The following supporting documentation must be submitted to HUD with the proposed homeownership program, as appropriate for the particular program:

(8) A bond for repairs or proof of insurance to cover any damage to the property during the period of PRE ownership and operation;

(9) Such other materials as may be required by HUD.

(b) Physical assessment. An assessment of the physical condition of the properties, based on the standards specified in §906.7;

(c) Feasibility. A statement demonstrating the practical feasibility of the program, based on analysis of data on such elements as purchase prices, costs of repair or rehabilitation, accessibility costs, if applicable, homeownership costs, family incomes, availability of financing, and the extent to which there are eligible residents who are expected to be interested in purchase (See §906.45(a));

A statement of the commitment and capability of the PHA (and any other entity with substantial responsibility for implementing the homeownership program) to successfully carry out the homeownership program. The statement must describe the PHA's (and other entity's) past experience in carrying out homeownership programs for low-income families, and (if applicable) its reasons for considering such programs to have been successful. A PHA that has not previously implemented a homeownership program for low-income families instead must submit a statement describing its experience in carrying out public housing modernization and development projects under part 905 of this title, respectively;

(e) Nondiscrimination certification. The PHA's or PRE's certification that it will administer the plan on a nondiscriminatory basis, in accordance with the Fair Housing Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 11063, other authorities cited in §5.105(a) of this title, and the implementing regulations, and will assure compliance with those requirements by any other entity that may assume substantial responsibilities for implementing the program;

(f) Legal opinion. An opinion by legal counsel to the PHA, stating that counsel has reviewed the program and finds it consistent with all applicable requirements of federal, state, and local law, including regulations as well as statutes. At a minimum, the attorney must certify that the documents to be used will ensure sales only to eligible families under §906.15, compliance with the 5-year PRE sale guarantee in §906.19(d), and compliance with the restriction of use of resale proceeds of §906.27;

(g) Board resolution. A resolution by the PHA's Board of Commissioners, evidencing its approval of the program;

(i) Other information. Any other information that may reasonably be required for HUD review of the program. Except for the PHA-HUD implementing agreement under §906.49 and the deed restriction required by §906.39(n), HUD approval is not required for documents to be prepared and used by the PHA in implementing the program (such as contracts, applications, deeds, mortgages, promissory notes, and cooperative or condominium documents), if their essential terms and conditions are described in the program. Consequently, those documents need not be submitted as part of the program or the supporting documentation.
