B.1 Statement of Housing Needs and Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs
1. Provide a statement addressing the housing needs of low‐income, very low‐income and extremely low‐income families
According to the Maricopa Urban County 2015‐2020 Five Year Consolidated Plan, many Maricopa County residents pay more
than 50% of their income on housing and utilities.
Of the 23,471 extremely low‐ income renting households… It is estimated that a total of 42,395 households (6% of all
households within the Urban County) are households
15% are elderly earning less than 30% of the median income. 92% of
38% are small households HAMC public housing applicants and 82% of the HCV
applicants are at or below this income level. The table

Of the 24,679 very low‐income renting households… It is estimated that a total of 46,510 households or 6.5% of
all households in HAMC’s jurisdiction are comprised of
23% are elderly households earning between 31 to 50% of the median
34% are small households income with housing problems of some sort. 6% of HAMC
public housing applicants and 12% of the HCV applicants

32% are one‐person households
table below describes the type of households that were
facing housing issues at 50% of the median income.
Of the 29,546 low‐income renting households… It is estimated that a total of 64,280 households or 9% of
households in HAMC’s jurisdiction are comprised of
15% are elderly households earning 51% to 80% of the median income
39% are small households with housing problems of some sort. This group makes up
9% are large households only 1% of HAMC’s public housing applicants and 6% of
37%are one‐person households HCV applicants on HAMC’s current waitlist. The table
below describes the type of households that were facing
housing issues at 80% of the median income.
HAMC’s mission is to improve the quality of life of families and strengthen communities by developing and sustaining
affordable housing programs, and an important strategic priority for the Agency is to increase housing options in underserved
communities and to maintain the affordability and subsidy for each HAMC property. HAMC will accomplish all of this by:
 Serving in the County’s efforts to end chronic homelessness
 Exploring options for mixed income communities throughout Maricopa County jurisdiction
 Investigating the availability of VASH voucher funding or the viability of establishing a veterans housing program
 Repositioning and repurposing existing portfolio for supportive or affordable housing options
 Exploring the creation of a home ownership program
 Creating and implementing redevelopment strategies for the entire HAMC portfolio
 Applying for all opportunities to grow rental assistance programming
 Diversifying affordable housing options in high opportunity neighborhoods
 Applying for Moving to Work (MTW) designation
 Applying for grants that would provide additional supportive services to HAMC program participants
 Applying for grants that would provide additional housing opportunities to Maricopa County residents

3. Provide a description of the PHA’s strategy for addressing the housing needs of families in the jurisdiction and on the
waiting list in the upcoming year. (24 CFR §903.7(a)(2)(ii))
When it comes to strong, safe, and healthy communities, lower cost rental housing is particularly scarce. A recent survey
conducted in the Maricopa HOME Consortium shows significant waiting lists in effect for federal rental assistance programs.
Many in the community await assistance from HAMC. Currently there are 6730 applicant households on HAMC Housing
waitlists and 5728 families on Housing Choice Voucher waitlists.
The HAMC‐MMIC BRIDGE Program grew from 50 to 100 subsidies within the first year. Though the program is not yet leased up
to capacity, all of the slots are active and participants are in search mode. HAMC anticipates increasing the number of
subsidies it administers on behalf of MMIC this year to 200.
HCV implemented an Attrition Program to assist in the County’s efforts to end homelessness. Due to program irregularities
found, HAMC put a hold on the program. HAMC met with local McKinney Vento reps to figure out the connection with
homeless families within HAMC jurisdiction. Tenant Based Rental Assistance program focused on the justice‐involved has been
developed and executed in partnership with County Corrections and Human Services department. Staff attended Shared
Housing Training and a homeless youth event. HAMC hopes to incorporate shared housing and design programming focused on
serving homeless youth in the upcoming year.
Public Housing Program experienced modest improvement in CY 2017 in housing our homeless population. Fourteen (14)
families, with a “verifiable” Homeless preference were pulled from the CY 2017 Public Housing Wait List and housed within our
communities.
Madison Heights has a designated 30 units reserved for Homeless families. In CY 2017, a total of five (5) families with a
“Homeless” Designation moved into Madison Heights. As of 12/27/2017, 27 of the 30 units are occupied with families that
received a Homeless preference.
HAMC and Department of Economic Security/Division of Developmental Disabilities (DES/DDD) established a partnership in the
Coffelt‐Lamoreaux community whereby twenty‐seven (27) units will be made available at the property for occupancy by
qualified DDD member referrals from DES/DDD.
It is anticipated that the HAMC will expand their involvement in housing the homeless through: ‐Future Property Acquisitions in
both Surprise and Tempe ‐Increase communication with the Bridge Program to inform of unit vacancies ‐Continued monitoring
of Income Targeting Requirements for PBRA Wait List, which should include homeless populations.

B.1 Deconcentration and Other Policies that Govern Eligibility, Selection, and Admissions
Deconcentration Policy
The PHA will monitor its admissions to ensure that at least 40 percent (40%) of families admitted to public housing in each fiscal
year shall have incomes that do not exceed thirty percent (30%) of area median income of the PHA’s jurisdiction. Hereafter,
families whose incomes do not exceed 30% of area median income will be referred to as “extremely low income families”.
The PHA shall have the discretion, at least annually, to exercise the “fungibility” provision of the QHWRA by admitting less than
40 percent of “extremely low income families” to public housing in a fiscal year, to the extent that admissions of extremely low
income families to the PHA’s voucher program during a PHA fiscal year exceeds the 75 percent minimum targeting requirement
for the PHA’s Section 8 Voucher Program. This fungibility provision discretion by the PHA is also reflected in the PHA’s
Administrative Plan.
The fungibility credits will be used to drop the annual requirement below 40 percent of admissions to public housing for
extremely low income families by the lowest of the following amounts:
1. The number of units equal to 10 percent (10%) of the number of newly available vouchers in the fiscal year; or
2. The number of public housing units that 1) are in public housing projects located in census tracts having a poverty
rate of 30% or more, and 2) are made available for occupancy by and actually occupied in that year by, families other
than extremely low‐income families.
The Fungibility Floor
Regardless of the above two amounts, in a fiscal year, at least 30% of the PHA’s admissions to public housing will be to
extremely low‐income families. The fungibility floor is the number of units that cause the PHA’s overall requirement for
housing extremely low‐income families to drop to 30% of its newly available units.
Fungibility shall only be utilized if the PHA is anticipated to fall short of its 40% goal for new admissions to public housing.
Low Income Family Admissions
Once the PHA has met the 40% targeted income requirement for new admissions of extremely low‐income families, the PHA
will fill the remainder of its new admission units with families whose incomes do not exceed 80% of the HUD approved area
median income.
The PBRA Program will adopt the Tenant Selection Plan (TSP), EIV Use and Security Policy and relevant housing policies to
govern eligibility, selection and admission of all new participants. All in‐place residents, as of December 1, 2017 will not be re‐
screened to determine eligibility or program admission but most adhere to TSP guidance, EIV Use and Security Policy on
continued eligibility and relevant housing policies.
Eligibility, Selection and Admissions
The Public Housing program adopted the Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women Act (form HUD‐5380).
The Notice informs applicants and tenants of the protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or
stalking.
References to criminal arrests was removed from screening criteria for admission into the Public Housing Program.
_______

Public Housing Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy implemented the following policy changes due to regulatory
updates
Mixed Family Rents
HUD regulations prohibit assistance to ineligible family members. A mixed family is one that includes at least one U.S. citizen or
eligible immigrant and any number of ineligible family members. HAMC must prorate the assistance provided to a mixed
family. To do this, HAMC must:
(1) Determine the Total tenant payment in accordance with 24 CFR 5.628. Annual income includes income of all family
members, including any family member who has not established eligible immigration status.
(2) Family maximum rent is equal to the applicable flat rent for the unit size to be occupied by the family.
(3) Divide the family maximum subsidy by the number of persons in the family (all household members) to determine the
maximum subsidy per each family member who has citizenship or eligible immigration status (eligible household member).
The subsidy per eligible family member is “member maximum subsidy.”
(4) Divide the family maximum subsidy by the number of persons in the family (all household members) to determine the
maximum subsidy per household member who has citizenship or eligible immigration status (“eligible household
member”). The subsidy per eligible family member is the “member maximum subsidy”.
(5) Multiply the member maximum subsidy by the number of family members who have citizenship or eligible immigration
status (eligible household members). The product of this calculation is the “eligible subsidy”.
(6) The mixed family TTP is the maximum rent minus the amount of the eligible subsidy.
(7) Subtract any applicable utility allowance from the mixed family TTP. The result of this calculation is the mixed family
tenant rent.
When the mixed family’s TTP is greater than the maximum rent, HAMC must use the TTP as the mixed family TTP.
Revised public housing prorated rents will be applied to a family’s rent calculation at the first annual re‐certification after the
revision is adopted.
Earned Income Disallowance
The EID has a two year (24‐month) lifetime maximum. The two year eligibility period begins at the same time that the initial
exclusion period begins and ends 24 months later. The one‐time eligibility for the EID applies even if the eligible individual
begins to receive assistance from another housing agency, if the individual moves between public housing and Section 8
assistance, or if there are breaks in assistance.
During the 24‐month eligibility period, HAMC will conduct an interim re‐certification each time there is a change in the family
member’s annual income that affects or is affected by the EID (e.g., when the family member’s income falls to a level at or
below his/her pre‐qualifying income, when one of the exclusion periods ends, and at the end of the lifetime maximum eligibility
period).
Even if the full 24 months of disallowance (12 months of full disallowance plus 12 months of 50% disallowance) have not been
used, the EID will terminate 24 months from the date when the resident first qualified for the EID.
Arrest Records in Determining Eligibility
The fact that an applicant or tenant was arrested for a disqualifying offense shall not be treated or regarded as proof that the
applicant or tenant engaged in a disqualifying criminal activity. The arrest may, however, trigger an investigation to determine
whether the applicant or tenant actually engaged in the disqualifying criminal activity. As part of its investigation, HAMC may

obtain the police report associated with the arrest and consider the reported circumstances of the arrest. HAMC may also
consider any statements made by witnesses or the applicant or tenant not included in the police report; whether criminal
charges were filed; whether, if filed, criminal charges were abandoned, dismissed, not prosecuted, or ultimately resulted in an
acquittal; and any other evidence relevant to determining whether or not the applicant or tenant engaged in disqualifying
activity.
Extension for submission of Social Security Numbers
An applicant family with a child under the age of 6 years may become a participant family, even if the SSN for the child has not
been verified at the time of admission. If the SSN has still not been verified at the end of the initial 90‐day period, then the
HAMC must determine whether a 90‐day extension is merited. If it is not merited, then the HAMC must follow the provisions
of 24 CFR 5.218. If a 90‐day extension is merited, then HAMC must either verify the SSN for the child by the end of the 90‐day
extension period or follow the provisions of 24 CFR 5.218 regarding termination of assistance/tenancy.
Updated Definition of Extremely Low Income
Extremely low‐income family. A family whose annual income does not exceed the higher of 30 percent of the area median
income or the federal poverty level for the area, adjusted for family size.
Flat Rent Requirements
PHAs have the option to extend a previously approved exception request for an additional two years after the initial approval,
barring any substantive market condition changes.
In the event that a PHA has conflicting LIHTC maximum rents and HUD minimum flat rents, the PHA should set flat rents so as
not to exceed the LIHTC maximum rent.
HUD has set a deadline for the submission of new flat rent exception requests and extension requests, which in a typical year
would be December 31, 2017. However, for the fiscal year 2018 submissions the deadline is February 16, 2018.
HUD staff will provide up to two new submission reviews with written requests for additional information, if needed. If the PHA
cannot provide sufficient information to justify the exception after two requests for additional information, HUD will deny the
flat rent exception request.
Market analyses accompanying new submissions must value PHA units according to local market conditions. The PHA may not
request an exception flat rent that is lower than the demonstrated market value of the unit.
To improve transparency and accuracy of reporting, PHAs administering ceiling rents must use line 10b (flat rent) on the HUD
Form‐50058 to report the applicable maximum rental amount.
In the event that HUD receives a request to reevaluate a metropolitan area's FMRs, the 90‐day flat rent exception request
deadline will be calculated based on the effective date of the reevaluated FMRs.

B.1 Rent Determination
HCV Administrative Policy Chapter 10.5 Payment Standards for the Voucher Program
The Payment Standard is used to calculate the housing assistance payment for a family and is based on Fair Market Rents (FMR)
published by HUD on an annual basis. Maricopa County is included in the Phoenix Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMA) Fair Market
Rents.
HAMC will maintain the payment standards at a minimum of 90% and a maximum of 110% of the published FMR. HAMC will
review and analyze the payment standards on an annual basis but will not revise the payment standards each year when the new
FMR’s are published if the current payment standards remain at a minimum of 90% and a maximum of 100% of the newly
published FMR’s.
When reviewing the payment standard on an annual basis, HAMC will consider the available budget authority and determine if a
reduction in payment standards is needed including an amount below 90% of the published FMR, to assist a maximum number
of households up to HAMC’s baseline allocation. If it is determined that payment standards below 90% of FMR is needed, a
waiver will be secured from HUD with corresponding justification.
Case by case reviews of a higher payment standard will be considered as a reasonable accommodation for a family that includes
a person with disabilities. If appropriate, HAMC will approve a payment standard up to 120% of the FMR.

6 $2,025 $2,072 $2,072
Above Payment Standards are effective 1/1/2017

B.1 Operations and Management
The goal for each HAMC managed property is to:
 Maintain the property in excellent condition
 Keep expenses within the operating budget
 Explore opportunities for revenue growth or expense reduction
 Assess and address capital needs proactively
 Comply with all Federal, State, and local laws and regulations
 Provide excellent customer service to all residents
Maintenance:
HAMC emphasizes the importance of maintaining control of the maintenance work by performing scheduled routine
and preventive work. By doing so, the Authority will decrease on‐demand work and maintain the property in a
manner that will keep and attract good tenants.
The work order priority system ensures that the most important maintenance work is done at a time it can be
performed most cost‐effectively. Minimizing vacancy loss is part of the cost‐effectiveness calculation. The
maintenance priorities of HAMC are the following:
 Emergency Repairs
 Resident Requests
 Unit Turnover
 Inspections
 Miscellaneous
Emergency repairs are repair needs which threaten the life, health, or safety of a resident and need to be responded
to within 24 hours.
Resident requests are very important to HAMC as residents can be the eyes and ears for the staff, informing them of
smaller problems before they become larger problems. Providing excellent customer service will improve the living
quality for the residents.
The maintenance procedure for reoccupying vacant units relies on the prompt notification by management of the
vacancy, fast and accurate inspection of the unit, ready availability of workers and materials, and good
communication with those responsible for leasing the unit. The Housing Manager has the authority to create special
teams for vacancy turnaround or to hire contractors when it is necessary to meet the Authority goals to increase
occupancy.
1. Smoke Free Housing:
As of September 2016, all HAMC owned and managed housing developments are designated “Smoke Free” housing
communities. Smoking is prohibited inside and outside the units with the exception of five (5) properties, which have
a designated smoking area. Also, effective January 1, 2017, HAMC prohibited smoking and the use of tobacco
products at its Administrative Office Building.
2. Waiting Lists: The existing Public Housing wait lists were reviewed and modified due to the forthcoming RAD
conversion to Project Based Rental Assistance. The current wait lists are as follows:
Mesa Area‐ Office located at 710 W. 8th Ave, Mesa.
Clare Feldstadt (Site 1) 710 W. 8th Ave, Mesa consisting of all 2 bedrooms (Remain PH)

Maricopa Revitalization, Rose Terrace Apartment, and Heritage at Surprise waiting lists are managed under the

3. VAWA Provisions: The Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy regarding resident transfers was modified to
treat victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking as an “emergency transfer” upon
request. The policy change follows HUD’s “Model Emergency Transfer Plan” related to VAWA and HAMC incorporated
the use of HUD‐5383 form for requesting the transfer. All applicants and tenants are being required to sign the
Notice of Occupancy Rights under the violence Against Women Act.
HAMC also incorporated these policies at the HAMC managed sites, Maricopa Revitalization and Rose Terrace
Apartments I and II.

