Please provide the current approved Erie Rental Supplement Program plan and applicable OTDA directive, including its household-size/bedroom FMR schedule, income schedule and calculation method. The original editable Appendix A and Appendix B files, current quarterly-report workbook, and application/award/denial/recertification templates or public download links would be very useful. 26-LCM-06 2026-2027 New York State Rental Supplement Program Allocations Appendix A Appendix B Rental Supplement Program (RSP) Application Rental Supplement Program (RSP) Landlord Enrollment Rental Supplement Program (RSP) Decision Rental Supplement Program (RSP) Landlord Notice Household-size/bedroom FMR schedule https://www.huduser.gov/datasets/fmr/fmr2027/summary?counties=3602999999&reportty pe=county&states=36&year=2027&sa_override=1 2025-2026 Rental Supplement Program Simplified Quarterly Report - 25-LCM-04 Attachment D Income Schedule: 2. Page 7 says the supplement ends when household income reaches 30% or more of monthly rent. OTDA 25-LCM-04, page 3, instead says monthly rent must be 30% or less of total monthly household income. Please confirm the intended affordability rule for this procurement. Does the 50% AMI limit apply at initial application only, and which income/affordability criteria apply at annual recertification and household changes? Supplements are to be provided until a household’s total monthly rent is 30% or less than their total monthly income. 3. Appendix B, Table 3, measures administrative overhead against direct programme costs. Page 3 separately caps administration at 15% of the allocation and reserves 2% for county administration. Please confirm how the county reserve and vendor cap should be combined, and which allocation/programme period should be used for services beginning April 2027. We have retained the printed $3,874,568 allocation and $3,797,076 vendor amount. Total funding available to the vendor is $3,797,076. Vendor administrative costs may not exceed $503,693. 4. Will the County be awarding it to one agency or partnership of agencies DSS will contract with one agency, but agencies may collaborate and submit one proposal. 5.
