For the purpose of establishing an “obligated” date for RHF, what milestone can HUD consider for this purpose?
A11. Generally, funds obligated means the commitments enter into by the PHA; i.e., contract execution for contract labor, materials or services; start and continuation of work for force account labor; and appropriate charging of administrative costs. Contract execution means execution of the contract by the contractor and the PHA. For force account work, all funds for a group of sequentially-related work items are considered obligated when the first work item is started, such as roof insulation followed by roof replacement, but only when funds continue to be expended at a reasonable rate. However, when one work item is started and is not sequentially related to other work items, such as window replacement and kitchen remodeling, then only the funds for the one work item started are considered obligated. RHF funds can be obligated for approved pre-development costs – but only those costs associated with the development proposal submission. Development proposals and site acquisition prop
