(3) The public notice must state any limitations on who may apply for available slots in the program.
(b) Criteria defining what families may apply.
(1) The PHA may adopt criteria defining what families may apply for assistance under a public notice.
(2) If the waiting list is open, the PHA must accept applications from families for whom the list is open unless there is good cause for not accepting the application (such as denial of assistance because of action or inaction by members of the family) for the grounds stated in §§ 982.552 and 982.553.
(c) Closing waiting list. If the PHA determines that the existing waiting list contains an adequate pool for use of available program funding, the PHA may stop accepting new applications, or may accept only applications meeting criteria adopted by the PHA.
