Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
This notice explains how HUD will recapture unused EHV services fees from PHAs and reallocate those funds to help cover HAP shortfalls so EHV assistance can continue. It also changes portability policy to allow PHAs administering EHVs to absorb incoming EHV families directly into their HCV program, subject to budget authority and unit availability. PHA staff should expect a final Fee Reconciliation and Closeout enclosure by the end of February 2026 based on VMS data through August 19, 2025.
