Cal. Civ. Code § 0770-01-05-.10
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS.
Operative Text
All applicants must meet HUD’s, as well as the THDA’s, criteria for eligibility determinations. The eligibility of the applicant is not verified until the applicant household is selected from the waiting list. 24 C.F.R. 982.201 outlines that only eligible families may be admitted to the HCV Program. The THDA applies the requisite eligibility factors of Family Composition (see 0770-01-05-.11), Income Limits (see 0770-01-05-.12), Citizenship (see 0770-01-05- .13), Social Security Number Provision (see 0770-01-05-.14), Student Status (see 0770-01-05-.15), and Other Eligibility Criteria (see 0770-01-05-.16) in determining an applicant or participant’s eligibility for the HCV Program. Authority: T.C.A. §§ 13-23-104 and 13-23-115(18), 42 U.S.C. § 1437, and 24 C.F.R., Part 982 Administrative History: Original rule filed May 16, 1980; effective June 30, 1980. Repeal and new rule filed September 28, 2004; effective December 12, 2004. Repeal and new rule filed June 4, 2015; effective September 2, 2015.
Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0770-01-05 § 0770-01-05-.10 establishes that applicants to Tennessee's Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program must satisfy eligibility criteria set by both the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA). Eligibility is not formally confirmed until an applicant household is actually selected from the waiting list. The rule identifies six specific eligibility factors — family composition, income limits, citizenship, social security number requirements, student status, and other criteria — each addressed in its own subsection.

Under § 0770-01-05-.10, landlords participating in or considering the HCV Program should be aware that prospective tenants using vouchers have already been screened against both HUD and THDA eligibility standards before their voucher is issued. Compliant operators generally understand that a voucher holder's eligibility was verified at the point of selection from the waiting list, not at the time of application to the waiting list. Familiarity with the six eligibility factors outlined in this provision can help property owners better understand the background of HCV participants they may work with.

Section 0770-01-05-.10 means that to participate in Tennessee's HCV Program, an applicant household must meet eligibility requirements set by both HUD and the THDA across six defined categories, including income limits and citizenship status. Eligibility is not officially confirmed until a household is selected from the waiting list, so being on the list does not itself guarantee a voucher. Applicants who believe their eligibility was incorrectly assessed may wish to contact the THDA directly, consult a tenant-rights organization, or review the specific subsections (§§ 0770-01-05-.11 through .16) that govern each eligibility factor.
