In order to ensure housing stability during the COVID-19 national emergency, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has issued a series of regulation waivers for the CoC, ESG, HOPWA, and HOME TBRA programs. 

Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC), a recipient of ESG, HOME TBRA, HOPWA and 32 CoC projects, has established emergency record-keeping and required waiver documentation protocols for all subrecipient agencies during the COVID-19 national emergency. 

Housing Contract Administration (HCA) staff will host four separate webinars by program type for all KHC homeless and specialized housing program subrecipients to detail HUD waivers, KHC emergency record-keeping policies, and required documentation outlined in the CPD COVID-19 Memorandum for CoC, ESG, and HOPWA Programs,   dated March 31, 2020, and CPD COVID-19 Memorandum for HOME TBRA, dated April 10, 2020.
