Exception Payments Standard Guidance: HUD has developed a new methodology for determining exception payment standards above 110% of the established Fair Market Rent (FMR). This methodology is specifically designed for areas which experience significant shocks, such as natural disasters or natural resource exploration, and have a non-functioning rental housing market where the FMRs may be insufficient yet the normal data sources do not capture the conditions on the ground.
The new methodology tries to estimate the post-shock rental housing vacancy rate as a function of pre-shock rental housing market vacancies. The methodology will focus on estimating the number of additional households looking for housing due to the increased economic activity in the FMR area. Headquarters has also issued guidance on requesting waivers to 24 CFR 982.503(c) to allow a larger exception payment area and/or to allow the PHA to use the alternate PD&R -developed methodology. |
