What document establishes local PHA policies for administering the HCV program?

The document that establishes local Public Housing Authority (PHA) policies for administering the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program is the Administrative Plan. This plan outlines the PHA's policies and procedures for managing the HCV program, including details on eligibility, payment standards, inspections, and participant responsibilities. It serves as a critical framework that ensures the program is administered consistently, effectively, and in accordance with both federal guidelines and local needs. The Administrative Plan must be updated regularly to reflect any changes in regulations or local policies, making it a living document that guides the PHA's operations.

Other documents like the Operational Guidelines, Policy Framework, and PHA Management Plan may contain important information regarding the broader operational parameters of the PHA but are not specifically dedicated to the HCV program’s policies as the Administrative Plan is.
