PBCA NOFA STATUS UPDATE– August 6, 2013

HUD has announced the 2-year PBCA awards, as decided under the NOFA.  The list of all 42 previously-contested states can be found here.  Many states will have different CAs than they have right now – and many states will have different CAs than those announced under the RFP in 2011.

The 90-day transition is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2013 for the 42 newly-awarded PBCAs, and full implementation is planned for January 1, 2014.  By mid-December of this year, incoming PBCAs must submit their work plan for MOR schedules, contract renewals and rent adjustments, which HUD will approve by December 31, 2013.

MORs will be done following the risk-based method in the NOFA:  Properties that scored Above-Average or Superior during their last MOR will not have a MOR during the 2-year contract.  Properties scoring Satisfactory will have one MOR, and those scoring below that will have a MOR in each year of the contract.

Just a reminder – there is still an appeal of the NOFA, to be decided by the court.  However, the court ruled that HUD could go ahead and make the announcement of awards while the appeal is still pending.
