APPLICATIONS, WAITING LIST AND TENANT SELECTION
INTRODUCTION
When a family wishes to receive assistance under the HCV program, the family must submit an application that provides the PHA with the information needed to determine the family’s eligibility.
HUD requires the PHA to place all families that apply for assistance on a waiting list. When HCV assistance becomes available, the PHA must select families from the waiting list in accordance with HUD requirements and PHA policies as stated in the administrative plan and the annual plan.
The PHA is required to adopt clear policies and procedures for accepting applications, placing families on the waiting list, and selecting families from the waiting list, and must follow these policies and procedures consistently. The actual order in which families are selected from the waiting list can be affected if a family has certain characteristics designated by HUD or the PHA that justify their selection. Examples of this are the selection of families for income targeting and the selection of families that qualify for targeted funding.
HUD regulations require that all families have an equal opportunity to apply for and receive housing assistance, and that the PHA affirmatively further fair housing goals in the administration of the program [24 CFR 982.53, HCV GB p. 4-1]. Adherence to the selection policies described in this chapter ensures that the PHA will be in compliance with all relevant fair housing requirements, as described in Chapter 2.
This chapter describes HUD and PHA policies for taking applications, managing the waiting list and selecting families for HCV assistance. The policies outlined in this chapter are organized into three sections, as follows:
Part I: The Application Process. This part provides an overview of the application process, and discusses how applicants can obtain and submit applications. It also specifies how the PHA will handle the applications it receives.
Part II: Managing the Waiting List. This part presents the policies that govern how the PHA’s waiting list is structured, when it is opened and closed, and how the public is notified of the opportunity to apply for assistance. It also discusses the process the PHA will use to keep the waiting list current.
Part III: Selection for HCV Assistance. This part describes the policies that guide the PHA in selecting families for HCV assistance as such assistance becomes available. It also specifies how in-person interviews will be used to ensure that the PHA has the information needed to make a final eligibility determination.
Adminplan 6/23/2026
PART I: THE APPLICATION PROCESS
4-I.A. OVERVIEW
This part describes the PHA policies for making applications available, accepting applications making preliminary determinations of eligibility, and the placement of applicants on the waiting list. This part also describes the PHA’s obligation to ensure the accessibility of the application process to elderly persons, people with disabilities, and people with limited English proficiency (LEP).
4-I.B. APPLYING FOR ASSISTANCE [HCV GB, pp. 4-11 – 4-16, Notice PIH 2009-36] Any family that wishes to receive HCV assistance must apply for admission to the program. HUD permits the PHA to determine the format and content of HCV applications, as well how such applications will be made available to interested families and how applications will be accepted by the PHA. The PHA must include Form HUD-92006, Supplement to Application for Federally Assisted Housing, as part of the PHA’s application.
PHA Policy
Depending upon the length of time that applicants may need to wait to receive assistance, the PHA may use a one- or two-step application process.
Applicants may access an application online only during specified times and dates when PHA will open the waiting list. Applications must be complete in order to be accepted by the PHA for processing. If an application is incomplete, the system used will prompt the applicant to complete the missing information in order for the application to be accepted.
Reasonable accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities and who are having trouble applying online. Waiting list applicants who are having difficulty accessing computers and mobile devices will be directed to the library, the Business and Career Centers at South Bay Workforce Investment Board, One-Stop facilities and the City of Hawthorne Senior Center at the Memorial Center.
The first phase is the "initial" application for assistance (referred to as a pre-application).
This first phase results in the family's placement on the waiting list. The pre-application will be dated, time-stamped, and referred to the PHA’s eligibility office where it will be maintained until such time as it is needed for processing.
The second phase is the "final determination of eligibility" (referred to as the full application). The full application takes place when the family reaches the top of the waiting list. At this time the PHA ensures that verifications of all HUD and PHA eligibility factors are current in order to determine the family's eligibility for the issuance of a voucher.
Duplicate applications, including applications from a segment of an applicant household, will not be accepted. Ineligible families will not be placed on the waiting list.
