Recent updates approved by the HADC's Board of Commissioners for the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Administrative Plan include the following:
- A new preference to provide vouchers for Youth Aging out of Foster Care or homeless former Foster Care individuals or families.
- Added language around DeKalb County code enforcement violations or police calls to a property. If the violations via DeKalb County code enforcement are the responsibility of the property owner, we may ban the unit and/or the owner from the program if issues are persistent and/or are not addressed.
- Added the ability for HADC to provide all kinds of special housing, Single Room Occupancy, Congregate, Group Homes, Cooperative, and Shared Housing as eligible property types for the HCV program.
- Added our ability to charge for repairs that are not made for reinspections of units. At this time we do not intend to charge for repairs, but have adopted the policy in case we determine that it is needed.
