The moderate rehabilitation program provides project-based rental assistance for low income elderly or disabled tenants.
The moderate rehabilitation (Mod Rehab) program was designed in 1978 to be an expansion of the rental certificate program. The rental certificate program was initially amended to permit moderate levels of rehabilitation to upgrade and preserve the nation's housing stock.
The program is administered locally by PHA.
Eligible families are placed on the PHA's housing choice voucher or separate Mod Rehab waiting list. When vacancies occur in Mod Rehab projects, the PHA refers eligible families for participation in the Mod Rehab program from its waiting list to owner. Owners select families for occupancy of a particular unit after screening each family.
The family pays 30% of its adjusted income towards the rent.
Eligibility criteria includes: income eligibility, housekeeping, rental history, criminal history, and financial responsibility. To be eligible, applicants must be:
1. A household containing: (a) head or spouse with a long-term disability; or (b) head or spouse who is at least 62 years of age; or (c) family consisting of one or more related or unrelated adults who have established a stable relationship. (d) any other single adult.
2. Be receiving a total gross income within the limits established by HUD. Annual Income is the gross amount of income anticipated to be received by all of the family members during the next twelve months after the date of application.
