhibit 7-1 demonstrates this method.

The program administrator must pay the difference between the tenant's
share and the approved rent.
Approved Rent $725
Less.Total Tenant Payment $458
PJ Share of the Rent $267
Using the Section 8 Voucher Model
The Rental Voucher Program model assumes a fixed PJ
payment.
• The maximum imum PJ subsidy is calculated, and the tenant pays
the difference between the subsidy and the approved rent
for the unit.
• Using the Section 8 Rental Voucher method, the PJ first
establishes a payment (rent) standard for the program as a
whole.
• The PJ generally pays the difference between its payment
(rent) standard and 30 percent of the tenant's adjusted
monthly income. However, a minimum tenant payment is
required. Exhibit 7-2 demonstrates this method.

NOTES
EXHIBIT 7-2
The Cleavers have been issued a two -bedroom HOME TBRA
Coupon. Their annual and adjusted incomes are $22,500 and
$1 , 00 respectively. As in Exhibit 7-1, their monthly annual (gross)
and adjusted income amounts are $458 and $188 respectively. They
find an apartment that rents for $800 (including utilities). The PJ's
rent standard is $775.
The maximum program administrator subsidy is:
$775 Rent standard
$458 (less) 30% of adjusted monthly income
$317 Maximum program administrator subsidy
The Cleaver's share of the rent is:
$800 Approved rent
$317 (less) Maximum subsidy
$483 Cleavers payment
In this example, the Cleavers will pay more than 30 percent of their
adjusted income for housing because they selected a unit that rents
for more than the payment (rent) standard.
Had the Cleavers found a very inexpensive unit, the requirement that
the family must pay at least 10 percent of monthly gross income
might apply.
$500 Approved rent
$317 (less) Maximum program administrator subsidy
$183 Calculated tenant share
However, the Cleavers must pay at least 10 percent of gross monthly
income
($22,500 / 12 months x 0,10 $188).
The program administrator's contribution would be reduced by $5.
Utility Allowances
To determine the portion of the housing cost that will be paid by
the PJ and the portion that will be paid by the household, the PJ
must establish a utility allowance schedule that estimates the
average cost of utilities for typical types of housing (single-
family, row house, high-rise, etc.) and for various utilities and
fuel sources (gas, oil, electricity).
Utilities included in the schedule generally include those
required for water/sewer, electric, gas and trash.
Telephone and cable TV are not considered utilities for this
purpose.

CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
PJs may adopt the utility allowance schedule that the PHA
uses for its Section 8 program, or, establish their own
schedule based on a survey of typical utility costs in the
area.. (See Exhibit7-3(a).)
EXHIBIT 7-3(a)
USING UTILITY ALLOWANCES
1 The Jones family selects a unit which rents for $ 7 , They
must pay electricity and gas separately.
(2) The PJ's utility allowance schedule indicates that the average
cost of electricity and gas for the unit size selected is $75.
0 percent of the family's adjusted income is $ 00.
(4) The family makes its tenant contribution as follows:
$75 For gas and electricity
+$225 Rent to the owner
$300
The PJ pays the difference between the rent the owner is
charging and the amount paid by the tenant:
$575 Rent to owner
-$225 Paid by family
$350 Subsidy
Sometimes PHAs must make a utility reimbursement to the
family and a payment to the owner. (See Exhibit7-3(b).)
EXHIBIT 7-3(b)
Assume that 30 percent of the smith family's monthly adjusted
income is only $50, and that the Smith family rents a unit similar to
the Jones family's,
The family's $50 contribution is not enough to pay utilities (much
less contribute to rent). In this case, payments are made as
follows:
$50 Family retains $0 to pay utility bills
+ PHA pays family $25 to cover regaining utility bills
$75 Entire utility allowance
$575 PHA pays entire rent to owner
PROCESSING APPLICATIONS
• Following are the key steps in processing applications for
TBRA.

