Recap assists owners/agents of multifamily affordable housing properties navigate complex HUD regulations and guidance in order to ensure the long-term preservation of their assets. Recap has the financial expertise and experience to execute transactions to accomplish our client’s unique project objectives.
RAD for PRAC
Currently owners with 202 PRAC-funded properties have no options for refinancing and recapitalizing their properties. To address this HUD will be publishing new legislation by the end of February, 2019 to allow PRAC owners to convert their PRAC to a more leveragable form of subsidy through the “Rental Assistance Demonstration” (RAD) Program. As of the time of this submittal, the RAD for PRAC program has been authorized by Congress, and our team is working closely with HUD to shepherd the development of the program. Should you have any questions, please contact us.

In 2012, Congress authorized the conversion of Mod Rehab properties, including Mod Rehab SROs, to long-term project-based Section 8 contracts, either Project-Based Vouchers (“PBVS”) or Project-Based Rental Assistance (“PBRA”) through the Second Component of RAD.
