Tribal HUD-VASH Rental Assistance for Native Veterans
The Tribal HUD-VASH program provides rental assistance and supportive services to Native American veterans who are homeless or at risk of homelessness living on or near a reservation or other Indian areas. Tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities request tenant-based and/or project-based rental assistance by number of bedrooms, and grants and renewal funds are awarded based on the number of rental units approved by HUD; eligible homeless veterans receive case management services through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
PBV and PHA-Owned Certification Options Under HOTMA
The notice describes program options under the Project-Based Voucher (PBV) rules and the HOTMA Voucher Final Rule (published May 7, 2024): PHAs may project-base vouchers, enter HAP contracts with private owners for existing projects, enter agreements governing development activity for new or rehabilitated projects, allow development after HAP execution with a rehabilitated housing rider, and use PHA-owned certification/certification riders in lieu of other agreements for PHA-owned units.
HUD Revising HCV/Tribal HUD-VASH Forms
HUD is asking OMB to approve revisions to the information collection for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program and Tribal HUD-VASH, including many forms (for example: HUD-50164, HUD-52530A, HUD-52641, SF-424). HUD says these are revisions to an existing OMB-approved collection (OMB Control No. 2577-0169) to improve how information is collected and that no new costs are expected; public comments are due by June 1, 2026.
