About this program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development is awarding Performance Based Contract Administrator (PBCA) program funds to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to administer Project-Based Section 8 Rental Assistance contracts, CFDA 14.327, with the most recent application cycle closed and awards made to applicants meeting funding criteria specified in the Notice of Funding Availability.
The program funds administration of project-based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) contracts, where rental subsidies are attached to specific properties rather than individual tenants. PBCA recipients handle contract renewals, rent adjustments, management reviews, payments to property owners, and response to health and safety issues. The funding covers PHAs designated to serve as administrators across 42 states listed in the program NOFA. Recipients must maintain audited financial statements under OMB Circular A-133 requirements, permit HUD to audit property management and maintenance at any time to ensure units remain in decent, safe, and sanitary condition, and retain all program records for three years.
The source does not report recent individual grant award amounts, recipient names, or the timing and volume of awards made. No current grant opportunities are listed as open. Applications were solicited through Grants.gov during a recent cycle with a deadline now closed; the source does not specify the application due date, award announcement date, or the number of PHAs selected. The assistance-type mix, total federal dollars obligated, and typical award magnitude are not reported in the source.
The program operates on an availability basis rather than a fixed annual appropriation cycle. There is no formal appeal process for applicants; those not selected may request a debriefing on application strengths and weaknesses. Applicants interested in pursuing funding should monitor the HUD website and Grants.gov for the next Notice of Funding Availability, as the current cycle has concluded and future solicitation timing is not specified in the source.
