SUBJECT: Revision to Section 8 Administrative Plan
DATE: April 18, 1996
Based on the information presented at the Section 8 Preference Hearing conducted on
April 16, 1996, it is recommended that the Waiting List Preference Provision of the Section 8
Administrative Plan be revised.
Revised Section V- Waiting List and Program Preferences to read as follows:
A. Priority Status. As indicated in Section c(1)(b), eligible applicants on the waiting list will be
offered a certificate or voucher on a first-come, first-serve basis, based on the following
policy:
1. Residents of our jurisdiction shall receive local preference in the issuance of Vouchers
or Certificates. Applicants who are working or have been notified that they are hired
to work within our jurisdiction shall be considered as meeting the residency criteria.
Residency shall be based on any length of time; however, the applicant must meet the
residency criteria at the time of issuance of the Voucher or Certificate in order to be
considered for this preference. Applicants who are homeless in Weld County will be
construed as meeting the residency requirement. Homeless is defined as an applicant
who has been certified by a service provider, who is enrolled in a Weld County
approved case management program.
2. Families in which the head or spouse has maintained employment of 20 hours per
week or more, for nine out of the past twelve months, will receive an additional
preference. Applicants who are elderly or disabled shall receive the same preference
as if they were employed.
