2013 CMHA HCVP Admin Plan - Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing ...

A point system will be used to prioritize families from the waiting lists:
HUD Directed Special Admissions 40 points
Displaced Public Housing Resident Admissions 40 points
Victims of Natural Disasters 40 points
Project-Based in-place families 40 points
Money Follows the Person/Ohio Home Choice 40 points
Moderate Rehabilitation 30 points
Gateway (up to 1,308 vouchers) 20 points
Cuyahoga County Residency Preference 10 points
Intergenerational Housing Project-Based Site-Based Waiting List 10 points
Permanent Supportive Housing Project-Based Site-Based Waiting List 10 points
Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Moderate Rehabilitation Site-Based Waiting List 10
points
Targeted funding applicants will be identified and verified as funding becomes available.
All applicants on the waiting list who are regular waiting list admissions will be organized in the
random order assigned by the computer. The computer generated number serves as a date and
time of application and is used as a tiebreaker in cases where families hold an equal preference.
For Gateway, the date and time of application will serve as the tiebreaker.
H. REMOVAL FROM WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.204(c)]
The Waiting List may be updated as deemed necessary by the Manager of Applications and
Contracting by a mailing to all applicants to ensure that the waiting list is current and accurate.
The mailing will ask for confirmation of continued interest.
Any mailings to the applicant which require a response will state that failure to respond within
30 days will result in the applicant's name being withdrawn from the waiting list. If the family
contacts the office within 30 days of the removal, they will be granted an informal review of the
decision.
An extension to respond will be granted, if requested and needed as a reasonable accommodation
for a person with a disability. If the applicant did not respond to the PHA request for
information or updates because of a family member's disability, the PHA will reinstate the
applicant to the family's former position on the waiting list.
If a letter is returned by the Post Office without a forwarding address, the applicant will be
removed without further notice, and the envelope and letter will be maintained in the file.
