Notice of Funding Availability Application (NOFA) FAIRCLOTH TO RAD ADDENDUM #2
ISSUE DATE: Tuesday, February 27, 2024
This Addendum, including all articles and corrections listed below, shall become a part of the original Request for Proposals (“RFP”) package and shall be taken into account in preparing your proposal response.
The above-numbered solicitation is amended as set forth below. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and completing the attached Addenda Acknowledgement Form. The Addenda Acknowledgement Form must be submitted with the Firm’s response to this RFP. Failure to include the Form in the proposal response may subject your firm to disqualification.
In order to ensure that all firms are given an equal opportunity to submit a competitive response, this addendum serves to communicate changes and provide clarifications concerning the 2023 NOFA Faircloth to RAD Rental Subsidy Program Application.
Change #1- How to Submit your Application.
Update language to remove the 50-unit threshold on page #7.
C. In the event an applicant has multiple strategies and deal terms for a property or cluster of properties, up to the designated 50-unit threshold up to 3 applications detailing the alternative property strategy arrangements may be submitted for evaluation.
Change #2- RAD PBV Rents
Updated language to provide more flexibility on rental subsidy levels on page #10.
1.5
- Applicants may request FTR subsidy for all or some of the units in the proposed development. If approved, constructed, and converted to RAD, the initial public housing subsidy associated with the development will be converted to a payment under a FTR HAP contract with AH. Applicants applying for FTR should assume 60% Area Median Income (AMI) rent levels (Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell) for purposes of development budgets. Determination of approved rents will be subject to HUD funding availability and the agency’s budget authority. Access this link for assistance in determining the latest 60% AMI gross rent levels https://ric.novoco.com/tenant/rentincome/calculator/z2.jsp. If the Owner/Developer plans to pay for the utilities, a gross rent will be paid. If the resident will be responsible for paying their utilities, a net rent will be paid, subtracting the utility allowance from the gross rent.
- Assisted units may not be occupied until after RAD conversion. RAD conversion cannot occur until after DOFA, HUD approval of the assisted units as public housing units and the RAD transaction is complete. Subsidy payments for the assisted units under the FTR HAP Contract cannot occur until after the Certificate of Occupancy is obtained and tenant screening and income verification requirements are met.
Change #3 – Financial Feasibility
Updated language to provide more flexibility on rental subsidy levels.
Applicant must provide the following:
- A 20-year pro forma illustrating proposed rents for FTR units
- The rents must not exceed the current 60% AMI rent levels per HUD. Determination of approved rents will be subject to HUD funding availability and the agency’s budget authority.

Notice of Funding Availability Application (NOFA) FAIRCLOTH TO RAD ADDENDUM #1
ISSUE DATE: Wednesday, November 29, 2023
This Addendum, including all articles and corrections listed below, shall become a part of the original Request for Proposals (“RFP”) package and shall be taken into account in preparing your proposal response.
The above-numbered solicitation is amended as set forth below. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum by signing and completing the attached Addenda Acknowledgement Form. The Addenda Acknowledgement Form must be submitted with the Firm’s response to this RFP. Failure to include the Form in the proposal response may subject your firm to disqualification.
In order to ensure that all firms are given an equal opportunity to submit a competitive response, the following are responses to questions and/or requests for clarification concerning 2023 NOFA Faircloth to RAD Rental Subsidy Program Application.
The Faircloth to RAD program represents a unique opportunity for PHAs, like Atlanta Housing, to create new affordable units through its existing Faircloth authority. This strategy allows for the redevelopment of previously demolished affordable public housing units, providing additional operating funds to operate these as safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable units for low-income families.
This session will dive into the details of the NOFA (Notice of Funding Availability) for this program. It aims to support the construction of new affordable units, potentially through multiple awards.
We encourage all interested individuals, especially potential applicants, community partners, and stakeholders in affordable housing, to attend this session. It will be an excellent opportunity to understand the application process, funding availability, and strategic needs of the Faircloth to RAD program.
