4-19 Updating Waiting List Information

A. The owner should update the waiting lists annually or semi-annually to ensure that applicant information is current and that any names that should no longer be on the list are removed.

B. If the household composition changes, the owner must update the waiting list information and decide whether the household needs the same or a different unit size. The owner’s written policy will determine if the family maintains the original application date or if the place on the waiting list is based on the date of the new determination of family composition.

C. The owner must establish occupancy standards as part of the property’s tenant selection plan and consistently apply those standards in assigning unit size to applicants. (See paragraph 3-23 for more information about occupancy standards.)
