The Operating Cost Adjustment Factors (OCAF) for 2014 were published in the September 16, 2013 Federal Register. These factors are used for adjusting or establishing Section 8 rents under the Multifamily Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 (MAHRA), as amended, for projects assisted with Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments. The factors are effective February 11, 2014 and can be found at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-09-16/pdf/2013-22458.pdf
Reminder for HUD and PBCA offices processing rent increases using Auto OCAF:
Once the 2014 Factors are updated in iREMS, please delete any Amend Rents record effective 02/11/2014 and beyond that was created either automatically or manually with the old 2013 Factor. A new record will automatically generate with the new 2014 Factor.