Together, we can take significant strides towards enhancing affordable housing options to the community.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY ATLANTA HOUSING
Please find HUD’s latest Faircloth to RAD Guide below.
Question:
Can a priority owner underwrite assuming their current Multifamily Rent Schedule from Atlanta Housing for the Faircloth to RAD application?
AH Response:
AH Submarket Payment Standards are not applicable for this program. The maximum rent would be 80% AMI for properties that are non-Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). The maximum for LIHTCs is 60% AMI rent levels.
Question:
How many units can a company qualify for when applying for the Faircloth to RAD program?
AH Response:
As per the AH Deconcentration Policy:
- No more than fifty percent (50%) of the Covered Units in a multifamily community built or substantially rehabilitated for occupancy by Families may be assisted under Section 8 and/or Section 9 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as amended.
- Up to 100% of the Covered Units in a multifamily community that was officially designated, built, or substantially rehabilitated for occupancy by Elderly Families, Disabled Families, and/or Families enrolled in an AH-approved supportive housing program may be assisted under Section 8 and/or Section 9 of the Act.

Documentation: Addendum #1_Letter- Signed
Notice of Funding Availability Application (NOFA) FAIRCLOTH TO RAD
Purpose: Utilizing its Moving to Work (“MTW”) funding authority and flexibility, AH is planning to implement the Faircloth to Rental Assistance Demonstration (“RAD”) Conversion Strategy to develop new affordable public housing units in replacement of units previously removed from AH’s affordable housing inventory. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) has developed an innovative path for Public Housing Authorities (“PHAs”) to leverage their existing public housing “Faircloth Authority” to create new rent-assisted housing through the RAD Program. Faircloth to RAD (“FTR”) conversions will allow AH and its development partners more readily access financing for the development of new affordable units. Under the HUD’s Faircloth limit guidance, AH is authorized to redevelop previously demolished affordable public housing units and receive additional operating funds to operate these replacement units as safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable for low-income families. In a Faircloth to RAD transaction, PHAs are allowed to develop public housing units using HUD’s traditional public-housing mixed finance program with pre-approval to convert the property to a long-term Section 8 contract following construction. 1 With early-stage RAD conversions approvals, lenders and investors will have the revenue certainty through familiar Section 8 contracts to underwrite the construction of these projects. This Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”) is a pilot program of AH that will support new affordable units through possible multiple awards. The total number of units will be subject to funding availability and AH’s strategic needs. The Faircloth to RAD subsidy funding is repurposed ACC public housing funding for property operations, maintenance and rental subsidy. Units approved pursuant to this strategy may be subsidized for an initial term up to 20 years and subject to automatic renewal requirements. For an in-depth review of the of the FTR program please see Attachment A – HUD Faircloth-to-RAD resource Guide.
Application Process and Timeline
Under the current Notice of Funding Availability (“NOFA”), AH is seeking Property Owners/Developers (“Applicants”) of residential units for eligible residents earning up to 80% Area Median Income (“AMI”) who can provide residential units through new construction, existing housing not otherwise subsidized by HUD, or repurposing of other existing buildings and are interested in receiving AH subsidy for their rental units, through either subsidy-only arrangements, or subsidy with a financing and/or investment component. AH will also consider Applicants who can bundle several units in proposed clusters of multiple buildings. If an application is administratively approved, AH must present the application to its Board of Commissioners for approval. Following this Board approval, AH will execute a conditional commitment letter, subject to HUD approval, to provide subsidy for an initial term of up to twenty (20) years with options for possible extensions. AH anticipates notifying Applicants within 30 days of AH’s receipt of a completed application as to AH’s administrative decision on the application. AH reserves the right to cancel or discontinue its application process for AH rental subsidy at any time throughout the duration of this NOFA if determined by AH, in its sole discretion, to be in the best interest of AH to do so.
