New Owner Portal

The Housing Authority of DeKalb County (HADC), Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is excited to announce the implementation of its Owner Portal. The portal will allow our property owners/managing agents to access information relating to their properties currently under contract with HADC. Owners can access payment ledgers, link to inspection information, and program documents.  The portal is available any time, day or night, and is updated routinely to ensure current information is displayed. To access the portal and register now, CLICK HERE.

Coming Soon

The HADC will begin implementing biennial (every 24 month) inspections, beginning in the Fall of 2014, with the exception of VASH participants.  

The HADC will be using a staggered format to determine what units we will inspect this year and what units we will inspect next year. All participants and owners will continue to receive inspection notices by mail if an inspection is to be completed for the unit.

The HADC will still perform initial inspections prior to executing a HAP contract and on an interim basis when requested by a participating family or government official. 

Federal Laws Everyone Should Know
VAWA (Violence Against Women Act)

The Violence Against Women Act states, in part, that criminal activity directly relating to domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, engaged in by a member of a client's household or any guest or other person under the client's control, shall not be cause for termination of assistance, tenancy, or occupancy rights if the client or an immediate member of the client's family is the victim or threatened victim of that abuse. The law also provides that an incident or incidents of actual or threatened domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking will not be construed as serious or repeated violations of the lease by the victim or threatened victim of that violence and will not be "good cause" for termination of the assistance, tenancy, or occupancy rights of a victim of such violence.

The Federal Fair Housing Act

The Federal Fair Housing Act protects seven classes from discrimination in housing, including: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability and familial status. The Fair Housing Act also requires housing providers to make reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities. A reasonable accommodation is a change in rules, policies, practices, or services so that a person with a disability will have an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling unit or common space. A housing provider should do everything they can to assist, but they are not required to make changes that would fundamentally alter the program or create an undue financial and administrative burden. Reasonable accommodations may be necessary at all stages of the leasing process, including application, tenancy, or to prevent eviction.
