14.1General BusinessREPORT - UPDATE TO HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN TO ADOPT A PREFERENCE TO ALLOW EMERGENCY HOUSING VOUCHER PARTICIPANTS TO TRANSITION TO THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM BACKGROUND: The Administrative Plan is the major policy document guiding the ongoing administration of the federally regulated Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program. Where allowed under law, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) permits local jurisdictions to establish policies pertaining to the program. Revisions to the Administrative Plan must be adopted by the Housing Authority. The proposed change to the Administrative Plan is a necessary step to address the expiration of the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program and prevent participating families from losing their housing assistance. The change will open the HCV waiting list only to current EHV participants whose housing assistance is at risk of termination due to lack of program funding and create a two-tiered waiting list preference that gives EHV families with a head of household, spouse or co-head who is elderly or disabled first preference and all other EHV families second preference. RECOMMENDATION: The Department of Housing and Community Services recommends that the Housing Authority, by resolution, adopt changes to the Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plan Chapter 4 - Applications, Waiting List and Tenant Selection to adopt a preference that will allow Emergency Housing Voucher participants to transition to the Housing Choice Voucher program.
