Admissions & Continued Occupancy Policy
Revisions
Applying for Assistance
Any family that wishes to reside in public housing must apply for admission to the program [24 CFR 1.4(b)(2)(ii), 24
CFR 960.202(a)(2)(iv), and PH Occ GB, p. 68]. HUD permits the PHA to determine the format and content of its
applications, as well how such applications will be made available to interested families and how applications will be
accepted by the PHA. In order to provide more accessibility to applicants to the program, the BCHA made the
following revision to the ACAP:
Depending upon the length of time between the date of application and the availability of housing, the PHA
may use a one- or two-step application process.
A one-step process will be used when it is expected that a family will be selected from the waiting list within
60 days of the date of application. At application, the family must provide all of the information necessary to
establish family eligibility and the amount of rent the family will pay.
A two-step process will be used when it is expected that a family will not be selected from the waiting list
for at least 60 days from the date of application. Under the two-step application process, the PHA initially
will require families to provide only the information needed to make an initial assessment of the family’s
eligibility, and to determine the family’s placement on the waiting list. The family will be required to provide
all of the information necessary to establish family eligibility and the amount of rent the family will pay when
selected from the waiting list.
Families may obtain application forms from the PHA’s office during normal business hours, request by
telephone or email that an application be mailed via first class mail, or by visiting www.bcacha.org to
download or complete the application
Completed applications must be returned to the PHA by mail, electronically, by fax, or submitted in person
during normal business hours. Applications filled out online at www.bcacha.org
will be submitted
automatically upon completion. Applications must be filled out completely in order to be accepted by the
PHA for processing. If an application is incomplete, the PHA will notify the family of the additional
information required.
Attachment A
Boise City Housing Authority
Admissions & Continued Occupancy Policy
Deconcentration Policy
Deconcentration of Poverty and Income-Mixing [24 CFR 903.1 and 903.2]
The PHA's admission policy must be designed to provide for deconcentration of poverty and income-mixing by
bringing higher income tenants into lower income projects and lower income tenants into higher income projects. A
statement of the PHA’s deconcentration policies must be in included in its annual plan [24 CFR 903.7(b)].
The PHA’s deconcentration policy must comply with its obligation to meet the income targeting requirement [24 CFR
903.2(c)(5)].
Developments subject to the deconcentration requirement are referred to as ‘covered developments’ and include
general occupancy (family) public housing developments. The following developments are not subject to
deconcentration and income mixing requirements: developments operated by a PHA with fewer than 100 public
housing units; mixed population or developments designated specifically for elderly or disabled families;
developments operated by a PHA with only one general occupancy development; developments approved for
demolition or for conversion to tenant-based public housing; and developments approved for a mixed-finance plan
using HOPE VI or public housing funds [24 CFR 903.2(b)].
Steps for Implementation [24 CFR 903.2(c)(1)]
To implement the statutory requirement to deconcentrate poverty and provide for income mixing in covered
developments, the PHA must comply with the following steps:
Step 1. The PHA must determine the average income of all families residing in all the PHA's covered developments.
The PHA may use the median income, instead of average income, provided that the PHA includes a written
explanation in its annual plan justifying the use of median income.
BCACHA Policy
The BCACHA will determine the average income of all families in all covered developments on an annual
basis.
Step 2. The PHA must determine the average income (or median income, if median income was used in Step 1) of all
families residing in each covered development. In determining average income for each development, the PHA has
the option of adjusting its income analysis for unit size in accordance with procedures prescribed by HUD.
BCACHA Policy
The BCACHA will determine the average income of all families residing in each covered development (not
adjusting for unit size) on an annual basis.
Step 3. The PHA must then determine whether each of its covered developments falls above, within, or below the
established income range (EIR), which is from 85% to 115% of the average family income determined in Step 1.
However, the upper limit must never be less than the income at which a family would be defined as an extremely low-
income family (federal poverty level or 30 percent of median income, whichever number is higher).
