(b) If the PHA answered yes for any element,describe the revisions for each element(s):
The administrative plan has been revised to reflect current CFRs,Public&Indian Housing Notices,Federal Register Notices,and HOTMA
regulations&policies.
The Housing Department is plans to request a limited number of vouchers from HUD to implement the Foster Youth to Independence Program.
The administrative plan has been updated to reflect the FYI regulations.
Foster Youth Independence(FYI)Preference:
As FYI assistance terminates for FYI youth after 36 months,an FYI preference has been added to the list of the Housing Divisions preferences.
The Housing Division will give preference to FYI youth whose 36-month FYI voucher is expiring,and as a result of the voucher expiration,will
lack adequate housing.To be eligible for this voucher,the FYI Youth must be referred by the Texas Department of Family Protective Services
(DFPS).The referral must indicate that without continued voucher assistance,the FYI Youth will lack adequate housing.Receipt of this preference
is not a guarantee of uninterrupted voucher assistance,as issuance of vouchers is dependent on funding availability.In order to attempt to reduce the
period of possible interruptions in service the FYI preference will be weighted higher than the currently held Housing Division Preferences of
Working 90 Days or More,Elderly(62 years of age and older),and Disabled.
The following discretionary NSPIRE related policies have been made:
Non-Life Threatening Deficiency Option—The Housing Division has not elected to apply this option.

flashlight;Outlet tester to test the proper wiring of electrical outlets;Means to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors;Temperature device for

reliability and quality,but 4G or better cellular data service supports video streaming.The device must be equipped with a high camera resolution
(megapixels,sensors,and pixel size)in order to show details such as paint chips or broken glass.2.The proxy will be informed that the remote
video inspection will be recorded and saved as a part of the unit inspection file.
24 CFR 982.54 require PHA's to adopt policies for specific situations and include these policies in the Administrative Plan.The following
policies have been added:
Insufficient Funding: Should the Housing Division be projected to be in risk of shortfall the Housing Division will 1)suspend the issuance of
vouchers from the waiting list 2)Deny elective moves to higher cost areas.The Housing Division will inform the family of its policy regarding
moves denied due to insufficient funding in a letter to the family at the time the move is denied.When funds become available,the families on this
list will take precedence over families on the waiting list.The Housing Division will notify families with open requests to move in writing when
funds become available.3)Voucher Suspensions:A)Waiting List Voucher Suspensions-The Housing Division will notify in writing all Voucher
holders who were recently issued Vouchers and have not executed a HAP Contract that due to insufficient funding from HUD,the Housing
Division cannot execute a HAP Contract at this time. These families'Voucher's will be suspended,until funds become available. After funds have
become available,the families will be notified in writing that they may continue their search for housing. If a period of 60 days has elapsed,each
family will need to be recertified to determine if they're still eligible for the program. B)Voucher Move Suspensions:The Housing Division will
next notify all current non-elderly and non-disabled household participants that are attempting to move to a new location,with no current HAP
Contract in effect.Voucher's will be suspended until funds become available.After funds have become available,the families will be notified in
writing that they may continue their search for housing. If a period of 60 days has elapsed,each family will need to be recertified.4)Terminations-
The Housing Division will only terminate HAP contracts due to insufficient funding if it has no other choice.Prior to starting terminations,the
Housing Division will inform the local HUD field office.The Housing Division will terminate the minimum number needed in order to reduce
HAP costs to a level within the Housing Division's annual budget authority.Terminations will be in the following order Single,non-elderly,non-
disabled individuals will be terminated first.Non-elderly,non-disabled households who are able to pay 90 to 100%of their adjusted income
towards rent would be terminated second.Non-elderly,non-disabled households who are able to pay 80 to 89%of their adjusted income towards
rent would be terminated third.Non-elderly,non-disabled households who are able to pay 70 to 79%of their adjusted income towards rent would

be applied to active tenants:For families with a current HAP contract who will be affected by a payment standard reduction,the Housing Division
will notify these families at their next annual recertification of the payment standard reduction and continue to use the payment standard that was in
effect prior to the reduction for the recertification year. Twelve months later,at the tenant's second annual recertification,the applicable payment
standard for the current year will be applied.
Violence Against Women Emergency(VAWA)Transfer Plan:In order for a tenant to request an emergency transfer under VAWA,the tenant
must notify their assigned Housing case worker and submit a written request for a transfer move to another unit.The tenant's written request for an

from further violence if the resident were to remain in the same dwelling unit assisted under the Housing Division program;OR A statement that
the resident was a sexual assault victim and that the sexual assault occurred on the premises during the 90calendarday period preceding the
tenant's request for an emergency transfer.Once the written request is received,the case worker will provide the tenant with an Emergency
Transfer Move Request form(HUD-5383).Once the Housing Division approves the Emergency Transfer Request,the tenant will be issued a
voucher which can be used to locate a new unit where the family feels safe.This unit maybe within the Housing Division's jurisdiction or if
necessary for the safety of the family,in the jurisdiction of another Housing Choice Voucher Program under portability.
HQS Request for Extensions:The Housing Division may grant an extension in cases where the owner has made a good faith effort to correct the
deficiency but is unable to do so for reasons beyond their control,such as:A repair cannot be completed because required parts or services are not
available.A repair cannot be completed because of weather conditions.A reasonable accommodation is needed because the family includes a
person with disabilities.
Project Based Voucher(PBV)units with Tenants who no longer qualify for the unit due to overcrowded,under-occupied,ADA accessible
units:Should a tenant no longer qualify for PBV a unit due to overcrowding,under-occupied,or ADA accessible unit,the PHA will offer the
family continued assistance in the form of PBV assistance in the same building or project.If a unit is not available the PHA will offer tenant-based
voucher assistance.When the PHA offers a family a tenant-based voucher,the family will be given 30 days from the date of the offer to accept the
offer and move out of the PBV unit. If the family does not move out within this 30day time frame,the PHA will terminate the housing assistance
payments at the expiration of this 30-day period.
PRY units with Tenants who no longer qualify for the unit due to Zero-HAP:Should a tenant no longer qualify for PBV a unit due to Zero-
HAP,the unit shall be removed from the HAP contract 180 days following the last housing assistance payment on behalf of the family. If the
project is fully assisted,a PHA may reinstate the unit removed under this section to the HAP contract after the ineligible family vacates the
property.If the project is partially assisted,a PHA may substitute a different unit for the unit removed under this section to the HAP contract when
the first eligible substitute becomes available.A reinstatement or substitution of units under the HAP contract must be permissible under 24 CFR
983.207.The anniversary and expirations dates of the HAP contract for the unit must be the same as it was when it was originally placed under the
HAP contract.
