D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 14, r. 14-6102
Upon receipt of a completed application, DCHA shall place the Applicant on the selected waiting list(s) based on the date and time that the application was received, the type and unit size required based on occupancy guidelines and applicable Special Programs and/or allocations, and any preference(s) established by DCHA.
Each Applicant shall be assigned a unique Client Identification Number (CIN) for identification purposes.
Placement on DCHA's waiting list(s) does not guarantee the family admission to public housing, RAD, the Housing Choice Voucher Program, or the Moderate Rehabilitation Program.
Periodically, as vacancies occur or are anticipated at DCHA owned and operated public housing projects or at RAD Covered Projects, or as Housing Choice Vouchers become available or units become available in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program, Applicants near the top of the applicable waiting list(s) shall be interviewed in order to obtain and verify any and all information necessary to make an eligibility determination in accordance with Sections 6106, 6107, 6108, and 6109.
Public housing and Moderate Rehabilitation Applicants who have been deemed eligible shall be placed in the selection pool.
DCHA shall review the application for any current debt owed to any public housing authority, Project Owner, or Housing Choice Voucher programs via the HUD Enterprise Income Verification system "EIV" or any other income or debt verification source.

If the current debt is unresolved at the time of the eligibility determination the Applicant may be deemed ineligible.
The Applicant shall be allowed to submit mitigating circumstances to demonstrate an Applicant's suitability to receive housing assistance.
Applicants in the public housing selection pool shall be offered housing units that meet their occupancy and accessibility needs as the appropriately sized units become available.
Eligible Applicants for the Housing Choice Voucher Program are offered a voucher as vouchers become available pursuant to Chapter 76.
