Dear Executive Director:
December 22, 2022
I am pleased to notify you that your public housing agency (PHA) has been awarded funds from
HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) awards under Notice PIH 2022-26
(Registration of Interest for HUD-VASH Vouchers). These vouchers should be administered in
partnership with the VA Medical Center listed below to serve veterans in your jurisdiction. With your
direct effort, these vouchers will help provide veterans with immediate access to permanent housing.
This letter provides the details of the funding awarded and information concerning the disbursement of
these funds.
Amy Jacobson
Executive Director
The enclosed table (see last page) shows the number of units and the budget authority
awarded. If your agency wishes to decline this award, please reply to VASH_ROI@hud.gov by
noon (EST) December 30, 2022, or they will be deemed accepted. The default effective date of
your award will be February 1, 2022, unless you contact VASH_ROI@hud.gov by January 18,
2023, to request an alternative effective date. Your effective date may be the first of any month
beginning February 2023 through June 2023.
Please remember, as with the regular voucher program, the awarded budget authority and
number of units both serve as a cap. Your agency may only lease until you have reached the lower of
your budget authority or number of units allocated. If you have money left but you have leased all the
awarded units, this extra funding will go into your agency’s HUD-VASH Housing Assistance Payment
(HAP) reserves. If you are on track to spend all of the awarded funding but still have units left, you
must manage your funds in a responsible manner that will not result in a shortfall.
The Financial Management Center (FMC) will provide your agency with an amended Annual
Contributions Contract that reflects the obligation of funds and monthly disbursements amount to be
scheduled. Initially, the first three months of disbursements will be automatically scheduled. Each
disbursement will equal 1/12th of your award amount. Thereafter, monthly disbursements will be
scheduled based on monthly HUD-VASH expenses reported in the Voucher Management System
(VMS). If you have not leased any vouchers by month three, you will not receive additional
disbursements until VMS data shows you are incurring HAP expenses. If at any time such
disbursements are not sufficient to cover your monthly expenses, your agency should contact your
Financial Analyst at the FMC.
Your PHA is required to follow relevant statutes, regulations, and HUD guidance when
administering the HUD-VASH Program, including the regulations at 24 CFR part 982, and the
requirements in PIH Notice 2022-26 and the guidance set forth in Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers:
Revised Implementation of the HUD Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program published in the
Federal Register on September 27, 2021.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Public Housing and Voucher Programs
Sincerely
Please contact your local HUD field office or email VASH@hud.gov if you have any questions or
need any other information.
To ensure that HUD-VASH families are recorded properly, you must record “VASH” on line 2n of
the form HUD-50058 (Family Report). Remember to accurately record families who are homeless at
admission on line 4c of the HUD-50058. HUD-VASH vouchers and corresponding HAP expenses must
also be accurately reported in VMS.
