In all matters, any application, agreement, authorization form, or contractual obligation is subject to state and federal laws, HUD regulations and the terms of the documents signed with applicants, tenants and landlords. The answers provided here are intended only as a guide intended to cover many common questions received on a daily basis from the public. Please consult a HAMC case worker or manager for more information. If an official position is required on any case (contract, tenant, landlord, applicant), it will be determined based upon the history and situation of that specific case according to policy stipulated in the HAMC Operations Manual approved by the Board of Commissioners.
