Eligibility, Selection and Admissions Policies, including Deconcentration and <br />Waiting List Procedures <br />Recommendations: 1) Speed up the filtering process/review/approving process <br />of housing applications. 2) People that are already on housing should not be <br />able to apply for housing since they’ve already received housing assistance- <br />should be filtered out at the onset. 3) Change the waiting list priorities. Priority <br />should be given to senior citizens, disabled persons. 4) The waiting list should <br />be open more often. <br /> <br />d.
