HUD HCV Guidebook § 10.2
If HUD has established alternative program requirements for SPVs, initial and receiving PHAs must115
administer SPVs in accordance with such requirements. HUD cannot alter portability requirements for SPVs
unless the program regulations provide special authority or specifically state how portability is handled for that
program.
Currently, only the HUD-VASH program has alternative portability requirements, which may be found in Section
G of the Federal Register Notice Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers: Revised Implementation of the HUD-VA
Supportive Housing Program. See the Special Purpose Vouchers chapter for more information about the HUD-
VASH program.
The following programs have specific portability provisions that account for the nuances specific to the
program. However, general portability provisions apply to these programs.
