EXHIBIT 1 <br />18-III.E. PREFERENCES [Notice PIH 2O24-301 <br />While PHAs may establish local preferences based on local housing needs and priorities in <br />accordance with 24 CFR 982.207(a), HCV regulations do not permit PHAs to establish separate <br />preferences for Mainstream voucher applicants. HUD waived 24 CFR 982.207(a)(1) and allows <br />PHAs to establish separate preferences for Mainstream voucher applicants. However, PHAs may <br />not apply a residency preference to Mainstream voucher applicants. <br />PHAs with outstanding Olmstead -related litigation or enforcement activities, as well as those <br />undertaking affirmative Olmstead planning and implementation efforts, who wish to establish <br />preferences that target individuals with specific disabilities must request HUD approval. The <br />process for requesting approval for a remedial preference targeting individuals with specific <br />disabilities is outlined in Notice PIH 2012-31. <br />Regardless of whether a PHA chooses to adopt separate Mainstream voucher preferences, if the <br />PHA claimed points for a preference in a NOFO application for Mainstream vouchers, the PHA <br />must adopt a preference for at least one of the targeted groups identified in the NOFO. PHAs <br />may choose to apply NOFO preferences to the entire HCV waiting list or only to Mainstream <br />voucher applicants as a separate Mainstream voucher preference. <br />PHAs may use either date and time of application or a drawing or other random choice technique <br />in selecting families from the Mainstream waiting list among applicants with the same <br />preference status in accordance with the PHA's administrative plan. <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will not offer any preferences on its Mainstream waiting list. <br />- 025 <br />City Council 5 — 891 7H5 2 25 <br />