B.1 Asset Management
HAMC continues to convert its entire Public Housing portfolio under HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD). Using this
affordable housing model, HAMC can preserve its housing inventory, provide project improvements and maintain resident
services to address the housing needs of low‐income families. Both the RAD‐PBV and RAD‐PBRA programs allow HAMC to
convert assistance under the public housing program to long‐term, project‐based Section 8 assistance. The conversion has
experienced considerable progress and continues to pursue strategic site development and facilitate potential housing for
under‐housed families within its jurisdiction.
 Effective October 1, 2017, the RAD conversion of 40 units of public housing at Rose Terrace Apartments and 13 units
at Maricopa Revitalization to Project Based Vouchers (PBV).
 Effective December 1, 2017, the RAD conversion of 282 units of public housing at ten (10) separate sites to Project
Based Rental Assistance (PBRA).
 The balance of the public housing portfolio is in various stages with the balance of the portfolio transitioning to
Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA).
 The RAD conversion of Madison Heights (143 units) has been completed. The conversion included the relocation of
the households at Norton Circle and Watson Homes to the new site. HAMC has obtained the release of the
Declarations of Trust for the two properties from HUD. With this release, HAMC is able to provide the communities
with additional affordable rental housing options.
 The RAD conversion of Coffelt is completed. The opening is scheduled for April 2018.
Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (HOTMA)
In October 2016, HUD published initial implementation guidance for HOTMA, and a few of the HOTMA provisions became
effective.
 Reasonable accommodation payment standards. HOTMA allows PHAs to establish a payment standard of up to 120
percent of fair market rent (FMR) without HUD approval as a reasonable accommodation for a person with a
disability. Because the streamlining rule previously provided PHAs with this flexibility, no action is required to
implement this provision.
 Establishment of FMR. This provision changes how HUD publishes FMRs and the procedures for comment and
requests for reevaluation. Additionally, HOTMA provides that in the housing choice voucher (HCV) program, no PHA is
required as a result of a reduction in the FMR to reduce the payment standard of a family continuing to reside in a
unit under HAP contract at the time the FMR was reduced. Should PHAs choose to use the higher payment standard
for the family’s subsidy calculation, this must be specified in the administrative plan. HUD’s FMRs for 2017 already
reflect the new procedures, and HUD will issue additional guidance with regards to payment standards in the future.
 Family Unification Program (FUP) for children aging out of foster care. HOTMA revises the length of the term that an
FUP‐eligible youth may receive FUP assistance from 18 to 36 months, in addition to revising the eligibility
requirements for FUP‐eligible youth. Changes to the FUP program were effective upon implementation of HOTMA
and PHAs were made aware of the new provision by means of a letter to FUP PHA executive directors on August 29,
2016. Further details can be found in today’s guidance.
 Preference for United States citizens or nationals. This section applies to Guam only. The provisions were effective
upon enactment of HOTMA and the details can be found within today’s guidance.
 Exception to PHA resident board member requirement. Certain jurisdictions, as specified in the guidance, are
excepted from the resident board member requirement. While effective upon implementation of HOTMA, this
exception has already been effective for a number of years through various appropriations acts.

The guidance also identified provisions not effective until HUD subsequently issues an implementation notice or regulation.
 Changes regarding initial inspections in HCV units
 Changes on the enforcement of housing quality standards (HQS) in HCV units
 Changes regarding the frequency of income reviews
 Changes on income reviews in project‐based housing, in addition to changes on project‐based assistance in general
 Limitations on public housing tenancy for over‐income families
 Limitations on eligibility for assistance based on assets
 Changes regarding PHA‐owned units
 Revisions to requirements regarding the public housing capital and operating funds
 Changes regarding the use of vouchers for manufactured housing

B.1 Significant Amendment/Modification
The Housing Authority of Maricopa County after submitting its Annual Plan to HUD, may modify, amend or change
any policy, rule, regulation or other aspect of its plan. If any modifications, amendments or changes in any policy,
rule, regulation or other aspect of the plan are not consistent with the HAMC Mission Statement, its Goals and
Objectives, or HUD regulations, then these shall not be deemed significant amendments or modifications to the
Annual and 5‐Year Plan. If new program activities are required or adopted to reflect changes in HUD regulations or as
a result of national or local emergencies, these activities are exempted actions and will not be considered as
Substantial Deviation from the 5‐Year Plan.
The definition of Substantial Deviation/Modification of the PHA Plan was amended to exclude the following items:
1. The decision to convert to either Project Based Rental Assistance or Project Based Voucher Assistance;
2. Changes to the Capital Fund Budget produced as a result of each approved RAD conversion, regardless of whether
the conversion will include use of additional Capital Funds;
3. Changes to the construction and rehabilitation plan for each approved RAD conversions; and
4. Changes to the financing structure for each approved RAD conversion.

Housing Choice Voucher Homeless Program
HCV developed a preference to use the HCV Program to house homeless families and individuals through the use of a portion of
its attrition. HAMC intends to revisit the portion of this policy as we refine the program and its procedures including but not
limited to a refined referral program.
Veteran Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH)
Previously there were no vouchers available. With Congress passing the new addition and HAMC being rated a High Performing
agency, HAMC hopes to get on HUD’s radar.
Move to Work Demonstration (MTW)
HUD is working to operationalize the 2016 Omnibus Appropriations bill signed by the President in December 2015 to expand
the MTW demonstration by an additional 100 public housing authorities (PHA) over seven years. HAMC anticipates submitting
application to the MTW demonstration once HUD requests proposals.
Other Housing Programs
HAMC will continue to look for other ways to offer housing assistance by partnering with outside agencies. HAMC is dedicated
to offering housing outside the traditional subsidized housing, hoping to assist some of our most vulnerable populations.
Housing Opportunity through Modernization Act (HOTMA)
In October 2016, HUD published initial implementation guidance for HOTMA, and a few of the HOTMA provisions became

B.2 Conversion of Public Housing to Project Based Assistance under RAD (Portfolio Conversion Summary)
HAMC’s Board of Commissioners approved application to HUD to convert its public housing and portfolio under the RAD program
to project‐based assistance on December 11, 2013. HAMC’s application to convert 461 public housing units ‐‐ the balance of its
portfolio ‐‐ was accepted and issued Commitments to Enter into Housing Assistance Payment Contracts on March 27, 2015.
HAMC is converting its Public Housing to Project Based Vouchers (PBV) and Project Based Rental Assistance (PRBA) under the
guidelines of PIH Notice 2012‐32, REV‐2, REV‐3, and any successor Notices.
Upon conversion to PBV and PBRA, HAMC will adopt the resident rights, participation, waiting list, and grievance procedures
listed in Section 1.6C and 1.6 D of PIH Notice 2012‐32, REV‐2 as it pertains to PBV, and Section 1.7B and 1.7C of PIH Notice 2012‐
32, REV‐2. HAMC’s Tenant Selection Plan and EIV Use and Security Policy drafts are included in this section.
HAMC is compliant with all fair housing and civil rights requirements. HAMC is not presently subject to a Voluntary Compliance
Agreement, consent order, consent decree, final judicial ruling or administrative ruling that has any relation to or impact on the
planned RAD conversion.
RAD was designed by HUD to assist in addressing the capital needs of public housing by providing HAMC with access to private
sources of capital to repair and preserve its affordable housing assets. Upon conversion, HAMC’s Capital Fund budget will be
reduced by the pro rata share of Public Housing Developments converted as part of the Demonstration, and HAMC may also
borrow funds to address capital needs. HAMC will also be contributing Operating Reserves in the estimated amount of
$3,300,000 and Capital Funds in the estimated amount of $1,000,000 towards the conversion. Current and future Capital Fund
Program Grants Budgets will be reduced because of RAD conversions. Full conversion of the HAMC portfolio to PBV or PBRA will
eliminate the Capital Fund Program. RAD Physical Needs Assessments (PNAs) have been completed by a third consulting party,
each one of these assessments outlines capital needs and 20‐year replacement schedule.

Development 6, Norton Circle, Avondale, AZ and
Development 7, Watson Homes, Buckeye, AZ
The Norton Circle and H.M. Watson Homes apartments are older public housing project formerly owned and operated as public
housing. HAMC converted the projects under HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program. The HUD Declarations
of Trust (DOT) were removed to allow HAMC to either rent as affordable housing with a HUD use agreement, sell the property
or redevelop it.
The Norton Circle and HM Watson Homes projects was consolidated into the newly built Madison Heights project in Avondale.
The rent subsidies were transferred to Madison Heights. The residents were relocated to the new Madison Heights project
once it was built and ready for occupancy.
At Norton Circle, the current unit mix is 18 one bedroom, 11 two bedrooms, 13 three bedrooms and 4 four bedrooms for a total
of 46 units. The project was built in 1973 and the land size is approximately 4.88 acres.
At H.M. Watson Homes; the current unit mix is 1 one‐bedroom unit, 7 two‐bedroom units, 10 three‐bedroom units and 2 four‐
bedroom units for a total of 20 units. The project was built in 1958 and the land size is approximately 3 acres.
Once HUD released the DOT, units were turned and prepared for lease up. The leasing has been slow, marketing will continue
to keep units occupied as we work through development plans for the properties.
The projects have no on‐site amenities, no office nor any community space.
Proposal for Norton Circle Development
HAMC is proposing to redevelop the project, increasing the density from 46 units to 70 units by building a new energy efficient
project with amenities competitive in the rental market. 40 of these units will be Project Based Vouchers (PBVs).
The redevelopment of Norton Circle would be financed using Tax Exempt Private Activity Bonds issued by the Industrial
Development Authority of Maricopa County (IDA), 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits and National Housing Trust Funds from
the Arizona Department of Housing (ADOH).
The project would be developed in partnership with Gorman and Company who has been working with HAMC on the RAD
Conversions and implementing the development strategy with HAMC.
The new development would consist of 30 one bedrooms, 20 two bedrooms and 20 three bedrooms for a total of 70 units. The
project would have 40 units of rental assistance through Project Based Vouchers.
Proposal for H.M. Watson homes
H.M. Watson Homes has been in service since 1958 and has 20 units; 1 one‐bedroom unit, 7 two‐bedroom units, 10 three‐
bedroom units and 2 four‐bedroom units. HAMC is in the process of evaluating the best re‐use of the property given the
changing dynamic of the Buckeye community and their housing needs. The Agency is exploring the possibility of using a
combination of PBV’s and/or the HUD Section 811 Project Rental Assistance (PRA) Program to providing integrated supportive
housing for people with disabilities.

8910 N. 78th Ave. Peoria, AZ 85345
Tenant Selection Plan
Housing Authority of Maricopa County
Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA)
Effective: December 1, 2017
HAMC is a Multi-Family Project-Based Rental Assistance property that is administered by the U. S. Department
of HUD, and is designated to attract applicants for occupancy from all potentially eligible groups of people in
the housing area regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, familial status, marital
Status, source of income, age, ancestry, medical condition, sexual orientation or any other arbitrary basis.
HAMC has unit sizes ranging from one (1) to four (4) bedrooms available for rent. To be eligible for occupancy
at this property, there must be a match between the applicant’s family size and the unit size available at
HAMC. The goal of this Tenant Selection Plan is to establish a guideline for the selection of residents in
accordance with HUD regulations, which will enhance the quality of life for our residents and improve the
financial viability of HAMC.
Availability of Plan
This Tenant Selection Plan is available to the public upon request. It will be posted in a common area of the
rental office. It may also be reviewed at 8910 N. 78th Ave., Peoria, AZ 85345 during normal office hours.
Modification of Plan
HAMC will review this Tenant Selection Plan at least once annually or when there is a change in HUD
regulations to ensure that it reflects current operating practices, program priorities, and HUD requirements. If
HAMC and/or HUD’s Contract Administrator feel the plan needs to be modified in any way, a notice of such
modification will be provided by mail to applicants on the waiting list. For this reason, the current Tenant
Selection Plan in place at HAMC will always be dated.

I. Fair Housing and
Equal Opportunity Requirements
Non-Discrimination
It is the policy of HAMC to comply fully with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VIII and Section 3 of the
Civil Rights Act of 1968 (as amended by the Community Development Act of 1974), Executive Order 11063,
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and any legislation protecting
the individual rights of residents, applicants or staff which may subsequently be enacted.
HAMC will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, age, disability, national origin, marital status,
sexual orientation, ancestry, source of income, medical condition, or any other arbitrary basis in the leasing,
rental, or other disposition of housing or related facilities, or in the use or occupancy thereof. In addition, HAMC
will not:
• Deny to any applicant the opportunity to apply for housing, nor deny to any eligible applicant the opportunity to
lease housing suitable to his/her needs;
• Provide housing which is different from that provided others;
• Subject a person to segregation or disparate treatment;
• Restrict a person’s access to any benefit enjoyed by others in connection with the housing program;
• Treat a person differently in determining eligibility or other requirements for admission;
• Deny a person access to the same level of services; or
• Deny a person the opportunity to participate in a planning or advisory group that is an integral part of the housing
program.
HAMC shall not automatically deny admission to a particular group or category of otherwise eligible applicants.
Each applicant in a particular group or category will be treated on an individual basis in the normal processing
routine.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
It is the policy of HAMC to assure that qualified individuals with handicaps or disabilities are not discriminated
against on the basis of their handicap or disability. HAMC also assures that these individuals will have equal
opportunity to receive and enjoy the benefits of living at HAMC.
Reasonable Modifications
HAMC will allow reasonable modifications to individual units or common areas when requested by applicants
and residents with disabilities. If considered reasonable by HAMC, these modifications will be made at the
property’s expense. If deemed to be unreasonable, an active dialogue will be opened between HAMC and the
disabled applicant or resident to find a mutually agreeable solution.
Reasonable Accommodations
HAMC will seek to identify and eliminate situations or procedures that create a barrier to equal housing
opportunity for all. In accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, HAMC will make
reasonable accommodation for individuals with handicaps or disabilities (applicants or residents). HAMC will
make reasonable adjustments to rules, policies, and services in order to enable an applicant or resident with a
6 of 43

disability to have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy the unit and the common area of dwelling, or to
participate in or have access to other activities conducted or sponsored by HAMC.
In reaching a reasonable accommodation with, or performing structural modifications for otherwise qualified
individuals with disabilities, HAMC is not required to:
• Make structural alterations that require the removal or altering of a load-bearing structural member;
• Provide support services that are not already part of its housing programs;
• Take any action that would result in a fundamental alteration in the nature of the program or service;
• Take any action that would result in an undue financial and administrative burden on HAMC, including
structural impracticality as defined in the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS).
Information Regarding Disabilities
HAMC ensures that any questions related to disability information on the application for housing have to do
with program eligibility and allowable medical or disability deductions for housing applicants who wish to take
advantage of those deductions. It is not required that any information regarding a possible handicap be
revealed other than for program eligibility requirements.
Auxiliary Aids to Ensure Effective Communication
HAMC will seek to effectively communicate with applicants, residents, and members of the public who are
individuals with disabilities. The use of auxiliary aides will be implemented when necessary. HAMC asks for 7
day notice in order to make any service, meeting, interview, appointment, or any business accessible.
Requests for auxiliary aids may include visual alarms, tactile signs, visual doorbells, readers, interpreters, large
print or Braille applications, leases, and other information/communications, recordings of such information,
and a community room television that provides closed-captioning service.
Assistance Animals
HAMC will allow assistive animals which are defined as animals that work, provide assistance, perform tasks
for the benefit of a person with a disability, or provide emotional support to alleviate identified symptoms or
effects of a person's disability. These animals, often referred to as assistive, service, support, or therapy
animals perform many disability-related services, including but not limited to guiding individuals who are
blind, alerting individuals who are deaf, providing minimal protection or rescue assistance, pulling a
wheelchair, fetching items, alerting persons to impending seizures, or providing emotional support to persons
with disabilities who have a disability-related need for such support. No pet deposit is required for assistive
animals. Appropriate rules of conduct will be provided for assistive animals. If an accommodation for assistive
animals causes a financial and/or administrative burden on HAMC, or becomes a danger to the safety of the
other residents or staff, the assistive animal will be denied.
Accessible Route
For mobility-impaired persons, HAMC is an accessible facility on an accessible route.
Equal Access
HAMC will provide assistance in a confidential manner and setting to insure equal access to a resident’s
documents. An individual with disabilities is responsible for providing her/his own transportation to and from
the location where all documents are kept. Documents that the resident would like to review may be
examined during regular business hours. Please contact the management office to make arrangements to
examine any documents.
Mitigating Circumstances
Section 504 and Fair Housing regulations state that consideration for mitigating circumstances shall be given to all
persons applying for occupancy. If an applicant feels there is a mitigating circumstance or reasonable
7 of 43

accommodation to be considered for determining occupancy, they should contact HAMC immediately to schedule
a meeting.
II. Privacy Policy
Personal Information
It is the policy of HAMC to guard the privacy of individuals conferred by the Federal Privacy Act of 1974, and to
ensure the protection of such individuals’ records maintained by HAMC. Unless required by Federal or state law,
neither HAMC nor its agents shall disclose any personal information contained in its records to any person or
agency unless the individual about whom information is requested shall give written consent to such disclosure.
Determining Eligibility for Assistance
This privacy policy in no way limits HAMC’s ability to collect such information as it may need to determine
eligibility and income, compute rent, or determine an applicant’s suitability for tenancy.
Information on Handicaps/Disabilities
Consistent with the intent of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, any information obtained on handicap
or disability will be treated in a confidential manner.
Investigations into Fraud/Criminal Activities
This privacy policy is not intended to preclude the cooperation of HAMC with local, state, or Federal investigations
into fraud or criminal activity. With proper identification, HAMC is permitted to advise the investigating officer of
the following:
• Whether or not an individual is a resident;
• How long an individual has been a resident; and
• Any other appropriate answers to questions related to the investigation.
HAMC will not make files, forms, or documents available to the investigating officer unless a court order for such
action is provided.

