policies regarding the use of Project Based Vouchers (PBVs) within the  
HCV program. The Administrative Plan policies regarding PBVs are in  
need of revision to allow eligible units where the owner is participating  
in the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC) and utilizing a  
utility allowance that has been created with the California Utility  
Allowance Calculator (CUAC) to use the CUAC in the PBV assisted  
units if approved by the Department of Housing and Urban  
Development.  
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Housing and  
Community Services Department that the Housing Authority, by  
resolution, adopt the revisions to the Housing Choice Voucher Program  
Administrative Plan Chapter 17 - Project Based Vouchers to allow  
eligible units where the owner is participating in the Low-Income  
Housing Tax Credit Program (LIHTC) and utilizing a utility allowance  
that has been created with the California Utility Allowance Calculator  
(CUAC) to use the CUAC in the PBV assisted units if approved by the
