the limited/preferred tenant eligibility for the project.

housing and other groups);

jurisdiction's affirmative marketing procedures and requirements (e.g., use of commercial media, use
of community contacts, use of the Equal Housing Opportunity logotype or slogan, and display of
fair housing poster);
(iii) Procedures to be used by subrecipients and owners to inform and solicit applications from persons
in the housing market area who are not likely to apply for the housing program or the housing

employment centers, fair housing groups, or housing counseling agencies);
(iv) Records that will be kept describing actions taken by the jurisdiction and by subrecipients and
owners to affirmatively market the program and units and records to assess the results of these
actions; and
(v) A description of how the jurisdiction will annually assess the success of affirmative marketing
actions and what corrective actions will be taken where affirmative marketing requirements are not
met.

ISSUED: 8-May-12
Note: Starting in 2013, Section 221(d)(3) program limits will no longer be calculated and published by HUD due to the elimination of the
221(d)(3) Mortgage Program. The HOME statute and the HOME regulation at 24 CFR 92.250(a) limit the amount of HOME funds
that a PJ may invest in a HOME-assisted unit. The maximum HOME per-unit subsidy limit is set at the basic Section 221(d)(3)(ii)
mortgage limit for elevator-type projects, by bedroom size (with adjustments up to 240% for “high cost” geographic areas).
Because HUD is no longer calculating 221(d)(3) limits, PJs must continue to use the 2012 published Section 221(d)(3) limits for
all HOME projects, until further notice from the Office of Community Planning and Development at
HUD. These limits were published in December 2011, and became effective January 1, 2012.