III. Qualifying for Admission Under HUD’s Program Eligibility
Requirements
Defining Program Eligibility
Program Eligibility determines whether applicants are eligible for federal rental assistance. HAMC will not admit
ineligible applicants. In order to be eligible a family must meet all of the following tests:
1. Income limits, 2. Social Security Numbers, 3. Citizenship Status, 4. Student Status
Income Limits
HUD establishes income limits and revises them annually to ensure that federal rental assistance is provided only to low-
income families. Income limits are based on family size and the annual income the family receives. These limits are
available for review at the site or management office. HAMC will determine income eligibility prior to approving any
applicant for tenancy. Once the applicant moves into HAMC, this income eligibility test will not be done again unless the
resident has gone to market rent and wants once again to be eligible for subsidy.
Applicants must have an income that is not greater than the maximum income limits established by HUD, and as
published annually in the Federal Register. In addition, 40% of the new move-ins per year must be at or below 30% of the
area median income, as required by HUD, and explained in the “Income-Targeting” paragraph below.
Method for Income-Targeting
HUD requires that Section 8 ASSISTED UNITS must lease not less than 40% of the dwelling units that become
available for occupancy in any project fiscal year to extremely low-income families, which is defined as families
whose incomes are below 30% of the area median income. The methodology HAMC has chosen to fulfill this
obligation is to alternate between the first six (6) extremely low-income families on the waiting list and the first four
(4) otherwise eligible families. It is possible that applicants of a higher income that are also higher on the waiting list
will be skipped over to achieve income-targeting. When this occurs, HAMC will make a notation on the waiting list to
indicate that an applicant was skipped over to achieve the 40% income-targeting rule.
Social Security Numbers
Applicants must disclose Social Security numbers for all family members and provide proof of the numbers reported.
The Social Security number requirement does not apply to persons not claiming eligible immigration status. In place
residents (existing residents housed within the development prior to conversion) do no need to be reverified.
Lack of Social Security Documentation
Applicants who have not disclosed and/or provided verification of SSNs for all non-exempt household members,
HAMC will continue to process the application, and the applicant will have 90 days from the date they are first
offered an available unit to disclose and /or verify the SSNs. During this 90-day period, the applicant may, at its
discretion, retain its place on the waiting list. After 90 days, if the applicant is unable to disclose and/or verify the
SSNs of all non-exempt household members, the applicant will be determined ineligible and removed from the
waiting list.
Authorization for Release of Information
All adult members 18 years of age and older, in each applicant family must sign an Authorization for Release of
Information (HUD form 9887/9887-A) prior to receiving assistance, and annually thereafter. Refusing to sign the
Authorization for Release of Information by any adult family member will cause the family to be ineligible for assistance.
9 of 43

Citizenship Status
HUD requires each family member to declare whether the individual is a citizen, a national, or an eligible non-citizen,
except those members who elect not to contend that they have eligible immigration status. Those who elect not to
contend their status are considered to be ineligible noncitizens. For citizens, nationals and eligible noncitizens the
declaration must be signed personally by the head, spouse, co-head, and any other family member 18 or older, and by a
parent or guardian for minors. The family must identify in writing any family members who elect not to contend their
immigration status (see Ineligible Non-citizens below). No declaration is required for live-in aides, foster children, or
foster adults. In place residents (existing residents housed within the development prior to conversion) do no need to be
reverified.
Student Status
Any household members who is declared a full-time or part-time student must provide acceptable documentation from
an acceptable source confirming their current student status. Failure to provide documentation of any household
members’ student status will cause the family to be ineligible for assistance.
EIV (Enterprising Income Verification) Existing Tenant Search
HUD’s EIV database will be utilized to run the Existing Tenant Search when processing an application to determine if any
applicant household member may be currently residing and/or receiving assistance through another Multifamily Housing
or Public and Indian Housing (PIH) location.
EXISTING TENANT SEARCH REPORT
All applicants MUST disclose if they are currently receiving HUD housing assistance. The Housing Authority of Maricopa
County (HAMC) will not knowingly assist applicants who will maintain a residence in addition to the HUD-assisted unit.
HUD provides HAMC with information about an applicant’s current status as a HUD housing assistance recipient. HAMC
will use the Existing Tenant Search Report, during the final eligibility review, to determine if the applicant or any member
of the applicant household may be currently receiving HUD assistance. An individual report must be ran for ALL
HOUSEHOLD MEMBER INCLUDING CHILDREN.
Since the applicant is required to provide current landlord information on the application, HAMC should be aware of the
housing assistance. Nothing prohibits a HUD housing assistance recipient from applying to this property. However, the
applicant must move out of the current property and/or forfeit any HUD voucher before HUD assistance on this property
will begin. Special consideration applies to minor children where both parents share 50% custody.
The report gives HAMC the ability to coordinate move-out and move-in dates with the other PHA or HAMC
owned/managed property. HAMC will follow-up with the respective PHA or other HAMC owned or managed property to
confirm the individual’s program participation status before admission. Notations pertaining to the status of applicants
currently receiving subsidy at another property must be documented on the “Section 8 Existing Tenant MO Certification”
form, and the notations must include: Name of the person contacted at current applicant residence, date/time of
contact, information provided including anticipated move-out date for the applicant(s) and other relevant information
If the applicant or any member of the applicant household fails to fully and accurately disclose rental history on the
application, the applicant may be denied based on “misrepresentation” of information. If HAMC discovers a discrepancy,
the applicant will be notified and will have 5 business days to respond to the inquiry. (Please see the “Tenant Selection
Plan” for additional information pertaining to denial of applicants). HAMC will send the applicant a notice to request a
meeting to discuss the information that was provided on the Existing Tenant Search report.
10 of 43

Failure to respond to HAMC request for additional information and/or providing false or incomplete information will
result in denial and removal from the waiting list in accordance with the property’s current Tenant Selection Plan.
Record Keeping-Existing Tenant Search Report
The Existing Tenant Search Report - must be maintained in the Applicant or Tenant file.
If the information on the report results in an applicant not being accepted for housing assistance based on the applicant
providing false or incomplete information, the report will be maintained in the applicant’s file, along with associated
correspondence sent to the applicant to inform him/her of management’s decision to deny him/her as an applicant.
If the information on the report results in information confirming that the applicant still resides at another property
where he/she receives rental assistance, the report will be maintained in the applicant file along with the associated
correspondence sent to the applicant to inform him/her of management’s decision to deny him/her as an applicant,
based on the fact that he/she has not moved out of another property where he/she is receiving rental assistance.
If the information provided by a current landlord, as indicated on the ‘Section 8- Existing MO Confirmation” form
confirms that the applicant is currently being evicted an associated correspondence sent to the applicant family must be
maintained in the applicants file.
A copy of the Existing Tenant Search report will be filed in each tenant file and a report must be included for each
household member, including household minor and dependents. If the Existing Tenant Search report shows that any
member of the applicant family is receiving rental assistance at another property, documentation must be included and
noted on the Section 8 Existing Tenant MO Confirmation” form confirming the move out date as provided by the
landlord. Follow up action may or may not be needed based on information provided by the landlord at the property
where the applicant is currently receiving rental assistance and in accordance with the Property’s Tenant Selection Plan.
MULTIPLE SUBSIDY REPORT
The Multiple Subsidy Report will be reviewed quarterly. The Report allows HAMC to search TRACS database to identify
individuals who may be receiving multiple rental subsidies. If the report shows that a resident is being assisted at
another location, HAMC must contact the household and offer them the opportunity to dispute or explain the situation,
If the results of the searches (both MF and within PIH) (see search option) below shows that a tenant is being assisted at
another location, HAMC must discuss these results with the household. The notice requires that the household meet
with HAMC within five days of the date of the notice.
HAMC must also contact the representative PHA or owner/agent of the other property showing on any multiple subsidy
report and document all information obtained regarding receipt of multiple subsidy for any household member.
Information will be documented on the property’s discrepancy log with notations on all follow-up completed by owner
agent.
If any household member received or attempted to receive assistance in another HUD assisted unit while receiving
assistance on this property, the household member will be required to reimburse HUD for assistance paid in error. This
is considered a material non-compliance lease violation and may result in penalties up to and including evictions and
pursuit of fraud charges.
Search Options- Multiple Subsidy Report
When running the Multiple Subsidy Report, HAMC will perform both of the search options as shown below to determine
if possible multiple subsides exist:
11 of 43

Search within MF
Search within PIH
Recordkeeping-Multiple Subsidy Report
Print out and maintain a copy of the Multiple Subsidy Report in the EIV discrepancy log file, and include notations as to
the outcome of contacts with the residents and/or PHA or owner/agent of other property. In addition, a copy of the
Multiple Subsidy Report for the resident plus any documentation supporting any contacts made or information obtained
to determine if a household and/or household member is receiving multiple subsidies as well as documentation to
support any action taken if a household and/or household member is receiving subsidies must be retained in the tenant
file.
The tenant file must only contain information for that particular household. Reports may need to be manually separated
so that only information for the household is included in the tenant file.
Refer to HUD Handbook 4350.3, Rev 1 as well to determine if households receiving multiple subsides should be
terminated in accordance with the HUD Model Lease and charged market rent for unpaid subsidy at the property as a
result of multiple subsidies.
No Income Report
The No Income Report will be reviewed quarterly. The report provides HAMC with the list of tenant whose identities
were verified by the SSA, but do not have or never have received SSA/SSI benefits or wages. Information obtained in the
No Income Report must be compared to information provided by the applicant/tenant and any/all discrepancies with
the information should be researched. Applicants/Tenants declaring to have no household income should be listed on
the No Income Report and if not listed on this report additional steps must be taken by the HAMC to determine why the
household is listed.
Discrepancies between information provided by the applicant/tenant and the information obtained in the No Income
Report should be handled in the same manner as discrepancies obtained in the Income Discrepancy Report and all
discrepancies must be documented, discussed with the applicant/tenant, and resolved within (30) days of the date of the
report.
Correction must be made for unreported or under-reported household income by processing the appropriate 50059 and
processing repayment agreements (as warned) based on the timeframes and amount of subsidy owed by the household,
if any. In addition, households reflected on the No Income Report that have not reported to HAMC - that household is
currently receiving income should be contacted to review the information obtained and compared to information
provided to the household. Sources of income not included on the No Income Report must be accounted for, verified
according to the HUD Handbook 4350.3 guidelines and included on the household’s 50059, such as child support income,
recurring gifts, benefits not included in the EIV System, etc.
All household reporting zero income must complete a Section 8 - Zero Income Questionnaire in accordance with the
“Section 8 - Standard Operating and Procedures Manual” on a quarterly basis as well. The questionnaire is intended to
confirm households are meeting daily needs and to ascertain if there is unreported household income that should be
included as part of the household’s annual income.
Recordkeeping - No Income Reports
HAMC will maintain the No Income Reports with the EIV Discrepancy log file and include any documentation and
correspondence with the household(s) to discuss discrepancies between the individual household reported income and
the No Income Report. In addition, the owner/agent will maintain individual No Income Report in the tenant file along
12 of 43

with any/all documentation and correspondence with the household relative to the household’s reported income
amounts and the No Income Report.
The owner/agent will “purge” EIV printouts at the end of tenancy plus 3 years. HAMC will document the resident’s file
when information is destroyed. When documenting this action, provide information about when and how the
information was destroyed.
Reporting at Annual Certification, Interim Certification and Unit Transfer
Aside from the reports previously mentioned, the EIV Income Reports will be reviewed during annual and interim re-
certification. The Income report will be printed and reviewed within 90 days after transmission of the move-in
certification through iMAX and any income discrepancies will be resolved within 30 days of the income report date.
Reports will be produced and reviewed based on the following schedule:
Annual Certification Month Discrepancy and Income Report Viewed for Annual
Certification
January November 1-10
February December 1-10
March January 1-10
April February 1-10
May March 1-10
June April 1-10
July May 1-10
August June 1-10
September July 1-10
October August 1-10
November September 1-10
December October 1-10
Only Residence
Applicants must agree that their rental unit will be their only residence. When applicants are undergoing income limit
tests, they are required to reveal all assets they own including real estate. They are allowed to own real estate, whether
they are retaining it for investment purposes as with any other asset, or have their property listed for sale. However,
they may never use this real estate as a residence while they live in HUD-assisted housing.
Rent Formula for Section 8
Applicants must agree to pay the rent required by the Section 8 subsidy formula used at HAMC, which is defined in
HUD’s Occupancy Handbook, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1, CHG-2 as follows:
The applicant/resident will pay the greater of:
• 30% of the monthly-adjusted income
• 10% of the monthly gross income
• Welfare Rent
or
• Minimum Rent of $25
Hardship Exceptions
HAMC will waive the minimum monthly rent requirement to any family unable to pay due to a long-term financial
hardship. The financial hardship exemption constitutes the only statutory exemption, and includes the hardship
13 of 43

situations listed below. NOTE: A family who is eligible for and receives a hardship exemption must be recertified every 90
days.
• The family has lost federal, state, or local government assistance or is waiting for eligibility determination (including
legal immigrants);
• The family would be evicted if the minimum rent requirement was imposed;
• The family income has decreased due to a change in circumstances, including but not limited to, loss of employment;
• A death in the family has occurred;
• Other applicable situations, as determined by HUD, have occurred.
Annual Recertification Policy
HAMC will conduct a recertification of family income and composition annually. All family members must supply the
information requested by management, owner, and HUD. Tenants must sign the required consent forms and HAMC will
obtain third party verification of the required documentation, including annual income, the value of assets, authorized
deductions from annual income and other factors that affect the determination of adjusted income. HAMC will then
recompute the rent and assistance payments, if applicable, based upon the information gathered. Failure, by the
resident, to comply with the recertification process will result in termination of rental assistance.
HAMC will not conduct annual recertification for those residents paying full contract or market rent, unless the resident
request certification to determine their eligibility to received assistance.
Interim Recertification Policy
Further, to ensure that assisted families pay rents based on their ability to pay, applicants must understand and agree to
HUD’s requirement that they are required to supply interim information to HAMC when the following occurs between
annually scheduled re-certifications: A family member moves in/out of the unit;
• An adult member of the family who was reported as unemployed on the most recent certification obtains
employment; or
• The family’s income cumulatively increases by $200 or more per month.
Notification Policy
HAMC will inform residents, through required written notices, about their responsibility annually to provide
information about the family’s income, which is necessary to properly complete a recertification.
Eligibility under the Noncitizen Rule
According to Section 214 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1980 (commonly known as the
Noncitizen Rule), federal rental assistance is restricted to the following:
a. U.S. citizens or nationals; and
b. Noncitizens who have eligible immigration status as determined by HUD.
These requirements apply to applicants, families on the waiting list and tenants. HAMC will determine citizenship
status for each applicant at the initial eligibility determination, prior to move in. Some families will qualify as mixed
families, – i.e., a family with one or more ineligible members and one or more eligible members. Mixed families
received prorated assistance based upon the number of eligible and ineligible family members. For family members
who move in after eligibility, the required forms and evidence of citizenship must be submitted at the first interim or
regular recertification after the person moves to the unit. As part of the annual or interim recertification process,
HAMC will also determine the citizenship/immigration status of tenants from whom they have not previously
collected the proper documentation or whose documentation suggested that their status was likely to change. If the
status of a family member in a mixed family changes, the family may request an intern certification. HAMC will notify
families in writing if they are found to be ineligible based upon citizenship/immigration status.
14 of 43