Pre-applications will not require an interview. The information on the application will not be verified until the applicant has been selected for final eligibility determination. Final Adminplan 6/23/2026
eligibility will be determined when the full application process is completed and all information is verified.
4-I.C. ACCESSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS
Elderly and Disabled Populations [24 CFR 8 and HCV GB, pp. 4-11 – 4-13] The PHA must take steps to ensure that the application process is accessible to those people who might have difficulty complying with the normal, standard PHA application process. This could include people with disabilities, certain elderly individuals, as well as persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). The PHA must provide reasonable accommodation to the needs of individuals with disabilities. The application-taking facility and the application process must be fully accessible, or the PHA must provide an alternate approach that provides full access to the application process. Chapter 2 provides a full discussion of the PHA’s policies related to providing reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
Limited English Proficiency
PHAs are required to take reasonable steps to ensure equal access to their programs and activities by persons with limited English proficiency [24 CFR 1]. Chapter 2 provides a full discussion on the PHA’s policies related to ensuring access to people with limited English proficiency (LEP).
4-I.D. PLACEMENT ON THE WAITING LIST
The PHA must review each complete application received and make a preliminary assessment of the family’s eligibility. The PHA must accept applications from families for whom the list is open unless there is good cause for not accepting the application (such as denial of assistance) for the grounds stated in the regulations [24 CFR 982.206(b)(2)]. Where the family is determined to be ineligible, the PHA must notify the family in writing [24 CFR 982.201(f)]. Where the family is not determined to be ineligible, the family will be placed on a waiting list of applicants.
No applicant has a right or entitlement to be listed on the waiting list, or to any particular position on the waiting list [24 CFR 982.202(c)].
Ineligible for Placement on the Waiting List
PHA Policy
If the PHA can determine from the information provided that a family is ineligible, the family will not be placed on the waiting list. Where a family is determined to be ineligible, the PHA will send written notification of the ineligibility determination within 10 business days of receiving a complete application. The notice will specify the reasons for ineligibility and will inform the family of its right to request an informal review and explain the process for doing so (see Chapter 16).
Eligible for Placement on the Waiting List
PHA Policy
The PHA will send written notification of the preliminary eligibility determination within 10 business days of receiving a complete application.
Placement on the waiting list does not indicate that the family is, in fact, eligible for assistance. A final determination of eligibility will be made when the family is selected from the waiting list.
Applicants will be placed on the waiting list according to any preference(s) for which they qualify, and the date and time their complete application is received by the PHA.
PART II: MANAGING THE WAITING LIST
4-II.A. OVERVIEW
The PHA must have policies regarding various aspects of organizing and managing the waiting list of applicant families. This includes opening the list to new applicants, closing the list to new applicants, notifying the public of waiting list openings and closings, updating waiting list information, purging the list of families that are no longer interested in or eligible for assistance, as well as conducting outreach to ensure a sufficient number of applicants.
In addition, HUD imposes requirements on how a PHA may structure its waiting list and how families must be treated if they apply for assistance from a PHA that administers more than one assisted housing program.
4-II.B. ORGANIZATION OF THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.204 and 205] The PHA’s HCV waiting list must be organized in such a manner to allow the PHA to accurately identify and select families for assistance in the proper order, according to the admissions policies described in this plan.
The waiting list must contain the following information for each applicant listed:
Applicant name;
Family unit size;
Date and time of application;
Qualification for any local preference;
Racial or ethnic designation of the head of household.
HUD requires the PHA to maintain a single waiting list for the HCV program unless it serves more than one county or municipality. Such PHAs are permitted, but not required, to maintain a separate waiting list for each county or municipality served.
PHA Policy
The PHA will maintain a single waiting list for the HCV program.
HUD directs that a family that applies for assistance from the HCV program must be offered the opportunity to be placed on the waiting list for any public housing, project-based voucher or moderate rehabilitation program the PHA operates if 1) the other programs’ waiting lists are open, and 2) the family is qualified for the other programs.
