9. Beneficiaries:
Describe procedures used to determine income eligibility ofproject/program participarrts.
FHF obtains total household income and total number of persons in the household from each
client receiving direct client services. This information is a required field and entered into
our Case Management Database. FHF updates the annual HUD income standards in the
back end of the database annually. The front end of the database has the required fields of
county, household size, and household income. Once completed, the income level is
automatically calculated and reflected accordingly.
For direct client services of General Housing (Landlord/Tenant), this information, is simply
maintained and taken as factual. For every client that FHF opens a bonafide fair housing
case, a narrative of the income information provided by the client is included in the
Complaint Narrative. The Complaint Narrative is a declaration of the alleged
discrimination as well as the income information provided. The client is required to review
and sign the Complaint Narrative as complete and accurate. If required, FHF will request
and provide supporting documents.
Provide the proposed nuJnber of households that the project/progr•am will serve from July 1, 2020
through June 30, 2021
