Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to approve a purchase order with Life-Assist, Incorporated to obtain advanced life support (ALS) and basic life support (BLS) medical supplies and medications utilizing the League of Oregon Cities contract number PS25830 through National Purchasing Partners (NPPGOV).

The City will be utilizing National Purchasing Partners (NPPGov) cooperative contract number PS25830, which was competitively bid and awarded by lead public agency, League of Oregon Cities. The initial contract award is for four (4) consecutive years, with an optional one (1) year renewal available.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total estimated cost for Fire Department ALS and BLS medical supplies and medications is $537,500 for the remainder of the initial 48-month term of the contract from November 18, 2025 to November 17, 2029, and $150,000 for extension year November 18, 2029, to November 17, 2030.

Title: On-Call Geographic Information System Services – Professional Services Agreement Contact: Chris Fanucchi 916-746-1353 [email protected]
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of a professional services agreement with Geographic Technologies Group, Inc., for on-call geographic information system (GIS) services with a not-to-exceed amount of $175,000 for the first term and $150,000 annually for future optional renewals. The funding source is the Development Services Department's Technology Replacement Fund, funded by development through permit fees for development-driven technology improvements. Funding for FY2025-26 is included in the Department's budget. Staff also recommends authorization for the City Manager to execute future amendments to extend the agreement for up to four (4) additional one-year renewal terms on behalf of the City.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to approve a Professional Services Agreement with Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. for on-call geographic information system services and authorize the City Manager to execute it on behalf of the City of Roseville.
Staff additionally requests authority for the City Manager or his designee to execute four (4) additional one (1) year renewals without further City Council approval, provided that the applicable budget is approved by the City Council each year, or until City staff determines that continuing with the same vendor is not in the City's best interest.
BACKGROUND
The Development Services Department’s Geographic Information System (GIS) program maintains the citywide basemap and manages addressing and street naming on behalf of the City. The GIS team maintains, updates, and creates critical datasets, including parcels, addresses, and street centerlines, which support City operations and are integrated into business systems across departments and publicfacing applications. The accuracy and reliability of this data are essential to support life-safety services, utility billing, operational efficiency, and informed decision-making.
The Development Services Department’s GIS team currently consists of one GIS Analyst and one GIS Technician, both fully allocated to ongoing operational needs. As demand for GIS services continues to grow, additional support is needed to maintain service levels and advance strategic initiatives. The use of on-call support services will supplement staff capacity, provide specialized expertise, support priority projects, and offer opportunities for knowledge transfer and mentorship to enhance the team’s overall expertise.
To support these needs, the City conducted a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process to solicit qualified firms for on-call GIS support services, including data maintenance, application development, automation, strategic planning, mentorship, and project coordination. Proposals were evaluated based on
experience and qualifications, service approach, and cost. Geographic Technologies Group, Inc. (GTG) was identified as the highest-ranked proposer and determined to provide the best overall value to the City.
The proposed agreement will enable the Department to respond more effectively to changing service needs, improve operations, and expand public-facing GIS tools and civic engagement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The not-to-exceed amount for the recommended agreement is $175,000 for the first term and $150,000 annually for future optional renewals. The funding source is the Development Services Department's Technology Replacement Fund, funded by development through permit fees for development-driven technology improvements. Funding for FY2025-26 is included in the Department's budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) only applies to projects which have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)). No additional environmental review is required.

2. Services. CONSULTANT shall perform, at the direction of CITY, the scope of the on-call services as described in EXHIBIT “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Individual tasks will be awarded by CITY on an as-needed basis. CITY may assign work to one, or more than one consultant from an approved qualified list. CITY reserves the right to unilaterally assign work to any consultant as it deems prudent or, if no services are required, no work. CITY makes no specific guarantee of a minimum or maximum number of hours or amount of tasks or services, which shall be required of any single consultant. In addition, the inclusion of any consultant on any qualified list, if so utilized by CITY, shall in no way be considered an exclusive agreement to provide service for CITY.
3. Compensation. For its services provided hereunder, CONSULTANT shall be compensated on a time and expense basis in accordance with the hourly rates as described in EXHIBIT “B,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Any proposed increase in the effective rates for future services must be preceded by at least a 90-day written notice to the contracting department.

The parties intend that this provision shall be broadly construed.
CONSULTANT agrees to defend and indemnify CITY if, despite the parties intent and practice, any venue, agency, or court with competent jurisdiction determines that CONSULTANT and/or any of its agents, officers, employees, volunteers, independent contractors, or subcontractors, are characterized as employee(s) of CITY.
CONSULTANT’s responsibility for such defense and indemnity obligations shall survive the termination or completion of this Agreement for the full period of time allowed by law.

C:\Users\lippmelissa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\0YMDOIDW\Geographic-Technologies-Group-On-callPSA (Revised 3.26.26).docx certified copy of any insurance policy and endorsements. The failure to exercise this right shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

The estimated hours below were developed based on similar California municipal on-call engagements, GTG’s internal benchmarks for typical task requests, and the City’s anticipated workload for data cleanup, application development, automation, enterprise system support, and on-call assistance. These estimates provide a realistic modeling of expected resource needs; however, GTG will always coordinate with the City at the task-order level to confirm actual hours before work begins.
The City may adjust the mix of hours over the life of the contract based on evolving demand. GTG’s flexible structure ensures that Roseville receives responsive, high-value support while maintaining clear fiscal control. Hourly rates will be inserted into the table upon final pricing approval.

Meeting Date: 5/6/2026
Item #: VI.21
File #: 0709-01
Item ID: 2026-334
Title: Roseville Housing Authority — Administrative Plan Amendments Contact: Suzi Cook-Turner 916-774-5414 [email protected]
SUMMARY
Staff recommends approval of the amended Roseville Housing Authority Administrative Plan that incorporates discretionary policy changes, supports cost-saving measures and ensures continued compliance with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations. The Administrative Plan has no impact on the City's General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council, acting as the Roseville Housing Authority Board, adopt a resolution approving the proposed amendments to the Housing Authority Administrative Plan.
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires each housing authority to adopt a written administrative plan that establishes federal, state and local policies for administering the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance program. The Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) is required to revise its administrative plan, as necessary, to comply with HUD regulations and must include revisions to the Housing Authority’s discretionary policies. Revisions to the plan must be formally adopted.
To ensure that RHA remains in full compliance with current HUD regulations and continues to apply its discretionary policies consistently and equitably, staff is recommending several key updates to the Administrative Plan. These revisions are necessary to clarify existing procedures, incorporate recent HUD guidance, and strengthen policy transparency for program participants. Collectively, these changes support fair housing practices, improve administrative accuracy, incorporate cost-saving measures, and enhance the overall effectiveness of the HCV Program. The proposed updates to the Administrative Plan include the following key revisions:
Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Unit Offer and Refusal Policy - Revisions introduce a formal policy outlining procedures to offer PBV units to eligible households, as well as the conditions under which applicants or participants may refuse a PBV unit without jeopardizing their status on the waitlist.
Determination of Voucher Size, Corrections, and Reasonable Accommodation Policies - Updates clarify the methodology for determining the appropriate voucher size, establish procedures for downsizing, and create an exception process for reasonable accommodation. This includes adding a grace period for households with an approved live-in aide, ensuring compliance with fair housing requirements and supporting participant needs.
Restrictions on Elective Moves - Modifications refine and clarify the conditions under which moves may be denied, ensuring that policies remain up to date with HUD guidance and incorporate the Housing
Authority’s discretionary options.
Family Composition During Port-In – RHA will review and verify household composition provided by the initial PHA. RHA will not change, expand, or otherwise modify the family composition during the port-in process except in limited circumstances required by federal regulation.
Staff requests that the Roseville Housing Authority Board approve the proposed updates to the Administrative Plan to incorporate discretionary policy changes, support cost-saving measures and ensure continued compliance with HUD regulations.
FISCAL IMPACT
The HCV Program is federally funded through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Through this HUD-funded program, RHA provides an important social service locally to ensure safe and affordable housing for residents, which is an essential component of the foundation of the community’s economic stability. Through monthly rental assistance payments, the HCV Program invests over $12 million into the local rental economy annually.
This Housing Authority Administrative Plan revision does not create any additional cost to the City’s General Fund.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)).
Updates to Roseville Housing Authority’s Administrative Plan does not include the potential for a significant environmental effect, and therefore is not subject to CEQA.

