Program Overview
MaineHousing’s Landlord Participation Incentive Program (the “Program”) provided funds for Maine Public Housing Authorities (“PHAs”) to incent landlords to participate in the PHAs’ Housing Choice Voucher (“HCV”) programs. Funding required compliance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations and notices including the CARES Act, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) PIH Notice PIH-2020-18, and any other relevant guidance from HUD or MaineHousing. MaineHousing administered the Program through the Maine Association of Public Housing Authority Directors (“MAPHD”), which disbursed funds to participating PHAs, collected data on use of funds from the PHAs, and reported the data quarterly to MaineHousing.
