Procedures for Appealing Section 8 Rent Adjustments

The proposed information collection requirement described below has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act. The Department
is soliciting public comments on the subject proposal.

When a rent increase for certain Section 8 subsidized projects is denied, in full or in part, owners may submit to HUD an appeal letter outlining the basis for the appeal. The appeal letter must be submitted to the Contract Administrator or the HUD Director for review. HUD uses the information to determine whether to deny or allow Section 8 rent increases.

Comments Due Date: January 12, 2009.
