Staff recommend amending Chapter 17: "Project-Based Voucher" of the Administrative Plan to add flexibility to Section 17-I.A. Overview: Units Not Subject to The PBV Program Limitation. Section 17-II.B. Owner Proposal Selection Procedures Units Selected Non-Competitively., and Section Part V: Selection of PBV Program Participants 18-V.D. Organization of The Waiting List.

Lastly, AAHC proposes to add language to clarify the use of the CoC HAWC CHP waiting list for referral of eligible families for PBV projects.
