Chapter 13 – Special Programs 2. HAP Contract Expiration Upon expiration of a HAP contract, the owner will enter into a new HAP contract under the MTW program. 3. Program Goals Expand and stabilize the housing opportunities of homeless persons/families and increase their economic opportunities by providing supportive services and teaching independent living skills. 4. Owner Proposal Selection The owner proposal selection shall adhere to the same policies and procedures described previously in this Chapter. 5. Waiting List and Lease Up Complexes providing supportive services are permitted to self-refer applicants. The non-profit or for–profit owner must provide supportive services to a specified population. A specified population is defined as a group of people who must meet such specific criteria they could not be easily identified using the established SDHC waiting list. Such populations may include, but are not limited to Homeless individuals with AIDS or HIV, Victims of Domestic Violence, former Foster Care youth and/or recovering drug additions with more than one additional disability. Vacancies at Hollywood Palms will be referred from the regular SDHC Project-Based Waiting List. When the owner notifies SDHC of a vacant unit, the computer will randomly select the next 20 applicants from SDHC’s waiting list. Selected applicants will be notified of the opportunity to be considered for the vacant unit. If the owner is unable to find a suitable tenant from the initial referral list, SDHC will select the next 20 applicants within the preference category from the waiting list. SDHC (or designee) will conduct an interview to determine eligibility for the program. 6. PBV Waiting List Preferences SDHC PBV Waiting List will give a preference to homeless persons/families, the elderly, and persons with disabilities: - Homeless persons will receive a preference over non-homeless. - An applicant is considered homeless if the applicant lacks a fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence and can provide verification that their nighttime residence is: - A supervised publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations; or - A public or private place that provides temporary residence for individuals intended to be institutionalized (not incarcerated); or - A public or private place not designed for, or ordinarily used as, regular sleeping accommodations for human beings. Homeless applicants who meet the criteria described above must provide proof of homelessness. Examples of such proof include certification of homeless status from a public or private facility, including Transitional Housing, that provides shelter for such households; a copy of an arrest record for vagrancy or illegal lodging from the local police department; or other documentation that can be obtained from any social service agency that provides services to the homeless. 13-10
Chapter 13 – Special Programs Within each of the following categories, applicants will be served by the date and time of application based on the availability of site-specific supportive services: - Homeless Families - Victims of Domestic Violence - Homeless persons with disabilities - Homeless veterans - Homeless elderly persons - Homeless individuals - Persons with HIV/AIDS (homeless or non-homeless) - Non-homeless persons with disabilities - Non-homeless elderly persons 7. Conversion to Tenant Based Section 8 Assistance After a household has participated in the Project-Based Voucher program for at least 12 months, they may move from the assisted unit and retain federal housing assistance. SDHC will provide a household who leaves the Project-Based Voucher program after a one-year period with tenantbased assistance, if they are in good standing with SDHC and Section 8 requirements. Households who leave the Project-Based Voucher program before one year are not eligible for continued assistance. 8. Minimum Rent to Tenants Minimum rent to tenants under the Project-Based Voucher program is $25.00. SECTION 4: VETERANS AFFAIRS SUPPORTIVE HOUSING (VASH) The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act (the Act) enacted in 12/26/07, provided million of dollars of funding for the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) voucher program. HUD awarded funding for HUD-VASH vouchers and the funding was made available to public housing agencies (PHAs) that partner with eligible VA Medical Centers (VAMC) or other entities as designated by the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, based on geographical need for such assistance as identified by the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The HUD-VASH program combines HUD HCV rental assistance for homeless veterans with case management and clinical services provided by the Veterans Affairs at its medical centers and in the community. Generally, the HUD-VASH HCV program will be administered in accordance with regular HCV program requirements (24 CFR Section 982). However, the Act allows HUD to waive or specify alternative requirements for any provision of any statute or regulation that HUD administers in connection with this program in order to effectively deliver and administer HUD-VASH voucher assistance. In 2010 SDHC received a HUD waiver to administer the HUD-VASH vouchers similarly to MTW vouchers. The MTW fiscal year 2013 Annual Plan included the following policies designed specifically for the HUD-VASH vouchers: 13-11
