NAHMA HUD Update: Cost Not Attributable Mortgagee Letter; andRADBlast on Resident Engagement Changes in RAD Supplemental NoticeSeptember 15, 2023 ear NAHMA Members –
Please find two subject updates below from HUD's Office of Multifamily Housing:
Cost Not Attributable Mortgagee LetterDear Multifamily Owners and Operators,
Yesterday, HUD's Office of Multifamily Housing published a Mortgagee Letter announcing the revised method for calculating cost-not-attributable to residential use that is simpler, saves time, and achieves standard results across the country. The Mortgagee Letter will shortly replace the Multifamily Accelerated Processing (MAP) Guide Appendices A.5.10 and A.5.11 with a single, shorter, new Appendix A.5.10. While the MAP Appendix is revised, the Mortgagee Letter contains in detail the revised calculation method for construction, existing, and supplemental loans. The changes contained in today’s Mortgagee Letter are effective immediately.
In this Issue of the RADBlast!:
New Training Available on Resident Engagement Updates in the 2023 RAD Supplemental The Office of Recapitalization’s Resident Engagement and Protections team produces educational materials and provides technical assistance (TA) to residents, PHAs, and owners around resident rights. This helps to ensure that the robust resident protections built into RAD are implemented effectively by program participants. A new recorded training on updates to the HUD requirements focused on RAD resident engagement is now available on the RAD resident site (where updated fact sheets and educational videos can be found as well). This overview explains changes such as the requirement for additional resident meetings and required documents to be submitted in accordance with the new 2023 RAD Supplemental Notice (published July 27, 2023). The Supplemental Notice can be found here. The changes to resident engagement requirements go into effect on September 20, 2023, and the link to the training can be found here.
