§ 887.501 - Applicability, scope, and purpose.

In shared housing, an assisted family shares a housing unit (such as a house or an apartment) with the other resident or residents of the unit. The authorization for use of shared housing in the Housing Voucher Program is designed to provide additional choices in living arrangements for assisted families. The PHA has discretion to determine whether to include shared housing in its Housing Voucher Program and to design the shared housing component to meet local needs and circumstances.