Step 4. The PHA with covered developments having average incomes outside the EIR must then determine whether
or not these developments are consistent with its local goals and annual plan.
Step 5. Where the income profile for a covered development is not explained or justified in the annual plan submission,
the PHA must include in its admission policy its specific policy to provide for deconcentration of poverty and income
mixing.
Depending on local circumstances the PHA’s deconcentration policy may include, but is not limited to the
following:
Providing incentives to encourage families to accept units in developments where their income level is
needed, including rent incentives, affirmative marketing plans, or added amenities
Targeting investment and capital improvements toward developments with an average income below the EIR
to encourage families with incomes above the EIR to accept units in those developments
Establishing a preference for admission of working families in developments below the EIR
Skipping a family on the waiting list to reach another family in an effort to further the goals of
deconcentration
Attachment B
Providing other strategies permitted by statute and determined by the PHA in consultation with the residents
and the community through the annual plan process to be responsive to local needs and PHA strategic
objectives
A family has the sole discretion whether to accept an offer of a unit made under the PHA's deconcentration policy.
The PHA must not take any adverse action toward any eligible family for choosing not to accept an offer of a unit
under the PHA's deconcentration policy [24 CFR 903.2(c)(4)].
If, at annual review, the average incomes at all general occupancy developments are within the EIR, the PHA will be
considered to be in compliance with the deconcentration requirement and no further action is required.
BCACHA Policy
For developments outside the EIR the BCACHA will take the following actions to provide for
deconcentration of poverty and income mixing:
The BCACHA has no developments outside the EIR.
Order of Selection [24 CFR 960.206(e)]
The PHA system of preferences may select families either according to the date and time of application or by a random
selection process.
BCACHA Policy
Families will be selected from the waiting list based on preference. Among applicants with the same
preference, families will be selected on a first-come, first-served basis according to the date and time their
complete application is received by the BCACHA. When selecting applicants from the waiting list, the
BCACHA will match the characteristics of the available unit (unit size, accessibility features, unit type) to
the applicants on the waiting lists. The BCACHA will offer the unit to the highest ranking applicant who
qualifies for that unit size or type, or that requires the accessibility features. By matching unit and family
characteristics, it is possible that families who are lower on the waiting list may receive an offer of housing
ahead of families with an earlier date and time of application or higher preference status. Factors such as
deconcentration or income mixing and income targeting will also be considered in accordance with HUD
requirements and BCACHA policy.
12-IV.E. DECONCENTRATION
BCACHA Policy
If subject to deconcentration requirements, the BCACHA will consider its deconcentration goals when
transfer units are offered. When feasible, families above the Established Income Range will be offered a unit
in a development that is below the Established Income Range, and vice versa, to achieve the BCACHA’s
deconcentration goals. A deconcentration offer will be considered a “bonus” offer; that is, if a resident refuses
a deconcentration offer, the resident will receive one additional transfer offer.

Boise City Housing Authority
Progress Report
The PHA continues to provide quality housing that is affordable to the low, very low, and extremely low-income households.
Strategies pursued by the PHA as outlined in the 5 year PHA plan continue to be successful and allows the authority to meet our
Mission to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunities, and a suitable living environment free from
discrimination.
Goal #1: Expand the Supply of Assisted Housing
HUD awarded BCHA 41 Emergency Housing Vouchers in July 2021. These vouchers will be used to provide housing
and supportive services for an individual or family who are homeless, at risk of homelessness; fleeing or attempting to
flee domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking or human trafficking, and recently homeless and for
whom providing rental assistance will prevent the familys homelessness or having high risk of housing instability
(Households who are currently in a Transitional or Rapid Re-Housing Program who are in need of longer term assistance).
BCHA launched a Landlord Incentive Program aimed at increasing affordable housing options for voucher holders. The
program resulted in housing an additional 89 households within 6 months. Staff also conducted outreach to local landlords
to develop and enhance relationships in order to increase the number of participating landlords. BCHA attended local
property management meetings to promote the program to existing property management companies and local owners.
