NH&RA, on behalf of its RAD User Group, is submitting a comment letter this week responding to Revision 3. The RAD User Group met by conference call to discuss the changes.
The comment letter calls for a change to the proposed developer fee in the Revision, stressing the fee as important for mitigating risk, maintaining operating reserves, supplying PHAs with needed compensation, and encouraging large and efficient bundled transactions. The letter also speaks to delaying implementation of the CNA e-Tool and asks for clarity regarding the definition of “contiguous” as it relates to HOPE VI Projects.