Declarations and Verifications of Citizenship
All family members, regardless of age, must declare their citizenship or immigration status via a specific Declaration
or Verification Form, the exact type of which depends on the applicant’s status. All applicants for assistance will be
given notice of the requirement to submit evidence of citizenship or eligible immigration status at the time of
application. A separate form must be signed by each member of the family. For family members under the age of 18,
the form must be signed by an adult member of the household. The following documents are required:
For U.S. citizens: A Declaration of Citizenship Form. In addition, HAMC requires a copy of the applicant’s birth
certificate.
For Noncitizens under the age of 62: (1) A Verification Consent Form; (2) Declaration of Eligible Immigration Status;
(3) One of the documents approved by the Department of Homeland Security as acceptable evidence of immigration
status.
Noncitizens age 62 and over: Noncitizens who are age 62 and older are not required to be further verified regarding
their immigration status other than signing a Declaration of Eligible Immigration Status, and providing a proof of age
document.
For noncitizens who are in this country on a visa, and are not immigrants: There is an appropriate place on the
Verification Consent Form for them to sign stating that they do not claim to have eligible immigrations status and are
not therefore eligible for assistance.
Verification Delay: HAMC will not delay or terminate the family’s assistance if the family submitted its immigration
information in a timely manner but the Department of Homeland Security verification or appeals process has not
been completed. In addition, if at least one family member has submitted the required documentation to HAMC in a
timely manner, and the family comes to the top of the waiting list, HAMC will offer the unit and provide prorated
assistance based upon those family members who submitted their documentation on time. Prorated assistance will
continue until the remaining family members submit the required documentation. Once HAMC completes the
verification process, it will do one of the following:
1. Provide full assistance if all of the family members establish citizenship or eligible immigration status.
2. Continue to provide prorated assistance if any of the family members are ineligible based upon citizenship or
immigration status OR
3. Temporary Deferral of Termination of Assistance. If the family does not accept an offer of prorated
assistance, then HAMC will offer a temporary deferral of termination of assistance in order to provide
the family with time to find alternative housing. The initial deferral period is six (6) months and may be
extended for a maximum of two additional six (6) month periods. At least sixty (60) days before the
termination of each deferral period, HAMC will notify the family if they qualify for another deferral.”
Eligibility under the Student Rule
On November 30, 2005, Congress enacted Public Law 109-115, which included in Title III, Section 327, appropriations for
HUD regarding eligibility of students for assisted housing under Section 8. Owners are required to determine a student’s
eligibility for Section 8 assistance at move-in, annual recertification, initial certification (when an in-place tenant begins
receiving Section 8), and at the time of an interim recertification if one of the family composition changes reported is
that a household member is enrolled as a student. HAMC will use the following HUD guidelines as indicated in Chapter 3
of HUD’s occupancy handbook, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1.
Students Who are NOT Eligible for Section 8 Assistance
According to Section 327(a) of the law, Section 8 assistance shall not be provided to any individual who:
15 of 43

• Is enrolled as either a part-time or full-time student at an institution of higher education for the purpose of
obtaining a degree, certificate, or other program leading to a recognized educational credential; and
• Is under the age of 24; and
• Is not married; and
• Is not a veteran of the United States Military; and
• Does not have a dependent child; and
• Is not a person with disabilities, as such term is defined in 3(b)(3)(E) of the United States Housing Act of 1937
(42 U.S.C. 1437a(b)(3)(E)) and was not receiving section 8 assistance as of November 30, 2005); and
• Is not living with his or her parents who are receiving Section 8 assistance; and
• Is not individually eligible to receive Section 8 assistance and has parents (the parents individually or jointly)
who are not income eligible to receive Section 8 assistance.
*NOTE: Unless the student can demonstrate his or her independence from parents, the student must be eligible to
receive Section 8 assistance and the parents (individually or jointly) must be eligible to receive Section 8 assistance in
order for the tenant to receive Section 8 assistance.*
Defining Independent Student
If an individual can prove independence from his/her parents, therefore meeting the handbook definition of
“independent student,” and does not meet any of the criteria in Section 327(a) above, but is otherwise eligible for
assistance, the student would be eligible to move into a HAMC property and receive assistance. Non-tuition financial
assistance would be counted as income unless the student is over 23 with a dependent child.
For a student to be eligible independent of his/her parents (where the income of the parents is not relevant), the
student must demonstrate the absence of, or his/her independence from his/her parents. The student must meet, at
a minimum, all of the following criteria to be eligible for Section 8 assistance. The student must:
• Be of legal contract age under state law;
• Have established a household separate from parents or legal guardians for at least one year prior to
application for occupancy, or Meet the U.S. Department of Education’s definition of an independent student,
as indicated in the handbook Glossary);
• Not be claimed as a dependent by parents or legal guardians pursuant to IRS regulations; and
• Obtain a certification of the amount of financial assistance that will be provided by parents, signed by the
individual providing the support. This certification is required even if no assistance will be provided.
Defining Student Financial Assistance Income
Any financial assistance a student receives (1) under the Higher Education Act of 1965, (2) from private sources, or
(3) from an institution of higher education that is in excess of amounts received for tuition is included in annual
income, except if the student is over the age of 23 with dependent children or if the student is living with his or her
parents who are receiving Section 8 assistance. (See the Glossary of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1 for an expanded
definition of Student Financial Assistance.)
Protection from Eviction
HAMC will not evict or require an ineligible student to move from a unit as long as the student is paying market rent
and is in compliance with the terms of the lease.
16 of 43

Verifying Information
The applicant must agree to furnish any information required to verify eligibility for rental assistance including all sources
of income, assets, and certain expenses. Applicants are hereby informed that, by law, the penalties for false information
may include eviction, loss of assistance, fines up to $10,000, and imprisonment up to five years. The applicant must
understand that a final decision of eligibility cannot be made until all verifications are complete. In addition, the
applicant must understand that HUD has the right to compare any of the information supplied in the verifications with
information that federal, state, or local agencies have on the family’s income and household composition.
HAMC must explain all program requirements to applicants, including the following verification procedures:
Individual Verification Consent Forms
In addition to the Authorization for Release of Information and the appropriate Consent Forms indicated earlier,
applicants must sign Individual Verification Forms that have been designed by HAMC for obtaining documentation
from third parties, to verify an applicant’s income and deductions for determining the rent.
Verification Documentation
Documentation used as part of the verification process may include checklists completed and signed by the
applicant, verification forms completed and signed by third parties, dated notes of interviews with third parties
whether by phone or in person, documents provided by family members, or affidavits/certifications supplied by the
applicant.
HAMC will make the final determination of the credibility of any verification submitted by an applicant.
Preferred Forms of Verification
Verifications must be attempted in the order indicated below. Each file will be documented to show that HAMC
attempted to obtain third party written documentation before relying on some less acceptable form of information.
• Third party written;
• Third party oral with a record kept in the file;
• Review of documents provided by the family, or
• Affidavits from the family.
Verifying Zero Income
If an applicant reports zero income on an application, HAMC will advise her/him that if they are still at zero income
when they come to the top of the Waiting List, they will be asked to fill out a questionnaire prepared by HAMC
stating their source of necessary living items that are not covered by Food Stamps or other federal assistance
sources. After 90 days at zero income, and for every 90-day period thereafter, the resident may be re-certified to
determine if they have begun to receive any type of income. If a resident goes through four 90-day periods at zero
income, HAMC may make a visit to the dwelling unit to determine the likelihood of the resident’s report. If the
resident is found to have a car, a telephone, cable television, cigarettes, disposable diapers, or other evidence of
some form of income, the applicant may be asked to explain the source of income supporting cash expenditures
when zero income has been reported. A Family Budget or Statement of Financial Responsibility may be required
from the applicant. Investigations may include ordering a credit report on the resident after proper notice is given.
Attempted Fraud
Any information provided by the applicant that is later proven to be untrue by verification may be used to disqualify
the applicant for admission on the basis of attempted fraud. Fraud is defined in Par 8-13 A of the HUD handbook
4350.3 Rev. 1 as an applicant/resident knowingly providing inaccurate or incomplete information. Unwitting errors
that do not secure an advantage with regard to program eligibility, preferences, or rent will not be used as a basis to
exclude applicants. HAMC considers false information about the following items to be grounds for rejecting an
applicant:
• Income, assets, family composition, Social Security numbers, allowances; and
• Previous resident or criminal history
17 of 43

IV. Qualifying for Admission Under HUD’s Project Eligibility
Requirements
Defining Project Eligibility
Project Eligibility establishes whether applicants are eligible to reside in the specific property to which they are
applying. The Occupancy Standards listed below take into consideration not only type, but also household size and
what unit sizes are available at HAMC. It is possible that a household might be eligible for subsidy under HUD’s
requirements, but would not be eligible under the unit size requirements of this particular property.
Occupancy Standards
Occupancy Standards is the minimum and maximum number of occupants residing in a unit. When applying to
HAMC, the appropriately sized unit must be in the unit configuration within the development. Units are assigned
according to household size and composition. If the appropriate unit size is not available at the time of
application, the applicant will be put on a waiting list. To avoid overcrowding, and in order to be consistent, we
have adopted the following occupancy standards:
Bedroom Minimum Maximum
1 1 3
2 2 5
3 3 7
4 4 9
Defining Persons with Disabilities
(1) Any adult having a physical, mental, or emotional impairment that is expected to be of long-
continued and indefinite duration, substantially impedes his or her ability to live independently,
and is of a nature that such ability could be improved by more suitable housing conditions.
(2) A person with a developmental disability, as defined in Section 102(7) of the Developmental
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (42 U.S.C. 6001(8)), i.e., a person with a severe
chronic disability that:
(i) Is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical
impairments;
(ii) Is manifested before the person attains age 22;
(iii) Is likely to continue indefinitely;
(iv) Results in substantial functional limitation in three or more of the following areas of major life
activity:
(A) Self-care,
(B) Receptive and expressive language,
(C) Learning,
(D) Mobility,
(E) Self-direction,
(F) Capacity for independent living, and
(G) Economic self-sufficiency; and
(H) Reflects the person's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or
generic care, treatment, or other services that are of lifelong or extended duration and are
individually planned and coordinated.
(3) A person with a chronic mental illness, i.e., a person who has a severe and persistent mental or
emotional impairment that seriously limits his or her ability to live independently, and whose
impairment could be improved by more suitable housing conditions.
(4) Persons infected with the human acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are disabled as a
result of infection with the HIV are eligible for occupancy in the Section 202 projects designed for
the physically disabled, developmentally disabled, or chronically mentally ill depending upon the
nature of the person’s disability. (24 CFR 891.505)
18 of 43

Note: A person whose sole impairment is alcoholism or drug addiction (i.e., who does not have a
developmental disability, chronic mental illness, or physical disability that is the disabling condition
required for eligibility in a particular project) will not be considered to be disabled for the purposes of the
Section 202 program.
(5) A person infected with the human acquired immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and a person who
suffers with alcoholism or drug addition, provided they meet the definition of “person with
disabilities” in Section 811 (42 U.S.C) 8013(k)(2). A person whose sole impairment is a diagnosis
of HIV positive or alcoholism or drug addiction (i.e., does not meet the qualifying criteria in
Section 811will not be eligible for occupancy in a section 811 project. (24 CFR 891.305)
Assigning Units for Persons with Physical Disabilities
HAMC will always give a family that has indicated a need for certain unit accommodations because of a disability,
the opportunity to benefit from the HUD program in place. HAMC asks the family to decide for itself, in
compliance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, whether a unit meets the needs of the family. HAMC will
notify the household whenever any unit becomes available, without regard to unit accessibility. HAMC will never
prohibit an eligible family with a member who has a disability from accepting a suitable non-accessible unit if no
accessible unit is available when the family reaches the top of the waiting list. If the applicant decides to accept a
standard unit, s/he may request some modification to the unit as a reasonable accommodation.
Assigning Accessible Units
If a unit becomes available that has either been made accessible under Section 504, or was originally designed
for disabled households when HAMC was approved for funding, HAMC will first offer the unit to an individual
with disabilities who is currently residing in a non-accessible unit who requires the features of the unit. If
there is no such current resident, HAMC will offer the unit to the next qualified applicant on the waiting list
who needs the features of the accessible unit.
When neither a current resident nor a qualified applicant require the features of an available accessible unit,
HAMC will offer the unit to another resident or applicant, and will incorporate as an addendum to the lease an
agreement that the resident will move to a non-accessible unit within HAMC when one becomes available.
This addendum will also cover whether the resident or HAMC will pay for the cost of such a move.
Reasonable Accommodation
HAMC will consider requests for reasonable accommodations from applicants/residents with disabilities, in
order that they may benefit from the use and enjoyment of the dwelling units. The applicant/resident must be
able to show that the requested accommodation is necessary, and that there is a strong, identifiable
relationship between the requested accommodation and the individual’s disability.
If a household requests an accessible feature, policy modification, or other reasonable accommodation,
HAMC will provide the requested accommodation unless doing so would result in a fundamental alteration in
the nature of the program, or an undue financial and administrative burden. A fundamental alteration is a
modification that is so significant that it alters the essential nature of the operations of the HAMC property.
Policy for Unit Transfers
Requests from Residents
Once an applicant has become a resident, a transfer of units may be warranted. If a resident has an increase in
family size, or has a medical/health condition that warrants a larger unit or a unit that has special design
features for a person with disabilities, a transfer may be requested. On occasion there may be other requests
for transfers that HAMC will consider on a case-by-case basis. All transfer requests must be made in writing,
and must state the reason for the request. The request will then be forwarded to HAMC manager/owner for
final approval.
19 of 43

Requirement by Owner
On occasion an owner may require a resident to transfer to a smaller unit size. This may occur when the family
composition decreases and the family no longer qualifies for the unit size in which they are dwelling. If a unit
of appropriate size is not available, HAMC will not evict the family and will not increase the family’s rent to the
market rent. However, if an appropriately sized unit is available and the family refuses to move, the family
may stay in their current unit and pay the HUD-approved market rent. HAMC may evict the family if the family
fails to pay the market rent in accordance with the lease.
Acceptable Reasons for Transfers
Current residents may qualify for a unit transfer for one of the following conditions:
• Medical/health conditions, including inability to use stairs, or the need for a live-in attendant;
• Family size increases or decreases, or composition changes;
• There is a need for a unit with special design features for a person with disabilities; or
• Other potential conditions not related to health, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by
Management.
Placement on Transfer Waiting List
If the HAMC manager approves a request for a transfer to a different unit, and there is no current unit
available, the resident will be placed on the HAMC transfer waiting list. In-house residents that must be
transferred due to overcrowding will be transferred first. Residents needing transfers due to medical reasons
must have a written statement from a health care provider.
Procedures for Filling Vacancies
If a request for a transfer to a different unit is approved, the resident agrees to pay all transfer costs prior to
the move. Costs may include damages that are beyond normal wear and tear. However, if a resident is
transferred as an accommodation to a household member’s disability, then HAMC may be obligated to pay
the costs associated with the transfer as discussed under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 of
Chapter 2 of HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1.
Priority for Filling Vacancies
HAMC will fill its vacant units with current residents awaiting transfers before applicants from HAMC waiting
list. Unit transfers that are required by management will take priority over resident requested transfers.
Preferences
Elderly Election
HAMC has not made an election to give preference for the elderly as allowed under Title VI, Subtitle D of the
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, and as explained in HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1, Par 3-
18.
V. Qualifying for Admission Under HAMC’ Standards
Property Standards for Bedroom Size
Being eligible for federal rental housing is not an entitlement. Every applicant must meet the resident selection
criteria set in place at HAMC. These standards are used to demonstrate the applicant’s suitability as a resident.
They are determined by verifying information on past behavior to document the applicant’s ability, either alone or
with assistance, to comply with essential lease provisions and any other rules governing tenancy.
Two Persons Plus One per Bedroom
HAMC has adopted a bedroom size standard of two plus one person per bedroom (please see chart on page
18). This standard serves to prevent the over-utilization or under-utilization of units that could result in an
inefficient use of housing assistance. This standard also ensures that residents are treated fairly and
20 of 43

consistently in order to receive adequate housing space. HAMC will not make social judgments on a family’s
sleeping arrangement.
Families with Children
The Fair Housing Act prohibits properties receiving Federal assistance from discriminating on the basis of
familial status, making it illegal to discriminate against families because of the presence of persons under the
age of 18. HAMC will neither exclude families with children, nor will they develop policies or procedures that
have the purpose or effect of prohibiting children. HAMC will not exclude eligible elderly families because of
the presence of children, or because of the anticipated presence of children.
Counting Family Members
In order to determine the size of unit that would be appropriate for a particular family, HAMC will count all
full-time members of the family including live-in aides and foster persons who will reside in the unit. In
addition, HAMC will count all anticipated persons including the following:
• Children expected to be born to a pregnant woman;
• Children in the process of being adopted by an adult family member;
• Children whose custody is being obtained by an adult family member;
• Children who are temporarily in a foster home who will return to the family;
• Children in joint custody arrangements who are present in the household 50% or more of the time;
• Children who are away at school and who live at home during recesses;
• Children that are temporarily in a correctional facility/detention center who will return to the family.
Property Standards for Behavior
The applicant family will be judged on past habits and practices related to tenancy and not on any attribute or
behavior which may be imputed to a particular group or category of persons of which an applicant may be a
member.
VI. Screening to Determine Applicant Eligibility
Applicant Screening Policy
All applicants for assisted housing will be screened according to the criteria set forth in HUD’s Occupancy
Handbook, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1. Certain key questions relating to the applicant’s eligibility and resident
history will be asked, including Social Security numbers, and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of
current and former landlords. Failure to provide this information will result in cessation of application processing.
Property staff will assist applicants, as needed, in understanding the application process and completing forms.
Applicants will be instructed on what aspects of their background will be checked. An applicant has the right to
voluntarily withdraw from the application process at any time.
Live in Aids will be subject to the same general screening criteria as family members, except that Live-in Aids will
not be screened for their ability to pay rent.
Things HAMC Will Check
• Past performance in meeting financial obligations, especially rent;
• A record of disturbance of neighbors, destruction of property, or housekeeping habits at prior
residences which may adversely affect the health, safety or welfare of other residents, or cause damage
to the unit or development;
• Involvement in criminal activity on the part of any applicant family member which would adversely
affect the health, safety or welfare of other residents;
• A record of eviction from housing, or termination from residential programs;
• An applicant’s ability and willingness to comply with the terms of HAMC’ lease;
21 of 43

