HUD HCV Guidebook § 3.2

The PHA accepts VA referrals and determines whether the veteran meets HUD’s requirements for the
program.

The PHA also administers the veteran’s voucher and is responsible for:
   • Explaining all the rules of the program to all of the families who qualify;
   • Issuing a voucher to eligible veterans;
   • Approving the unit, the owner, and the tenancy;
   • Making housing assistance payments to the owner in a timely manner;
   • Ensuring that both the family and the unit continue to qualify under the program; and
   • Ensuring that owners and families comply with the HCV program rules.
