Housing Choice Voucher

On August 1, HUD posted new FAQs on the EHV website which provide guidance on the termination of vouchers and shortfalls, covered in PIH Notice 2023-14.

Today, HUD announced policy changes to the VASH program aimed at improving access to housing opportunities for veterans with service-connected disability benefits. HUD is expanding access to HUD-VASH by requiring PHAs to set initial income eligibility for veterans at 80% of AMI, rather than 50% of AMI.  

From the Charlotte Observer:

A Charlotte-based reentry organization renewed a contract with Inlivian on July 3 to support families recognized by a federal law that ensures children lacking stable housing receive an education.

The Freedom Fighting Missionaries board of directors allocates the vouchers to families with children currently recognized by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. Inlivian is a nonprofit formerly known as the Charlotte Housing Authority.

HUD has announced $1.5 million in Housing Mobility-Related Services Planning awards to 25 PHAs across 14 states, with seven of CLPHA’s members earning funding. These funds enable PHAs to implement programs in their communities that help families using Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) find housing in better-resourced opportunity neighborhoods.
