§ 882.310 - PHA administration of shared housing.

(a) PHA election. A PHA is not required to permit use of Shared Housing in its Section 8 Certificate program. If the PHA decides to permit Shared Housing, it may elect to permit use of Individual Lease Shared Housing or Related Lease Shared Housing, or both. At any time, a PHA may change a decision to include Shared Housing in its program, or change the type(s) of Shared Housing included in its program. However, the PHA must continue to administer, in accordance with applicable requirements, any Shared Housing Contracts that it has executed.

(b) Administrative plan. (1) If the PHA decides to permit Shared Housing in its program, or to change or discontinue Shared Housing, it must submit an amendment to its administrative plan for HUD approval.

(2) The administrative plan must state the type(s) of Shared Housing included in the PHA's program and the PHA's policies for operating Shared Housing. The plan may contain policies providing for special treatment in the issuance and use of Certificates to facilitate, in the case of Related Lease Shared Housing, the initial pairing of Families for assistance or the replacement of a Shared Family that has left the unit (see § 882.335(a)). The plan may not contain policies providing for special treatment in the issuance and use of Certificates in Individual Lease Shared Housing. Except for restrictions on the initial use of Certificates in the case of Related Lease Shared Housing (see § 882.335(a)(2)(i), the plan may not set aside Certificates for, or otherwise restrict the use of Certificates to, Shared Housing.
