Please note: According to the HRA, "Applications will only be accepted from people who either live or work in Rice County.  You will be required to provide proof of residency."

This PHA used a rarely utilized loophole that allows them to restrict applications only to local residents or those who work locally. HUD regulations allow for a local residency preference but that isn't a restriction. Some PHA's have utilized what some would call a loophole that allows the waiting list to be opened only to a certain preference group. The pertinent regulation is § 982.206(b)(1). That regulation is meant to allow a PHA to open its waiting list only for say seniors or disabled persons or homeless persons. However, some PHA's have begun using this regulation to restrict applicants from out of the area from even applying.

  • Resident of Rice County: Families that have permanent, sole place of residency in Rice County or have a household member that works in Rice County at the time of application.
