Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 4-11 PART III: SELECTION FOR HCV ASSISTANCE 4-III.A. OVERVIEW As vouchers become available, families on the waiting list must be selected for assistance in accordance with the policies described in this part. The order in which families are selected from the waiting list depends on the selection method chosen by the PHA and is impacted in part by any selection preferences for which the family qualifies. The availability of targeted funding also may affect the order in which families are selected from the waiting list. The PHA must maintain a clear record of all information required to verify that the family is selected from the waiting list according to the PHA’s selection policies [24 CFR 982.204(b) and 982.207(e)]. 4-III.B. SELECTION AND HCV FUNDING SOURCES Special Admissions [24 CFR 982.203] HUD may award funding for specifically-named families living in specified types of units (e.g., a family that is displaced by demolition of public housing; a non-purchasing family residing in a HOPE 1 or 2 projects). In these cases, the PHA may admit such families whether or not they are on the waiting list, and, if they are on the waiting list, without considering the family’s position on the waiting list. These families are considered non-waiting list selections. The PHA must maintain records showing that such families were admitted with special program funding. Targeted Funding [24 CFR 982.204(e)] HUD may award a PHA funding for a specified category of families on the waiting list. The PHA must use this funding only to assist the families within the specified category. In order to assist families within a targeted funding category, the PHA may skip families that do not qualify within the targeted funding category. Within this category of families, the order in which such families are assisted is determined according to the policies provided in Section 4-III.C. SAHA Policy SAHA administers the following types of targeted funding: Foster Youth to Independence (FYI) Program Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program (VASH) Mainstream Voucher Program (MVP) Non-Elderly Disabled (NED) Emergency Housing Vouchers (EHV) Regular HCV Funding Regular HCV funding may be used to assist any eligible family on the waiting list.
