What families learn
Clear, friendly guidance on the full HCV journey.
Program overview: the roles of the family, the housing agency and the property owner
Choosing where to live, how to choose a unit, and what to ask property owners
Lease-up steps: the Request for Tenancy Approval (RFTA), inspections, payments and standards
After move-in: recertifications, rent changes and portability
Fair housing, requesting accommodations, Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) protections, and how to file a complaint
The video now shows families how to use AffordableHousing.com map layers, such as Where Kids Grow Up to Earn More, to search in higher-opportunity neighborhoods. This supports your agency’s work on SEMAP Indicator 7. Download the Map Layers Briefing flyer (PDF).
Briefings are mandatory. This one does the work for you.
HUD requires housing agencies to brief every family entering the HCV program. Producing your own video, or relying on printouts, is slow, costly and inconsistent.