HUD permits, but does not require, that PHAs maintain a single merged waiting list for their public housing, Section 8, and other subsidized housing programs.
A family’s decision to apply for, receive, or refuse other housing assistance must not affect the family’s placement on the HCV waiting list, or any preferences for which the family may qualify.
PHA Policy
The PHA will not merge the HCV waiting list with the waiting list for any other program the PHA operates.
4-II.C. OPENING AND CLOSING THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.206] Closing the Waiting List
A PHA is permitted to close the waiting list if it has an adequate pool of families to use its available HCV assistance. Alternatively, the PHA may elect to continue to accept applications only from certain categories of families that meet particular preferences or funding criteria.
PHA Policy
The PHA will close the waiting list when the preset number of applications has been reached or the estimated waiting period for housing assistance for applicants on the list reaches 24 months for the most current applicants. Where the PHA has particular preferences or funding criteria that require a specific category of family, the PHA may elect to continue to accept applications from these applicants while closing the waiting list to others.
Reopening the Waiting List
If the waiting list has been closed, it cannot be reopened until the PHA publishes a notice in local newspapers of general circulation, minority media, and other suitable media outlets. The notice must comply with HUD fair housing requirements and must specify who may apply, and where and when applications will be received.
PHA Policy
The PHA will announce the reopening of the waiting list at least 10 business days prior to the date applications will first be accepted. If the list is only being reopened for certain categories of families, this information will be contained in the notice.
The PHA will give public notice by publishing the relevant information in suitable media outlets including, but not limited to:

The PHA must conduct outreach as necessary to ensure that the PHA has a sufficient number of applicants on the waiting list to use the HCV resources it has been allotted.
Because HUD requires the PHA to admit a specified percentage of extremely low-income families to the program (see Chapter 4, Part III), the PHA may need to conduct special outreach to ensure that an adequate number of such families apply for assistance [HCV GB, p. 4-20 to 4-21].
PHA outreach efforts must comply with fair housing requirements. This includes:
Analyzing the housing market area and the populations currently being served to identify underserved populations
Ensuring that outreach efforts are targeted to media outlets that reach eligible populations that are underrepresented in the program
Avoiding outreach efforts that prefer or exclude people who are members of a protected class PHA outreach efforts must be designed to inform qualified families about the availability of assistance under the program. These efforts may include, as needed, any of the following activities:
Submitting press releases to local newspapers, including minority newspapers Developing informational materials and flyers to distribute to other agencies Providing application forms to other public and private agencies that serve the low income population
Developing partnerships with other organizations that serve similar populations, including agencies that provide services for persons with disabilities PHA Policy
The PHA will monitor the characteristics of the population being served and the characteristics of the population as a whole in the PHA’s jurisdiction. Targeted outreach efforts will be undertaken if a comparison suggests that certain populations are being underserved.
4-II.E. REPORTING CHANGES IN FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES
PHA Policy
While the family is on the waiting list, the family must immediately inform the PHA of changes in contact information, including current residence, mailing address, and phone number. The changes must be submitted in writing.
4-II.F. UPDATING THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.204]
HUD requires the PHA to establish policies to use when removing applicant names from the waiting list.
Purging the Waiting List
The decision to withdraw an applicant family that includes a person with disabilities from the waiting list is subject to reasonable accommodation. If the applicant did not respond to a PHA request for information or updates, and the PHA determines that the family did not respond because of the family member’s disability, the PHA must reinstate the applicant family to their former position on the waiting list [24 CFR 982.204(c)(2)].
PHA Policy
The waiting list will be updated as needed to ensure that all applicants and applicant information is current and timely.
To update the waiting list, the PHA will send an update request via first class mail or email to each family on the waiting list to determine whether the family continues to be interested in, and to qualify for, the program. This update request will be sent to the last address or email that the PHA has on record for the family. The update request will provide a deadline by which the family must respond and will state that failure to respond will result in the applicant’s name being removed from the waiting list.
