Section 14-9807. AYBL SELECTION PREFERENCES AND LOTTERY
-
9807.1 In order to reoccupy an AYBL Rewards Property, units will be offered first to those AYBL eligible returning families based on the appropriate bedroom size. If there are more returning eligible AYBL applicant families than available units, these families will be placed at the top of the Site-based Transfer Waiting List according to bedroom size and date of initial occupancy at that property.
9807.2 DCHA at its sole discretion may designate other Public Housing developments in the area surrounding a Rewards Property in which the current residents receive priority consideration for participation in the AYBL program. Eligible residents at the designated surrounding public housing properties will be given priority after returning residents for placement at Rewards Properties.
9807.3 Residents at DCHA designated properties in the area surrounding the Rewards Property will be placed on the requested Reward Property Site-based Transfer Waiting list based on bedroom size and the results of a lottery. If there are more returning eligible AYBL applicant families than available units, residents at DCHA designated properties in the area surrounding the Rewards Property will be placed on the Site-based Transfer Waiting List after any AYBL eligible returning families of the Rewards Property. If there are too many eligible families from DCHA designated properties in the surrounding area to place at the Rewards Property and not enough appropriate bedroom sized units or slots on the Site-based Transfer Waiting List, DCHA will conduct a lottery to determine placement of the eligible families from the designated surrounding properties on the transfer waiting list pursuant to this section.
9807.4If DCHA is unable to fill the AYBL units with families residing in conventional public housing or in a mixed financed unit subsidized by an Annual Contributions Contract, at its sole discretion, DCHA shall pull from the selection pool of applicants who have been deemed eligible for admission and who are waiting placement at a public housing property.
9807.5 After the returning ABYL families and residents at DCHA designated properties in the area surrounding the Rewards Property have been put on the Site-based Transfer Waiting list, and there is a need for additional families to occupy units at a Rewards Property, DCHA will conduct a lottery as defined in this section for all other AYBL eligible residents.
9807.6 Only those AYBL applicant families that have been determined eligible for the AYBL program will be placed in a lottery pool to be selected for an AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting list pursuant to this section.
9807.7 Applicants are assigned a number at the time they are determined eligible. Once the eligibility determination process is complete, DCHA will conduct a public lottery overseen by a third party to determine which applicants will be selected for placement on an AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting Lists according to bedroom size and property requested.
9807.8 The size of AYBL Site-Based Transfer Waiting Lists will be based upon DCHA's projected vacancy rates at each AYBL Rewards Property. The size of AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting Lists will be determined by DCHA, at its sole discretion, based on projected vacancies.
9807.9 Once the required number of AYBL eligible families is selected from the lottery pool to meet projected vacancies for an AYBL Rewards Property, the families will be placed on the AYBL Site-Based Transfer Waiting List based on the order the families were selected from the lottery pool.
9807.10 Once the AYBL Families are placed on an AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting List, that Site-Based Transfer Waiting list will be closed.
9807.11 Once a AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting List is closed, those AYBL Families who were in the lottery pool, but were not selected to be placed on a AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting List, will be able to re-apply when DCHA determines to reopen the list.
9807.12 When there is not a sufficient number of eligible AYBL Families on an AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting List to meet vacant unit projections for that property, the AYBL Site-based Transfer Waiting List will be opened and applications will be requested in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
