(C) State how a person with a disability may request
a reasonable accommodation in relation to such notice; and
(D) Include information on the appeals process if one
is used by the Development (this is required under some LURAs, for
HOME Developments that are owned by Community Housing Development
Organizations, and for 811 PRA units).
(h) At the time of application Owners must provide
each adult in the household the TDHCA form based on HUD form 5380
"Notice of Occupancy Rights under the Violence Against Women Act"
and the HUD form 5382 "Certification of Domestic Violence, Dating
Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking and Alternate Documentation."
To avoid providing applicants and residents with duplicate information,
TDHCA administered Developments layered with other federal funds are
permitted to amend the TDHCA VAWA forms to incorporate requirements
of other funders. However, none of the information included in the
TDHCA created form may be omitted.
(i) Policies and procedures will be reviewed periodically
by the Department's Fair Housing staff, as a result of complaints,
or through an owner initiated written policies and procedures review.
Owners may request a review of the written policies and procedures
for a portfolio of Developments by submitting a request to fair.housing@tdhca.state.tx.us.
After review by the Department, an Owner may make non-substantive
changes to the policies.
(j) Development Owners must allow applicants to submit
applications via mail and at the Development site or leasing office;
if the Development is electronically equipped, the Development may
also allow applications to be submitted via email, website form, or
fax. The Development's tenant selection criteria must state available
alternate means of submission and include address, email, or other
necessary contact information on the form or its attached leasing
criteria.