H IDis Building HOME Manual l Chapter 7 TBRA
CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL TAL ASSISTANCE
Step 1: Ap • Ni Lion Intake and Waiting Lists
• As noted above, the PJ may use the PHA Section 8 waiting list
or create a waiting list of its own. Whichever method is used,
the PJ must follow its written tenant selection plan, which
explains how local preferences will be applied.
If the PJ uses the PHA's waiting list, no additional
application intake is needed. The PHA will already have
taker~ applications from families seeking rental assistance.
If the PJ decides to set up a separate waiting list, it will have
to take applications. Good record -keeping is essential to
demonstrate that all eligible families had the opportunity to
apply and were treated fairly in the application process. Ns
should use a written application form and retain records on
the disposition of all applications.
Eli bilit eter i ation
• PJs, or the PHA on behalf of the PJ, must verify all factors that
relate to the family's eligibility -- the household composition,
preference and income information provided by the family. The
HOME rules require examination of source documents (for
example, wage or interest statements) for TBRA households to
determine the family's income.
Ste. 3: c u•• n Issuance
• Once a household is determined eligible and selected to receive
assistance, the PJ issues the family a TBRA coupon. This is
the family's authorization to look for housing (or to request that
the PJ approve the unit in which the family. already lives.)
• The PJ .should establish a deadline for the family to locate
housing. As a comparison, PHAs give Certificate/Voucher
holders 60 days to find a unit. In extraordinary circumstances,
they may extend the search period for an additional 60 days.
Step : _Request for Unit A • •royal
• When the household finds an acceptable unit and a landlord
willing to participate in the program, the tenant submits a
request for unit approval and for using TBRA to rent the unit.
• The PJ must inspect the unit to assure that it meets Section
HQS and to determine if the rent the owner is charging for the
unit is reasonable, based upon the rents for comparable units in
the area.

HUD's Building HOME Manual Chapter 7 TBRA
CHAPTER 7: TENANT -BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE
NOTES
Step 5: Lease Execution and C/IIAI stern Project Set-U
Once the PJ has inspected and accepted the unit and
determined that the rent the owner is charging is reasonable,
two actions must occur:
Tenant lease: The .owner and the tenant enter into a lease.
To cover the special requirements of the HOME program,
the PJ provides a lease addendum to be used in conjunction
with the owner's lease.
Owner" agreement: The PJ and the owner enter into an
agreement in which the owner agrees to comply with the
HOME rules and the PJ agrees to make the PJ's share of
the payment.
• At this point, the TBRA Program must be set up in the
Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IRIS). Just
as a PJ might set up the construction of a multi -family building
as a "project" in the CAM System or IDIS, the PJ sets up its
TBRA program as a project, with up to 99 tenants listed under a
single project.
USING TBRA FOR ANTI -DISPLACEMENT
AND RELOCATION ACTIVITIES
• When HOME funds are used to rehabclitate rental housing,
some tenants may be adversely affected.
Displacement
• In a HOME project, if post -rehabilitation gross rent (rents and
utilities) exceed the tenants' TTP (as defined for the Section
Certificate Program), the tenant is considered rent -burdened,
A tenant who moves for this reason is considered displaced.
• Rent burden may exist even when a tenant occupies a unit that
carries HOME rents. For example, the Low Home Rent is
designed to be affordable to households at 50 percent of
median income with 30 percent of their income. This rent would
not be affordable to a household whose income is 40 percent of
median income.
• To avoid displacement, HOME TBRA or Section 8 assistance
may be provided to make the proposed rent affordable to the
tenant.

tenants be given the choice of TBRA r a cash replacement
housing payment. Section 104(d) gives the option to the FJ, but
if the PJ offers TBRA and the tenant prefers a replacement
housing payment, the tenant may receive the replacement
housing payment at URA (rather than Section 104(d)) levels.
• In this case, the value of the monthly HOME TBRA must be
equal to or greater than the monthly value of the tenant's
replacement housing payment.
Tenants who accept HOME TBRA must be assured of at least
42 months of assistance when the URA applies and 60 months
of assistance when Section d applies.
