Please click here (pdf) for HUD's regulations concerning portability of one's voucher. (Fair warning: it's quite detailed and rather technical in nature. Your Housing Coordinator is very familiar with all of it and can help answer any questions you may have.)
Once you have been approved to move (Portable Out) you will be required to sign a Voluntary Portability release form allowing us to send your paperwork to the proper Housing Authority. If moving to another area is in your plans, you should contact the Housing Authority in that area to inquire how long you will have to wait before they can assist you in your new unit. It is possible you may have to pay the full rent for up to one month. Once you have this information, please contact your Housing Coordinator for more information, as this process may take up to 30 days.
