PIH Notice 2010-51: Over Subsidization in the Housing Choice Voucher Program (December 30, 2010) -- On September 28, 2007, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a report on over subsidization in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program due to the issuance of vouchers with unit sizes greater than the number of family members in the household. Pursuant to the recommendation of the OIG, the Department issued clarifying guidance on the matter of categorization of live-in aides, other reasonable accommodation issues and corresponding data entry into the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC) through the Notices cited above. The purpose of this Notice is to extend and revise Notice PIH 2009-22 (HA). Specifically, section 2.C has been added to explain subsidy standards in regard to live- in aides and their PHA-approved family member/s and section 3 has been revised to explain data entry in PIC for family members of live- in aides.
