Section 8 Contract Administration

What the Program Does:

With the signing of the Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Asset Management Unit will provide contract administration (CA) services to ensure the financial and physical integrity of Section 8 properties in the State of Kansas.

Who the Program Helps:

Low to very-low income families and individuals. Specifically, the household's income may not exceed the limits of the program. Some properties, such as properties whose mortgages are insured under Sections 221, 231 and 236 of the National Housing Act may be wholly or partically designated for the elderly. Those interested in applying for assistance should contact the property to determine if eligible for assistance.

How It Works:

The KHRC must administer Section 8 HAP contracts in accordance with the ACC, Federal law, and HUD regulations and requirements. The major tasks include, but are not limited to, the following: conduct annual Management and Occupancy Reviews (MOR) / Fair Housing Equal Opportunity (FHEO) checks; adjust Contract Rents; process HAP contract terminations or expirations; renew HAP contracts; pay monthly vouchers from Section 8 owners; respond to exigent health and safety (EH&S) issues; submit Section 8 budgets, requisitions, revisions, and year-end settlements; submit audits of the CA's financial condition; report on PHA operating plans and progress; and, follow-up on results of physical inspections of Section 8 projects.