Chapter 4
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, 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 the PHA has the information needed to make a final eligibility determination.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-2Adopted May 2026
PART I: THE APPLICATION PROCESS
4-I.A. OVERVIEW
This part describes the PHA policies for making applications available, accepting applications, making preliminarydeterminationsof eligibility, and the placement of applicants on thewaiting list.This part also describes the PHA’s obligation to ensure the accessibility of the application process to elderly persons, peoplewith disabilities, and peoplewith limitedEnglishproficiency(LEP). 4-I.B. APPLYING FOR ASSISTANCE [HCV GB, pp. 4-11 – 4-16] 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 as 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.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA initially will require families to provide only the information needed to make an initial assessment of the family’s eligibility, and to determine the family’s placement on the waiting list. The family will be required to provide all of the information necessary to establish family eligibility and level of assistance when the family is selected from the waiting list.
When the Housing Choice Voucher Waiting List is open, families must apply by means of online application. The family will be able to access the online applications from any computer or mobile device with Internet access. The application process will not be restricted to business hours. The family will have the option to print a receipt for their application.
If targeted funding is received for families receiving specific services through social service agencies, applications will be forwarded directly from those agencies with certification by the agency and family that the applicant(s) meets the specific funding criteria.
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. The PHA must provide reasonable accommodation to the needs of individuals with disabilities. Chapter 2 provides a full discussion of the PHA’s policies related to providing reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If a person with disabilities is unable to access a computer to apply for the HCV Waiting List due to the nature of their disability (and is unable to have someone apply online on their behalf) they may request a reasonable accommodation for
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-3Adopted May 2026
assistance with the application process. The written request must be received by RHA during the normal business hours within the dates that online waiting list applications are being accepted. If the reasonable accommodation is not approved there will be no accommodation for applying for HCV assistance after the HCV waiting list has closed.
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)].
Lottery to Limit Number of Pre-applications Added to the Waiting List Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Prior to opening the waiting list RHA may elect to limit the number of preapplications to be added to the waiting list. All pre-applications received online will be entered into a computer-generated lottery that will factor in the preferences marked on the application when assigning random numbers. The predetermined number of pre-applications to be added the RHA waiting list.
Ineligible for Placement on the Waiting List
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If RHA 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, RHA will send written notification of the ineligibility determination to the applicant. 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
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
A computer-generated lottery will rank the applicants by the preferences marked on the application. RHA will contact the highest ranked applicants who indicated on their application that they qualify for the Targeted, Resident, Family, or Displaced
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-4Adopted May 2026
preferences and ask that they verify the preferences within 10 working days of the date of the letter.
Once the due date for verifying preferences has passed, all preferences that have not been verified are removed. A final lottery will be run for applicants that have verified their preferences, adding the predetermined number of applicants to the waiting list. Those who are chosen in this lottery will be placed on the waiting list according to the preference(s) for which they qualify. This lottery will be to place the applicants in number order.
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.
The RHA will contact applicants:
• When updating information for the waiting list;
• When their names have come to the top of the waiting list; or • If it appears that the family is ineligible for assistance.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-5Adopted May 2026
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 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.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will maintain a single waiting list for the HCV program. 4-II.C. OPENING AND CLOSING THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.206] The waiting list cannot be opened 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 applications will be accepted. The notice will also state the date range that the PHA will accept applications.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will announce the opening 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.
RHA will give public notice by publishing the relevant information in suitable media outlets including, but not limited to:
• RHA Website • The Press-Tribune • El Hispano • Placer Herald
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-6Adopted May 2026
4-II.D. FAMILY OUTREACH [HCV GB, pp. 4-2 to 4-4]
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 4-II.E. REPORTING CHANGES IN FAMILY CIRCUMSTANCES
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
While the family is on the waiting list, the family must inform RHA of changes in contact information, including current residence and mailing address. The changes must be submitted in writing within 10 business days of the change. Mail from RHA will not be forwarded by the Post Office.
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 remove an applicant family that includes a person with disabilities from the waiting list is subject to reasonable accommodation. If the PHA determines that an applicant did
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-7Adopted May 2026
not respond to a PHA request for information or updates 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)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Annually, RHA will determine if an update of the waiting list is needed, and if so, the portion of the waiting list it will update. The number of applicants to be updated will be determined by a projection of future lease-up needs.
To update the waiting list, RHA will send an update request via first class mail 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 that RHA 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 through AssistanceCheck (an online secure database). If the family fails to create and/or update their AssistanceCheck account within 14 days, the family will be removed from the waiting list. A letter will be sent to the last known address for the applicant explaining that they have been deleted from the list for not responding to an update. The letter will also explain how to request an informal review regarding RHA’s decision (see Chapter 16) [24 CFR 982.201(f)].
If the letter is returned by the post office, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list without further notice.
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
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If at any time an applicant family is on the waiting list, RHA 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 RHA has determined the family is not eligible for assistance, a notice will be sent to the family’s address of record.
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 RHA’s decision (see Chapter 16) [24 CFR 982.201(f)].
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-8Adopted May 2026
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.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA administers the following types of targeted funding:
RHA administers HUD’s Rental Assistance for Non-Elderly Persons with Disabilities (NED) Program and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program, Mainstream Voucher program, Emergency Housing Vouchers, and Foster Youth Initiative Vouchers.
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.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-9Adopted May 2026
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. (See page 4-14 for preferences) Income Targeting Requirement [24 CFR 982.201(b)(2)]
HUD requires that extremely low-income (ELI) families make up at least 75% 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% 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)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will monitor progress in meeting the ELI 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.
If there are not enough extremely low-income families on the waiting list, we will conduct outreach on a non-discriminatory basis to attract extremely low-income families to reach the statutory requirement.
Order of Selection
The PHA system of preferences may select families either according to the date and time of application, or by a random selection process [24 CFR 982.207(c)]. When selecting families from the waiting list PHAs are required to use targeted funding to assist only those families who meet the specified criteria, and PHAs are 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)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) 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 RHA’s hierarchy of preferences, if applicable. Families will be selected from the waiting list
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-10Adopted May 2026
by a computer-generated lottery system in conjunction with local preference criteria and targeted funding where applicable.
Preferences
Roseville Housing Authority Policy
The Roseville Housing Authority will select families based on the following preferences. When pre-applications are received by the Roseville Housing Authority, staff will review the following ranking preference categories and will apply them in the following order.
Insufficient HCV Funding Termination = 50 points
RHA will offer a preference to families who have had their Housing Choice Voucher revoked/suspended due to HUD HAP funding shortfalls within the last 12 months.
Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Tiered Preference - Housing Choice Vouchers Program
To support the transition of families from the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program into the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, the Housing Authority has adopted a tiered local preference structure. This preference is designed to prioritize EHV families who are at risk of losing assistance due to the exhaustion of EHV program funding.
Eligible applicants must be current EHV participants and meet the criteria outlined below:
Tier 1 – High Vulnerability =
Priority is given to EHV families where the head of household, spouse, or cohead meets one or more of the following:
• Are elderly (age 62 or older)
• Has a documented disability
• Is fleeing or attempting to flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking
• Has dependent children under the age of 18
General EHV Preference =
Remaining EHV families who do not meet Tier 1 criteria but are:
• Are recently homeless and at high risk of housing instability • Are at risk of homelessness due to loss of EHV assistance • Have been continuously housed under the EHV program for at least 12 months
Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) Preference for Mainstream Vouchers = The Housing Authority has established a local preference for families currently assisted under the Emergency Housing Voucher (EHV) program who meet the eligibility criteria for the Mainstream Voucher program and are at risk of losing assistance due to exhaustion of EHV program funding.
To qualify for this preference, the household must:
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-11Adopted May 2026
• Be actively receiving EHV assistance through Roseville Housing Authority; and
• Be at risk of losing EHV assistance due to lack of program funding; and • Meet the eligibility requirements for the Mainstream Voucher program, including:
o The head of household, spouse, or co-head must be a non-elderly person with a disability (age 18–61); and
o The household must be transitioning out of institutional or other segregated settings, at serious risk of institutionalization, homeless, or at risk of homelessness.
This preference will be applied to the Mainstream Voucher waiting list in accordance with 24 CFR 982.207(a)(2).
Elderly/Disabled Preference = 30 points
An elderly preference applies if the head, spouse, or co-head is a person who is age 62 or older. A disabled person preference is given if any family member receives Social Security or Supplemental Security benefits or otherwise meets the definition of disabled as defined under Section 223 of the Social Security Act.
Residency Preference = 15 points
Resident (live or work within the cities of Roseville/Rocklin, at time of application, or at any time during the applicant’s term on the waiting list) United States Veteran = 10 points
A veteran is defined as a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and who was discharged or released from such service under conditions other than dishonorable.
