The direct referrals will not exceed 50 per calendar year.All preferences must be applicable and verifiable at the time of selection from the waiting list. Income Targeting Requirement [24 CFR 982.201(b)(2)] HUD requires that extremely low-income (ELI) families make up at least 75% of the families admitted to the HCV program during the PHA’s fiscal year. ELI families are those with annual incomes at or below 30% of the area median income. To ensure this requirement is met, a PHA may skip non-ELI families on the waiting list in order to select an ELI family. Low income families admitted to the program that are “continuously assisted” under the 1937 Housing Act [24 CFR 982.4(b)], as well as low-income or moderate-income families admitted to the program that are displaced as a result of the prepayment of the mortgage or voluntary termination of an insurance contract on eligible low-income housing, are not counted for income targeting purposes [24 CFR 982.201(b)(2)(v)]. SAHA Policy SAHA will monitor progress in meeting the income targeting requirement throughout the fiscal year. Extremely low-income families will be selected ahead of other eligible families on an as-needed basis to ensure the income targeting requirement is met. Order of Selection The PHA system of preferences will select families based on local preferences according to date and time of application or by a random selection process (lottery) [24 CFR 982.207©]. If a PHA does not have enough funding to assist the family at the top of the waiting list, it is not permitted to skip down the waiting list to a family that it can afford to subsidize when there are not sufficient funds to subsidize the family at the top of the waiting list [24 CFR 982.204(d) and (e)]. SAHA Policy Families will be selected from the waiting list based on the targeted funding or selection preference(s) for which they qualify, and in accordance with SAHA’s hierarchy of preferences, if applicable. Within each targeted funding or preference category, families will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis according to the date and time their complete application is received by SAHA or by assigned lottery number (score), if lottery was performed when placed on the wait list. Documentation will be maintained by SAHA as to whether families on the list qualify for and are interested in targeted funding.
