• Victims of Domestic Violence: BHA will offer a Domestic Violence preference to families or individuals that have been subjected to or victimized by a member of the family or household within the past six (6) months. BHA will require evidence that the family has been displaced as a result of fleeing violence in the home. Families are also eligible for this preference if there is proof that the family is currently living in a situation where they are being subjected to or victimized by violence in the home. Applicants meeting these criteria will receive two (2) preference points.
• Working: Applicants working thirty-five (35) hours or more per week at the existing Federal Minimum Wage will receive two (2) preference points.

• Disability: A family which has a disabled individual in the household will receive one (1) preference point. Proof of disability will be required in order to receive the preference point. Because the BHA gives preference point(s) for working families, the BHA must also give the benefit of that preference to elderly or disabled applicant families that meet the following guidelines: -
  • Applicant families whose head and spouse, or sole member, are elderly or disabled will receive two (2) additional preference points because the BHA gives preference point(s) for working families.
• Homeless: This preference is available for families that qualify as homeless under HUD’s definition of homeless. In order to qualify for the homeless priority, applicants must be a resident of Monroe County or the surrounding counties of Owen, Greene, Lawrence, Brown, and Morgan. The BHA also will require a “Verification of Homelessness” form to be completed by a public shelter, social service agency or police department official. Applicants that qualify for the homeless preference will receive one (1) preference point.

Selected applicants were placed on the waiting list by date and time the application is received, weighed by order of preferences.
