HUD HCV Guidebook § 5.3

The receiving PHA must61 promptly notify the initial PHA if the family’s voucher expires before the family
submits a Request for Tenancy Approval. If the initial PHA’s voucher has already expired when the family
arrives at the receiving PHA, the receiving PHA must62 contact the initial PHA to determine whether it will
extend the voucher term. If the initial PHA extends the voucher, the receiving PHA processes the ported family
and the receiving PHA’s voucher expiration date will be based on the initial PHA’s extended deadline (see
Section 5.6 for an example of this policy).
An informal hearing is not required63 when a voucher has expired without the family leasing a unit. In
determining whether to grant an extension of the voucher term, PHAs must64 follow their own policies as
addressed in their HCV administrative plan.
