We are required to verify income information and income changes for ALL residents in Public Housing / HCV Program. However, during this COVID-19 / Coronavirus pandemic, we are able to provide TEMPORARY self-certification.

All adult household members must certify their change of income during this crisis.

However, this is TEMPORARY, and must also RE-CERTIFY in the normal manner once the crisis has passed, and business returns to normal.

WARNING: The information provided on this form is subject to verification by HUD at any time, and Title 18, Section 1001 of the U.S. Code states that a person is guilty of a felony and assistance can be terminated for knowingly and willingly making a false or fraudulent statement to a department of the United States Government.

The program is governed by a waiting list and preference. Qualified applicants are notified at the time of unit availability. It is GHA’s responsibility to provide safe, decent, sanitary, and affordable housing, and to maintain the property in accordance to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) housing quality standards.
