PART III: WAITING LIST MANAGEMENT TPS-III. A. HCV WAITING LIST The regulation that requires the PHA to admit applicants as waiting list admissions or special admissions in accordance with admission policies in Chapter 4 does not apply to PHAs operating the EHV program. Direct referrals are not added to the PHA's HCV waiting list. The PHA must inform families on the HCV waiting list of the availability of EHVs by, at a minimum, either by posting the information to their website or providing public notice in their respective communities in accordance with the requirements listed in Notice PIH 2O21-15. PHA Policv The PHA will post information about the EHV program for families on the PHA's HCV waiting list on their website. The notice will: Describe the eligible populations to which EHVs are limited Clearly state that the availability of these EHVs is managed through a direct referral process Advise the family to contact the CoC (or any other PHA referral partner, if applicable) if the family believes they may be eligible for EHV assistance The PHA will ensure effective communication with persons with disabilities, including those with vision, hearing, and other communication -related disabilities in accordance with Chapter 2. The PHA will also take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access for persons with linuted English proficiency (LEP) in accordance with Chapter 2 by translating this information into Spanish and Vietnamese. TPS-III.B. EHV WAITING LIST The HCV regulations requiring the PHA to operate a single waiting list for admission to the HCV program do not apply to PHAs operating the EHV program. Instead, when the number of applicants referred by the CoC or partnering agency exceeds the EHVs available, the PHA must maintain a separate waiting list for EHV referrals, both at initial leasing and for any turnover vouchers that may be issued prior to September 30, 2023. Further, the EHV waiting list is not subject to PHA policies in Chapter 4 regarding opening and closing the HCV waiting list. The PHA will work directly with its CoC and other referral agency partners to manage the number of referrals and the size of the EHV waiting list. City Council Page TSP31— 47 Adniin7�� pfiti21
