The communities targeted are based on our experience of where units are located under the regular Section 8 Certificate Program; although tenants offered vouchers will have a wider choice of housing due to the elimination of the Fair Market Rent provision under the Voucher program. The proposed distribution does not contradict past Housing Assistance Plans developed for Weld County. • •If applicable,include Handicapped Families in the Family or Large Family category and footnote number of units for the handicapped by unit size.
