Tenant Selection Plan ($249.00) per property:

Thank you for contacting us about the Tenant Selection Plan (TSP). This is a mandatory document for any property. Owners must develop and make public written tenant selection policies and procedures that include descriptions of the eligibility requirements and income limits for admission. The tenant selection plan helps to ensure that tenants are selected for occupancy in accordance with HUD requirements and established management policies. Our Tenant Selection Plan covers all of the current HUD tenant selection criteria requirements. Our Tenant Selection Plans are based on HUD's requirements and are as follows:

	Occupancy Requirements		EIV Reporting Requirements
	Project-Specific Requirements		Rental/Credit Requirements
	Application Process		Live-In Care Attendant/Aide
	Unit Transfer Process		Rental Assistance Assignment
	Implementing Homeless Admissions Preferences		Guidance for Excluding the Use of Arrest Records in Housing Decisions and Defining Disparate Impact
	Income/Asset Requirements		Violence Against Women Act (VAWA)
	Student Requirements		Disabled Accessibility
	Section 504 Requirements		Rejection Policy
	Redefining Independent Students and Vulnerable Youth		SS Number Verification Requirements (Streamlining Final Rule)
	Use of Marijuana in HUD Housing		Equal Access Rule regardless of Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity or Marital Status
	Waiting List Administration		Redefining Extremely Low Income and Tuition for Section 8 (Streamlining Final Rule)

We use this template because it's how we work with our clients at their sites; however, you are allowed to make changes to this document! I always suggest saving our original copy if you decide to make changes, you have something to fall back on. Our Tenant Selection Plan is emailed in Word format for easy editing.

Avoid a finding on your MOR by purchasing our all encompassing Tenant Selection Plan which covers the mandatory requirements for careful screening of applicants of HUD subsidized housing.

Please note: Our TSP was created using industry policies which have been issued by HUD to reduce and/or eliminate findings on your next Management and Occupancy Review. This manual does not, however, imply or guarantee that when your Contract Administrator / Asset Manager performs an actual Management and Occupancy Review, they will not have questions or apply differing interpretations of policies due to the inconsistency and countless interpretations that exist among HUD, the PBCA’s, and in the Affordable Housing Industry in general.

Variability in citations/comments is a common occurrence within the industry, and is beyond anyone’s control.  Please review this manual in it’s entirety and apply the policies included herein, into your daily operations to successfully minimize any findings you may encounter during your review.
