Dear Resident:

The Department of Housing and Urban Development subsidizes the rent of your

apartment through the project-based Section 8 program. Federal law requires that owners

provide tenants with a one-year notification before the expiration of a Section 8 contract.

The Section 8 contract that pays the government’s share of your apartment rent at

(name of project)

expires on

(one year from date of this letter) .

Although there will be no immediate change in your rental assistance, we are

required to inform you of our intended actions when the contract expires one year from

now.

This letter is to notify you that we do not intend to renew the

current Section 8 contract when it expires.

Since we do not intend to renew this project-based contract upon its expiration, it is

our understanding that, if Congress makes funds available (which it has in the past and is

expected to in the future), the Department of Housing and Urban Development will

provide all eligible tenants currently residing in a Section 8 project-based assisted unit with

tenant-based assistance. Unlike the current project-based Section 8 contract, Section 8

vouchers are issued to the tenants and allows them to choose the place they wish to rent.

The Section 8 voucher program is administered by local Public Housing Authorities.

Federal law allows you to elect to continue living at this property provided that the unit, the

rent, and we, the owners, meet the requirements of the Section 8 tenant-based assistance

program. As an Owner, we will honor your right as a tenant to remain at the property on

this basis as long as it continues to be offered as rental housing, provided that there is no

cause for eviction under Federal, State or local law.

You will also have the opportunity to choose another development or single family

house in which to move provided that the new landlord will accept the voucher and the

owner and the unit meet Section 8 tenant-based program requirements.

Please remember that project-based Section 8 rental assistance will continue to be

provided on your behalf for one year. In addition, we may agree to a renewal of the project-

based contract with HUD, thus avoiding contract termination altogether.
