Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-01-05-.04 - BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE PROGRAM
(1) HUD pays rental
subsidies through the HCV Program so that decent, safe, and sanitary housing is
affordable for eligible families. HUD provides housing assistance funds and
administration funds to public housing agencies (PHAs), state or local
government entities like the THDA, which generally administer the
program.
(2) Families select and
rent suitable units subject to the PHA's approval of the unit and tenancy, the
unit meeting program housing quality standards (HQS), and the reasonableness of
the rent.
(3) A unit may be located
anywhere in the United States, in the jurisdiction of a PHA that runs a voucher
program.
(4) Upon the PHA's
approval of the unit and tenancy, the PHA enters into a housing assistance
payment (HAP) contract with the owner of the unit to make rental subsidy
payments on the family's behalf. The amount of the subsidy is determined by a
formula.
(5) If the family moves
out of the leased unit, the HAP contract between the PHA and owner terminates.
However, the family may receive continued assistance and move to another unit
if the family is in compliance with the requirements of the program.
(6) Housing Choice Voucher Program Process.