Involuntarily Displaced Preference = 10 points
Households that are currently involuntarily displaced or become displaced (at any time during the applicant’s term on the waiting list), and are not living in standard permanent replacement housing, due to the following actions: Disaster, Government Action (such as condemnation from the Building Department), Action of Housing Owner, Inaccessibility, Property Disposition. (Re-established from a former Federal Preference Category)
• Standard permanent replacement housing is decent, safe, sanitary housing of adequate size occupied by a family under a lease or occupancy agreement. • Standard permanent replacement housing does not include transient facilities, such as motels, hotels, or temporary shelters for homeless families or victims of domestic violence.
Not subject to involuntary displacement action.
Lease-In Place Preference = 50 points
Households who intend to lease the unit in which they are currently residing, provided the unit is located within RHA’s jurisdiction and the owner agrees to participate in the Housing Choice Voucher Program. To verify eligibility for this preference, applicants must provide:
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-12Adopted May 2026
• A copy of the current lease for the unit, which must be appropriately sized for the family, and
• Utility bills for the most recent three-month period showing the applicant’s name and address to confirm residency.
Ranking of Preferences
Based on the above preferences, an applicant with a family preference (30 points) will be offered housing before an applicant with only a residency preference (15 points). The preference points accumulate, for example, an applicant, who has a family with minor children, is a Roseville resident and is involuntarily displaced would get 55 points. This applicant would get assistance before a family with minor children, is a Roseville resident, but not involuntarily displaced, as the second applicant would get 45 points.
The above points system is currently being used by the Roseville Housing Authority; however, the Housing Authority reserves the right to change the system as long as the system maintains the same type of ranking structure.
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)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will notify the family by first class mail when it is selected from the waiting list. The notice will inform the family of the following:
Update application must be completed and returned.
Documents that must be provided in order to verify the preferences that were indicated on the initial waiting list application.
Due date for the required documents.
Failure to return the update application will cause the family to be removed from the waiting list.
Failure to verify preferences will result in the loss of the preference(s) and the family will be returned to the waiting list.
If the notice is returned by the post office, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list without further notice.
Project-Based Voucher (PBV) Unit Offer and Refusal Policy In accordance with 24 CFR 983.251, PHAs maintain separate waiting lists for Project-Based Voucher (PBV) units or PBV projects. Applicants will be selected from the PBV waiting list in the order of their position on the list, subject to eligibility, applicable preferences, and unit availability. PHAs may use site-based waiting lists for PBV units consistent with HUD regulations.
Applicants on the PBV waiting list will be notified when a PBV unit that matches the applicant’s
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-13Adopted May 2026
household composition and eligibility becomes available. The PHA will ensure equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in selecting families for PBV assistance.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
The Roseville Housing Authority will make reasonable efforts to offer eligible applicants appropriate available PBV units in accordance with 24 CFR 983.251. Applicants on the PBV waiting list will be offered units based on eligibility, preference ranking (if applicable), and unit availability.
To ensure efficient use of PBV units and timely leasing, the following policy applies to applicant refusals:
• Applicants who refuse one (1) appropriate PBV unit offer will remain on the waiting list.
• Applicants who refuse two (2) appropriate PBV unit offers without good cause will be removed from the PBV waiting list.
Applicants removed under this provision may reapply to the waiting list in accordance with RHA’s standard application procedures, subject to the status of the waiting list at the time of reapplication.
Good cause for refusing a PBV unit includes, but is not limited to:
• Verified disability-related accommodation needs
• Documented medical circumstances that prevent acceptance of the unit • Household size mismatch due to PHA error
• Condition of unit does not meet HQS at the time of offer • Other circumstances as approved by the Housing Supervisor in compliance with reasonable accommodation requirements and fair housing law Applicants claiming good cause must provide verification within the timeframe stated in the unit-offer notice.
4-III.E. COMPLETING THE APPLICATION PROCESS
The PHA must confirm that the family is qualified for any special admission, targeted admission, or selection preference that affected the order in which the family was selected from the waiting list.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Pending disclosure and documentation of social security numbers, RHA will allow the family to retain its place on the waiting list for 30 days. RHA will grant an additional 30-day extension if needed for reasons beyond the applicant’s control such as delayed processing of the SSN application by the SSA, death in the family or other emergency. If the applicant fails to comply with SSN disclosure and documentation requirements upon expiration of the provided time period, the PHA will deny the applicant’s assistance.
If RHA determines that the family is ineligible, RHA will send written notification of the ineligibility determination. The notice will specify the reasons for ineligibility
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 4-14Adopted May 2026
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 the waiting list. RHA will notify the family in writing that it has been returned to the waiting list and will specify the reasons for it.
If RHA determines that the family appears to be eligible to receive assistance, RHA will invite the family to attend a briefing in accordance with the policies in Chapter 5.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-1Adopted May 18, 2016
INTRODUCTION
Chapter 5
BRIEFINGS AND VOUCHER ISSUANCE
This chapter explains the briefing and voucher issuance process. When a family is determined to be eligible for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program, the PHA must ensure that the family fully understands the way the program operates and the family’s obligations under the program. This is accomplished through both an oral briefing and provision of a briefing packet containing the HUD-required documents and other information the family needs to know. Once the family is fully informed of the program’s requirements, the PHA issues the family a voucher.
The voucher includes the unit size for which the family qualifies based on the PHA’s subsidy standards, as well as issue and expiration date of the voucher. The voucher is the document that authorizes the family to begin its search for a unit and limits the amount of time the family has to successfully locate an acceptable unit.
This chapter describes HUD regulations and PHA policies related to these topics in two parts:
Part I: Briefings and Family Obligations. This part details the program’s requirements for briefing families orally, and for providing written materials describing the program and its requirements. It includes a particular focus on the family’s obligations under the program.
Part II: Subsidy Standards and Voucher Issuance. This part discusses the PHA’s standards for determining how many bedrooms a family of a given composition qualifies for, which in turn affects the amount of subsidy the family can receive. It also discusses the policies that dictate how vouchers are issued, and how long families have to locate a unit.

HUD regulations require the PHA to conduct mandatory briefings for applicant families who qualify for a voucher. The briefing provides a broad description of owner and family responsibilities, explains the PHA’s procedures, and includes instructions on how to lease a unit.
This part describes how oral briefings will be conducted, specifies what written information will be provided to families, and lists the family’s obligations under the program. 5-I.B. BRIEFING [24 CFR 982.301]
The PHA must give the family an oral briefing and provide the family with a briefing packet containing written information about the program. Families may be briefed individually or in groups. At the briefing, the PHA must ensure effective communication in accordance with Section 504 requirements (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) and ensure that the briefing site is accessible to individuals with disabilities. For a more thorough discussion of accessibility requirements, refer to Chapter 2.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Briefings will generally be conducted in group meetings.
The head of household and all other adult household members are required to attend the briefing. If the head of household or any adult household member is unable to attend, RHA may invite the absent household members to a future briefing.
When a family member becomes an adult at the age of 18, a briefing will be scheduled to explain all family obligations under the HCV program. The head of household will also be required to attend this briefing. During the briefing, the 18-year-old household member will be required to complete and sign all necessary program forms and documents and will be provided the opportunity to ask questions regarding their rights and responsibilities under the HCV Program.
Briefings will be conducted in English. For Limited English Proficient (LEP) applicants, RHA will provide translation services in accordance with RHA’s LEP plan (See Chapter 2).
Notification and Attendance
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
When applicant households are invited to attend a briefing, the notice will specify who is required to attend as well as the date, time, and location of the scheduled briefing. If the notice is returned by the Post Office as undeliverable, the applicant will be removed from the waiting list.
Applicants who fail to attend a scheduled briefing without prior approval from RHA will be removed from the waiting list. However, RHA may allow applicants to reschedule a missed briefing for good cause.
If the applicant does not attend the rescheduled briefing, they will be removed from
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-17Adopted May 18, 2016
the waiting list. Applicants will be notified in writing of this action and provided their informal review rights.
RHA will notify the family of the date and time of the rescheduled (second) briefing.
Applicants who fail to attend two scheduled briefings without RHA approval will be denied assistance (see Chapter 3).
Oral Briefing [24 CFR 982.301(a)]
Each briefing must provide information on the following subjects:
• How the Housing Choice Voucher program works;
• Family and owner responsibilities;
• Where the family can lease a unit, including renting a unit inside or outside the PHA’s jurisdiction;
• An explanation of how portability works. The PHA may not discourage the family from choosing to live anywhere in the PHA jurisdiction or outside the PHA jurisdiction under portability, unless otherwise expressly authorized by statute, regulation, PIH Notice, or court order;
• The PHA must inform the family of how portability may affect the family’s assistance through screening, subsidy standards, payment standards, and any other elements of the portability process which may affect the family’s assistance; • A reminder that there are advantages of areas that do not have a high concentration of lowincome families.
