Form DD 214 with an Honorable Discharge, or equivalent verification, must be provided at the time of orientation. Graduates of Transitional Housing Preference -- Graduates of transitional housing programs whose agency has entered into a MOU with SAHA to provide one year of support services to the participants after lease-up, not to exceed ten (10) vouchers per fiscal year. Additionally, SAHA will offer priority to any family that has been terminated from its HCV program due to insufficient program funding. SAHA will accept direct referrals to the HCV Program for the following: Homeless individuals/families who are referred by a local agency who provides services to the homeless and who enters into an MOU with SAHA to provide services to support success in the HCV Program. The direct referrals will not exceed 50 per calendar year. Income Targeting Requirement \[24 CFR 982.201(b)(2)\] HUD requires that extremely low-income (ELI) families make up at least 75% of the families admitted to the HCV program during the PHA incomes at or below 30% of the area median income. To ensure this requirement is met, a PHA may skip non-ELI families on the waiting list in order to select an ELI family. Housing Act \[24 CFR 982.4(b)\], as well as low-income or moderate-income families admitted to the program that are displaced as a result of the prepayment of the mortgage or voluntary termination of an insurance contract on eligible low-income housing, are not counted for income targeting purposes \[24 CFR 982.201(b)(2)(v)\]. SAHA Policy SAHA will monitor progress in meeting the ELI requirement throughout the fiscal year. Extremely low-income families will be selected ahead of other eligible families on an as- needed basis to ensure the income targeting requirement is met. Order of Selection The PHA system of preferences will select families based on local preferences according to the date and time of application or by a random selection process (lottery) \[24 CFR 982.207©\]. If a PHA does not have enough funding to assist the family at the top of the waiting list, it is not permitted to skip down the waiting list to a family that it can afford to subsidize when there are not sufficient funds to subsidize the family at the top of the waiting list \[24 CFR 982.204(d) and (e)\].
