Administrative Plan 4/1/2016 Page 17-24 This regulatory protection from displacement does not apply to families that are not eligible to participate in the program on the proposal selection date. 17-VI.C. ORGANIZATION OF THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 983.251(c)] SAHA may establish a separate waiting list for PBV units or it may use the same waiting list for both tenant-based and PBV assistance. SAHA may also merge the PBV waiting list with a waiting list for other assisted housing programs offered by SAHA. If SAHA chooses to offer a separate waiting list for PBV assistance, SAHA must offer to place applicants who are listed on the tenant-based waiting list on the waiting list for PBV assistance. If SAHA decides to establish a separate PBV waiting list, SAHA may use a single waiting list for SAHA’s whole PBV program, or it may establish separate waiting lists for PBV units in particular projects or buildings or for sets of such units. SAHA Policy SAHA will establish and manage separate site-based waiting lists for individual projects that are receiving PBV assistance. 17-VI.D. SELECTION FROM THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 983.251(c)] Applicants who will occupy units with PBV assistance must be selected from SAHA’s waiting list. SAHA may establish selection criteria or preferences for occupancy of particular PBV units. SAHA may place families referred by the PBV owner on its PBV waiting list. Income Targeting [24 CFR 983.251(c)(6)] At least 75 percent of the families admitted to SAHA’s tenant-based and project-based voucher programs during SAHA fiscal year from the waiting list must be extremely-low income families. The income targeting requirement applies to the total of admissions to both programs. Units with Accessibility Features [24 CFR 983.251(c)(7)] When selecting families to occupy PBV units that have special accessibility features for persons with disabilities, SAHA must first refer families who require such features to the owner. Preferences [24 CFR 983.251(d), FR Notice 11/24/08] SAHA may use the same selection preferences that are used for the tenant-based voucher program, establish selection criteria or preferences for the PBV program as a whole, or for occupancy of particular PBV developments or units. SAHA must provide an absolute selection preference for eligible in-place families as described in Section 17-VI.B. above. Although SAHA is prohibited from granting preferences to persons with a specific disability, SAHA may give preference to disabled families who need services offered at a particular project or site if the preference is limited to families (including individuals): 3-412