Briefing Packet [24 CFR 982.301(b)]
Documents and information provided in the briefing packet must include the following:
• The term of the voucher, voucher suspensions, and the PHA’s policies on any extensions. If the PHA allows extensions, the packet must explain how the family can request an extension. • A description of the method used to calculate the housing assistance payment for a family, including how the PHA determines the payment standard for a family, how the PHA determines total tenant payment for a family, and information on the payment standard and utility allowance schedule.
• An explanation of how the PHA determines the maximum allowable rent for an assisted unit. • Where the family may lease a unit and an explanation of how portability works, including information on how portability may affect the family’s assistance through screening, subsidy standards, payment standards, and any other elements of the portability process that may affect the family’s assistance.
• The HUD-required tenancy addendum, which must be included in the lease. • The form the family must use to request approval of tenancy, and a description of the procedure for requesting approval for a tenancy.
• A statement of the PHA policy on providing information about familiesto prospective owners. • The PHA subsidy standards including when and how exceptions are made.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-18Adopted May 18, 2016
• The HUD brochure on how to select a unit.
• Materials (e.g. brochures) on how to select a unit.
• The HUD pamphlet on lead-based paint entitled Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home. • Information on federal, state and local equal opportunity laws and a copy of the housing discrimination complaint form.
• A list of landlords known to the PHA who may be willing to lease a unit to the family or other resources (e.g. newspapers, organizations, online search tools) known to the PHA that may assist the family in locating a unit. PHAs must ensure that the list of landlords or other resources covers outside areas of poverty or minority concentration. • Notice that if the family includes a person with disabilities, the family may request a list of available accessible units known to the PHA.
• The family obligations under the program.
• The grounds on which the PHA may terminate assistance for a participant family because of family action or failure to act.
• PHA informal hearing procedures including when the PHA is required to offer a participant family the opportunity for an informal hearing, and how to request the hearing.
If the PHA is located in a metropolitan area, the following additional information must be included in the briefing packet in order to receive full points under SEMAP Indicator 7, Expanding Housing Opportunities [24 CFR 985.3(g)]:
• Maps showing areas with housing opportunities outside areas of poverty or minority concentration including information about job opportunities, schools and services. • An explanation of how portability works, including a list of portability contact persons for neighboring PHAs including with names, addresses, and telephone numbers.
Additional Items to Be Included in the Briefing Packet
In addition to items required by the regulations, PHAs may wish to include supplemental materials to help explain the program to both participants and owners [HCV GB p. 8-7 Notice PIH 2010-19].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will provide the following additional materials in the briefing packet:
Information about how to fill out and file a housing discrimination complaint form.
Information about the protections afforded by the Violence against Women Act of 2013 (VAWA) to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (see section 16-IX.C)
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-19Adopted May 18, 2016
5-I.C. FAMILY OBLIGATIONS
Obligations of the family are described in the housing choice voucher (HCV) regulations and on the voucher itself. These obligations include responsibilities the family is required to fulfill, as well as prohibited actions. The PHA must inform families of these obligations during the oral briefing, and the same information must be included in the briefing packet. When the family’s unit is approved and the HAP contract is executed, the family must meet those obligations in order to continue participating in the program. Violation of any family obligation may result in termination of assistance, as described in Chapter 12.
Time Frames for Reporting Changes Required By Family Obligations Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Immediately report in writing to the Housing Authority any changes in income or assets, and if any family member no longer lives in the unit. All family composition and income changes must be reported within 15 days and MUST BE IN WRITING.
Family Obligations [24 CFR 982.551]
The family obligations of the voucher are listed as follows:
• The family must supply any information that the PHA or HUD determines to be necessary, including submission of required evidence of citizenship or eligible immigration status. • The family must supply any information requested by the PHA or HUD for use in a regularly scheduled reexamination or interim reexamination of family income and composition.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
The family must not share bank or financial accounts with anyone other than current approved household members. All deposits may be counted toward household income. • The family must disclose and verify social security numbers and sign and submit consent forms for obtaining information.
• Any information supplied by the family must be true and complete. • The family is responsible for any Housing Quality Standards (HQS) breach by the family caused by failure to pay tenant-provided utilities or appliances, or damages to the dwelling unit or premises beyond normal wear and tear caused by any member of the household or guest.
• The family must allow the PHA to inspect the unit at reasonable times and after reasonable notice, as described in Chapter 8 of this plan.
• The family must not commit any serious or repeated violation of the lease.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will determine if a family has committed serious or repeated violations of the lease based on available evidence, including but not limited to, a court-ordered eviction, police reports, or other credible parties with direct knowledge.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-20Adopted May 18, 2016
Serious and repeated lease violations will include, but not be limited to, disturbance of neighbors, destruction of property, or living or housekeeping habits that cause damage to the unit or premises and criminal activity. Generally, the criterion to be used will be whether or not the reason for the eviction was the fault of the tenant or guests. Any incidents of, or criminal activity related to, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or human trafficking will not be construed as serious or repeated lease violations by the victim [see 24 CFR 5.2005(c)(1)]. • The familymust notify the PHA and the owner beforemoving out ofthe unit or terminating the lease.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
The family must comply with lease requirements regarding written notice to the owner. The family must provide written notice to RHA at the same time the owner is notified.
• The family must promptly give the PHA a copy of any owner eviction notice. • The family must use the assisted unit for residence by the family. The unit must be the family’s only residence.
• The composition of the assisted family residing in the unit must be approved by the PHA.
The family must promptly notify the PHA in writing of the birth, adoption, or court-awarded custody of a child. The family must request PHA approval to add any other family member as an occupant of the unit.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
The request to add a family member must be submitted in writing and approved by the property owner and RHA prior to the person moving into the unit. RHA will determine eligibility of the new member in accordance with the policies in Chapter 3.
The family must not allow anyone other than current approved household members to use the address of the assisted unit for their mailing address. • The family must promptly notify the PHA in writing if any family member no longer lives in the unit.
• If the PHA has given approval, a foster child or a live-in aide may reside in the unit. The PHA has the discretion to adopt reasonable policies concerning residency by a foster child or a live-in aide, and to define when PHA consent may be given or denied. For policies related to the request and approval/disapproval of foster children, foster adults, and live-in aides, see Chapter 3 (Sections I.K and I.M), and Chapter 11 (Section II.B). • The family must not sublease the unit, assign the lease, or transfer the unit.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Subleasing includes receiving payment to cover rent and utility costs by a person living in the unit who is not listed as a family member (i.e. roommates). • The family must supply any information requested by the PHA to verify that the family is living in the unit or information related to family absence from the unit.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-21Adopted May 18, 2016
• The family must promptly notify the PHA when the family is absent from the unit.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
The family may be absent from the unit for up to 60 days. Absences exceeding 60 days will require RHA approval of a reasonable accommodation request. An authorized absence may not exceed 180 days. Any family absent for more than 60 days without authorization will be terminated from the program.
• The family must pay utility bills and provide and maintain any appliances that the owner is not required providing under the lease [Form HUD-52646, Voucher]. • The family must not own or have any interest in the unit, (other than in a cooperative and owners of a manufactured home leasing a manufactured home space). • Family members must not commit fraud, bribery, or any other corrupt or criminal act in connection with the program. (See Chapter 14, Program Integrity for additional information). • Family members must not engage in drug-related criminal activity or violent criminal activity or other criminal activity that threatens the health, safety or right to peaceful enjoyment of other residents and persons residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises. See Chapter 12 for HUD and PHA policies related to drug-related and violent criminal activity. • Members of the household must not engage in abuse of alcohol in a way that threatens the health, safety or right to peaceful enjoyment of the other residents and persons residing in the immediate vicinity of the premises. See Chapter 12 for a discussion of HUD and PHA policies related to alcohol abuse.
• An assisted family or member of the family must not receive HCV program assistance while receiving another housing subsidy, for the same unit or a different unit under any other federal, state or local housing assistance program.
• A family must not receive HCV program assistance while residing in a unit owned by a parent, child, grandparent, grandchild, sister or brother of any member of the family, unless the PHA has determined (and has notified the owner and the family of such determination) that approving rental of the unit, notwithstanding such relationship, would provide reasonable accommodation for a family member who is a person with disabilities.

PART II: SUBSIDY STANDARDS AND VOUCHER ISSUANCE
5-II.A. OVERVIEW
The PHA must establish subsidy standards that determine the number of bedrooms needed for families of different sizes and compositions. This part presents the policies that will be used to determine the family unit size (also known as the voucher size) a particular family should receive, and the policies that govern making exceptions to those standards. The PHA must also establish policies related to the issuance of the voucher, to the voucher term, and to any extensions of the voucher term.
