HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM

To verify homeless eligibility, the homeless applicant must provide one of the following:

• A referral from the shelter that the applicant is residing at; or
• If the shelter is full, a statement from each local shelter in the county verifying that the shelters are unable to accommodate the applicant; or
• If the county does not have a shelter, a statement from DHS that the applicant is homeless and there are not any shelters in that county; or
• A referral from a Continuum of Care (CoC) entity certifying that a person is living on the street and/or other places not meant for human habitation; or
• An established domestic violence victim services provider referral certifying that the individual or family is fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
  assault, stalking, and/or human trafficking.

This preference is extended to disabled persons or families with a disabled member. Proof of disability will be required at the time of placement on the waiting list.