The family’s response must be in writing and may be delivered in person, by mail, by email, or by fax. Responses should be postmarked or received by the PHA not later than 30 business days from the date of the PHA letter.
If the family fails to respond within 30 business days, the family will be removed from the waiting list without further notice.
If the notice is returned by the post office with no forwarding address, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list without further notice.
If the notice is returned by the post office with a forwarding address, the notice will be resent to the address indicated. The family will have 30 business days to respond from the date the letter was re-sent.
If a family is removed from the waiting list for failure to respond, the PHA may reinstate the family if it is determined that the lack of response was due to PHA error, or to circumstances beyond the family’s control, as a result of a family member’s disability, or as a direct result of status as a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking, including an adverse factor resulting from such abuse.
Removal from the Waiting List
PHA Policy
If at any time an applicant family is on the waiting list, the PHA determines that the family is not eligible for assistance (see Chapter 3), the family will be removed from the waiting list.
If a family is removed from the waiting list because the PHA has determined the family is not eligible for assistance, a notice will be sent to the family’s address of record as well as to any alternate address provided on the initial application. The notice will state the reasons the family was removed from the waiting list and will inform the family how to request an informal review regarding the PHA’s decision (see Chapter 16) [24 CFR 982.201(f)].
PART III: SELECTION FOR HCV ASSISTANCE
4-III.A. OVERVIEW
As vouchers become available, families on the waiting list must be selected for assistance in accordance with the policies described in this part.
The order in which families are selected from the waiting list depends on the selection method chosen by the PHA and is impacted in part by any selection preferences for which the family qualifies. The availability of targeted funding also may affect the order in which families are selected from the waiting list.
The PHA must maintain a clear record of all information required to verify that the family is selected from the waiting list according to the PHA’s selection policies [24 CFR 982.204(b) and 982.207(e)].
4-III.B. SELECTION AND HCV FUNDING SOURCES
Special Admissions [24 CFR 982.203]
HUD may award funding for specifically-named families living in specified types of units (e.g., a family that is displaced by demolition of public housing; a non-purchasing family residing in a HOPE 1 or 2 projects). In these cases, the PHA may admit such families whether or not they are on the waiting list, and, if they are on the waiting list, without considering the family’s position on the waiting list. These families are considered non-waiting list selections. The PHA must maintain records showing that such families were admitted with special program funding.
Targeted Funding [24 CFR 982.204(e)]
HUD may award a PHA funding for a specified category of families on the waiting list. The PHA must use this funding only to assist the families within the specified category. In order to assist families within a targeted funding category, the PHA may skip families that do not qualify within the targeted funding category. Within this category of families, the order in which such families are assisted is determined according to the policies provided in Section 4-III.C.
PHA Policy
The PHA administers the following types of targeted funding:
None at this time
Regular HCV Funding
Regular HCV funding may be used to assist any eligible family on the waiting list. Families are selected from the waiting list according to the policies provided in Section 4-III.C.
4-III.C. SELECTION METHOD
PHAs must describe the method for selecting applicant families from the waiting list, including the system of admission preferences that the PHA will use [24 CFR 982.202(d)].
Local Preferences [24 CFR 982.207; HCV p. 4-16]
PHAs are permitted to establish local preferences, and to give priority to serving families that meet those criteria. HUD specifically authorizes and places restrictions on certain types of local preferences. HUD also permits the PHA to establish other local preferences, at its discretion.
Any local preferences established must be consistent with the PHA plan and the consolidated plan, and must be based on local housing needs and priorities that can be documented by generally accepted data sources.
PHA Policy
The PHA will use the following local preferences:
T. Risk of Rental Assistance Loss Due to Funding or Program Changes: At the sole discretion of the PHA, families participating in any special-purpose voucher program including the EHV program, who are at risk of losing rental assistance because of funding limitations, program changes, or shifts in eligibility requirements will be offered the next available Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), or another available special-purpose voucher for which the household qualifies.
