HUD HCV Guidebook § 7
If the receiving PHA has absorbed the family, the family is no longer considered a ported family. The initial PHA
is no longer involved with the family’s subsidy. There is no billing and no communication on other details of
the family’s occupancy between the initial and receiving PHAs. If the receiving PHA decides to administer the
subsidy for the initial PHA, both PHAs will have certain responsibilities to the ported family. These
responsibilities and associated deadlines are described in greater detail in this section.
In many cases billing difficulties result from miscommunication between agencies. HUD encourages PHAs to
work cooperatively to resolve billing difficulties, so that any potential hardship on participants or unnecessary
administrative burden is avoided.
