HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing has published a toolkit to help community leaders encourage owners and managers of HUD-assisted private multifamily housing to develop and implement admission preferences for homeless individuals and families.
Opening Doors Through Multifamily Housing: Toolkit for Implementing a Homeless Preference offers a step-by-step framework, drawing on the experiences of ten communities participating in a 2012 HUD pilot program. Preferences for homeless individuals and families was officially allowed in July 2013 when the Office of Multifamily Housing issued Notice H 2013-21 (see Memo, 8/2/13).
