RENTAL ASSISTANCE DEMONSTRATION (RAD) PROGRAM
RAD - A new HUD Pilot Program
 Designed to encourage housing authorities to transition from
the public housing financial model to the more stable ProjectBased Section 8 model.
Conversion to Long-Term Contract Rents
 The RAD Program allows housing authorities to convert their
unpredictable Public Housing subsidies to a long -term contract
rent under the Project-Based Voucher Program (Section 8).
Substantial Renovation of Public Housing
 The RAD conversion is based on the CHA renovating current Public
Housing stock to a level that may be sustained for 15 to 20 years.

 No Re -screening of Tenants upon Conversion.
 Pursuant to the RAD statute, at conversion, current households are not
subject to rescreening, income eligibility, or income targeting provisions.
 Right to Return.
 Any residents that may need to be temporarily relocated to facilitate
rehabilitation or construction will have a right to return to the development
once rehabilitation or construction is completed.
 Renewal of Lease.
 Under RAD, the PHA must renew all leases upon lease expiration, unless
cause exists.
 Phase-in of Tenant Rent Increases.
 If a tenant’s monthly rent increases by more than the greater of 10 percent
or $25 purely as a result of conversion, the rent increase will be phased in
over 3 years, which a PHA may extend to 5 years.
7
 Public Housing Family Self Suf ficiency (PH FSS) and Resident
Opportunities and Self Suf ficiency Service Coordinator (ROSS SC) programs.
 Current PH FSS participants will continue to be eligible for FSS once
their housing is converted under RAD. Current ROSS -SC grantees will
be able to finish out their current ROSS -SC grants once their housing
is converted under RAD.
 Resident Participation and Funding.
 Residents of covered projects converting assistance to PBVs will have
the right to establish and operate a resident organization for the
purpose of addressing issues related to their living environment and
be eligible for resident participation funding .
8
 Resident Choice and Mobility.
 One of the major benefits of the RAD program is that the program
greatly enhances the choice and mobility of Residents living in the
converted Public Housing units.
 The units will be converted to Project-Based Vouchers (PBV), in which
residents may move out of the converted Public Housing development
with housing assistance after living there for one year.
 Once this residency requirement has been met, the Resident may be
issued a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher if they choose not to
renew their lease. The Resident can use their voucher anywhere in
Columbia and Boone County and may also “port-out” to another PHA
with their voucher and continue to receive housing assistance
through the new PHA.
