HUD HCV Guidebook § 5.4

After receiving the form HUD-52665 and supporting documentation from the initial PHA, the receiving PHA
must65 promptly issue a voucher to the family for its search in the receiving PHA’s jurisdiction. HUD expects
the receiving PHA to process the family’s paperwork and issue the family a voucher within two weeks of
receiving the HUD-52665 and supporting documentation provided the information is in order, the family has
contacted the receiving PHA, and the family complies with the receiving PHA’s procedures. The size of the
voucher (that is the number of bedrooms or unit size for the family) is determined by the receiving PHA in
accordance with its own subsidy standards.66
The term of the receiving PHA’s voucher may not expire before 30 calendar days from the expiration date of
the initial PHA’s voucher. For example, if the initial PHA’s voucher expires 10/30/2019, the receiving PHA’s
voucher may not expire before 11/29/2019.

If the initial PHA extends the term of its voucher, the receiving PHA’s voucher may not expire before 30 days
from the new expiration date of the initial PHA’s voucher. For example, if in the example in the preceding
paragraph the initial PHA extends the voucher until 11/30/2019 the receiving PHA voucher may not expire
before 12/30/2019. Receiving PHAs may extend the voucher beyond these additional 30 days.
The receiving PHA may delay issuance of the voucher or approval of the unit if the family refuses to comply
with the receiving PHA’s procedures. In any case where the receiving PHA is refusing to process or provide
assistance under the portability procedures, the family must 67 be given the opportunity for an informal review
or hearing.
