SAHA Policv <br />SAHA will not merge the HCV Waiting List with the waiting list for any other program <br />they operate. <br />4-II.C. OPENING AND CLOSING THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.206] <br />Closing the Waiting List <br />A PHA is permitted to close the Waiting List if it has an adequate pool of families to use its <br />available HCV assistance. Alternatively, SAHA may elect to continue to accept applications only <br />from certain categories of families that meet particular preferences or funding criteria. <br />SAHA Policv <br />SAHA may close the Waiting List when the estimated waiting period for housing <br />assistance for applicants on the list exceeds 24 months or may open for a limited <br />timeframe. Where SAHA has particular preferences or funding criteria that require a <br />specific category of family, SAHA may elect to continue to accept applications from <br />these applicants while closing the Waiting List to others. <br />SAHA may determine after reviewing the community need and available funding that it <br />may be beneficial for the Waiting List to remain open indefinitely or for the Waiting List <br />to remain open for special purpose vouchers or specific preferences. <br />Reopening the Waiting List <br />If the Waiting List has been closed, it cannot be reopened until SAHA publishes a notice in local <br />newspapers of general circulation, minority media, and other suitable media outlets. The notice <br />must comply with HUD fair housing requirements and must specify who may apply, and where <br />and when applications will be received. <br />SAHA Policv <br />SAHA will announce the reopening of the Waiting List through a public notice prior to <br />the date applications will first be accepted. If the list is only being reopened for certain <br />categories of families, this information will be contained in the notice. <br />SAHA will give public notice by publishing the relevant information in suitable media <br />outlets including, but not limited to: The Orange County Register, Miniondas, La <br />Opinion, Unidos, and Nguoi Viet newspaper. Other publications may be used if it is <br />determined that it would be beneficial in reaching specific populations. <br />Page 4-5 Administrative Plan 4/i/168/6/2024 <br />
