Exhibit 3-14: Section 236 With Benefit of Additional Assistance – Special Instructions for Determining Prorated Assistance Payment and Prorated Total Tenant Payment/Tenant Rent for Families Subject to Proration Procedures Regarding the Restriction on Assistance to Noncitizens

D. Assets Owned Jointly

HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 — Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs · 2026 edition · updated 2026-10-05 · United States

  1. If assets are owned by more than one person, prorate the assets according to the percentage of ownership. If no percentage is specified or provided by a state or local law, prorate the assets evenly among all owners.

  2. If an asset is not effectively owned by an individual, do not count it as an asset. An asset is not effectively owned when the asset is held in an individual’s name, but (a) the asset and any income it earns accrue to the benefit of someone else who is not a member of the family, and (b) that other person is responsible for income taxes incurred on income generated by the assets.

  3. Determining which individuals have ownership of an asset requires collecting as much information as is available and making the best judgment possible based on that information.
