Text Box: Procedure Upon notification of Home TBA Program dollars, YCAP will publicize a date and time for interested households to apply for assistance. New applicants will complete an intake and a Housing Readiness Assessment with a qualified staff person. Applicants are ranked and placed on a waiting list, based on the current fiscal year Tenant Selection Policy, which includes the Housing Readiness Assessment rating and demographic criteria (examples include: current Home TBA clients, disabled head-of-household, domestic violence victims, and house fire victims). The number of households selected for assistance depends on the amount of the funding allocation. Generally, the demand for rental assistance is far greater than the available funding. Upon determination and verification of eligibility, applicants are issued rental assistance coupons to be signed by a prospective landlord. Once a rental unit is secured, an HQS inspection of the rental unit will be conducted. If the unit passes, the landlord and client will be asked to execute a rental contract and lease. Final paperwork is forwarded on to the Oregon Housing & Community Services Department (OHCSD) who approves and releases funds for the program. This final process typically takes 30 days, therefore payments to the landlord will begin within 30 days of the execution of the contract.
