Housing Choice Voucher Administrative Plan

The Administrative Plan is a supporting document to the MSHDA Public Housing Authority (PHA) Plan and is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The purpose of the Administrative Plan is to establish policies for carrying out the programs of the Housing Choice Voucher program in a manner consistent with HUD requirements and to carry out the goals and objectives contained in the MSHDA PHA Plan.

The Administrative Plan is reviewed annually by MSHDA staff and appropriate updates made to reflect changes in regulations, MSHDA operations, or when needed to ensure staff consistency in operations.
