Introduction

The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program ("HCVP") is HUD's largest national affordable housing program, serving more than 1.8 million families, and with a budget authority currently more than $13 billion annually. Housing Choice Vouchers are administered in all 50 states by more than 2600 Housing Authorities, non-profits, and governmental agencies.

The goal of this Handbook is to simplify Section 8 management, and save time for the busy Section 8 Administrator and Affordable Housing Professional. This Handbook's Comprehensive Index includes about 6,300 entries, and over 120,000 references, organizing access to the main sources of regulatory and management control of Section 8 HCVP Programs:

�         Statutory and Federal Regulations, most notably 24 CFR 5 & 24 CFR 982,

�         HUD Forms,

�         HUD-7420.10G Guidebook,

�         PIH Notices, and

�         Administrative Plans for local agency rules and procedures.

All of these sources of regulation and management decisions are indexed.

The primary regulations, 24 CFR 5, 24 CFR 35 & 24 CFR 982 (about 170 pages), are reprinted in the front portion of this Handbook, a few pages after this Introduction. The main HUD occupancy forms used by Section 8 Administrators (about 230 pages), PIH Notices (about 520 pages), and the HUD-7420.10G Guidebook (about 450) pages, are available for free from HUDCLIPS. All are completely indexed in this Handbook together with a typical Section 8 Admin Plan (about 140 pages), based on the Admin Plan used by the Housing Authority of New Orleans - for a total of about 1,500 pages indexed.

In this Comprehensive Index, the total number of times a word or phrase appears is on the first line of each index entry. Then the index references are listed individually for each regulatory source shown above.

The author welcomes suggestions and input to improve this Handbook, and for future Handbooks. For example, new words to add to the index, additional or changed forms, new regulations, or any other thoughts and suggestions the reader may have.
