Can a PHA apply for vouchers to cover the over-leasing it has already assumed, or must re-allocated vouchers go to new program participants?
A WtW PHA may apply for additional vouchers to support/absorb over-leasing that has already occurred in its WtW program. In fact, a PHA that is over-leased in its WtW voucher program must first use any reallocated WtW vouchers that it receives to correct over-leasing. Once the PHA’s WtW leasing rate has been normalized, any remaining reallocated WtW vouchers that the PHA receives may be used to bring new families onto the program.
