Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 125 / Friday, July 2, 2021 / Notices arrangement in connection with the HCV program or Public Housing property, in which any present or former member or officer of the PHA has a direct or indirect interest during his or her tenure or for one year thereafter.
Granted By: Dominique Blom, General Deputy Assistant Secretary, Public and Indian Housing.
Date Granted: March 5, 2021.
Reason Waived: The PHAs Executive Director retired in November 2020 and the Deputy Director was appointed Interim Executive Director while the PHA searches for a qualified candidate for the Executive Director. The PHAs Board of Commissioners requested to hire the former Executive Director on a part-time temporary basis to assist with the transition of the Deputy Director to Interim Executive Director and to serve as the Deputy Director so the services to PHAs residents are not diminished and to enable the PHA to address additional demands imposed by the COVID
pandemic. The PHA reviewed its current staffing and determined that no other PHA employee possesses a similar level of skills, knowledge, and expertise as the former Executive Director. The PHA also evaluated the possibility of hiring a consulting firm but doing so would come at a much higher cost. The PHAs attorney evaluated State and local law and determined that the former Executive Director would be permitted under State and local law to be hired by PHA. The HUD Field Office, including HUDs Regional Counsel, supported approval of this request.
Thus, pursuant to the waiver authority provided at 24 CFR 5.110, HUD
determined that there was good cause to waive 24 CFR 982.161a1.
