SUBJECT: Calculating Annual Income for Purposes of Eligibility under NAHASDA
1. PURPOSE
This notice provides updated instructions to Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) grantees on how to calculate annual income under the IHBG program for the purpose of program eligibility. It covers the three definitions of annual income that grantees may utilize to determine income eligibility and adopt in their Admissions and Occupancy policies. Specifically, it includes a revised Section 8 method of income determination pursuant to the final rule of Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA), that called for regulatory revisions to 24 CFR Part 5, effective January 1, 2024.
As referenced in PIH Notice 2023-34: Transition and Implementation of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA), HUD is providing a oneyear transition period for Indian tribes and Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) administering IHBG grants to adopt and implement the new definition of “annual income” as modified by HOTMA. Accordingly, Indian tribes and TDHEs that choose to adopt the Section 8/24 CFR part 5 definition of annual income will have until January 1, 2025, to implement and come into compliance with the new Section 8/24 CFR part 5 definition of annual income. This additional flexibility will allow time to update processes, procedures, and policies for Indian tribes and TDHEs that need it.
This notice replaces Program Guidance 2013-05. The list of Federally Mandated Exclusions from Income (Appendix D) has also been updated.
