Landlord Incentives. The limitations on eligible activities under section 415(a) of the McKinneyVento Act and 24 CFR 576.105 are waived and alternative requirements are established to the extent necessary to authorize ESG-CV funds to be used under 24 CFR 576.105 to add the eligible cost of paying for landlord incentives as reasonable and necessary to obtain housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and at risk of homelessness. However, a recipient may not use ESG-CV funds to pay the landlord incentives set forth below in an amount that exceeds three times the rent charged for the unit. Waiving the limitation on eligible costs under housing relocation and stabilization services to pay for the costs of landlord incentives will increase the number of housing units available to people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, especially in tight rental markets and obtaining and maintaining housing is critical to preventing the spread of coronavirus and helping mitigate the economic impact of the crisis. The limitation to three times the rent charged for each unit ensures enough ESG-CV funds remain available to provide other eligible activities necessary to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Eligible landlord incentive costs include:

The limitation to three times the rent charged for each unit ensures enough ESG-CV funds remain available to provide other eligible activities necessary to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Eligible landlord incentive costs include: ● Signing bonus equal to up to two months of rent; ○ Note: Since the Landlord Signing Bonus has a cap (no more than two months of rent), it is technically not a bonus but an incentive. However, so as not to cause confusion by naming it differently than what is found in the ESG-CV Notice and the CPD-21-08 Notice, it will still be named Signing Bonus. ● Security deposits equal to up to three months of rent; ● Paying the cost to repair damages incurred by the program participant not covered by the security deposit or that are incurred while the program participant is still residing in the unit; and, ● Paying the costs of extra cleaning or maintenance of a program participant’s unit or appliances. ● Minimum guidelines: ○ All landlord incentives should only be used when absolutely necessary to prevent a person from being evicted or to get somebody housed.

Landlord Incentives. The Housing Authority of Champaign County (HACC) proposes to utilize funding from the American Rescue Plan Act granted to Champaign County to expand our existing Landlord Incentive Program. The Goal of the Landlord Incentive Program is to increase housing opportunities and options to Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) participants while supporting local landlords who may have experienced hardship through the eviction moratorium. We believe the implementation of these incentives help to increase housing opportunities and will assist in disseminating the concentration of voucher recipients in low income or impoverished areas, retaining existing landlords and recruiting new landlords.
