The following are examples of types of program funding that may be designated by HUD for
families living in a specified unit type:
A family displaced because of demolition or disposition of a Public or Indian Housing
project;
A family residing in a multifamily rental housing project when HUD sells, forecloses or
demolishes the project;
For housing covered by the Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident
Homeownership Act of 1990;
A family residing in a project covered by a project-based HAP contract at or near the end
of the HAP contract term or the owner opts-out or pre-pays;
Applicants, who are admitted under Special Admissions, rather than from the waiting list, are
identified by codes in the automated system and are not maintained on separate lists.
D. OTHER ADMISSIONS
Relocating Public Housing Resident Admissions: When HUD does not award special funding
for CMHA public housing residents relocating because of demolition or disposition of public
housing units, relocating residents may be offered Housing Choice Vouchers. When this occurs,
the waiting list will be opened in accordance with the requirements enumerated in Chapter 3.
Gateway: The PHA will make up to 1,308 vouchers available for tenant-based assistance for
families engaged with Gateway Advisory Board (GAB) member agencies. GAB is a group of
agencies representing social service providers who serve disabled families.
The PHA will advertise the opening and closing of the waiting list for the Gateway program in
accordance with the requirements enumerated in Chapter 3. When vouchers are available for the
Gateway program, Gateway families will be assigned preference points in accordance with this
chapter of the Administrative Plan, and issued a voucher, if eligible. When a family is selected
for the Gateway program, the PHA will search its voucher waiting list to determine whether the
family’s name is already on the waiting list. If the referred family’s name is already on the PHA
waiting list, its name will be removed when it receives a voucher through the Gateway program,
and the family will be counted against the 1,308 vouchers.
Victims of Natural Disasters: The PHA may open its waiting list for victims of natural
disasters. The PHA will announce the opening of the waiting list for victims of natural disasters
in accordance with the requirements enumerated in Chapter 3.With proper documentation,
families who are victims of a natural disaster are eligible to be added to the waiting list and
receive a waiting list preference of 40 points. Natural disasters include, but are not limited to