5-II.B. DETERMINING FAMILY UNIT (VOUCHER) SIZE [24 CFR 982.402] For each family, the PHA determines the appropriate number of bedrooms under the PHA subsidy standards and enters the family unit size on the voucher that is issued to the family. The family unit size does not dictate the size of unit the family must actually lease, nor does it determine who within a household will share a bedroom/sleeping room.
The following requirements apply when the PHA determines family unit size:
• The subsidy standards must provide for the smallest number of bedrooms needed to house a family without overcrowding.
• The subsidy standards must be consistent with space requirements under the housing quality standards.
• The subsidy standards must be applied consistently for all families of like size and composition.
• A child who is temporarily away from the home because of placement in foster care is considered a member of the family in determining the family unit size. • A family that consists of a pregnant woman (with no other persons) must be treated as a twoperson family. • Any live-in aide (approved by the PHA to reside in the unit to care for a family member who is disabled or is at least 50 years of age) must be counted in determining the family unitsize. • Unless a live-in-aide resides with a family, the family voucher size for any family consisting of a single person must be either a zero- or one-bedroom unit, as determined under the PHA subsidy standards.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
One bedroom will be assigned per two household members.
Effective for vouchers issued beginning May 1, 2013
Effective with annuals beginning September 2013
Age and gender of household members is not considered as RHA is not determining where household members will be sleeping.
Approved live-in caregivers will be provided a separate bedroom. No additional bedrooms will be provided for the caregiver’s family. Additions of family members will not necessarily result in a larger voucher size. Requests for exceptions must be in writing and will be considered on a case-by- case basis.
Consistent with Housing Quality Standards under 24 CFR 982.402 and RHA’s subsidy standards, the living room may be considered an additional sleeping area when
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-23Adopted May 18, 2016
determining appropriate unit size. Therefore, in addition to the bedrooms in a unit, the living room may be used as a sleeping area for occupancy purposes. 5-II.B.1 VOUCHER SIZE CORRECTIONS
HUD regulations do not mandate when changes to voucher size must be implemented. The PHA has discretion to establish local policies governing the timing of voucher size determinations and corrections in accordance with 24 CFR § 982.402.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will not wait until the next annual reexamination to adjust (downsize) a family’s voucher size upon verified household composition changes that results in the family qualifying for a smaller voucher under RHA’s subsidy standards.
The new voucher size and corresponding payment standard will be effective on the first day of the month following a 30-day written notice, unless otherwise required by HUD or federal law.
Voucher size corrections may be initiated at any time based on:
• A reported or verified change in household composition including the departure of a live-in aide.
• A PHA-initiated review of subsidy standards
• A move request
• A PHA audit or quality-control review
• Any other event indicating the family is no longer eligible for its current voucher W size hen a voucher size is reduced under this policy:
• The payment standard will be based on the new, lower voucher size. • The revised payment standard will be applied at the effective date of the voucher size change and will not be deferred to the next annual reexamination. 5-II.B.2. Exception for Reasonable Accommodation: Live-In Aide Grace Period Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If a participant has an approved reasonable accommodation for a live-in aide and the aide departs the household, RHA will allow the family up to 90 days from the date the aide vacates to secure a new eligible live-in aide before reducing the voucher size. • The voucher size and payment standard will remain unchanged during the 90-day grace period.
• If the family notifies RHA in writing that a new live-in aide has been identified and approved within the 90-day period, the voucher size will not be reduced.
If no approved live-in aide is secured within 90 days, RHA will issue a 30-day written notice of voucher downsizing. The new, lower voucher size and corresponding payment standard will take effect on the first day of the month following the notice, consistent with 24 CFR § 982.505(c)(4).
RHA may extend the 90-day period if the family demonstrates:
• good-faith efforts to secure a new live-in aide; and
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-24Adopted May 18, 2016
• continued need for the accommodation.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-25Adopted May 18, 2016
5-II.C. EXCEPTIONS TO SUBSIDY STANDARDS
In determining family unit size for a particular family, the PHA may grant an exception to its established subsidy standards if the PHA determines that the exception is justified by the age, sex, health, disability, or relationship of family members or other personal circumstances [24 CFR 982.402(b)(8)].
For a single person who is not elderly, disabled, or a remaining family member, an exception cannot override the regulatory limit of a zero or one bedroom [24 CFR 982.402(b)(8)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will consider granting an exception payment standard as a reasonable accommodation for a person with disabilities.
The family must request any exception to the subsidy standards in writing. The request must explain the need or justification for a larger family unit size and must include appropriate documentation. The need for the request must be verified by a knowledgeable professional source, unless the disability and the disability–related need for the requested accommodation is readily apparent or otherwise known. The family’s continued need for an additional bedroom due to special medical equipment must be re-verified at annual inspection.
Exception payment standards will be stated as a percent of the FMR. At annual recertifications the payment standard will be the higher of:
The current FMR x the percent stated for the exception payment standard OR the current payment standard for their voucher size (or the unit size if smaller than their voucher size).
If the current payment standard will be used since it is higher than the exception payment standard, the following note will be made in the file:
The exception payment standard ended effective [date of annual] since it longer provided a benefit as the current payment standard was a higher amount.
RHA will notify the family of its determination within 10 business days of receiving the family’s fully documented request. If a participant family’s request is denied, the notice will inform the family of their right to request an informal hearing.
PHAs have had the authority to approve an exception payment standard up to 110% of the applicable fair market rent (FMR). HUD Field office approval has been required for exceptions from 111% to 120% of FMR, and HUD headquarters approval is required for exceptions above 120%. Option 4 of Notice PIH 2013-03 (extended by Notice PIH 2013-26) which is effective until March 31, 2015, temporarily eliminates the requirement for field office approval, and permits the PHA to approve exception payment standards of up to 120% of FMR in this situation. Exceptions above 120% of FMR still require approval from HUD headquarters.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-26Adopted May 18, 2016
Roseville Housing Authority Policy
While allowed by HUD, RHA will implement Option 4 of Notice PIH 2013-03 and will comply with all HUD requirements.
When a family that includes a person with disabilities requires an exception payment standard as a reasonable accommodation, RHA will approve or deny requests for exceptions up to 120% of the applicable FMR.
Requests for exception payment standards over 120% of FMR will be forwarded to HUD headquarters, with supporting documentation as described in Notice PIH 2010-11.
RHA will maintain file documentation as required by HUD, including documentation of rent reasonableness and documentation of unit features required by the disabled family member.
5-II.D. VOUCHER ISSUANCE [24 CFR 982.302]
When a family is selected from the waiting list (or as a special admission as described in Chapter 4), or when a participant family wants to move to another unit, the PHA issues a Housing Choice Voucher, form HUD-52646. This chapter deals only with voucher issuance for applicants. For voucher issuance associated with moves of program participants, please refer to Chapter 10.
The voucher is the family’s authorization to search for housing. It specifies the unit size for which the family qualifies and includes both the date of voucher issuance and date of expiration.
It contains a brief description of how the program works and explains the family obligations under the program. The voucher is evidence that the PHA has determined the family to be eligible for the program, and that the PHA expects to have money available to subsidize the family if the family finds an approvable unit. However, the PHA does not have any liability to any party by the issuance of the voucher, and the voucher does not give the family any right to participate in the PHA’s housing choice voucher program [Voucher, form HUD-52646] A voucher can be issued to an applicant family only after the PHA has determined that the family is eligible for the program based on information received within the 60 days prior to issuance [24 CFR 982.201(e)] and after the family has attended an oral briefing [HCV 8-1].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Vouchers will be issued to eligible applicants once income and assets which were reported at the briefing have been verified.
The PHA should have sufficient funds to house an applicant before issuing a voucher. If funds are insufficient to house a family who has already attended an oral briefing, the PHA must wait until it has adequate funds before it calls another family from the list [HCV GB p. 8-10].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Prior to issuing any vouchers, RHA will determine whether it has sufficient funding in accordance with the policies in Part VIII of Chapter 16.
If the PHA determines that there is insufficient funding after a voucher has been issued, the PHA may rescind the voucher and place the affected family back on the waiting list.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-27Adopted May 18, 2016
5-II.E. VOUCHER TERM AND EXTENSIONS
Voucher Term [24 CFR 982.303]
The initial term of a voucher must be at least 60 calendar days. The initial term must be stated on the voucher [24 CFR 982.303(a)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
The initial voucher term will be 60 calendar days.
The family must submit a Request for Tenancy Approval and proposed lease within the 60-day period unless the PHA grants an extension.
Extensions of Voucher Term [24 CFR 982.303(b)]
The PHA has the authority to grant extensions of search time, to specify the length of an extension, and to determine the circumstances under which extensions will be granted. There is no limit on the number of extensions that the PHA can approve. Discretionary policies related to extension and expiration of search time must be described in the PHA’s administrative plan [24 CFR 982.54].
