This packet details all of the Housing Quality Standards that landlords must abide by to ensure they meet the minimum criteria necessary for the health and safety of program participants. Project-based vouchers provide rental housing assistance to low-income households in privately owned and managed rental units. The rental subsidy stays with the building. When the assisted tenant moves out, the rental assistance remains with the building for the next eligible occupant.

Documenting information is an important part of the process for providing you with housing assistance. Below are a few forms you should become familiar with.

This form is typically completed when you have found a unit in which you would like to reside and where the landlord is willing to rent the unit to you with HCV assistance. After completion, the form must be returned to DHA as quickly as possible. Upon receipt, DHA will start the process of determining if the unit you selected qualifies for the program. The Utility Allowance Schedule provides an estimate of the cost of tenant paid utilities by bedroom size and unit type.

The Utility Allowance schedule can be used with the Request for Tenancy Approval form to identify the estimate of tenant paid utilities at the selected dwelling unit. This schedule can be used to determine the estimate of tenant-paid utilities for a multifamily apartment, condominium or townhouse unit. The schedule can be used to determine the estimate of tenant-paid utilities for a single family or duplex unit. The Payment Standard is one of several variables in the HUD formula for calculating the amount of the monthly housing assistance payment to the landlord and the tenant share of the rent.

Qualified Walker Voucher participants are responsible to identify rental housing in areas of high opportunity.
