HUD HCV Guidebook § 8
The initial and receiving PHA must104 communicate using email or other delivery confirmation methods. HUD supports email as the preferred method of communication. This requirement applies to all communications between receiving and initial PHAs referenced in this guidebook. PHAs are encouraged to establish a generic portability email, and controls for the management of such mailbox, to avoid misplacement of portability emails due to staffing changes at the PHA. An initial PHA must105 have a signed and valid HUD-9886 “Authorization for the Release of Information Privacy Act” on file before transmission of income verification information obtained through the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system. See PIH Notice 2012-4 “Effective Use of the EIV System” for more information. Also see PIH Notice 2015-6 “Privacy Protection Guidance for Third Parties” for information on requirements for transmittal of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) via email.