• An applicant’s misrepresentation of any information related to eligibility, allowances, family
composition or rent.
Things HAMC Will Not Check
• HAMC is not allowed to require physical examinations or medical testing as a condition of admission;
• HAMC will uniformly require all applicants to furnish evidence of ability to meet the obligations of
tenancy, but will not impose greater burdens on persons with disabilities. Persons with disabilities may
meet the requirements of the lease with the assistance of others such as attendant care providers;
• HAMC will not require a donation, contribution or membership fee as a condition of admission;
Procedures to Determine an Applicant’s History
Past Performance
• Past performance for meeting financial obligations will be checked by contacting the current landlord
and at least one prior landlord and utility supplier (if applicable).
• If verified records of timely rental payments (and utility payments, if applicable) are received from a
landlord and/or utility supplier, no further documentation of past performance in meeting financial
obligations, especially rent, will be collected.
• An applicant who applies owing a balance consisting of uncollected rent and/or miscellaneous charges
may not be placed on the Waiting List until that balance is paid.
• HAMC will run a credit check and obtain a credit report on the applicant. In addition, HAMC will check
court records for evidence of evictions or judgments against the applicant. The purpose of these checks
is to obtain information on the applicant’s past history of meeting financial obligations, future ability to
make timely rent payments and to describe whether the applicant has ever been evicted from a rental
unit.
If it is determined by the property manager that the applicant is not credit worthy, the applicant will be
rejected.
• Also, HAMC will contact the current housing provider to determine the applicant’s current lease
compliance and ability to pay the rent in a timely manner.
Record of Disturbance
• HAMC will check with the current landlord and at least one former landlord for potential problems
regarding documented disturbance of neighbors, destruction of property, or housekeeping habits that
would pose a threat to the health and safety of other residents and/or property.
• In addition, HAMC may make a Home Visit to all eligible applicants that live within 20 miles of HAMC.
For further information, see Page 24 of this Tenant Selection Plan.
• If the applicant is not currently living under a lease with a landlord, the current housing provider may be
asked to verify the applicant’s ability to comply with lease terms. Any area for which the applicant has
upkeep responsibility will be inspected.
• Documentation of current use of illegal drugs on the part of any applicant family member will be
sufficient grounds to reject the applicant family.
An applicant’s behavior toward property staff will be considered in relation to future behavior toward
neighbors. Physical or verbal abuse or threats by an applicant toward staff will be noted in the file and may be
grounds for denial of residency.
22 of 43

Involvement in Criminal Activity
• Involvement in criminal activity by any member of an applicant family that would adversely affect the
health, safety or welfare of other residents will be verified. In addition, the current or former landlord
will be asked to indicate problems in this area during the applicant’s tenancy.
.
Record of Eviction
• Staff will check property records, landlord records and other court records to determine whether the
applicant has been evicted from any other property in the past.
• Record of termination from residential programs will be checked with police, service agencies and with
any housing providers referred by the applicant.
• An applicant will in no way be held accountable by HAMC for the rental delinquency or other problems
of a former household of which the applicant was a member, but not the head or spouse.
• Staff will consider the date and circumstances of any past eviction or termination of tenancy in
determining its relevance to property tenancy.
Complying with the Lease
• If an applicant is able to document through landlord references that s/he is complying with lease terms
in current residences, and has so in former residences, this criterion will be considered to have been
satisfied. Ability to comply with HAMC lease terms will be checked only in the absence of satisfactory
landlord’s documentation.
Misrepresentation of Information
• If, during the course of processing an application, it becomes evident that an applicant has falsified or
otherwise misrepresented any facts about his/her current situation, history, or behavior in a manner
that would affect eligibility, applicant selection criteria qualification, allowances or rent, the application
shall be rejected.
Review of Information
If HAMC’s review of information about the applicant indicates that the applicant will not be a suitable resident,
HAMC may reject the application for tenancy.
Screening for Credit History
HAMC will screen all applicants for their credit activity for the past 3 years. HAMC will reject an applicant for a
credit history reflecting delinquencies on:
• Any utility bills and/or;
• Any previous monies owed from prior rental obligations
HAMC will not reject an applicant for a lack of a credit history.
Screening for Rental History
The applicant’s rental history must be acceptable to HAMC’s standards, which are as follows:
• Applicants should have at least one year of rental history to contact;
• The rental history of both the current landlord, and one previous landlord may be reviewed;
• If the applicant’s current living arrangements are with a family member, then two previous landlords
may be contacted;
• If an applicant’s preceding housing was “owner occupied” this criterion is waived;
• Applicants must not have a history of more than four (4) late rental or mortgage payments;
• Applicants must show a willingness to maintain premises in a sanitary condition with no evidence of
undesirable noise, odor, or disruptions to the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of other residents.
23 of 43

Screening for Housekeeping Habits
• All landlords contacted for rental history will also be questioned regarding the applicant’s housekeeping
habits, to determine the maintenance of the present home in regards to sanitary conditions, and fire
and safety standards.
HAMC will deny admission if:
• Any household containing member(s) who was evicted in the last three (3) years from federally assisted
housing for drug-related criminal activity. HAMC may, at its option, approve such an application, if the
evicted household member has successfully completed an approved, supervised drug rehabilitation
program; or the circumstances leading to the eviction no longer exist (e.g., the household member no
longer resides with the applicant household)
• Any household member is currently engaging in illegal drug use;
• Any household member if there is reasonable cause to believe that member’s behavior, from abuse or
pattern of abuse of alcohol, may interfere with the health, safety, and right to peaceful enjoyment by
other residents. The screening standards will be based upon behavior not the condition of alcoholism or
alcohol abuse;
• Any household member has engaged in violent criminal activity;
• Any household member with a derogatory criminal (felony, misdemeanor, etc.) record less than three
(3) years old that HAMC believes constitutes a threat to the health, safety, and rights to peaceful
enjoyment of the property by residents, owners, employees, contractors, subcontractors, or agents of
the owner.”
• Non-violent felony (forgery, fraud, etc.) that is less than five (5) years from the date of the disposition.
Screening for Other Criminal Activity
HAMC will deny admission to any member of the household that is subject to a lifetime registration
requirement under a state sex offender registration program. In accordance with Federal law, HAMC is
establishing this standard to prohibit admission to this federally-assisted property to sex offenders subject to
a lifetime registration requirement under a state sex offender registration program. During the admission
screening process, HAMC will perform the necessary criminal history background checks in the state where
the housing is located and in other states where the household members are known to have resided.
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
“Under The Violence Against Women Act (“VAWA”), criminal activity directly relating to domestic violence,
dating violence, or stalking, engaged in by a member of a tenant’s household or any guest or other person
under the tenant’s control, shall not be cause for denial of admission to HAMC if the tenant or an immediate
member of the tenant’s family is the victim or threatened victim of that abuse. However, nothing in the VAWA
limits the authority of HAMC to deny admission to, or evict from, or terminate the assistance of, any applicant,
tenant or lawful occupant if the HAMC can demonstrate an actual and imminent threat to other tenants or
those employed at or providing service to the property.
In addition, Sections 606 and 607 of VAWA allow HAMC to request in writing that an individual complete, sign
and submit, within 14 business days of the request, a HUD-approved certification form. On the form, the
individual certifies that he/she is a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, and that the
incident or incidences in question are bona fide incidences of such actual or threatened abuse. On the
certification form, the individual shall provide the name of the perpetrator.
In lieu of a certification form, or in addition to the certification form, a tenant may provide to PHAs, managers
or owners, (1) a Federal, State, tribal, territorial, or local police record or court record; (2) documentation
signed and attested to by an employee, agent or volunteer of a victim service provider, an attorney or a
medical professional, from whom the victim has sought assistance in addressing domestic violence, dating
violence or stalking, or the effects of abuse, in which the professional attests under penalty of perjury (28
U.S.C. 1746) to the professional’s belief that the incident or incidents in question are bona fide incidents of
24 of 43

abuse, and the victim of domestic violence, or stalking has signed or attested to the documentation. If the
individual does not provide the form HUD - 50066 or the information that may be provided in lieu of the
certification by the 14th business day or any extension of that date, none of the protections afforded to the
victim of domestic violence, dating violence or stalking by sections 606 or 607 will apply. The PHA, owner or
manager would therefore be free to evict, or to terminate assistance, in the circumstances authorized by
otherwise applicable law and lease provisions, without regard to the amendments made by Sections 606 and
607.
HAMC, at its discretion, may provide assistance to an individual based solely upon the individual’s statement
or other corroborating evidence.
The Home Visit
• Applicants will be notified at least two days in advance of the scheduled home visit.
• Applicants who are sharing housing either with family members or friends must be advised that HAMC
will inspect the common areas such as the living room, kitchen and bathroom of the unit, not just the
applicant’s room(s). A family that is willing to live in unsanitary or infested conditions created by
others may have standards that are too low for admission.
• It is necessary to do a home visit to an institution, because the applicant may be responsible for some
aspect of the condition of HAMC, and staff must make a determination whether the applicant would
need services that, if provided by property staff, would constitute an alteration in the fundamental
nature of HAMC’ program.
• The purpose of the home visit is to determine whether the applicant is capable of caring for a unit in a
way that will not create health or safety hazards or contribute to infestation, whether the applicant is
likely to damage a unit, and whether the applicant is currently engaged in behavior or practices that
would violate HAMC’ lease.
• Resident-caused health or safety hazards, housekeeping that contributes to infestation or damage to
the applicant’s current unit would be grounds for rejection.
• Permitting unauthorized occupants to share the unit, engaging in criminal activity or presenting some
other situation that was inconsistent with the information presented on the application, could be
grounds for rejection. HAMC must be able to document any cases where the home visit results in a
rejection.
OTHER STANDARDS
1. Cars: A maximum of two operational cars per unit (exceptions on 3-4 bedroom units). All
motor vehicles must have current tags, inspection stickers and be registered with the office.
All other vehicles are subject to tow.
2. Pets: If pets are allowed, an $300.00 refundable deposit is required. No exotic pets are
allowed. Dog breed restrictions: Rottweiler, Doberman pinscher, Pit Bull, Chow, and German
shepherd. Refer to the community’s “Rules for Pets”. Approved assistance or service animals
do not require additional deposits.
3. Market Units: Market units will need to earn an income of one and a half (1 ½) times the
market rental amount.

VII. Marketing
Fair Housing Requirements
HAMC enforces a marketing effort that attracts a broad cross-section of the eligible population without regard to
race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, are, ancestry,
source of income, medical condition, or any other arbitrary basis.
Filling Available Units
Whenever additional applicants are needed to fill available units, advertising will be carried out in accordance
with the HUD-approved AFHMP for each site, and as indicated below.
Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plan (AFHMP)
HAMC complies with the requirements of the HUD-approved AFHMP established for HAMC, which is designed to
promote equal housing choice for all prospective residents regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability,
familial status, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, are, ancestry, source of income, medical
condition, or any other arbitrary basis. The purpose of the plan is to ensure that eligible families of similar income
levels will have a similar range of housing opportunities. The plan outlines marketing strategies HAMC will use.
Special efforts will be made to attract persons who are least likely to apply due to such factors as the racial or
ethnic composition of the neighborhood. Marketing will also seek to reach potential applicants outside the
immediate neighborhood if marketing only within the neighborhood would create a disparate impact against
certain classes, such as the case of an entire neighborhood that includes no minorities.
Special Marketing Requirements for Section 8 Units
HAMC will target its marketing and outreach activities for any Section 8 units to attract applicants with
incomes below the very low-income limit. In addition, for income-targeting requirements, HAMC will target
marketing and outreach to attract applicants with incomes at or below the extremely low-income limit to
achieve the income-targeting requirements established on Page 9 of this plan.
Monitoring and Documenting Marketing Activities
HAMC will monitor marketing efforts and document the results in writing. The documentation will be made
available, upon request, for all marketing activities to show consistency with affirmative fair housing
marketing requirements and the approved plan for HAMC. This documentation will include copies of media
and marketing materials, records of marketing activities conducted, and documentation of any special
marketing activities conducted in accordance with the HAMC approved AFHMP.
Five-year Review of Plan
HAMC will review the AFHMP every five years and update it as needed to ensure compliance with HUD
regulations. If the demographics of the area have changed, HAMC will determine whether advertising efforts
should be targeted to different groups. The AFHMP will be revised whenever a substantial change takes place,
or the local Consolidated Plan is updated, and be submitted to HUD for approval.
Advertising
Targeted Population
When available units cannot be filled from applicants on a waiting list, HAMC will target advertising to groups
other than the typical population of the neighborhood, and will reach out to applicants who are least likely to
apply because they are not the predominant racial or ethnic group in the neighborhood.
Form of Advertisement
All advertising for this property includes the HUD-approved Equal Housing Opportunity logo, the Equal
Housing Opportunity slogan, or an equal housing statement. All advertising using human models will depict
members of all eligible protected classes including individuals from both majority and minority groups.
26 of 43

Fair Housing Poster
HAMC has posted the required Equal Housing Opportunity poster in the Leasing Office, so that it is readily
apparent to all persons seeking housing.

28 of 43

literacy, vision or language problems and, in general, making it possible for interested parties to apply for assisted
housing.
Determining an Applicant’s Eligibility
Preliminary Determination
Before putting any applicant on a waiting list, HAMC will make a preliminary eligibility determination to
ensure that there are no obvious factors that would make an applicant ineligible.
Placement on a Waiting List
If a preliminary screening indicates that a family is eligible for tenancy, but units of appropriate size are not
vacant, HAMC will place the family on a Waiting List according to the date and time the application was
received in the rental office if requested by the family. The family will be notified when a suitable unit
becomes available.
Placement on More than One List
Families may request and be placed on more than one waiting list, as long as they are eligible for the
appropriate bedroom size. For instance, a family of 3 that includes a parent and a son and daughter is eligible
for both a 2-bedroom unit and a 3-bedroom unit. (where applicable).
For more information on Waiting List Management, see Page 29 of this Tenant Selection Plan
Updating Information
Applicants have the opportunity, at any time, to supplement the information they already provided with their
application.
Verification Interview
As applicants approach the top of the waiting list they will be contacted to schedule an interview to verify all
information given on the application. The interview will be conducted in accordance with HUD’s Occupancy
Handbook, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1. HAMC will confirm and update all information provided on the
application, and will explain program requirements, verification procedures, and penalties for false information,
which include eviction, loss of assistance, fines up to $10,000, and imprisonment up to five years. The applicant
will be asked to sign the release of information consent portion of the Authorization for Release of Information
(Forms HUD 9887 and 9887-A) and any other necessary verification requests.
Ineligible Applicants
At the completion of the verification process, applicants will be ineligible to move into HAMC for any one of
the following reasons:
• The applicant’s gross annual income changes by the time they reach the top of the waiting list, and
exceeds the income limit for HAMC;
• Household members have failed to meet disclosure requirements for Social Security numbers;
• Household members have failed to declare citizenship/non-citizenship status;
• Household members have failed to sign the release of information forms; and,
• Landlord reference checks reveal that the applicant has a history of nonpayment of rent, eviction for
nonpayment of rent, history of disruptive behavior, or history of damaging site property.
IX. Waiting List Management
Anyone who wishes to be admitted to HAMC or to be placed on HAMC Waiting List must complete an application.
The application must include a signature certifying the accuracy and completeness of information provided. If the
29 of 43

applicant is placed on HAMC’ Waiting List, the list will note the name of the applicant, the date and time of
application, the type of income, the size of unit desired, and any other pertinent information.
Selecting Names from the Waiting List
HAMC will select names from the waiting list in chronological order to fill vacancies, unless an extremely low-
income applicant is needed to achieve targeting requirements, and the next applicant on the waiting list has
income above the extremely low-income limit. In such a case, a notation will be made on the waiting list to
indicate why this applicant was skipped for an extremely low-income applicant. Please note the paragraph on
Income-Targeting on Page 9 of this Tenant Selection Plan.
Applicant’s Refusal to Accept a Unit
When appropriately sized units are offered to applicants, and an applicant rejects a unit offer two consecutive
times, the applicant will be placed at the bottom of the Waiting List.
Maintaining the Waiting List
In order to maintain a balanced application pool, HAMC may, at its discretion, restrict application taking, suspend
application taking, and close waiting lists in whole or in part. Decisions about closing the waiting list will be based
on the number of applications available, and the ability of HAMC to house an applicant within a reasonable period
of time. Closing the waiting lists, restricting intake, or opening the waiting lists will be publicly announced on the
Agency’s Website (www.maricopahousing.org) and in The Republic (local newspaper).
Policy for Closing the List
The waiting list will be closed when the average wait is one year or more. Potential tenants whose names
appear on the waiting list will be notified via mail of the closure of the waiting list. The waiting list closure will
also be published in the newspaper(s) listed above, and will state that additional applications will not be
accepted until the waiting list is no longer excessive. During the period when the waiting list is closed, HAMC
will not maintain a list of individuals who wish to be notified when the waiting list is reopened.
Reopening the List
If there is a need to reopen the waiting list, HAMC will advertise in the newspapers listed above, HAMC’s
website and the applicable agency identified in the applicable AFHMP, explaining the rules for applying, when
and where to apply, and the order in which applications will be processed.
Updating the Waiting List
The Waiting List will be updated annually. Applicants must respond to the annual update to remain on the Waiting
List. HAMC will update the waiting list by removing the names of those who are no longer interested in, or who
are no longer qualified for, assisted housing. The applicant is responsible to update the application with any
changes that may occur to remain active on the current waiting list.
Removal of Applications from the Waiting List
HAMC will not remove an applicant’s name from the waiting list unless:
• The applicant requests that the name be removed.
• The applicant was clearly advised of the requirement to tell HAMC of his/her continued interest in
housing by a particular time and failed to do so. Those applicants failing to respond within the
required time frame will be removed from the list.
• They may reapply during open enrollment, but will not assume their old position on the list.
• HAMC made a reasonable effort to contact the applicant to determine if there is continued
interest in housing, but has been unsuccessful.
• HAMC have notified the applicant of its intention to remove their name because they no longer
qualify for assisted housing.
When an application is rejected by management, the applicant will be provided a brief description of the
reason(s) for the determination in writing. The applicant will have 124 days to respond in writing or request a
30 of 43

meeting to discuss the rejection. The meeting will be held by management with a reasonable time and is to
be held by a member of management that was not a party or the decision to reject. After the meeting, the
applicant bust be notified in writhing within five (5) calendar days whether the original decision has been
changed.