PHAs must approve additional search time if needed as a reasonable accommodation to make the program accessible to and usable by a person with disabilities. The extension period must be reasonable for the purpose.
The family must be notified in writing of the PHA’s decision to approve or deny an extension.
The PHA’s decision to deny a request for an extension of the voucher term is not subject to informal review [24 CFR 982.554(c)(4)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA may approve up to four 30-day extensions upon receiving a request from the family with submittal of a completed Housing Search Report.
RHA will approve additional extensions only in the following circumstances:
It is necessary as a reasonable accommodation for a person with disabilities.
It is necessary due to reasons beyond the family’s control, as determined by the PHA. Following is a list of extenuating circumstances that the PHA may consider in making its decision. The presence of these circumstances does not guarantee that an extension will be granted:
Serious illness or death in the family
Other family emergency
Obstacles due to employment
Whether the family has already submitted requests for tenancy approval that were not approved by the PHA
Whether family size or other special circumstances make it difficult to find a suitable unit.
Any request for an additional extension must include the reason(s) an additional extension is necessary. RHA may require the family to provide documentation to support the request.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 5-28Adopted May 18, 2016
All requests for extensions to the voucher term must be made in writing and submitted to RHA prior to the expiration date of the voucher (or extended term of the voucher).
RHA will decide whether to approve or deny an extension request within 10 business days of the date the request is received and will provide the family written notice of its decision.
Suspensions of Voucher Term [24 CFR 982.303(c)]
The PHA must provide for suspension of the initial or any extended term of the voucher from the date the family submits a request for PHA approval of the tenancy until the date the PHA notifies the family in writing whether the request has been approved or denied.
Expiration of Voucher Term
Once a family’s housing choice voucher term (including any extensions) expires, the family is no longer eligible to search for housing under the program. If the family still wishes to receive assistance, the PHA may require that the family reapply, or may place the family on the waiting list with a new application date but without requiring reapplication. Such a family does not become ineligible for the program on the grounds that it was unable to locate a unit before the voucher expired [HCV GB p. 8-13].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If an applicant family’s voucher term or extension expires before RHA has approved a tenancy, RHA will require the family to reapply for assistance.

MOVING WITH CONTINUED ASSISTANCE AND PORTABILITY
INTRODUCTION
Freedom of housing choice is a hallmark of the housing choice voucher (HCV) program. In general, HUD regulations impose few restrictions on where families may live or move with HCV assistance. This chapter sets forth HUD regulations and PHA policies governing moves within or outside the PHA’s jurisdiction in two parts:
Part I: Moving with Continued Assistance. This part covers the general rules that apply to all moves by a family assisted under the PHA’s HCV program, whether the family moves to another unit within the PHA’s jurisdiction or to a unit outside the PHA’s jurisdiction under portability.
Part II: Portability. This part covers the special rules that apply to moves by a family under portability, whether the family moves out of or into the PHA’s jurisdiction. This part also covers the special responsibilities that the PHA has under portability regulations and procedures.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 10-2
Adopted May 18, 2016
PART I: MOVING WITH CONTINUED ASSISTANCE
10-I.A. ALLOWABLE MOVES
HUD lists six regulatory conditions under which an assisted family is allowed to move to a new unit with continued assistance. Permission to move is subject to the restrictions set forth in section 10-I.B.
• The family has a right to terminate the lease on notice to the owner (for the owner’s breach or otherwise) and has given a notice of termination to the owner in accordance with the lease [24 CFR 982.354(b)(3)]. If the family terminates the lease on notice to the owner, the family must give the PHA a copy of the notice at the same time [24 CFR 982.314(d)(1)]. • The lease for the family’s unit has been terminated by mutual agreement of the owner and the family [24 CFR 982.354(b)(1)(ii)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If the family and the owner mutually agree to terminate the lease for the family’s unit, the family must give RHA a copy of the termination agreement. • The owner has given the family a notice to vacate, has commenced an action to evict the family, or has obtained a court judgment or other process allowing the owner to evict the family [24 CFR 982.354(b)(2)]. The family must promptly give the PHA a copy of any owner eviction notice [24 CFR 982.551(g)].
• The family or a member of the family is or has been the victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking and the move is needed to protect the health or safety of the family or family member [24 CFR 982.354(b)(4)]. This condition applies even when the family has moved out of its unit in violation of the lease, with or without prior notification to the PHA, if the family or family member who is the victim reasonably believed that he or she was imminently threatened by harm from further violence if he or she remained in the unit [24 CFR 982.354(b)(4), 24 CFR 982.353(b)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If a family requests permission to move with continued assistance based on a claim that the move is necessary to protect the health or safety of a family member who is or has been the victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, the PHA will request documentation in accordance with Chapter 16 of this plan.
RHA reserves the right to waive the documentation requirement if it determines that a statement or other corroborating evidence from the family or family member will suffice. In such cases the PHA will document the waiver in the family’s file. • The PHA has terminated the assisted HAP contract for the family’s unit for the owner’s breach [24 CFR 982.354(b)(1)(i)].
• The PHA determines that the family’s current unit does not meet the HQS space standards because of an increase in family size or a change in family composition. In such cases, the PHA must issue the family a new voucher, and the family and PHA must try to find an acceptable unit as soon as possible. If an acceptable unit is available for the family, the PHA
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 10-3
Adopted May 18, 2016
must terminate the HAP contract for the family’s old unit in accordance with the HAP contract terms and must notify both the family and the owner of the termination. The HAP contract terminates at the end of the calendar month that follows the calendar month in which the PHA gives notice to the owner. [24 CFR 982.403(a) and (c)] 10-I.B. RESTRICTIONS ON MOVES
A family’s right to move is generally contingent upon the family’s compliance with program requirements [24 CFR 982.1(b)(2)]. HUD specifies two conditions under which a PHA may deny a family permission to move and two ways in which a PHA may restrict moves by a family.
Denial of Moves
HUD regulations permit the PHA to deny a family permission to move under the following conditions:
Insufficient Funding
The PHA may deny a family permission to move either within or outside the PHA’s jurisdiction if the PHA does not have sufficient funding for continued assistance [24 CFR 982.354(e)(1)].
However, Notice PIH 2012-42 significantly restricts the ability of PHAs to deny permission to move due to insufficient funding and places further requirements on PHAs regarding moves denied due to lack of funding. The requirements found in this notice are mandatory.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will deny a family permission to move on grounds that RHA does not have sufficient funding for continued assistance if (a) the move is initiated by the family, not the owner or RHA; (b) RHA can demonstrate that the move will, in fact, result in higher subsidy costs; and (c) RHA can demonstrate, in accordance with the policies in Part VIII of Chapter 16, that it does not have sufficient funding in its annual budget to accommodate the higher subsidy costs.
The PHA will create a list of families whose moves have been denied due to insufficient funding. When funds become available, the families on the list will take precedence over families on the waiting list.
The PHA will inform the family of its policy regarding moves denied due to insufficient funding in a letter to the family at the time the move is denied.
Grounds for Denial or Termination of Assistance
The PHA may deny a family permission to move if it has grounds for denying or terminating the family’s assistance [24 CFR 982.354(e)(2)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If RHA has grounds for denying or terminating a family’s assistance or is in the process of termination, accordance with the regulations and policies set forth in Chapters 3 and 12, RHA will act on those grounds and deny the move. However, RHA retains the discretion to permit moves under special circumstances.

Restrictions on Elective Moves [24 CFR 982.354(c)]
HUD regulations permit the PHA to prohibit any elective move by a participant family during the family’s initial lease term. They also permit the PHA to prohibit more than one elective move by a participant family during any 12-month period. However, such prohibitions, if adopted, do not apply when the family or a member of the family is or has been the victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking and the move is needed to protect the health or safety of the family or family member. (For policy on documentation of abuse, see section 10- I-A.) In addition, the PHA may not establish a policy permitting moves only at reexamination [Notice PIH 2012-42].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA’s policy is to deny a family permission to make an elective move during the family’s initial lease term. This policy applies to moves within RHA’s jurisdiction or outside the jurisdiction (portability).
RHA’s policy is to deny a family permission to make more than one elective move during any 12-month period. This policy applies to all assisted families residing in RHA’s jurisdiction.
RHA will consider exceptions to these policies for the following reasons: to protect the health or safety of a family member (e.g., lead-based paint hazards, domestic violence, and witness protection programs), to accommodate a change in family circumstances (e.g., new employment, school attendance in a distant area), or to address an emergency situation over which a family has no control.
In addition, RHA will allow exceptions to these policies for purposes of reasonable accommodation of a family member who is a person with disabilities (see Chapter 2).
