Contract Renewals
Contract Management Specialist (CMS) Department
The department was created to process all contract renewals and rent adjustments. To avoid delays in subsidy payments, contract renewal paperwork is due 120 days before contract expiration.
For MAHRA multi-year HAP Contracts, properties are entitled to an annual rent increase on their anniversary effective date. Navigate CMS will send a reminder letter 180 and 150 days before contract/funding expiration.
At 140 days before contract/funding expiration, CMS will begin sending weekly reminders of when the paperwork due.
The renewals section of our website contains everything needed to submit a contract renewal or rent adjustment request. Please contact Contract Management Specialist at renewals@navigatehousing.com with additional questions.
