A. Overview

By law, only U.S. citizens and eligible noncitizens may benefit from federal rental assistance. Compliance with these rules ensures that only eligible families receive subsidy. These requirements apply to families making application to the property, families on the waiting list, and tenants. This paragraph describes the procedures owners must use to determine applicant eligibility based on citizenship/immigration status.

NOTE: See Chapters 4, 7, and 8 for other citizenship and eligible immigration status requirements. (Denial of assistance is addressed in paragraph 4-31, changes in subsidy are addressed in paragraph 7-11, and termination of assistance is addressed in paragraph 8-7.)