RHA may deny a family’s request to move for any of the following reasons:
• Outstanding rent or damages owed to the landlord.
• Unpaid repayment agreements with RHA.
• Accounts receivable debt owed to RHA.
• The family is not compliant with their family obligations under 24 CFR 982.551, including failure to supply requested information or allowing unauthorized occupants.
• The family has violated program requirements or is currently under investigation for a program violation.
10-I.C. MOVING PROCESS
Notification
If a family wishes to move to a new unit, the family must give a written 30-day notice to the PHA and the owner before moving out of the old unit or terminating the lease [24 CFR 982.354(d)(2)]. If the family wishes to move to a unit outside the PHA’s jurisdiction under portability, the notice to the PHA must specify the area where the family wishes to move [24 CFR 982.354(d)(2), Notice PIH 2012-42]. The notices must be in writing [24 CFR 982.5].
Approval
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 10-5
Adopted May 18, 2016
Upon receipt of a family’s notification that it wishes to move, RHA will determine whether the move is approvable in accordance with the regulations and policies set forth in sections 10-I.A and 10-I.B. RHA will notify the family in writing of its determination within 10 business days following receipt of the family’s notification.
Reexamination of Family Income and Composition
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
For families approved to move to a new unit within RHA’s jurisdiction, RHA will perform a new annual reexamination in accordance with the policies set forth in Chapter 11 of this plan. If all of the most recent annual reexamination paperwork is less than 120 days old, RHA will process an Other Change of Unit.
For families moving into or families approved to move out of RHA’s jurisdiction under portability, RHA will follow the policies set forth in Part II of this chapter.
Voucher Issuance and Briefing
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
For families approved to move to a new unit within RHA’s jurisdiction, RHA will issue a new voucher within 10 business days of RHA’s approval to move. No briefing is required for these families. RHA will follow the policies set forth in Chapter 5 on voucher term, extension and expiration. If a family does not locate a new unit within the term of the voucher and any extensions, the family may remain in its current unit with continued voucher assistance if the owner agrees and RHA approves. Otherwise, the family will lose its assistance.
For families moving into or families approved to move out of RHA’s jurisdiction under portability, RHA will follow the policies set forth in Part II of this chapter.
Housing Assistance Payments [24 CFR 982.311(d)]
When a family moves out of an assisted unit, the PHA may not make any housing assistance payment to the owner for any month after the month the family moves out.
If a participant family moves from an assisted unit with continued tenant-based assistance, the term of the assisted lease for the new assisted unit may begin during the month the family moves out of the first assisted unit. Overlap of the last housing assistance payment (for the month when the family moves out of the old unit) and the first assistance payment for the new unit, is not considered to constitute a duplicative housing subsidy.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA allows the overlap of HAP for a maximum of one day. Exceptions may be considered as a reasonable accommodation if needed for persons with disabilities.

PART II: PORTABILITY
10-II.A. OVERVIEW
Within the limitations of the regulations and this plan, a participant family or an applicant family, with portability rights, that has been issued a voucher has the right to use tenant-based voucher assistance to lease a unit anywhere in the United States providing that the unit is located within the jurisdiction of a PHA administering a tenant-based voucher program [24 CFR 982.353(b)]. The process by which a family obtains a voucher from one PHA and uses it to lease a unit in the jurisdiction of another PHA is known as portability. The PHA that issues the voucher is called the initial PHA. The PHA that has jurisdiction in the area to which the family wants to move is called the receiving PHA.
The receiving PHA has the option of administering the family’s voucher for the initial PHA or absorbing the family into its own program. Under the first option, the receiving PHA provides all housing services for the family and bills the initial PHA for the family’s housing assistance payments and the fees for administering the family’s voucher. Under the second option, the receiving PHA pays for the family’s assistance with its own program funds, and the initial PHA has no further relationship with the family. The initial PHA must contact the receiving PHA via email or other confirmed delivery method to determine whether the receiving PHA’s response, the initial PHA must determine whether they will approve or deny the portability request {Notice PIH 2012-42].
PHAs commonly act both as the initial and receiving PHA because families may move into or out of their jurisdiction under portability. Each role involves different responsibilities. The PHA will follow the rules and policies in section 10-II.B when it is acting as the initial PHA for a family. It will follow the rules and policies in section 10-II.C when it is acting as the receiving PHA for a family.
In administering portability, the initial PHA and the receiving PHA must comply with financial procedures required by HUD, including the use of HUD-required forms [24 CFR 982.355(e)(5)].
PHAs must also comply with billing and payment deadlines. HUD may reduce an administrative fee to an initial or receiving PHA if the PHA does not comply with HUD portability requirements [24 CFR 982.355(e)(7)].
10-II.B. INITIAL PHA ROLE
Allowable Moves under Portability
A family may move with voucher assistance only to an area where there is at least one PHA administering a voucher program [24 CFR 982.353(b)]. If there is more than one PHA in the area, initial PHA provides the family with the contact information for the receiving PHAs that serve the area, and the family selects the receiving PHA. The family must inform the initial PHA which PHA it has selected. If the family prefers not to select the receiving PHA, the initial PHA will select the receiving PHA on behalf of the family (24 CFR 982.255(b).
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 10-7
Adopted May 18, 2016
Applicant families that have been issued vouchers as well as participant families may qualify to lease a unit outside the PHA’s jurisdiction under portability. HUD regulations and PHA policy determine whether a family qualifies.
Applicant Families
HUD gives the PHA discretion to deny a portability move by an applicant family for the same two reasons that it may deny any move by a participant family: insufficient funding and grounds for denial or termination of assistance. If a PHA intends to deny a family permission to move under portability due to insufficient funding, the PHA must notify HUD within 10 business days of the determination to deny the move [24 CFR 982.355(e)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Applicant families with the residency preference that choose to move under portability to a jurisdiction with a voucher program will be permitted to transfer their voucher under portability. Applicant families without the residency preference do not have the right to move under portability until 12 months after they are admitted to the program [24 CFR 982.353(c)].
RHA will consider exceptions to this policy for purposes of reasonable accommodation (see Chapter 2), or reasons related to domestic violence, dating violence or stalking.
In determining whether or not to deny an applicant family permission to move under portability because RHA lacks sufficient funding or has grounds for denying assistance to the family, the initial PHA will follow the policies established in section 10-I.B of this chapter.
Participant Families
The initial PHA must not provide portable assistance for a participant if a family has moved out of its assisted unit in violation of the lease [24 CFR 982.353(b)]. The Violence against Women Act of 2013 (VAWA) creates an exception to this prohibition for families who are otherwise in compliance with program obligations but have moved to protect the health or safety of a family member who is or has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking and who reasonably believed he or she was imminently threatened by harm from further violence if they remained in the unit [24CFR 982.353(b)].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will determine whether a participant family may move out of RHA’s jurisdiction with continued assistance in accordance with the regulations and policies set forth here and in sections 10-I.A and 10-I.B of this chapter. RHA will notify the family of its determination in accordance with the approval policy set forth in section 10-I.C of this chapter.
A family may not exercise portability if they owe money to the Housing Authority.

Determining Income Eligibility
Applicant Families
An applicant family may lease a unit in a particular area under portability only if the family is income eligible for admission to the voucher program in that area [24 CFR 982.353(d)(3)]. The family must specify the area to which the family wishes to move [24 CFR 982.355 (c)(1).
The initial PHA is responsible for determining whether the family is income eligible in the area to which the family wishes to move [24 CFR 982.355(c)(1)]. If the applicant family is not income eligible in that area, the PHA must inform the family that it may not move there and receive voucher assistance [Notice PIH 2012-42].
Participant Families
The income eligibility of a participant family is not redetermined if the family moves to a new jurisdiction under portability [24 CFR 982.353(d)(2)]
Reexamination of Family Income and Composition
No new reexamination of family income and composition is required for an applicant family.
Briefing
The regulations and policies on briefings set forth in Chapter 5 of this plan require the PHA to provide information on portability to all applicant families that qualify to lease a unit outside the PHA’s jurisdiction under the portability procedures. Therefore, no special briefing is required for these families.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
No formal briefing will be required for a participant family wishing to move outside the PHA’s jurisdiction under portability. However, the PHA will provide the family with the same oral and written explanation of portability that it provides to applicant families selected for admission to the program (see Chapter 5).
The PHA will provide the name, address, and phone of the contact for the PHAs in the jurisdiction to which they wish to move. If there is more than one PHA with jurisdiction over the area to which the family wishes to move, the PHA will advise the family that the family must select the receiving PHA and notify the initial PHA of which receiving PHA was selected. The PHA will further inform the family that if the family prefers not to select the receiving PHA, the initial PHA will select the receiving PHA on behalf of the family.
