What is HUDs application process like?
The application process is very competitive. Not all local housing authorities will receive welfare-to-work housing vouchers under this program. The deadline for housing authorities to apply to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is April 28, 1999. A housing authority’s application must be coordinated with other welfare reform and welfare-to-work incentives within the community. The NOFA (HUD’s Notice of Funding Availability) gives housing authorities wide discretion in designing their programs to ensure that these vouchers are used when needed to help people make the transition from welfare to work.
