24 Va. Admin. Code § 30-41-710

Current through Register Vol. 41, No. 6, November 4, 2024

Section 24VAC30-41-710 - Last resort housing disbursements

A. Rental assistance payments made to displacees who rent replacement housing under this section will be paid in annual installments directly to the displacee. However, when in the district manager's judgment, a direct payment or annual payments would not be prudent and in the public interest, other payment options will be arranged. Whenever special payment options are invoked, the file will be documented with the reasons for invoking these options.

B. Displacees may not be required to accept last resort housing in place of a rent supplement or a purchase supplement for which they may be eligible under normal program provisions. A displacee may choose to accept a conventional purchase or rental supplement in lieu of a last resort housing solution. This is conditioned that all eligibility criteria are met, including rental or purchase and occupancy of a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling.

C. Displacees who receive a housing or financial payment under last resort housing will be required to certify that they accept the housing or benefit in lieu of the rent supplement or purchase supplement for which they would otherwise be eligible.