The PHA will advise the family that they will be under the RHA’s policies and procedures, including screening, subsidy standards, voucher extension policies, and payment standards.
Voucher Issuance and Term
An applicant family has no right to portability until after the family has been issued a voucher [24 CFR 982.353(b)]. In issuing vouchers to applicant families, the PHA will follow the regulations and procedures set forth in Chapter 5.
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 10-9
Adopted May 18, 2016
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
For families approved to move under portability, RHA will issue a new voucher within 10 business days of the PHA’s receipt of written portability request.
The initial term of the voucher will be 90 days.
Voucher Extensions and Expiration
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will approve no extensions to a voucher issued to an applicant or participant family porting out of RHA’s jurisdiction except under the following circumstances:
(a) the initial term of the voucher will expire before the portable family will be issued a voucher by the receiving PHA, (b) the family decides to return to the initial PHA’s jurisdiction and search for a unit there, or (c) the family decides to search for a unit in a third PHA’s jurisdiction. In such cases, the policies on voucher extensions set forth in Chapter 5, section 5-II.E, of this plan will apply, including the requirement that the family apply for an extension in writing prior to the expiration of the initial voucher term.
To receive or continue receiving assistance under the initial PHA’s voucher program, a family that moves to another PHA’s jurisdiction under portability must be under HAP contract in the receiving PHA’s jurisdiction within 90 days following the expiration date of the initial PHA’s voucher term (including any extensions). (See below under “Initial Billing Deadline” for one exception to this policy.) Preapproval Contact with the Receiving PHA
Prior to approving a family’s request to move under portability, the initial PHA must contact the receiving PHA via e-mail or other confirmed delivery method to determine whether the receiving PHA will administer or absorb the family’s voucher. Based on the receiving PHA’s response, the initial PHA must determine whether it will approve or deny the move [Notice PIH 2012-42].
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
The PHA will use e-mail, when possible, to contact the receiving PHA regarding whether the receiving PHA will administer or absorb the family’s voucher.
Initial Notification to the Receiving PHA
After approving a family’s request to move under portability, the initial PHA must promptly notify the receiving PHA via email or other confirmed delivery method to expect the family [24 CFR 982.355(c)(3); 24 CFR 982.355(c)(7)]. The initial PHA must also advise the family how to contact and request assistance from the receiving PHA [24 CFR 982.355(c)(6)].
Sending Documentation to the Receiving PHA
The initial PHA is required to send the receiving PHA the following documents:
• Form HUD-52665, Family Portability Information, with Part I filled out [Notice PIH 2012-42]
Roseville Housing Authority
HCV Administrative Plan Page 10-10
Adopted May 18, 2016
• A copy of the family’s voucher [Notice PIH 2012-42]
• A copy of the family’s most recent form HUD-50058, Family Report, or, if necessary, in the case of an applicant family, family and income information in a format similar to that of form HUD-50058 [24 CFR 982.355(c)(7), Notice PIH 2012-42] • Copies of the income verifications backing up the form HUD-50058 including a copy of the family’s current EIV data. [24 CFR 982.355(c)(7), Notice PIH 2012-42] Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
In addition to these documents, RHA will provide the following information, if available, to the receiving PHA:
• Social security numbers (SSNs)
• Documentation of SSNs for all nonexempt household members whose SSNs have not been verified through the EIV system
• HUD-52675 Debts Owed form
• Documentation of citizenship or eligible immigration status • Documentation of participation in the earned income disallowance (EID) benefit • Documentation of participation in a Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program Initial Billing Deadline [Notice PIH 2012-42, Letter to Executive Directors, 9/15/15] The deadline is for submission of initial billing is 90 days following the expiration date of the voucher issued to the family by the initial PHA. If the initial PHA does not receive a billing notice by the deadline and does not intend to honor a late billing submission, it must contact the receiving PHA to determine the status of the family. If the receiving PHA reports that the family is not yet under HAP contract, the initial PHA may refuse to accept a late billing submission.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
If RHA has not received an initial billing notice from the receiving PHA within 90 days of expiration of the IHA’s voucher, it will contact the receiving PHA by phone, fax, or e-mail. If the PHA reports that the family is not yet under HAP contract, RHA will inform the receiving PHA that it will not honor a late billing submission and will return any subsequent billings that it receives on behalf of the family. RHA will send the receiving PHA a written confirmation of its decision by mail.
RHA will allow an exception to this policy if the family includes a person with disabilities and the late billing is a result of a reasonable accommodation granted to the family by the receiving PHA.
Monthly Billing Payments [24 CFR 982.355(e), Notice PIH 2012-42] If the receiving PHA is administering the family’s voucher the receiving PHA bills the initial PHA for housing assistance payments and administrative fees. When reimbursing for administrative fees, the initial PHA must promptly reimburse the receiving PHA for the lesser of 80 percent of the initial PHA ongoing administrative fee or 100 percent of the receiving PHA’s
ongoing administrative fee for each program unit under contract on the first day of the month for which the receiving PHA is billing the initial PHA under portability. If the administrative fees are prorated for the HCV program, the proration will apply to the amount of the administrative fee for which the receiving PHA may bill [24 CFR 982.355(e)(2).The initial PHA may not terminate or delay making payments under existing portability billing arrangements as a result of over leasing or funding shortfalls. The PHA must manage its tenant-based program in a manner that ensures that it has the financial ability to provide assistance for families that move out of its jurisdiction under portability and are not absorbed by receiving PHAs as well as for families that remain within its jurisdiction.
Annual Updates of Form HUD-50058
If the initial PHA is being billed on behalf of a portable family, it should receive an updated form HUD-50058 each year from the receiving PHA. If the initial PHA fails to receive an updated 50058 by the family’s annual reexamination date, the initial PHA should contact the receiving PHA to verify the status of the family.
Denial or Termination of Assistance [24 CFR 982.355(c)(17)] At any time, either the initial PHA or the receiving PHA may make a determination to deny or terminate assistance with the family in accordance with 24 CFR 982.552 and 24 CFR 982.553. (For PHA policies on denial and termination, see Chapters 3 and 12, respectively.) 10-II.C. RECEIVING PHA ROLE
10-II.C.1 FAMILY COMPOSITION DURING PORT-IN
When a family ports from one Housing Authority to another jurisdiction, the PHA will review and verify the household composition listed on the HUD-52665 and the most recent HUD-50058 provided by the Initial PHAuse the current family composition.
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
Only the individuals listed on the HUD-52665 and confirmed through the Initial PHA’s most recent HUD-50058 will be recognized as the assisted household upon port-in. RHA will not add any additional household members during the port-in process except for mandatory additions under HUD regulation, which include:
• Birth of a child
• Adoption
• Court-awarded custody
These additions must be reported promptly and verified before RHA updates the household record. All other requests to add household members, regardless of relationship, need, or prior living arrangement, will not be approved during the port-in intake period. The family must complete the port-in process first and then follow RHA’s standard policy for requesting household additions.
The family must request and obtain written approval from RHA before any person may join the household. This requirement is consistent with RHA’s established family obligations language. Any person not approved by RHA is considered an unauthorized household member, subject to program violation procedures under 24 CFR 982.551(e)
and (h).
If a family has a right to lease a unit in the receiving PHA’s jurisdiction under portability, the receiving PHA must provide assistance for the family [24 CFR 982.355(10)].
HUD may determine in certain instances that a PHA is not required to accept incoming portable families, such as a PHA in a declared disaster area. However, the PHA must have approval in writing from HUD before refusing any incoming portable families [24 CFR 982.355(b)].
Administration of the voucher must be in accordance with the receiving PHA’s policies. This requirement also applies to policies of Moving to Work agencies. The receiving PHA procedures and preferences for selection among eligible applicants do not apply to the family, and the receiving PHA waiting list is not used [24 CFR 982.355(c)(10)]. The family’s unit, or voucher, size is determined in accordance with the subsidy standards of the receiving PHA [24 CFR 982.355(c)(12)], and the receiving PHA’s policies on extensions of the voucher term apply [24 CFR 982.355(c)(14)].
Responding to Initial PHA’s Request [24 CFR 982.355(c)] The receiving PHA must respond via e-mail or other confirmed delivery method to the initial PHA’s inquiry to determine whether the family’s voucher will be billed or absorbed [24 CFR 982.355(c)(3)]. If the receiving PHA informs the initial PHA that it will be absorbing the voucher, the receiving PHA cannot reverse its decision at a later date without consent of the initial PHA (24 CFR 982.355(c)(4).
Roseville Housing Authority (RHA) Policy
RHA will use e-mail, when possible, to notify the initial PHA whether it will administer or absorb the family’s voucher.