X. Verification Requirements
Required Consent Forms
Adult members of assisted families must authorize owners to request independent verification of data required
for program participation. To provide owners with this authorization, adult family members must sign two HUD-
required consent forms, plus HAMC’ specialized verification forms.
Form HUD-9887, Notice and Consent to the Release of Information to HUD.
Each member of the family who is 18 years of age and older must sign this form regardless of whether s/he
has income. The consent allows HUD to verify information with the IRS, the Social Security Administration,
and with state agencies that maintain wage and unemployment claim information.
Form HUD 9887-A, Applicant’s/Tenant’s Consent to Release of Information – Verification by Owners of
Information Supplied by Individuals Who Apply for Housing Assistance.
Owners and all family members 18 years of age and older, regardless of whether they have income, must sign
this form. The consent allows owners to request and receive information from third-party sources about the
applicant/resident.
Required Information
All information relative to the following items must be verified:
• Income, assets, family composition, and Social Security numbers;
• Deductions for such things as age, disability, disability expenses, and medical costs;
• Documented ability and willingness to abide by lease requirements, previous history of tenancy, rent
paying, caring for a home, and criminal activity of any family member.
All of the above information must be documented, and appropriate verification forms or letters placed in the
applicant or resident file. No decision to accept or reject an application will be made until all verifications have
been collected.
Verification Documentation
Documentation used as part of the verification process may include:
• Checklists completed as part of the interview process and signed by the applicant;
• Verification forms completed and signed by third parties;
• Reports/letters of interviews; and
• Notes of telephone conversations with reliable sources.
At a minimum, such reports will indicate the date of the conversation, source of the information, name and job
title of the individual contacted, and a written summary of the information received. Management staff will be the
final judge of the credibility of any verification submitted by an applicant. If a staff member considers
documentation to be doubtful, HAMC manager/owner will review it before making a ruling about its acceptability.
Staff will continue to pursue credible documentation until it is obtained or the applicant is rejected for failing to
produce it.
Preferred Forms of Verification
Verifications shall be attempted in the following order:
• Third party written;
• Third party oral with a record kept in the file;
• Review of documents provided by the family, or affidavits from the family.
Each file will be documented to show that HAMC staff attempted to obtain third party written documentation
before relying on some less acceptable form of information.
Source of Information
Sources of information to be checked may include, but are not limited to:
32 of 43

• Present and former landlords, or housing providers;
• Present and former employers;
• Credit checks and landlord record services;
• Family social workers, parole officers, court records, drug treatment centers, clinics, physicians, clergy; &
• Police departments.
Verifications and Rent Computations
Annual Income, which is used to determine eligibility, and Adjusted Income, which is the income upon which the
rent is based, will be computed in accordance with the definitions and procedures established in Federal Law and
set forth in the applicable HUD regulations, as found in HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1.
Verifying Annual Income
Projections of Annual Income will include estimates for each income recipient, and will be based on the best
available information, considering the past year’s gross income, and for employed families, the current income
rate, and any potential rate increase, bonus, or possibility of overtime. The income of irregular workers will be
estimated on the basis of the best information available, considering earning ability and work history. Overtime
income will be computed in accordance with verification obtained from the employer, in the absence of more
reliable or accurate information.
Methods of Verifying Income
Income is the most important factor in determining a family’s eligibility and rent. HAMC has established
methods of verifying income which include:
• Written third party verification (with an appropriate release) through an employer or public agency.
Property staff may update this verification by phone provided a memorandum to the file is prepared.
• Property review of documentation provided by the family such as benefit checks, income tax returns,
and W-2 forms.
In the absence of any of the above, affidavits from the family describing the amount and type of income is
acceptable documentation.
Verifying Zero Income
If an applicant reports zero income, HAMC will advise her/him that if they are still at zero income when they
become a resident, they will be asked to complete a questionnaire prepared by HAMC stating their source of
necessary living items that are not covered by Food Stamps or other federal assistance sources. After 90 days at
zero income, and for every 90-day period thereafter, the resident will be re-certified to determine if they have
begun to receive any type of income. If a resident goes through four 90-day periods at zero income, HAMC will
then make a visit to their dwelling unit to determine the likelihood of the resident’s report. If the resident is found
to have a car, a telephone, cable television, cigarettes, disposable diapers, or other evidence of some form of
income, the applicant will be asked to explain the source of income supporting cash expenditures when zero
income is present. A Family Budget or Statement of Financial Responsibility may be required from the applicant.
Investigations may include ordering a credit report on the resident after proper notice is given.
Attempted Fraud
Any information provided by the applicant that verification proves to be untrue may be used to disqualify the
applicant for admission on the basis of attempted fraud. HAMC considers false information about the following
items to be grounds for rejecting an applicant:
• Income, assets, family composition; Social Security numbers; allowances; and
• Previous resident or criminal history
Unwitting errors that do not secure an advantage with regard to program eligibility, preferences, or rent will not
be used as a basis to exclude applicants.
33 of 43

XI. Making an Occupancy Determination
Non-Discrimination
The following list of factors will not be considered in making a decision to admit or reject an application:
• Race
• Color
• Religion
• Ancestry
• National origin
• Age
• Sex
• Marital status
• Familial status
• Sexual orientation
• Medical condition
• Source of income
• Handicap or disability, including mental or psychological illness
Applicants with Disabilities
It is illegal to reject an applicant because s/he has a disability, or for reasons that could be overcome by HAMC’
reasonable accommodation of the applicant’s disability. If, even with a reasonable accommodation, applicants
with disabilities cannot meet essential program requirements, it is permissible to reject them. Such
insurmountable problems might arise because of behavior or performance in past housing, inability to comply
with the terms of HAMC’ lease, or needed services from property staff that represent an alteration in the
fundamental nature of HAMC program or is economically unreasonable.
Determining Program Eligibility
An applicant who happens to have a disability but who is able to demonstrate a history of meeting financial
obligations, caring for a rental unit, avoiding disturbing neighbors and destroying property, eschewing criminal
behavior, and if necessary, ability to comply with HAMC’ lease, would be recommended for admission with no
further reference to or consideration of any disability or handicap.
Recommendations for Admission or Rejection
If at any point in the screening process (including landlord references, home visit, criminal background check, or
verification of ability to comply with lease terms), it becomes clear to HAMC that an applicant will not meet the
screening criteria, the file will be sent to the appropriate Supervisor for review. The first step in this review is a
determination of the file’s completeness. If any information is missing or the case for rejection or acceptance is
not compelling, the file will be returned to the staff for further work.
Authorizing Admission
If an applicant is clearly eligible and passes the screening criteria, admission will be authorized.
Authorizing Rejection
Likewise, if the applicant is ineligible, rejection will be authorized. See Page 35 of this plan for further
requirements regarding rejection.
34 of 43

XII. Rejection of Ineligible Applicants
Applicants who do not pass the eligibility requirements will immediately be sent a letter of rejection. This written
rejection notice will specifically state one of the reasons listed below for the rejection, and will inform the
applicant of her/his right to respond to HAMC in writing, or to request a meeting within 14 days to dispute the
rejection.

• A family member has a conviction for the offense of rape, prostitution, indecent exposure, sodomy,
carnal abuse, impairing the morals of a minor or similar crimes indicating sexual deviation;
• Any outstanding utility bills
• There is evidence of grossly unsanitary or hazardous housekeeping habits, which includes the creation
of health or safety hazards through acts of neglect, or causing, or permitting to cause any damage to or

improperly; failing to use in a reasonable and proper manner all utilities, facilities, services, appliances
and equipment within the dwelling unit, or failing to maintain them in good and clean condition; or any
other conduct or neglect which could result in health or safety problems or in damage to the premises.
35 of 43

Report from Qualified Agency
In cases where a qualified agency, such as Protective Services, reports that a family shows potential for
improvement in the area of housekeeping, an eligibility decision will be reached after receiving such a referral
or recommendation from such an agency.
Appeal Process
All denied applicants have 14 days to respond in writing or to request a meeting to discuss their rejection. Appeal
letters should be sent to the address on the cover page of this Tenant Selection Plan. A member of HAMC staff
who was not involved in the initial decision to deny admission will conduct a meeting with the applicant. A written
response will be sent to the applicant within 5 days following the review meeting with the final decision.
36 of 43

XIII. Acceptance of Eligible Applicants
Offering a Unit
When a unit becomes available for occupancy, it will be offered either to the first Extremely Low-income applicant
on the Waiting List, or, if the income-targeting percentage has already been met, to the first applicant at the top
of the Waiting List. If the applicant cannot be contacted within five (5) working days, the offer will be canceled and
the unit will be offered to the next applicant on the Waiting List. In that event, the first applicant will be sent a
letter requesting confirmation of their interest in remaining on the Waiting List. If the applicant replies
affirmatively, their application will retain its position on the Waiting List. The applicant will be advised at that time
that if another unit becomes available and they cannot be reached within five (5) working days, their name will be
moved to the bottom of the waiting list. If the applicant’s reply is negative, or if no reply is received within five (5)
working days, the application will be withdrawn and removed from the wait list.
Preparing to Move In
• The applicant and site manager or his/her designee will inspect the unit, and will both sign the Move-In
Inspection Form;
• All applicants will sign the lease and related documents;

Move-In Inspection
Before executing the lease the HAMC representative and the resident will jointly inspect the unit. The move-in
inspection form will be used to indicate the condition of the unit. The condition of the unit must be decent,
safe, sanitary, and in good repair. If cleaning or repair is required, HAMC will specify on the form the date by
which the work will be completed, which will be no later than 30 days after the effective date of the lease.
After the move-in inspection, the resident has five (5) days to report any additional deficiencies in the unit to
management. The complete move-in inspection will be attached to the lease. The inspection form must be
signed and dated by both HAMC and the resident.
Initial and Renewal Leases
Applicants will be required to sign a lease for the program under which they are being admitted, in
accordance with Figure 6-2 of HUD’s occupancy handbook, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1. The initial lease
term and any renewal lease terms will be determined in accordance with Figure 6-4 of the handbook.
Determination of Security Deposit
Security deposit amounts will be determined in accordance with Figure 6-7 of HUD’s occupancy handbook,
HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1, which is equal to the greater of $50 or the household’s total tenant payment at
move-in.
37 of 43

Pet Deposit (if applicable)

HUD’s occupancy handbook, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1.
Failure to Move In on Time
If an applicant fails to move in on the agreed date, the applicant will be contacted to determine if extenuating
circumstances exist. If HAMC determines that extenuating circumstances do exist, and the applicant cannot
immediately move into HAMC, the application will be returned to its current spot on the waiting list, and the
unit will be offered to the next household on the Waiting List. If HAMC does not find that there are
extenuating circumstances, the application will be withdrawn.
Charges for Facilities and Services
Checks Returned for Insufficient Funds
HAMC will impose a fee on the second time, and each additional time, a check is not honored for payment. In
addition, the resident will be billed for the amount the bank charges for processing the returned check.
Damages
Whenever damage is caused by carelessness, misuse, or neglect on the part of the resident, household
member, or visitor, the resident is obligated to reimburse HAMC for the damages within 30 days after the

housekeeping habits. If a resident is written up for poor housekeeping habits, s/he must clean their unit within ten
(10) days for a re-inspection. If a resident has three (3) unsatisfactory inspections, s/he will be required to move
out of the property in accordance and upon notification of Termination of Tenancy.
House Rules
HAMC has House Rules that are attached to the Lease. These rules are reviewed annually and may be modified.
Residents will be notified of any modifications to the House Rules 30 days before they become effective. All
residents will be given the opportunity to accept the changes in writing. If a resident chooses to reject any House
Rule changes, s/he will be required to move out of HAMC within 60 days.

XIV. Resident Responsibilities After Move-In
Annual Recertification Requirements
Once a resident has moved into assisted housing and has gone through the process of having his/her income,
assets, and allowances verified, HUD requires HAMC to go through that same process of certification on an
annual basis to ensure residents are paying rent based on their ability to pay. This system of annually re-
verifying income is called Annual Recertification.
Per the HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV.1, owners/management agents are allowed to conduct criminal background
checks as part of the recertification process. HAMC will be administering criminal background checks during
annual recertification. If any criminal activities have been found (see page 21 and 22) HAMC will require the
household to move out within 30 days or elect to not renew their lease due to unfavorable criminal activity.
HAMC will initiate the annual recertification process by first notifying the resident at the signing of each lease of
their obligation to recertify next year. One hundred and twenty (120) days before the new recertification effective
date, HAMC will send a reminder notification of their need to report for an Annual Recertification. The resident is
then obligated to respond to these notices by reporting to HAMC at the requested time, to complete the
recertification process. If the resident does not respond or has not started the recertification process within 60
days prior to his/her recertification date, the resident has waived his/her right to a thirty day notice of rent
increase and HAMC may terminate tenancy due to noncompliance.
Interim Recertification Requirements
If circumstances occur in a resident’s life that affect his/her ability to pay their rent, a recertification of income,
assets, allowances, or household composition should take place before the next scheduled annual recertification
is due. This action is called an Interim Recertification. Owners and residents both have certain responsibilities
under HUD regulations to initiate interim re-certifications to ensure that an assisted resident continues to pay rent
according to his/her ability to pay.
Owner Responsibility
HAMC will process interim re-certifications when the resident reports circumstances which would decrease
the rent, as indicated in Chapter 7 of HUD’s occupancy handbook, HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1.
Resident Responsibility
If an assisted resident experiences certain changes in their income or household composition at a time
other than their scheduled annual recertification, HUD requires them to immediately report these changes
to HAMC, so that an interim recertification can be processed, as listed in Paragraph 16 of the Model Lease.
Unit Transfer Policy
When a resident reports a change in the number of household members, or a change in the household
composition, HAMC will determine if the current unit is still appropriate for the new household. To make this
determination HAMC will rely on the occupancy standards implemented for HAMC on Page 18 of this Tenant
Selection Plan.
HAMC will determine if there is an appropriately sized unit in HAMC, and if there is a market for the size of unit
the resident would be vacating. For more information on Unit Transfers, go to Page 19 of this Tenant Selection
Plan.
Implementation of House Rules
The house rules in effect at this property are in place to ensure the safety, care, and cleanliness of the building,
and the safety and comfort of the residents. They are in compliance with HUD, state and local requirements, and
39 of 43

do not discriminate against individuals based upon membership in a protected class. HAMC will give residents a
written 30-day notice prior to implementing any new house rules.
40 of 43

