Operative Text

Cal. Civ. Code § 0770-03-01-.02
(1) This program shall apply to privately-owned rental units which are in need of rehabilitation. The owner
will agree to rehabilitate his property and will be guaranteed participation in the Section 8 housing
assistance payments program. This will guarantee a rent not to exceed 120 percent of the existing

housing fair market rents for a period not to exceed 15 years, provided an eligible family is living in the
property and the property is maintained in a safe and sanitary condition.

(2) The Moderate Rehabilitation Program is designed to be used to achieve one or more of the following
objectives: (1) freedom of housing choice and spatial deconcentration of assisted housing into areas
outside of low income and minority concentrations; (2) prevention of displacement of lower-income
families in areas undergoing private rehabilitation; and (3) neighborhood preservation and
revitalization. Applicants must indicate in their applications which of these objectives they propose to
promote.

(3) The Tennessee Housing Development Agency will participate in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program
in two distinct ways. First, the Agency will provide financing for the rehabilitation of units which will
receive rent assistance through a program administered by local public housing agencies or local city
governments. Second, the Agency will finance the rehabilitation of units which will receive assistance
through a program administered by the Agency. These rules are rules which affect the actual operation
of the rental assistance program and which effect tenants apply only when the Agency is administering
the rental assistance.

Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-01 et seq. § 0770-03-01-.02 establishes the scope and purpose of Tennessee's Moderate Rehabilitation Program, which applies to privately-owned rental units needing rehabilitation. Under this rule, participating owners agree to rehabilitate their properties in exchange for inclusion in the Section 8 housing assistance payments program, with rents guaranteed not to exceed 120 percent of fair market rents for up to 15 years, so long as an eligible family occupies the unit and the property remains safe and sanitary. The program pursues goals such as expanding housing choice, preventing displacement of lower-income families, and supporting neighborhood revitalization, and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) may administer the rental assistance directly or through local public housing agencies or city governments.

For Property Managers

Property owners considering participation in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program under Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-01 et seq. § 0770-03-01-.02 generally commit to completing required rehabilitation work and maintaining the unit in a safe and sanitary condition throughout the assistance period. In exchange, compliant operators receive a rent guarantee tied to Section 8 housing assistance payments, capped at 120 percent of applicable fair market rents for up to 15 years, provided an eligible family occupies the unit. Applicants are also expected to identify in their applications which program objectives — such as deconcentration of assisted housing or prevention of displacement — their project is intended to advance.

For Tenants

Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-03-01 et seq. § 0770-03-01-.02 describes a program that can benefit lower-income families by expanding housing options, preventing displacement during neighborhood rehabilitation, and supporting revitalization efforts. Tenants living in units where the Tennessee Housing Development Agency administers the rental assistance are directly affected by these rules, which include protections tied to the property being kept in a safe and sanitary condition. Tenants who believe their rights under this program are not being honored may wish to contact the Tennessee Housing Development Agency or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
