ORIENTATION As funds become available to issue Vouchers, SARA may invite families and individuals on the Waiting List to attend an Orientation. The purpose of the Orientation is to: ~ Verify that the family meets the preference qualification. This means that the family is being called from the Waiting List in the proper order. If a family is invited to attend an Orientation based on a preference stated on the Waiting List application and the family no longer meets the preference, the family will be placed back on the Waiting List. • Provide the family with information on documents and forms they will need to bring to the eligibility interview. • Explain the important features of the Housing Choice Voucher Program. ~ Set up an appointment for the family to come back with all the required forms and information. This appointment is aone-on-one meeting with a Housing Specialist referred to as an Eligibility Interview. The Santa Ana Housing Authority offers Orientations in three languages: English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. If a family does not speak or understand one of the three languages listed the family will be asked to locate an interpreter. If the family requests an interpreter be provided as a reasonable accommodation, SARA will make every effort to supply one. Orientations can be presented at off site locations as a reasonable accommodation. During the Orientation SARA provides several forms and documents for the family to review and/or sign and submit to SARA. The chart on the following page lists all the forms and documents given to the family at the Orientation and the required action associated with each form. ~~02~12 Page 4-9
