federalUnited StatesSection 811 Project Rental Assistance Programtenant_selection

Assisted units are filled only from grantee referrals, and only with members of the grantee's target population who are 18 or over and under 62 at move-in

s811pra.tenant_selection.grantee_referral_target_population_and_age_range · v1.0.0

The owner screens eligible families only from among those referred to it by the grantee or the grantee's designee, and does so in accordance with a grantee-approved tenant selection plan and the nondiscrimination requirements of 24 CFR 5.105. The families housed must be consistent with the grantee's Cooperative Agreement, its Program Description and its Inter-Agency Partnership Agreement. Every participant must be at least 18 and under 62 at the time of move-in, have a disability as defined under 42 U.S.C. 8013(k)(2) and 24 CFR 891.305, be extremely low-income, be a member of the grantee's target population as set out in the applicable Cooperative Agreement, and be eligible for community-based long-term care services as described in the Inter-Agency Partnership Agreement.

Owners used to project-based Section 8 look for a PHA waiting list here and there is not one. The waiting list is the grantee's, applicants usually reach it through the state health and human services or Medicaid agency rather than through the property, and the owner's role is screening a referral it did not generate.
