(2) Date and time of receipt of
application.
(b)
Applicants shall be provided with a briefing packet containing all required

about to expire. The request for extension shall be in writing and be received
by the corporation or postmarked no later than the last day of the voucher
term. The extension request shall include an explanation for the request and a
progress report on efforts made to locate a suitable unit.

the corporation or postmarked no later than the last day of the voucher term.
The extension request shall include an explanation for the request and a
