968.225—Budget revisions.

(a) A PHA shall not incur any modernization cost in excess of the total HUD-approved CIAP budget. A PHA shall submit a budget revision, in a form prescribed by HUD, if the PHA plans to deviate from the originally approved modernization program, as it was competitively funded, by deleting or substantially revising approved work items or adding new work items that are unrelated to the originally approved modernization program, or to change the method of accomplishment from contract to force account labor, except as provided in paragraph (b)(4) of this section.

(b) In addition to the requirements of paragraph (a) of this section, a PHA shall comply with the following requirements:

(1) A PHA is not required to obtain prior HUD approval if, in order to complete the originally approved modernization program, the PHA needs to delete or revise approved work items or add new related work items consistent with the original modernization program. In such case, a PHA shall certify that the revisions are necessary to carry out the approved work and do not result in substantial changes to the competitively funded modernization program.

(2) A PHA shall not incur any modernization cost on behalf of any development that is not covered by the original CIAP application.

(3) Where there are funds leftover after completion of the originally approved modernization program, a PHA may, without prior HUD approval, use the remaining funds to carry out eligible modernization activities at developments covered by the original CIAP application.

(4) If a PHA is both an overall high performer and a modernization high performer under the Public Housing Management Assessment Program (PHMAP), the PHA is not required to obtain prior HUD approval to change the method of accomplishment from contract to force account labor.
