April 1st:
Section 8 property owners who have signed up for direct deposit and whose
account information has been verified by the bank will see electronic transfer
of housing assistance payments starting
April 1, 2008. Owners can receive an e-mail with confirmation of the transfer,
however, spam blockers may reject this e-mail, therefore, owners need to add directdeposit@hacsc.org

email in their address book.

not yet signed up for direct deposit service may print and submit the

11-09-07 New Unit Listing
website:
Earlier this year, the Housing
Authority began utilizing a new service to conduct its rent comparable surveys.
The service, called GoSection8, also provides a unit listing database for
Section 8 owners and tenants. Effective November 1, 2007, owners who have
available units should go to the new website to register and list properties.
The current unit listing system will no longer be used after November 20, 2007.

11-7-06 Change in scheduling re-check inspections:
In order to comply with HUD
regulations (24 CFR 982.404), we have shortened our timeline for
conducting certain Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections of
Section 8 units. If a unit fails the annual HQS inspection, all repairs
must be completed within 20 calendar days from the inspection date. A
re-inspection appointment will be automatically scheduled with the
tenant approximately 25 calendar days from the date of the first
inspection in order to verify that the repairs have been completed.
HUD regulations also require that
HQS violations identified as “life-threatening” must be corrected within
24 hours of the inspection.
