FY17 Renewal Funding Inflation Factors for HCV program
 
Attached, please find a recent HUD notice establishing Renewal Funding Inflation Factors (RFIFs) to adjust FY2017 renewal funding for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program of each public housing agency (PHA). The notice assigns the expected change in the national per-unit-cost for the HCV program (3.97%) to each PHA based on changes to Fair Marketing Rents (FMRs) for their operating area,effective June 19, 2017.
 
Renewal funding for PHAs for the calendar year 2017 funding cycle is based on HUD's inflation factors as applied to leasing and cost data from the prior year; RFIFs have been developed to account for the expected annual change in average per-unit-costs in the voucher program using several economic indices. HUD's FY17 methodology differed in part from the previous year in that the reliance on historical per-unit-cost data was replaced with an independent growth projection in gross rents and tenant incomes.