BCHA initiated a Landlord Advisory Council and hosted meetings with a group of participating landlords on various
program topics related to landlord participation in rental assistance programs administered by BCHA.
Goal #2: Improve the Quality of Assisted Housing
BCHA Low Rent Public Housing program has maintained a HUD “High Performer” status under the Public Housing
Management Assessment (PHAS) score;
BCHA’s non-HUD financed/supported housing have maintained affordable rents for both low income households that
have rental assistance, and those without assistance.
Installed threshold risers for accessibility to balconies at both Capitol Plaza and Franklin Plaza.
Sealed the exterior brick at both Capitol Plaza and Franklin Plaza.
Goal #3: Operate at a High Level of Efficiency
In the past year, and during COVID-19, BCHA has developed effective ways to communicate and provide customer
service. These systems and technologies include laptops and phone systems to allow staff to safely work with clients
during the pandemic. Video and audio systems have been installed to facilitate online meetings with residents, the public,
and board members.
BCHA continues to explore software systems and technologies that will better serve our needs and goals of providing
better customer service and program functionality and performance. Over the last year, multiple software companies have
conducted demos for BCHA, which has allowed staff to identify options and opportunities to improve workflow and
customer service.
BCHA staff is in the process of meeting with HUD Technical Assistance providers to determine whether or not the Rental
Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program would be beneficial to the agency and residents.
BCHA has sustained staff performance and satisfaction by providing the following trainings: Fair Housing, HCV Rent
Calculations, Motivational Interviewing, Service Coordinator Assessments, Fire Preparedness, Urban Land-Mixing
Incomes, Front Desk Security, Operating Fund, RAD Toolkit, FMLA Compliance, Cultural Awareness, UPCS and CFP.
BCHA has access to weekly Nelrod trainings. Staff are able to take advantage of any weekly course that applies to their
work, or interests.
Goal #4: Promote Self-Sufficiency and Asset Development of Assisted Households
BCHA actively marketed the Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program to existing voucher holders through quarterly
newsletters, attending the annual recertification meetings for voucher holders to explain the programs, and regular
outreach. BCHA served a total of 130 families over the last year, 19 of them being new enrollments.
The FSS program provided quarterly workshops for all participants that included topics such as debt reduction, job search
and training, budgeting, and homeownership;
BCHA successfully graduated 3 families from the FSS program after working with them to increase their earned income.
The average amount of escrow that was disbursed to graduates was $6,880.
Out of the 130 families that were served, 42% have escrow balances that were accrued by increasing their earned income.
FSS Coordinators connected families to partnering agencies in order to improve families’ employability. Partnering
agencies include Dress for Success, Idaho Department of Labor, Small Business Administration, Deseret Industries,
Disability Rights of Idaho, and Create Common Good.
Goal #5: Promote Homeownership Opportunities
BCHA referred 6 families who were interested in homeownership to first-time homebuyer workshops covering the
following topics: benefits of and preparation for homeownership, credit analysis, FICO scoring methodology, mortgage
Attachment C
types and requirements, private mortgage insurance, loan to value ratio, down payment assistance programs, escrow and
title process, property taxes, home maintenance and homeowner responsibilities.
BCHA actively promoted the Homeownership program to all existing voucher holders through quarterly newsletters and
by attending weekly voucher briefings meetings for new households.
Goal #6: Ensure Equal Opportunity and Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
BCHA was able to improve the availability of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) resources for applicants and
participants, by expanding our comprehensive list of interpreters, translators, and Language Line capabilities. BCHA
also utilized additional HUD pamphlets, flyers, and posters in varying languages.
Training of employees is an essential element to ensure compliance to regulations, consistency in the provision of
services, and improvement in the quality of program management. All employees participated in webinars or in-person
training including:
Fair Housing and Reasonable Accommodation
FMLA Compliance
LEP Plan Requirements and Processes
Preventing Fraud in Housing: Effective Interviewing for Program Integrity
Homeless Management and Information Services
Voluntary Services for Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Dating Violence
