EXHIBIT 2 activities. j. The MOU must address PHA responsibilities, as outlined in (1) through (8) below. 1. Accept families and youth certified by the PCWA as eligible for the FUP. The PHA, upon receipt of the PCWA list of families and youth, must compare the names with those of families and youth already on the PHA's HCV waiting list. Any family or youth on the PHA's HCV waiting list that matches with the PCWA's list must be assisted in order of their position on the waiting list in accordance with PHA admission policies. Any family or youth certified by the PCWA as eligible and not on the HCV waiting list must be placed on the waiting list (pending HCV eligibility determination). If the PHA has a closed HCV waiting list, it must reopen the waiting list and place on the waiting list a FUP applicant family or youth who is not currently on the PHA's HCV waiting list. The PHA may reopen the waiting list to accept a FUP applicant family or youth without opening the waiting list for other applicants; 2. Determine if families with children, or youth age 18 through 24 referred by the PCWA are eligible for HCV assistance. 3. Determine if any families with children, or youth age 18 through 24 on its HCV waiting list are living in temporary shelters or otherwise meet the definition of homeless and may qualify for the FUP, and refer such applicants to the PCWA; 4. Amend the administrative plan in accordance with applicable program regulations and requirements, if needed; 5. Administer the vouchers in accordance with applicable program regulations and requirements; 6. Comply with the provisions of the MOU; 7. Upon notification that vouchers have been awarded, train PCWA and CoC staff on the PHA's HCV procedures; and 8. Conduct regular meetings (at least quarterly) with the PCWA and CoC(s). k. The MOU must address PCWA responsibilities as outlined in (1) through (8) below. 1. Establish and implement a system to identify FUP-eligible families and FUP-eligible youth within the agency's caseload and to review referrals from the PHA and CoC(s). For families, the system should prioritize families with an open case with a substantiated report of child abuse and neglect and whose children are at high risk for out -of -home placement or, for families whose children are already in out -of -home care, at high risk for experiencing additional negative child welfare outcomes (e.g., long-term open cases, reentry to the child welfare system in the form of re -reports of abuse or neglect, and repeat open cases) and where housing assistance could help the parent(s) to stabilize and participate in any other services necessary for subsequent reunification. The MOU should clarify that referrals should be made for priority families as soon as they are identified and not only upon successful completion of other aspects of families' case management plans. 2. Establish and implement a system to identify FUP-eligible youth not currently within the agency's caseload in cooperation with the CoC(s), including integrating the prioritization and referral process for FUP-eligible youth into the local CoC(s)' coordinaed entry process. 14 of 45 3-26