If the number of at-risk families exceeds the number of available HCVs or special-purpose vouchers, assistance will be provided based on each household’s original date of admission.
1. The PHA will offer a preference to any family that has been terminated from its HCV Program or Special Purpose Voucher Program due to insufficient program funding.
2. The PHA will offer a preference to families that include victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking who have either been referred by a partnering service agency or consortia or are seeking an emergency transfer under VAWA from the PHA’s public housing program or other covered housing program operated by the PHA.
The PHA will work with the following partnering service agencies:
The PHA will work with local non-profit public service organizations and other Public Housing Agencies.
The applicant must certify that the abuser will not reside with the applicant unless the PHA gives prior written approval.
3. Residency: for applicants who live, work, or have been hired to work in its jurisdiction.
• Verification of residency is based on residency when the full application is completed, not at the time of pre-application. It will be part of the full application verification process.
• An applicant who moves from the PHA’s jurisdiction to a location outside the PHA’s jurisdiction will no longer be considered a resident in terms of the preference. Similarly, an applicant who moves into the PHA’s jurisdiction while on the waiting list will have their preference changed to reflect their new residence. • Applicants who work or have been hired to work in the PHA’s jurisdiction will only qualify for this preference if their employer has specifically designated their jobsite located in the PHA’s jurisdiction and are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week. This preference does not apply to contractors who are able to choose their jobsite location.
4. Senior: for applicants whose household includes a person age 62 or older.
5. Disabled: for applicants whose household includes a person with disabilities as defined in this administrative plan.
6. Veteran: for applicants whose head of household is a current member of the U.S. Armed Forces, a veteran, or surviving spouse of a veteran.
Local preferences will be aggregated using the following system:
Each preference will receive an allocation of points. The more preference points an applicant has, the higher the applicant’s place on the waiting list.
T. Risk of Rental Assistance Loss Due to Funding or Program Changes (6 points)
1. Previously Terminated for Insufficient Funding (5 points)
2. Victims of Domestic Violence (4 points)
3. Residency (3 points)
4. Senior (2 points)
5. Disability (2 points)
6. Veteran (1 point)
Initial Determination of Local Preference Qualification [24CFR 982.207] At the time of application, an applicant’s assertion to a local preference will be accepted without verification (initial pre-application). When the family is selected from the waiting list for the final determination of eligibility, the preference will be verified.
If the preference verification indicates that an applicant does not qualify for the preference, the applicant will be returned to the waiting list without the local preference.
If an applicant falsifies documents or makes false statements in order to qualify for any preference, they will be removed from the waiting list.
Changes in an applicant circumstances while on the waiting list may affect the family’s qualification for a preference. Applicants are required to notify the PHA in writing when their circumstances change.
The PHA will first assist families that have been terminated from the HCV program or Special Purpose Voucher Program due to insufficient funding and then assist families that qualify for the VAWA preference.
Preference “T” participants, at the discretion of HUD and the PHA, may be exempt from rescreening requirements related to criminal background checks, income verification, and asset verification. In addition, a new unit inspection will not be required for eligible participants.
Income Targeting Requirement [24 CFR 982.201(b)(2)]
HUD requires that extremely low-income (ELI) families make up at least 75 percent of the families admitted to the HCV program during the PHA’s fiscal year. ELI families are those with annual incomes at or below the federal poverty level or 30 percent of the area median income, whichever number is higher. To ensure this requirement is met, a PHA may skip non-ELI families on the waiting list in order to select an ELI family.
Low-income families admitted to the program that are “continuously assisted” under the 1937 Housing Act [24 CFR 982.4(b)], as well as low-income or moderate-income families admitted to the program that are displaced as a result of the prepayment of the mortgage or voluntary termination of an insurance contract on eligible low-income housing, are not counted for income targeting purposes [24 CFR 982.201(b)(2)(v)].
