unique to the PBV program. This part describes the requirements and policies related to eligibility and admission to the PBV program. 17-VI.B.ELIGIBILITY FOR PBV ASSISTANCE \[24 CFR 983.251(a) and (b)\] The PHA will select families for the PBV program from those who are participants in tenant-based voucher program and from those who have applied for admission to the voucher program. For voucher participants, eligibility was determined at original admission to the voucher program and does not need to be redetermined at the commencement of PBV assistance. For all others, eligibility for admission must be determined at the commencement of PBV assistance. Applicants for PBV assistance must meet the same eligibility requirements as applicants for the tenant-based voucher program. Applicants must qualify as a family as defined by HUD and PHA, have income at or below HUD-specified income limits, and qualify on the basis of citizenship or the eligible immigration status of family members \[24 CFR 982.201(a) and 24 CFR 983.2(a)\]. In addition, an applicant family must provide social security information for family members \[24 CFR 5.216 and 5.218\] and consent to the PHA family information regarding income, expenses, and family composition \[24 CFR 5.230\]. An applicant family must also meet HUD requirements related to current or past criminal activity.

In-Place Families \[24 CFR 983.251(b)\] An eligible family residing in a proposed PBV contract unit on the date the proposal is selected - displacement under the PBV rule. If a unit to be placed under contract (either an existing unit or a unit requiring rehabilitation) is occupied by an eligible family on the date the proposal is selected, the in- continued eligibility is determined (the PHA may deny assistance to an in-place family for the grounds specified in 24 CFR 982.552 and 982.553), the family must be given an absolute selection preference and the PHA must refer these families to the project owner for an appropriately sized PBV unit in the project. Admission of eligible in-place families is not subject to income targeting requirements. 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 \[24 CFR 9983.251(C)\] The PHA may establish a separate waiting list for PBV units or it may use the same waiting list for both tenant-based and PBV assistance.
