08-/78
Comment: On April 1, 2008, City Council adopted the Iowa City Housing
Authority's Admissions and Occupancy Policy (ACOP) for public housing
and the Section 8 Administrative Plan for the voucher program. In both
public housing and the Section 8 voucher program, assistance can be
denied or terminated if a family member engages in violent criminal
activity. Federal law prohibits denying or terminating assistance to the
victims of domestic violence, although the perpetrator can be denied or
terminated. This exception for domestic violence was listed in the
sections on denial and termination in the Section 8 Administrative Plan
but was only listed in the denial section in ACOP. This resolution amends
ACOP to add the domestic violence exception to the eviction section to
correct this oversight.