PHA Policy
The PHA will monitor progress in meeting the income targeting requirement throughout the fiscal year. Extremely low-income families will be selected ahead of other eligible families on an as-needed basis to ensure the income targeting requirement is met.
Order of Selection
The PHA system of preferences may select families based on local preferences according to the date and time of application or by a random selection process (lottery) [24 CFR 982.207(c)]. If a PHA does not have enough funding to assist the family at the top of the waiting list, it is not permitted to skip down the waiting list to a family that it can afford to subsidize when there are not sufficient funds to subsidize the family at the top of the waiting list [24 CFR 982.204(d) and (e)].
PHA Policy
Families will be selected from the waiting list based on the targeted funding or selection preference(s) for which they qualify, and in accordance with the PHA’s hierarchy of preferences, if applicable. Within each targeted funding or preference category, families will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis according to the date and time their complete application is received by the PHA. Documentation will be maintained by the PHA as to whether families on the list qualify for and are interested in targeted funding.
If a higher placed family on the waiting list is not qualified or not interested in targeted funding, there will be a notation maintained so that the PHA does not have to ask higher placed families each time targeted selections are made.
4-III.D. NOTIFICATION OF SELECTION
When a family has been selected from the waiting list, the PHA must notify the family [24 CFR 982.554(a)].
PHA Policy
The PHA will notify the family by first class mail or email when it is selected from the waiting list. The notice will inform the family of the following:
Date, time, and location of the scheduled application interview, including any procedures for rescheduling the interview
Who is required to attend the interview
All documents that must be provided at the interview, including information about what constitutes acceptable documentation
If a notification letter is returned to the PHA with no forwarding address, the family will be removed from the waiting list. A notice of denial (see Chapter 3) will be sent to the family’s address of record, as well as to any known alternate address. 4-III.E. THE APPLICATION INTERVIEW
HUD recommends that the PHA obtain the information and documentation needed to make an eligibility determination though a face-to-face interview with a PHA representative [HCV GB, pg. 4-16]. Being invited to attend an interview does not constitute admission to the program.
Assistance cannot be provided to the family until all SSN documentation requirements are met.
However, if the PHA determines that an applicant family is otherwise eligible to participate in the program, the family may retain its place on the waiting list for a period of time determined by the PHA [Notice PIH 2018-24].
Reasonable accommodation must be made for persons with disabilities who are unable to attend an interview due to their disability.
PHA Policy
Families selected from the waiting list are required to participate in an eligibility interview.
The head of household and the spouse/cohead will be strongly encouraged to attend the interview together. However, either the head of household or the spouse/cohead may attend the interview on behalf of the family. Verification of information pertaining to adult members of the household not present at the interview will not begin until signed release forms are returned to the PHA.
The head of household or spouse/cohead must provide acceptable documentation of legal identity. (Chapter 7 provides a discussion of proper documentation of legal identity.) If the family representative does not provide the required documentation at the time of the interview, they will be required to provide it within 10 business days.
Pending disclosure and documentation of social security numbers, the PHA will allow the family to retain its place on the waiting list for 30 days. If not all household members have disclosed their SSNs at the next time the PHA is issuing vouchers, the PHA will issue a voucher to the next eligible applicant family on the waiting list.
The family must provide the information necessary to establish the family’s eligibility and determine the appropriate level of assistance, and must complete required forms, provide required signatures, and submit required documentation. If any materials are missing, the PHA will provide the family with a written list of items that must be submitted.
Any required documents or information that the family is unable to provide at the interview must be provided within 10 business days of the interview (Chapter 7 provides details about longer submission deadlines for particular items, including documentation of eligible noncitizen status). If the family is unable to obtain the information or materials within the required time frame, the family may request an extension. If the required documents and information are not provided within the required time frame (plus any extensions), the family will be sent a notice of denial (See Chapter 3).
An advocate, interpreter, or other assistant may assist the family with the application and the interview process.
Interviews will be conducted in English. For limited English proficient (LEP) applicants, the PHA will provide translation services in accordance with the PHA’s LEP plan.
