A Housing Specialist shall not absorb families into the Program unless the Director of the HCVP or his or her designee directs or approves the absorption of the families.
When DCHA is absorbing on an ongoing basis, an incoming portable Family is considered to be absorbed to into the Program once DCHA executes the HAP contract on behalf of the Family, versus at the time of voucher issuance.
A portable Family may also be absorbed by terminating billing arrangement with the initial PHA. DCHA shall give thirty (30) days' advance notice to the initial PHA of the intent to absorb and the effective date of the absorption of the Family.
