BRHP may provide damage loss payments equivalent to the lowest of two months of HAP or $2,000 per unit for owners to cover costs, beyond normal wear and tear, which are not covered by the security deposit, provided that the owner agrees to lease the unit to another BRHP client within 60 days from the date that the owner notifies BRHP of the damages. BRHP will not reimburse for tools needed to repair damages, landlord’s personal time to repair damages or other activities related to the claim, items allegedly stolen, or damages not represented in a move-in/out condition report. Requests for damage claims must be submitted within 30 days of the tenant vacating the unit or owner re-taking possession. BRHP may inspect the unit to validate the owner’s damage claim.
Requests for damage-repair funding may not exceed $2,000 per unit and will require invoices, documentation of repairs, and receipts at the time of submission. An owner may not receive more than $3,000 in damages claims from BRHP in a year. To be eligible for damages pool funds, properties will be required to be re-listed with BRHP for referral to BRHP voucher households.

BRHP may require mediation with a tenant and/or may request information from tenants in order to substantiate claim requests.