If the family is unable to attend a scheduled interview, the family should contact the PHA in advance of the interview to schedule a new appointment. In all circumstances, if a family does not attend a scheduled interview, the PHA will send another notification letter with a new interview appointment time. Applicants who fail to attend two scheduled interviews without PHA approval will be denied assistance based on the family’s failure to supply information needed to determine eligibility. A notice of denial will be issued in accordance with policies contained in Chapter 3.
4-III.F. COMPLETING THE APPLICATION PROCESS
The PHA must verify all information provided by the family (see Chapter 7). Based on verified information, the PHA must make a final determination of eligibility (see Chapter 3) and must confirm that the family qualified for any special admission, targeted funding admission, or selection preference that affected the order in which the family was selected from the waiting list.
PHA Policy
The full application will be mailed to the applicant in advance, to be completed prior to the applicant interview. Applicants will be required to complete a full application in their own handwriting, unless assistance is needed, or a request for accommodation is made by a person with a disability. The applicant will bring the completed application and accompanying verifications to the interview. Applicant will then be interviewed by PHA staff to review the information on the full application form. Accommodations as needed will be made to a person with a disability.
All preferences claimed on the pre-application or while the family is on the waiting list will be verified after the family is selected from the waiting list and is part of completing the full application. The qualification for preference must exist at the time of verification, because claim of a preference determines placement on the waiting list.
If the PHA determines that the family is ineligible, the PHA will send written notification of the ineligibility determination within 10 business days of the determination. The notice will specify the reasons for ineligibility, and will inform the family of its right to request an informal review (Chapter 16).
If a family fails to qualify for any criteria that affected the order in which it was selected from the waiting list (e.g. targeted funding, extremely low-income), the family will be returned to its original position on the waiting list. The PHA will notify the family in writing that it has been returned to the waiting list, and will specify the reasons for it.
If the PHA determines that the family is eligible to receive assistance, the PHA will invite the family to attend a briefing in accordance with the policies in Chapter 5.

City Manager:Department Head:
SUBJECT:
Amendment to Memorandum of Understanding with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) for Homeless Services Programs.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve an amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to expand Homeless Services programming; and
2. Authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute all necessary documents and amendments consistent with the Council’s action.
DISCUSSION:
Earlier this year, the City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the South Bay Cities Council of Governments (SBCCOG) to provide Case Management and Outreach Services in support of the City’s Homeless Services Division. The agreement is funded through Measure A and is intended to strengthen coordinated regional responses to homelessness through case management, outreach, and housing navigation services. Since the approval of the original MOU, SBCCOG has identified available program funding and proposed an expansion of services to enhance existing efforts and add new program capacity within the City of Hawthorne.
The proposed amendment expands the scope of services under the existing SBCCOG agreement and increases program funding allocations as follows:
Case Management and Outreach Services: Increase program funding by $40,000, bringing the total annual allocation to $200,000. This increase will support expanded outreach capacity and enhanced case management services for individuals experiencing homelessness.
Housing Navigation Program: Increase program funding by $20,000, bringing the total annual allocation to $100,000, and adjust minimum annual caseload requirements to reflect the expanded program scope and service expectations.
New Program – Hawthorne Bridge of Hope Operations: Establish a new program with an annual budget of $265,000 to provide operational support services, strengthening coordinated engagement, service delivery, and housing placement efforts for individuals experiencing homelessness.
These enhancements are intended to improve service coordination, increase housing placements, and strengthen the City’s overall homelessness response system in partnership with SBCCOG and Measure A-funded regional efforts.
The proposed amendment will be submitted through SBCCOG’s July meeting cycle, with initial consideration by the Steering Committee scheduled for July 13, 2026. To meet this timeline, SBCCOG has requested that any comments or proposed revisions be submitted by June 26, 2026, in advance of finalizing amendment language prior to the Fourth of July holiday period.
Upon Council approval, staff will transmit the City’s authorization to SBCCOG for inclusion in the July meeting agenda package.
