PBCA Contract Update

July - August 2011 was a period of many changes in the PBCA program.  In July 2011 HUD awarded PBCA contracts natiowide; in August 2011 HUD withdrew the contracts in 42 states and announced it would rebid the contracts. SHCC remains the PBCA in Texas and Arkansas.

In mid-September, HUD offered, and SHCC accepted, a 6-month extension of our contract to serve as the PBCA for Texas and Arkansas. The contract also includes three, optional 3-month extensions. The extended contract became effective on October 1, 2011. Under the contract, SHCC will continue to process and pay vouchers, handle tenant concerns, renew contracts and adjust rents. However, SHCC will not be performing Management and Occupancy Reviews (MORs). As a result, SHCC has cancelled all MOR’s that were already scheduled for September and will not be scheduling any reviews until further notice. We will miss our annual visits to your properties and look forward to resuming them under a new contract with HUD. 

HUD has stated that they hope to re-bid the PBCA contracts through issuance of a NOFA within the next 60 days.
