Santa Ana Housing Authority Request for Proposals for Permanent Supportive Housing Page 11 In-Place Families The term “in-place family” means an eligible family residing in a proposed contract unit on the proposal selection date. If a proposal is submitted that includes in-place families, the proposal will still be eligible with the understanding that when the unit becomes vacant households with individuals or families who qualify as homeless as certified by the Orange County Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry System will be moved into the unit. In order to minimize displacement of in-place families, if a unit to be placed under contract that is either an existing unit or one requiring rehabilitation is occupied by an eligible family on the proposal selection date, the in-place family must be placed on SAHA’s waiting list (if the family is not already on the list) and, once its continued eligibility is determined, given an absolute selection preference and referred to the project owner for an appropriately sized PBV unit in the project. U.S. Military Veterans Bonus One of the four key goals of the federal government is to prevent and end homelessness among Veterans by December 31st, 2015. Projects that dedicate project-based voucher units to U.S. Military Veterans will receive bonus points. III. OWNER REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES i.
