This Department has been asked to enter into a Section 8 contract pursuant to 24 CFR 886, Subpart A, Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program--Additional Assistance Program for Projects under flUD-Insured and HUD-Held Mortgages, with Mr. Richard V. Lichtwald, Registered Homes, Inc., owner of the subject project. Since the law requires that PHA's be given an opportunity to participate in the Section 8 existing housing program, we are notifying you of this request. The decision to participate or not is at your sole discretion. Should you decide to participate, the PHA will be expected to re- view any proposed evictions in the aforementioned project, and to authorize the eviction, unless you find the grounds to be in- sufficient under the lease. Based upon the costs of comparable services provided by private industry, each such action will entitle the PHA to a fee of $10. We request that you indicate your decision to participate in the Section 8 contract at once. If no response is received, we will assume that the PHA does not wish to participate and we will then proceed without your participation. Sincerely, ,, %1 � � ,f � �,;,�_� ��ohn E.

S choeneman , Gf/� ��-�jj� D C� -'� �� ve wish to f:ormally request a committment far Ser.tion 8 assistar.ce for Cumberland Court F�partments (U7.5-44d39-LDP/Supj. We ask to narticipate in the Section 8 assistan.ce program wrien such committments become avai�able. Dur:i.ng the period from January I.st :L977 thru August 1st, 1977 we have experi.e:�ce�! 20 vacancy's witl� 18 of these occuring in June, Jv.],y and nugust 1977, C�zrrently 5 uz�its xernain vacant with 5 more t.enants vacating Septemb�r 30th. F'rom Septemebr. lst 1976 i�l:ru Auqus�_ 31si:� 1977 we had 54 turnovtrs at Cumberland Court with 23 of these occur_ing in June, Ju1y and hugusL 1.977. Our experience was that upcn posting a notice of aprlication far a rental increase on May 25th, we received sev��z�al notice`s of in�er.t to vacute. When approva�. was given to increuse re�zt and tenants were notified that as of August 1st these new� levels wi]_1 apply, mar�y otl-�ers also gave notice. This tnen has conti.nued to date witki 5 more notic�s re- ceived for months end and 2 mor.e notices effective October 31, 1.977 now in•our possession. Our impression of the events of the past year and i.n particul.ar the last three months is that turnovers and vacancy's have been much too high to operate tl-ie project properly. Too rnuch money and time is spent in r�renting and recoridit�oning vacant aprtr:ients and not enough spent on providing services to those rood tc�nani:s that do rema.in. In 1973 when we {irst rented up Cumberland Court a 2 bedroom urzit re?ited for $147.00 per. month. They now rent for $176.00 per month. a pr_ice whi_r.r all things considered is not far below tlie comparable units in canventional apa-rtment.. sites in this area. Therefore if �ae would be granted Section 8 assisi_ance our competitive position would become decidely better. Lower rent to each individual tenant would not only hel� us with our ctzrrent vacancy problems but would 'xeep bath v��canc� `s and turnovers at a mi.nimLUn in the long run. The approval of our recent reilt inci:ease to $176.00 for 2 bed.room units and ;;1g7.00 far a 3 bedr.00m will wlien all current leases are adjusted to these 1�vels develo�ae a potential gross rent rnonthly collection at 100� occupancy of $13,176. SC:CC]_Oil 3 assistance should gr_eatly increase our. chances of maint��i.ning 100� occu��ai�cy and that level of. income. P.� that level of income more funds wi11 be available to concentrate on grounds care and building maintenance, Where now we conceni:rate on redocarating the vacanl: units we could redecorate aiid improve upon unzts alre�d,� r.ented thercby assur.iny mor.e contented tenani;s and fewer turnover �.

An additional painting cre�a would b� needed and woul.d then be assembled. Mar.y window units need cau]_king and this would commence *.'i�w e�o as t� ��ve hea.t bef�re �aint�r.
