The applicant’s present dwelling unit may qualify if the unit meets the Housing Choice Voucher Program Housing Quality Standards and the landlord is willing to participate in the program. Types of shared housing include single room occupancy, shared housing, congregate housing, cooperative housing or group home. Shared housing as currently approved in federal regulations will be eligible if required as an accommodation for an individual with a disability. Family members under this rule include parents, children, sisters, brothers, grandparents, and grandchildren. A participant is not allowed to rent a unit under the program from a family member. Types of housing that may be leased through the Housing Choice Voucher Program are single-family, duplex, triplex, fourplex, garden apartments, townhouses, high-rises, manufactured homes where the tenant leases the mobile home and the pad, and manufactured homes where the tenant owns the mobile home and leases the pad. Participants are not limited to specific areas. The Housing Authority does not own property for the use of the Housing Voucher Program. At that time, the tenant is given authorization to move into the unit. The Housing Authority will also execute Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts directly with the owner. When the unit and tenancy are approved by the Housing Authority, contracts are executed between the tenant and Housing Authority. The Housing Authority will review the request and inspect the unit to ensure that the unit meets HUD Housing Quality Standards (decent, safe and sanitary) and meets rent reasonableness. Once a suitable housing is located, the head of household submits a Request for Tenancy Approval. Eligible persons are issued a voucher which gives them 60 days to locate a suitable housing. When a voucher becomes available, applicants will be scheduled for the enrollment interview with an Occupancy Specialist who will review household income to determine the portion, if any, that an applicant may have to contribute monthly for rent and utilities. The Housing Authority will notify applicants when their name nears the top of the waiting list. The Housing Choice Voucher Program is designed to help low-income persons afford decent, safe, and sanitary housing.
