PART 968 - PUBLIC HOUSING MODERNIZATION

subpart a - GENERAL

968.102 - Special requirements for Turnkey III developments.

  (a) Modernization Costs. Modernization work on a Turnkey III unit shall not increase the purchase price or amortization period of the home.

  (b) Eligibility of paid-off and conveyed units for assistance.(1) Paid-off units. A Turnkey III unit that is paid off but has not been conveyed at the time the CIAP application or CGP Annual Submission is submitted, is eligible for any physical improvement under 968.112(d).

  (2) Conveyed units. Where modernization work has been approved before conveyance, the PHA may complete the work even if title to the unit is subsequently conveyed before the work is completed. However, once conveyed, the unit is not eligible for additional or future assistance.

A PHA shall not use funds provided under this part for the purpose of modernizing units if the modernization work was not approved before conveyance of title.

  (c) Other. The homebuyer family must be in compliance with its financial obligations under its homebuyer agreement in order to be eligible for non-emergency physical improvements, with the exception of work necessary to meet statutory and regulatory requirements, (e.g., accessibility for persons with disabilities and lead-based paint activities) and the correction of development deficiencies.

Notwithstanding the above requirement, a PHA may, with prior HUD approval, complete non-emergency physical improvements on any homeownership unit where the PHA demonstrates that, due to economies of scale or geographic constraints, substantial cost savings may be realized by completing all necessary work in a development at one time.
