Sec.  982.206  Waiting list: Opening and closing; public notice.



    (a) Public notice. (1) When the PHA opens a waiting list, the PHA 

must give public notice that families may apply for tenant-based 

assistance. The public notice must state where and when to apply.

    (2) The PHA must give the public notice by publication in a local 

newspaper of general circulation, and also by minority media and other 

suitable means. The notice must comply with HUD fair housing 

requirements.

    (3) The public notice must state any limitations on who may apply 

for available slots in the program.

    (b) Criteria defining what families may apply. (1) The PHA may adopt 

criteria defining what families may apply for assistance under a public 

notice.

    (2) If the waiting list is open, the PHA must accept applications 

from families for whom the list is open unless there is good cause for 

not accepting the application (such as denial of assistance because of 

action or inaction by members of the family) for the grounds stated in 

Sec. Sec.  982.552 and 982.553.

    (c) Closing waiting list. If the PHA determines that the existing 

waiting list contains an adequate pool for use of available program 

funding, the PHA may stop accepting new applications, or may accept only 

applications meeting criteria adopted by the PHA.