XV. Termination
Termination of Assistance
HAMC will terminate a resident’s assistance if:
• The resident fails to provide required information at the time of recertification, including changes in
family composition, or changes in income or Social Security numbers for new family members;
• The resident fails to sign/submit required consent and verification forms (HUD-9887 and HUD-9887a);
• An annual or interim recertification determines that the resident has an increased ability to pay the full
contract rent;
• The resident fails to move to a different-sized unit within 30 days after HAMC notifies him/her that a
transfer is required, and that the unit of the required size is available;
• The resident has begun receiving assistance, HAMC is unable to establish citizenship or eligible
immigration status for any family members from the information provided by the resident, and
determines that the resident does not meet the citizenship requirement;
• Actions to terminate assistance will be based only on a change in the resident’s eligibility for assistance or
a resident’s failure to fulfill specific responsibilities under program requirements.
• A student enrolled at an institution of higher education does not meet the eligibility requirements for
Section 8 assistance
• The resident does not sign the required HUD-50059 or HUD-50059a form.
Termination of Tenancy by Owner
Grounds for Termination of Tenancy
Owners are expected to enforce program requirements under the terms of the lease. Similarly, HUD
expects tenants to comply with the program requirements as established in the lease. HAMC will enforce
the lease and house rules, and if lease obligations are not fulfilled, HAMC will initiate termination
proceedings to guarantee the other residents’ health, safety, and peaceful enjoyment of the property.
Termination of tenancy is the first step in the eviction process and is often used interchangeable with the
term eviction. When terminating tenancy, the owner gives the resident notice to vacate the unit because
of a lease violation(s). A resident who fails to vacate the unit after receiving notice from the owner may
face judicial action initiated by the owner to evict the resident. The owner may only terminate tenancy for
Material Non-compliance, Criminal Activity, Failure to Carry Out Obligations under Arizona Landlord
Tenant Law and Other Good Cause.
Material Non-Compliance
Owners may terminate tenancy when a resident is in material non-compliance with the lease. Material Non-
Compliance includes:
• Failure of the resident to submit, in time, all required information on household income and
composition (example: evidence of citizenship, or eligible immigration status; disclosing and verifying
social security numbers; or signing and submitting consent forms allowing verification of information
regarding the resident’s income and eligibility)
• The Resident knowingly providing incomplete or inaccurate information
• Extended absence or abandonment of the unit as defined in the house rules for the property, or in state
or local law
• Fraud, which is when a resident knowingly provides inaccurate or incomplete information, either at the
time or move in or after the residency has been established
• Repeated minor violations that: Disrupt the livability of the property; adversely affect the health or
safety of any person, or the right of any resident to the peaceful enjoyment of the property; Interfere
with the management of the property, or have an adverse financial effect on the property
• Nonpayment of rent due under the lease, or repayment agreement, including any portion thereof.
41 of 43

Criminal Activity
Owners may terminate residency and evict residents for criminal activity by a covered person (a resident,
household member, guest, or other person un the resident’s control) if they determine that the covered
person has engaged in the criminal activity, regardless of whether the covered person has been arrested or
convicted for such activity and without satisfying a criminal conviction standard or proof of the activity. HAMC
may terminate tenancy for any of the following types of criminal activity by a covered person:
• Any criminal activity that threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by
other residents (including property management staff resident on the premises; or
• Illegal drug use. HAMC may evict a family if it is determined that a household member is illegally using a
drug or when owners determine that a pattern of illegal use of a drug interferes with the health, safety,
or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents.
• Alcohol abuse. HAMC may terminate tenancy if it is determined that a household member’s abuse or
pattern of abuse of alcohol threatens the health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises
by other residents.
• Fleeing to avoid prosecution, or custody or confinement after conviction for a crime, or attempting to
commit a crime that is a felony under the laws of the place from which the individual flees, or that, in
the case of the State of New Jersey, is a high misdemeanor; or
• Violating a condition of probation or parole imposed under federal or state law
Failure to Carry Out Obligations Under Arizona Landlord Tenant Law
HAMC may terminate tenancy if the resident fails to comply with State and Local laws regulating the tenancy.
Other Good Cause
Other Good Cause includes: Resident refusal to accept an approved modification of the lease
Termination Notice
When an owner terminates tenancy, written notice must be provided to the resident. The notice must reflect
the following:
• State the reason for the action with enough detail to enable the resident to prepare a defense;
• Advise the resident that remaining in the unit on the termination date specified in the notice may result
in the owner seeking to enforce the termination in court, at which time the resident may present a
defense;
• Advise the resident that s/he has 10 days within which to discuss termination of tenancy with the
Owner
• When the terminating tenancy for material noncompliance, criminal activity, and failure to comply with
state and local landlord tenant laws, the length of the notice period is determined by Arizona Law,
which provides for a minimum of three (3) days notice. Notices based upon Other Good Cause must be
a minimum of thirty (30) days.
Termination of Tenancy by Resident
In order to terminate tenancy, the resident must provide HAMC with a written 30-day notice to vacate the unit, as
required in the lease.

EIV Use and Security Policy
Purpose:
The purpose of this policy is to provide instruction and information to staff, auditors, consultants,
contractors and tenants on the acceptable use, disposition and storage of data obtained through
EIV (Enterprise Income Verification System).
The purpose of EIV is to assist the HUD, Contract Administrators, owners and their agents in
streamlining the income verification process and to help in minimizing the need for 3rd party
verification. EIV allows the user to identify:
x Applicants currently receiving HUD assistance
x Income not previously reported
x New employment
x Historical patterns of earnings and received income
x Multi-subsidy for household members included in both PIC and TRACS databases
x Deceased household member(s)
In addition, information in EIV can be used to provide more comprehensive oversight to
compliance policies and their implementation. The data provided via EIV system will be
protected to ensure that it is only used for official purposes and not disclosed in any way that
would violate the privacy of the individuals represented in the system data. Privacy of data and
data security for computer systems are covered by a variety of federal laws and regulations,
government bulletins, and other guiding documents.
Safeguarding EIV Data
The information processed by any EIV system can include wage and income data about private
individuals, as well as identifying information such as Social Security Number, Address, and
Employment information. This policy describes methods to comply with HUD’s required EIV
safeguards.
Technical safeguards
1. Reduce the risk of a security violation related to the EIV system's software, network, or
applications.
2. Identify and authenticate all users seeking to use the EIV system data.
3. Deter and detect attempts to access the system without authorization.
4. Monitor the user activity on the EIV system.
Administrative safeguards
1. Ensure that access rights, roles, and responsibilities are appropriately and adequately
assigned.
2. Protect copies of sensitive data and destroy system-related records to prevent
reconstruction of the contents.
3. Ensure authorized release of tenant information consent forms are included in all family
files, before accessing and using data.
4. Maintain, communicate, and enforce standard operating procedures related to securing
EIV data.
1 of 8

EIV Use and Security Policy
5. Train staff on security measures and awareness, preventing the unauthorized
accessibility and use of data.
Physical safeguards
1. Establish barriers between unauthorized persons and documents or computer media
containing private data.
2. Clearly identify restricted areas by use of prominently posted signs or other indicators.
3. Develop a list of authorized users who can access restricted areas-e.g., contractors,
maintenance, and janitorial/cleaning staff.
4. Prevent undetected entry into protected areas and/or documents.
5. Notify Coordinators/Security Administrators of system breaches and penetration by
unauthorized users.
Designated staff will have the responsibility of ensuring compliance with the security policies
and procedures outlined in this document. These responsibilities include:
x Maintaining and enforcing the security procedures
x Keeping records and monitoring security issues
x Communicating security information and requirements to appropriate personnel
including coordinating and conducting security awareness training sessions
x Conducting review of all User ID’s issued to determine if the users still have a valid need
to access EIV data and taking necessary steps to ensure that access rights are revoked
or modified as appropriate
x Reporting any evidence of unauthorized access or known security breaches to
designated staff and taking immediate action to address the impact of the breach
including but not limited to prompt notification to designated staff. Designated staff will
escalate the incident by reporting to appropriate parties including the Contract
Administrator or HUD.
Limiting Access to EIV Data
User accounts for the EIV system will be provided on a need-to-know basis, with appropriate
approval and authorization.
Security Awareness Training
Security awareness training is a crucial aspect of ensuring the security of the EIV System and
data. Users and potential users will be made aware of the importance of respecting the privacy
of data, following established procedures to maintain privacy and security, and notifying
management in the event of a security or privacy violation. Before granting access to the EIV
information, each person must be trained in EIV Security policies and procedures. Additionally,
all employees having access to EIV Data will be briefed at least annually on the security policy
and procedures that require their awareness and compliance. Information about user access
and training will be maintained in the property EIV file. See Appendix B.
EIV System Coordinators
Before accessing EIV, the Secure Systems Coordinators will obtain a letter from each property
owner indicating that the owner gives permission for the Secure Systems Coordinator to act as
2 of 8

EIV Use and Security Policy
the EIV coordinator. Once that permission is obtained, the Coordinator will review the EIV
training material provided by HUD and complete the appropriate Security Awareness Training
Questionnaire and review the EIV Security Policy and the EIV User Policy. Upon completion of
these three tasks, the EIV Coordinator will submit, to HUD, the appropriate Coordinator Access
Authorization Forms. Upon receipt of HUD approval, the EIV Coordinator will complete the EIV
Coordinator setup process.
EIV Users
Before requesting EIV User access, appropriate staff will review the EIV training material
provided by HUD and complete the appropriate Security Awareness Training Questionnaire and
review the EIV Security Policy and the EIV User Policy. Upon completion of these three tasks,
the EIV User will submit, to the EIV Coordinator, the appropriate User Access Authorization
Form. Upon receipt the EIV Coordinator will review the completed Security Awareness Training
Questionnaire for accuracy and recommend further training if necessary. If the EIV Coordinator
feels that the EIV User candidate does not understand the security requirements, the EIV
Coordinator will not continue with the EIV setup for that user.
Note: Under no circumstances will the EIV Coordinator process the User Access Authorization Form
unless the executed Security Awareness Training Questionnaire, the signed EIV Security Policy and the
signed EIV User Policy are attached.
Once the user request information is satisfactorily completed, the EIV Coordinator will complete
the appropriate steps to provide EIV access to the user. In accordance with HUD requirements,
the user’s need for access will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.
At least once a year, staff with EIV access will be required to:
x Participate in training that includes a review of the EIV security policy and
x Complete the EIV Security Awareness Training Questionnaire
The owner/agent will restrict access to EIV data only to persons whose duties or
responsibilities require access. EIV Coordinators will be required to request re-certification on
an annual basis. EIV Coordinators are authorized to provide access only to those individuals
directly involved in the resident certification process and/or compliance monitoring. EIV
Coordinators will carefully review initial and quarterly requests for access and certify only those
users who will need access within the next 90 days.
The owner/agent will maintain a record of users who have approved access to EIV data.
Further, the owner/agent will revoke (Expire) the access rights of those users who no longer
require such access or modify the access rights if a change in the user’s duties or
responsibilities indicates a change in the current level of privilege.
The owner/agent will assure that a copy of Form-9887 and Form 9887-A has been signed by
each member of the household age 18 years or older. The 9887 will be presented at move-in
and/or initial certification. If a household member turns 18 in the middle of a certification cycle,
that household member should sign Form 9887 and Form 9887-A within 7 days of turning 18.
(See HUD 9887 Fact Sheet for exceptions due to extenuating circumstances) All HUD-9887’s
will be placed in a resident file and will be updated on an annual basis for each adult household
member.
3 of 8

EIV Use and Security Policy
The HUD 9887 Fact Sheet will be provided to all adult household members required to sign the
form. By signing this HUD Form 9887 and HUD Form 9887-A, the applicant/resident authorizes
HUD and/or the owner/agent to obtain and verify income and unemployment compensation
information from various sources including. But not limited to the IRS, the Department of Health
and Human Services and the Social Security Administration, current and former employers and
state agencies.
User Names, Passwords and Password Changes
Many systems require frequent changes in passwords. Secure Systems/ EIV passwords will be
changed in accordance with HUD Secure Systems requirements. Users will not share user
names or passwords with any other employee or with anyone outside the organization. EIV
access granted to an employee or authorized user will be revoked when access is no longer
required or prior to termination of that employee or user to ensure data safety. Termination of
EIV Access and un-assigning property access through “Property Assignment Maintenance” is
required.
The EIV file will be documented to indicate when user access was terminated by the EIV
Coordinator. Documentation of termination will be maintained in the property EIV file and in the
employee’s personnel file.
Computer System Security Requirements
All computer systems and computers will have password restricted access. The owner/agent
will also use Antivirus software to limit data destruction or unintended transmission via virus,
worms, Trojan horses or other malicious means. Remote access by other computers other than
those specifically authorized is prohibited.
Authorized users of EIV data are directed to avoid leaving EIV data displayed on their computer
screens where unauthorized users may view it. A computer will not be left unattended while the
user is “logged in” to Secure Systems. If an authorized user is viewing EIV data and an
unauthorized user approaches the work area, the authorized user will lessen the chance of
inadvertent disclosure of EIV data by minimizing or closing out the screen on which the EIV data
is being displayed.
Physical Security Requirements
The owner/agent may use a combination of methods to provide physical security for resident
file records. The EIV data may be maintained in a locked metal file cabinet within a locked
file room.
Restricted Areas: The owner/agent will have the areas clearly identified by the use of
prominently posted signs or other indicators. For example “Employees Only”. This sign will be
posted on the door to the locked file room. The restricted areas will be separated from non-
restricted areas by physical barriers that control access and/or will have limited points of entry.
Since the EIV data in resident files is maintained in the locked file room, designated staff will
establish and maintain a key control log to track the inventory of keys available, the number of
keys issued and to whom the keys are issued. All employees and contractors who have been
issued keys to the file room will complete a form acknowledging the receipt of the key. See
Appendix A.
4 of 8

EIV Use and Security Policy
Users will retrieve computer printouts as soon as they are generated so that EIV data is not left
unattended in printers or fax machines where unauthorized users may access them. EIV data
will be handled in such a manner that it does not become misplaced or available to
unauthorized personnel.
Use and Handling of EIV Data
EIV Data serves two purposes:
1. Verification of specific income information provided by the resident
2. Monitoring resident and staff compliance
Use of the data is described in the EIV User Policies. This policy is designed to describe the
security protocol used to protect EIV data.
EIV Printouts
Reports available through EIV will not be printed to a shared printer unless the EIV user plans to
immediately retrieve the data. It is preferred that all EIV printouts are sent to the user’s personal
printer. EIV printouts will be stored in the resident file in a separate manila envelope. The
Documentation of EIV Data will be included in the resident file. This entire file will be made
available to authorized people including appropriate staff or contractors (i.e. Service Bureaus,
contractors performing file reviews, etc.) for the owner/agent, HUD staff, Contract Administration
staff and the Office of the Inspector General.
If other people are tasked with reviewing the file, such as financial auditors complying with the
Consolidated Audit Guide (Handbook IG 2000.04), the EIV printout in the manila folder including
the EIV printout will be removed from the file and the Documentation of EIV Data will remain in
the file to provide appropriate information required by the file audit.
Note regarding properties with Tax Credit or 515 “layering”: Neither the EIV Printout nor the
Documentation of EIV Data will be provided to any Tax Credit or 515 Auditor since EIV may not be used
to verify information for residents participating in those programs. Alternative verification documents must
be used to verify income for Tax Credits or 515 programs. For Social Security and Medicare information,
the resident file must include an SSA Benefit/Award letter. For employment income and unemployment
income, the resident file should contain verification documents as provided in HUD Handbook 4350.3
Revision 1, Appendix 3.
If a resident requests a copy of their own EIV printout, a copy will be produced. The staff
person providing the copy will note that the printout is a copy provided to the resident upon
request. This note will include the following:
x This is not an original, this is a copy provided to:____________________
x On ___________ ____, 20__
x By_____________________(name will be printed)
x Initials_____________
5 of 8

EIV Use and Security Policy
The appropriate staff will make a note in the file any time a copy of the EIV data is obtained by
authorized persons and taken off site. This includes copies provided to the applicant/resident,
other internal staff, HUD, CA or OIG staff. Under no circumstances will the EIV information be
provided to anyone other than those noted in this paragraph.
Other Language
Since site staff may not have access to the EIV database, designated staff is responsible
for providing income verification and discrepancy information to the site. Information
must be sent in such a way as to ensure the security of the data. Preferably, information
will be sent electronically via email or via electronic fax. The email will be opened by the
appropriate staff person, the information will be printed and the email will be immediately
deleted from the recipient’s email box.
If necessary, printouts will be produced by designated staff and sent express mail. In
this case the recipient will be required to sign for the package to ensure that the
information is delivered and there is no risk of disclosure to unauthorized persons.
Immediately upon receipt, the printouts will be filed and secured as appropriate.
Electronic Information from EIV
Under no circumstances should anyone save or scan EIV information to retain an
electronic copy. In order to ensure compliance with HUD’s security requirements, EIV
information should only be produced in hard copy and maintained in accordance with
the recordkeeping requirements outlined by HUD.
Alternative
In some cases, there may be a need to send or store EIV information electronically. If
there is need to store the information on a hard drive, a specific folder will be created.
The folder will be password protected to prevent unauthorized access. Information in the
folder will be purged periodically to comply with HUD’s EIV file retention policies.
If EIV information is copied to portable media (CD, DVD, tape, etc.) that portable media
will be destroyed appropriately upon completion of the intended use.
Reporting Improper Disclosures
Recognition, reporting, and disciplinary action in response to security violations are crucial to
successfully maintaining the security and privacy of the EIV system. These security violations
may include the disclosure of private data as well as attempts to access unauthorized data and
sharing of User ID’s and passwords. Upon the discovery of a possible improper disclosure of
EIV information or other security violation by an employee or any other person, the individual
making the observation or receiving the information will contact the EIV Coordinator and
designated staff who will document all improper disclosures in writing providing details
including who was involved, what was disclosed, how the disclosure occurred, and where and
when it occurred. The EIV Coordinator will immediately review the report of improper disclosure
and, if appropriate, the EIV Coordinator will remove EIV access.
6 of 8

EIV Use and Security Policy
Improper disclosure of any information is grounds for immediate termination. All
employees should carefully review the EIV Access Authorization Form to understand the
penalties for improper disclosure of EIV data.
Disposal of EIV Information
EIV data will be destroyed in a timely manner based on the information provided in HUD’s
published EIV training materials, HUD notices or as prescribed by the owner/agent’s policy and
procedures. The owner/agent’s policy and procedures will not allow data retention that is longer
than the time allowed in the published HUD materials.
As necessary, all EIV originals will be shredded. Information about use of EIV information and
how printouts were destroyed will be maintained in the resident file.

