Submit a PHA Vacancy Claim Request Form no sooner than the last day of the month
following the move-out date. The Vacancy Claim Request Form will be accepted for 14
calendar days from the move out date.
If a unit remains vacant for more than 120 days from the day on which the vacancy notification
is received, the PHA will remove it from the PBV contract.
Participant Rights and Responsibilities
Admission, tenant rent contributions, tenancy, annual reexaminations, and Housing Quality
Standards and policies for participants will be governed by 24 CFR Parts 982, 983 and this
Administrative Plan.
All families living in units under a PBV contract and the PHA must sign a Statement of Family
Responsibility. The Statement of Family Responsibility must contain all family obligations
including the family’s participation in a supportive services plan if applicable.
Voucher issuance and portability are restricted while the family participates in the project-based
voucher program. Tenants that wish to vacate the property may request a voucher to convert to
the tenant-based program after residing in the project-based unit for at least one year.
If a voucher is not available, the family receives priority for the next available voucher.
The family must give the owner advance written notice (in accordance with the terms of the
lease) of intent to vacate. If the family terminates the assisted lease before the end of one year, it
relinquishes the opportunity for the continued tenant-based assistance at that time. Voucher
holders must comply with HUD’s list of family obligations and Administrative Plan
requirements.
The PHA will annually monitor the excepted family’s continued participation in the supportive
services plan at the family’s annual recertification. The PHA will require case management
reports from the property owner indicating the family’s continued compliance with the terms of
the supportive services plan. At the PHA’s discretion, it may request additional documentation
of compliance with supportive service obligations.
