These Rules and Regulations are intended to be read in pari materia with the Tax Code.

Applications shall be received by the Corporation in accordance with the Plan.
C. Rules Relating to Non-Profit Housing Sponsors. The Corporation will reserve the amount of Tax Credits required by the Tax Code for exclusive use by Non-Profit Housing Sponsors (the "Special Reserve").

F. Right of Corporation to Withdraw Reservation. The Corporation may, at its sole option and discretion, reduce the amount of Tax Credits reserved for any Housing Sponsor or withdraw the entire amount of Tax Credits so reserved if:

2. it appears to the Corporation that the Development or any portion thereof for which Tax Credits have been reserved will not to be acquired, constructed and/or rehabilitated in a time period adequate to meet the time periods under the Tax Code; or

In the event that a Housing Sponsor does not request its entire allocation of reserved Tax Credits or is deemed by the Corporation not to be entitled to any or all of its reserved Tax Credits, the Corporation may set aside or allocate, as applicable, such unallocated Tax Credits to other qualified Housing Sponsors in other manner as the Corporation deems appropriate.
B. Request for Additional Tax Credits. Prior to the allocation of Tax Credits, a Housing Sponsor may request a reservation of additional Tax Credits. Any request for additional Tax Credits shall include such revised eligibility determinations, calculations, opinions, certifications and documentation as the Corporation shall require in order to determine that the Housing Sponsor will be entitled to such additional Tax Credits in accordance with the provisions of these Rules and Regulations.

Dear __:
I am writing to inform you that, based on the information you have provided us, you appear to be categorically eligible for admission to (Name of Section   8) as a "very low income" applicant. This means that you meet the income and family composition requirements for admission.
Unfortunately, there are no appropriate sized apartments available at the present time. Therefore, we have placed you on the ___ bedroom "very low income" waiting list. You are currently number ___ on this waiting list. You probably will not be admitted before (ENTER DATE), and there is no guarantee that there will be an opening for you by that date. Until then, you may keep track of your progress by consulting the waiting list which is publicly posted in our office.
Your eligibility for admission to (Name of Section   8) depends upon your meeting all the admission requirements at the time an apartment is available. These include income limits and family composition requirements, as well as other requirements such as satisfactory rent paying history or satisfactory recommendations from prior landlords. These factors may be considered before you are assigned an apartment.
Please remember that it is your responsibility to keep us informed at all times of your current address. We cannot inform you of an available apartment if we are unable to get in touch with you. In addition, we will periodically attempt to contact you to determine if you remain interested in admission to this project. If we are unable to contact you, your name will be removed from the waiting list. If you move from your current address, please contact us immediately.
Finally, please keep us informed of any changes in your family size. Changes in family size may require that you be assigned to a different waiting list.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
