Did QHWRA eliminate HUDs ability to approve full or partial exceptions to a PHAs mandatory minimum program size?
HUD field offices have continued authority to approve full or partial exceptions permitting a PHA to operate an FSS program smaller than its mandatory minimum size. To obtain an exception, the PHA must demonstrate that at the present time it cannot administer an FSS program of the mandatory minimum program size because of local circumstances such as lack of supportive services, lack of funding for reasonable administrative costs, lack of cooperation by units of state and local government or lack of family interest. As in the past, after reviewing and evaluating the PHA’s request for an exception, the HUD field office must offer technical assistance to the PHA to help resolve the problems that are interfering with the PHA’s implementation of its FSS program. The HUD field office staff should share with the PHA information about techniques used by other PHAs, refer the PHA to other PHAs that have successfully implemented FSS programs and assure that the PHA has tried different approaches
