Administrative Plan 4/1/16 Page 4-3 <br />Limited English Proficiency <br />PHAs are required to take reasonable steps to ensure equal access to their programs and activities <br />by persons with limited English proficiency [24 CFR 1]. Chapter 2 provides a full discussion on <br />SAHA’s policies related to ensuring access to people with limited English proficiency (LEP). <br /> <br />4-I.D. PLACEMENT ON THE WAITING LIST <br />SAHA must review each complete application received and make a preliminary assessment of <br />the family’s eligibility. SAHA must accept applications from families for whom the list is open <br />unless there is good cause for not accepting the application (such as denial of assistance) for the <br />grounds stated in the regulations [24 CFR 982.206(b)(2)]. Where the family is determined to be <br />ineligible, SAHA must notify the family in writing [24 CFR 982.201(f)]. Where the family is not <br />determined to be ineligible, the family will be placed on a Waiting List of applicants. <br />No applicant has a right or entitlement to be listed on the Waiting List, or to any particular <br />position on the Waiting List [24 CFR 982.202(c)]. <br />Ineligible for Placement on the Waiting List <br />SAHA Policy <br />If SAHA can determine from the information provided that a family is ineligible, the <br />family will not be placed on the Waiting List. Where a family is determined to be <br />ineligible, SAHA will send written notification of the ineligibility determination. The <br />notice will specify the reasons for ineligibility, and will inform the family of its right to <br />request an informal review and explain the process for doing so (see Chapter 16). <br />Eligible for Placement on the Waiting List <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will send written notification of the preliminary eligibility and placement on the <br />Waiting List. Placement on the Waiting List does not indicate that the family is, in fact, <br />eligible for assistance. A final determination of eligibility will be made when the family <br />is selected from the Waiting List. Applicants will be placed on the Waiting List according <br />to any preference(s) for which they claimed. <br />SAHA has the option of limiting the number of applications accepted and/or performing <br />a lottery in preference categories. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3-105
