Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 125 / Friday, July 2, 2021 / Notices
Granted By: James A. Jemison, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: March 31, 2021.
Reason Waived: HUD originally waived the requirement for 1-year on March 31, 2020 to help recipients and subrecipients prevent the spread of COVID19. Because social distancing and stay at home measures are still in place in most parts of the country, HUD
is extending this waiver. Additionally, recipients will need time when social distancing guidelines are no longer in effect to prepare staff to re-inspect and inspect as discussed above units for HQS; therefore, HUD is extending the waiver beyond the date the state or local public health official has determined special measures are no longer necessary to prevent the spread of COVID19.
Contact: Norm Suchar, Director, Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs, Office of Community Planning and Development, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 7262, Washington, DC 20410, telephone number 202 7084300.

Recipients are still required to follow State and local occupancy laws.
Nature of Requirement: 24 CFR
578.75c, suitable dwelling size, and 24
CFR 982.401d2ii as required by 24
CFR 578.75b, Housing Quality Standards, requires units funded with CoC Program funds to have at least one bedroom or living/sleeping room for each two persons.
Granted By: James A. Jemison, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development.
Date Granted: March 31, 2021.
Reason Waived: On September 30, 2020, HUD waived the requirements at 24 CFR 982.401d2ii and 24 CFR

Recipients continue to report that households experiencing homelessness remain unable to afford the limited supply of affordable housing in many jurisdictions across the country and this has been made even more challenging due to the economic impact of COVID
19. HUD is waiving the requirements at 24 CFR 982.401d2ii and 24 CFR
578.75c to reduce the spread of COVID19 by allowing households to move into housing instead of staying in congregate shelter. Consistent with the Executive Order on Fighting the Spread of COVID19 by Providing Assistance to Renters and Homeowners, grantees should balance use of this waiver with the recommendations of public health officials to limit community spread and reduce risks to high-risk populations.
For example, a large unit with rooms than can be partitioned for privacy and distancing, or the waiver can be applied for units that will house only one family household.

Regulation: 24 CFR 203.604 Contact with the mortgagor.
Project/Activity: The requirement for early default intervention under FHAs early default servicing requirements stipulate that mortgagees must conduct a face-to-face interview with the borrower to gather and convey required information and determine the borrowers circumstances and appropriate repayment plans.
Nature of Requirement: This is a partial waiver of servicing requirement in 24 CFR 203.604 that mortgagees must have a face-to-face interview before three full monthly installments due on the mortgage are unpaid. The waiver provided alternative methods that the mortgagee could use to make contact.
Granted by: Janet M. Golrick, Acting Assistant Secretary for Housing Federal Housing Commissioner.
Date Granted: February 2, 2021.
Reason Waived: The partial waiver of required face-to-face contact was issued due to continued public health concerns around the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019. Without the partial waiver, retention of the face-to-face interview requirement for servicing FHA-insured mortgages during the COVID19 pandemic introduces health risks and potential non-compliance by both mortgagees and borrower. Without the partial waiver, retention of the faceto-face interview requirement during the COVID19 pandemic could introduce increased health risks to FHA borrowers and mortgagees.
