HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing Programs (Multifamily) published a final rule in the Federal Register on June 29 amending existing Project-Based Section 8 regulations related to Management and Occupancy Reviews (MORs). MORs will now be conducted using a performance-based schedule that considers both a property’s risk-rating and its previous MOR score to determine whether the property’s next MOR will be scheduled within 12, 24, or 36 months of its previous MOR. The new schedule was published separately in the Federal Register on June 29. The intent of the new system is to reduce the frequency of MORs for Multifamily properties that consistently perform well. The effective date of the final rule is September 26.
