PART III: SELECTION FOR HCV ASSISTANCE 4-III.A. OVERVIEW As vouchers become available, families on the waiting list must be selected for assistance in accordance with the policies described in this part. The order in which families receive assistance from the waiting list depends on the selection method chosen by SARA and is impacted in part by any selection preferences for which the family qualifies. The source of HCV funding also may affect the order in which families are selected from the waiting list. SARA must maintain a clear record of all information required to verify that the family is selected from the waiting list according to SAHA's selection policies [24 CFR 982.204(b) and 982.207(e)] . 4-III.B. SELECTION AND HCV FUNDING SOURCES Special Admissions [24 CFR 982.203] HUD may award funding for specifically-named families living in specified types of units (e.g., a family that is displaced by demolition of public housing; anon-purchasing family residing in a HOPE 1 or 2 proj ects). In these cases, SARA may admit families that are not on the waiting list, or without considering the family's position on the waiting list. SAHA must maintain records showing that such families were admitted with special program funding. Targeted Funding [24 CFR 982.204(e)] HUD may award a PHA funding for a specified category of families on the waiting list. SARA must use this funding only to assist the families within the specified category. Within this category of families, the order in which such families are assisted is determined according to the policies provided in Section 4-III.C. Regular HCV Funding Regular HCV funding may be used to assist any eligible family on the waiting list. Families are selected from the waiting list according to the policies provided in Section 4-III.C. 4-III.C. SELECTION METHOD PHAs must describe the method for selecting applicant families from the waiting list, including the system of admission preferences that SARA will use [24 CFR 982.202(4)]. Local Preferences [24 CFR 982.207; HCV p. 4-16] PHAs are permitted to establish local preferences, and to give priority to serving families that meet those criteria. HUD specifically authorizes and places restrictions on certain types of local preferences. HUD also permits SARA to establish other local preferences, at its discretion. Any local preferences established must be consistent with SAHA plan and the consolidated plan, and must be based on local housing needs and priorities that can be documented by generally accepted data sources. All preferences must be applicable and verifiable at the time of selection from the waiting list. ~~02~12 Page 4-7