B.2 Occupancy by Over‐Income Families
Subject to certain restrictions, HUD authorizes, through 24 CFR 960.261, HAMC to evict or terminate the tenancies of families
because they are over income. Unless required to do so by local law, HAMC may not evict or terminate the tenancy of a family
solely because the family is over income if: (1) the family has a valid contract of participation in the Family Self‐Sufficiency (FSS)
program, or (2) the family is currently receiving the earned income disallowance (EID). This rule does not require HAMC to evict
over‐income residents, but rather gives HAMC the discretion to do so thereby making units available for applicants who are
income‐eligible.
HAMC will not renew a public housing household lease if family has continually exceeded the Area Median Income for a period
of five (5) consecutive years and are not participating in the Family Self Sufficiency Program or receiving the Earned Income
Disallowance.
In the event of hardship, the family may request an extension if a known household change will be occurring, known decreases
in future earnings or other qualifying events that may reduce the household income.
Implementation of the above restriction became effective March 2016. Existing households that may be over income or have
been over income, will be given the five (5) year timeline at their next annual recertification following implementation.

B.2 Project Based Vouchers
HAMC submitted a Low-Income Housing Tax Credit application to the Arizona Department of Housing for the development of a
Mesa, Arizona 60-unit new construction project known as “The Residences at Temple Groves” as co-developers with Gorman
and Company. This site would make an ideal location for a LIHTC-financed development with HAMC Project Based Vouchers
(PBV). HAMC would seek 80% of the units (48) be PBV.
HAMC may work with non-profit partners to administer Project Based Vouchers.

Appendix B. 4 Fiscal Year Audit
Appendix B. 1: Revision of PHA Plan Elements

B.4 Most Recent Fiscal Year Audit
The Housing Authority of Maricopa County respectfully submits the following Corrective Action Plan for the year ended 2017.
The audit findings from the Schedule of Findings and Questions Costs for the year ended June 30, 2017 are discussed below.
The finding is numbered consistently with the number assigned in the schedule provided by the independent accounting firm
Maletta & Company, CPAs, 43 Enterprise Drive, Bristol, Connecticut 06010.
FINDINGS RELATED TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT AUDIT AS REQUIRED TO BE REPORTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
GENERALLY ACCEPTED GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
MATERIAL WEAKNESS
2017‐001 Balance Sheet Reconciliation
Condition: Balance sheet accounts are not reconciled timely and/or on a periodic basis. Most significantly, bank
reconciliations were not completed timely throughout the year. In addition, the bank reconciliation process includes
significant recording activities..
Criteria: Adequate internal controls require timely recording and reconciliation of general ledger activity to ensure
accurate financial reporting and the safeguarding of funds.
Cause:
 Employee turnover
 Chronically behind on financial processes/reconciliations
 Complexity of accounting enterprise software including creation of new cost centers
 Increased training and monitoring requirements due to the above causes.
Effect or Potential Effect: Significant yearend reconciliations and adjustments were necessary to report accurate financial
statements. Most significantly, bank reconciliations contained approximately $90,000 in unreconciled differences and
interfund balances and interprogram transfers required $321,725 and $493,920 in audit adjustments to correct.
Recommendation: We recommend that financial activity be reconciled on a periodic basis to ensure accurate and
timely financial reporting. Further, we recommend the Authority discontinue the process of reported and
recording inter‐program and other month‐end reconciliation entries through the bank reconciliation function.
The bank reconciliation process should not be used to track and record entries within the accounting system.
Unreconciled items should be corrected with approved journal entries in a timely basis.
Corrective Action/Actions Taken: HAMC will be updating the bank reconciliation process to include timely resolution for
“unreconciled” or “need more research” items along with separate reconciliations for non‐cash items. Additionally trainings
and technical assistance has been obtained to accelerate and address the agency’s learning curve for newer staff.
Target Completion Date: Corrective action has been taken with full implementation by December 2017, which includes review
and reconciliation of all balance sheet accounts on a monthly basis.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY
2017‐002 Reporting Housing Choice Voucher‐CFDA # 14.871
Condition: Financial data reported to HUD through the Voucher Management System (VMS) was not reported in
accordance with program requirements as data contained errors or was otherwise incomplete. Missing data
included reporting monthly FSS escrow payments and FSS forfeitures. In addition, it is unclear if other activity such
as ACH returns and landlord repayments are effectively considered in reported amounts
Criteria: Agencies are required to report leasing and other programmatic activity to VMS on a monthly basis in
accordance the accrual method of accounting.
Cause: Employee oversight in reporting certain line items of VMS and lack of reconciliation and/or assessment of
completeness of data reported.
Effect or Potential Effect: Authority reported program expenditures in excess of actual amounts resulting in inaccurate
program funding totaling approximately $100,000 due to error and potentially another $73,663 due to differences in
annualized amounts versus amounts reported in the financial statements..
Recommendation: We recommend the Authority update VMS to adjust for items identified during the audit to
ensure that program funding is reconciled appropriately prior closeout of the calendar year funding period. In
addition, reported amounts should be reconciled to bank activity and/or the Authority’s general ledger for
appropriateness, accuracy and completeness. Further, financial activity reported in VMS should include all areas
required by program requirements such as reporting of FSS Escrow Deposits and FSS forfeitures in the
appropriate reporting fields.
Corrective Action/Actions Taken: HAMC will be reconciling VMS data with bank activity as part of the bank reconciliation and
month end process to include proper classification on financial statements, sub ledgers, and external reports along with
timely resolution of unreconciled or outstanding balances.
Target Completion Date: Complete, corrective action has been taken with full implementation by December 2017, which
includes audit adjustments to VMS reports and reconciliation and transfer of FSS balances.

Appendix B. 5 Progress Report
Appendix B. 1: Revision of PHA Plan Elements

B.5 Progress Report
The Mission of the Housing Authority of Maricopa County is to improve the quality of life of families and strengthen
communities by developing and sustaining affordable housing programs; and to become a leading housing authority by
exemplifying best practices, offering innovative affordable housing programs, and expanding accessibility throughout Maricopa
County. HAMC’s progress in meeting its Mission and Goals:
Increase opportunities for our residents to move beyond their housing needs towards self‐sufficiency.
HAMC has built partnerships with other local government and nonprofit agencies to increase services and resources
available to HAMC residents and HCV voucher holders to move towards personal development, education, and
employability. Of note, HAMC has maintained linkages to Maricopa County Human Services Department programming
allowing HAMC residents and voucher holders to improve their credit scores, obtain GED certificates, attend college, earn
workforce/technology certificates, increase wage based incomes, and reduce reliance on welfare assistance. Elderly and
disabled families benefit from these partnerships through improved access to programming such as SAIL case management
and personal care and home health assistance.
The relationship with Maricopa County Human Services has been expanded to include properties and participants in its RAD
conversions. Coffelt and Madison Heights have access to resident services provided by many partners to include Maricopa
County Human Services, A New Leaf, Valle de Sol, Avondale Elementary School District, Kid’s Café with St Mary’s Food Bank,
City of Phoenix Parks and Recreational Department and Si Se Puede Robotics Program. The services include access to clinical
services, recreational activities, STEM & after school programming with snacks, workforce connections, training/education,
access to head start, referrals for assistance from Community Action Agencies and senior programming.
HAMC established a new partnership with Maricopa County Public Health in the rollout of a Community Health Worker
Internship for HAMC residents. Secured one resident internship and implemented health service activities for El Mirage and
Surprise. HAMC also established a partnership with A New Leaf FOC La Mesita Workforce whereby graduated 5 Mesa
housing residents from the program.
HAMC's resident services goals include seeking future funding and creating a flagship program to continue supporting site
based partner services coordination and resident self‐sufficiency engagement activities. A 2018 Visioning Session will focus
on securing pools for funding key resident self‐sufficiency needs, service partner coordination activities and new service gaps
identified through the ROSSSC effort. The resident service categories being explored for development under our HAMC
Resident Services Flagship Program is anticipated to include: Resident Workforce / Work experience training, Financial
Independence /Self Reliance , After School childcare/child watch, Nutrition /Food Security services, Community
Health/Public Health Education , Mental Health /Parent and Senior Services.
Increase housing options in underserved communities.
The HAMC‐Mercy Maricopa Integrated Care BRIDGE to Permanency Program grew from 50 to 100 subsidies within the first
year. Though the program is not yet leased up to capacity, all of the slots are active and participants are in search mode.
HAMC anticipates expansion of our partnership with MMIC in the Bridge program.
HAMC implemented a program whereby a portion of its Housing Choice Voucher attrition is dedicated to assist in the
County’s efforts to end homelessness. Additionally, a Justice‐Involved Tenant Based Rental Assistance program in
partnership with Maricopa County Correctional Health and the Human Services departments was developed and
implemented.

HAMC’s Housing Program experienced modest improvement in 2017 in housing the homeless population. Fourteen (14)
families, with a “verifiable” Homeless preference were pulled from the CY 2017 Public Housing Wait List and housed within
our communities.
Madison Heights has a designated 30 units for Homeless families. In CY 2017, a total of five (5) families with a “Homeless”
Designation moved into Madison Heights. As of December 2017, 27 of the 30 units were occupied with families who
received a Homeless preference.
All HAMC properties, through HUD’s RAD program, will convert to Section 8 rental assistance and will undergo rehabilitation
and/or redevelopment as outlined in Conversion of Public Housing to Project‐Based Assistance under RAD section of this
document. The redevelopment of two of HAMC’s largest properties, Madison Heights and Coffelt, is complete. 335 more
Public Housing Units have been converted into the RAD program capitalized over the next 20 years using private and public
funds.
66 Units (Norton and Watson) were released from public housing restrictions and have been repositioned as "market
affordable.” They are currently operated as affordable market rentals, and being evaluated in various partnership capacities
that may include more density in Norton and a potential disposition of units in Watson.
In late 2017, HUD published PIH 2017‐17 “Registration of Interest for HUD‐VASH Vouchers. The 2017 Appropriations Act
provides $40 million in VASH funding that will support approximately 5,500 new vouchers. The notice seeks to identify PHAs
with interest in receiving new HUD‐VASH awards. These vouchers will be administered in partnership with the VA and
enable homeless veterans and their families to access affordable housing with an array of supportive services. The PHX VA
provided a letter of support for HAMC to apply in this round for 20 project‐based and 10 tenant‐based vouchers in the
Avondale, Surprise, Glendale, or Peoria area. HAMC was not successful in its application.
HAMC evaluated several options for pre‐purchase counseling and down payment/closing cost assistance, and determined
the Home in Five program is the best option for the 70‐west valley single family homes. HAMC will order an appraisal of each
home, prepare a pre‐development budget and develop the homeownership plan.
Promote employee growth and build organizational capacity in support of the agency becoming a High Performer.
HAMC was again officially designated a High Performing agency. This is the third consecutive year HAMC has been High
Performer and submitted a SEMAP certification with zero Corrective Actions identified.
The Board of Commissioners supported HAMC in the establishment of an affiliate non‐profit for the purposes of aiding
HAMC in its endeavor to increase housing options in Maricopa County. In August 2017, the Board approved Gem Housing
Solutions Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, and in November 2017 approved the appointments of Gloria Munoz, Mario
Aniles, and Irma Hollamby to the Board of Directors. The nonprofit was incorporated in December 2017.
One strategy HAMC employed to promote organizational growth and build capacity is through the cultivation of
partnerships with community agencies and other industry organizations as a resource for information and industry trends.
To that end, the Executive Director is President of the Arizona Housing Directors Association and Arizona Housing Alliance,
and a Board member of the Arizona Multihousing Association. The Director of Administration & Housing Services serves as
Membership chair on the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials, Arizona Chapter, and serves as a
partner in Maricopa County’s Hand In Hand Collaborative – a group of representatives from Maricopa County Correctional
Health Services, (CHS), Justice Systems Planning & Information (JSPI), Human Services Department (HSD), Housing Authority
of Maricopa County (HAMC), and Mercy Maricopa Integrated Care (MMIC), who have created a partnership to reduce
recidivism, and connect people experiencing homelessness, and are justice engaged, to appropriate housing, and supportive
services. All these organizations provide industry updates on the local, state and federal level, and this information is shared
with staff.
The ROSSSC Program established new on‐site service partnerships to coordinate health/ health education services through
MC Public Health, MC Access Point Workforce Development services, New Leaf family resources partnership, Touchstone
Behavioral Health Substance Abuse prevention and Teen Services, St Mary's Food Bank/USDA, Kids Café and Back Pack

Programs and expansion of CPLC Family Resource Center services. Housing communities free afterschool child watch service
through ROSSSC sponsored now provides afterschool resident operated child watch services at Rose Terrace, El Mirage, and
Madison Heights. Eighty families are enrolled in this effort with expansion to be considered for 2018.
HAMC is piloting HUD’s new inspection protocol called UPCS‐V. This new protocol will enhance the consistency and
objectivity of the inspection process, and will provide more information about the condition of individual housing units.
Through this initiative, HUD aims to clarify and streamline inspection processes for housing authorities and inspectors while
increasing owners’ and tenants’ access to detailed information about their homes in a national database. The HCV
Inspections Department is on track to work side by side with HUD on their pilot program for UPCSV where they will receive
hands on training from HUD staff.
Emphasize organizational performance and results by being responsive to our customers.
FY2017 Audit resulted in an “Unmodified” audit opinion (the best audit opinion that can be obtained). The agency continues
to show it can respond to increased financial complexity as we continue to evolve by ensuring investment in our
infrastructure and human capital is maintained and areas of improvement addressed. Feedback from our audits,
consultants, partners, and other stakeholders continues to be a major factor in prioritizing our resources and an ongoing
source of validation that external expectations are being met. Our Mixed Finance sites were also provided “Unmodified”
opinions allowing us to remain compliant with our lenders and partners. We strive to maintain a high level of integrity,
accuracy, and prudence in our financial stewardship, as evidenced by our financial performance, and remain leaders in our
industry due to the mission focus and forward thinking of our Director and dedication and capacity of our staff.

B.6 Resident Advisory Board Comments
2018 Annual Agency Plan Resident Meetings
HAMC facilitated local area meetings to address the required US Department of Housing and Urban Development mandate that
the PHA coordinate an annual process, providing opportunity for Public Housing Residents to review and give their input to the
PHA (HAMC) concerning the agency plan.
HAMC facilitated the Annual Plan process which included:
 Formal meetings with staff and residents to discuss community accomplishments, current issues, and to solicit ideas and
solutions for their local communities as part of the Annual Plan Input process.
 Discuss HAMC services and improvements completed within the past year.
 Discuss and solicit input on progress made toward the accomplishment of previous year recommendations and actions
requested by the residents.
 An update on the RAD conversions since the last resident meetings held in September 2016.
 Solicit input on new perspectives and suggestions from resident participants on future actions and improvements desired
for their community.
Meeting Notices and Community Meeting Schedules were distributed and posted at the local public housing properties.
Although agenda content was common for all meetings, dialogue and feedback from residents was specific and distinct for each
community and individualized local input was able to be gathered and assessed. Staff who attended the meeting provided
responses and information to questions from residents. The local Property Manager served as the meeting facilitator and
recorder.
