Once again… the information in the FAQ sections is deemed to be reliable, but in
many cases it may vary because of specific factors not considered here. In all matters,
any application, agreement, authorization form, or contractual obligation is subject

with applicants, tenants and landlords. The answers provided here are intended only
as a guide intended to cover many common questions received on a daily basis from
the public. Please consult a HAMC case worker or manager for more information. If
an official position is required on any case (contract, tenant, landlord, applicant),
it will be determined based upon the history and situation of that specific case
according to policy stipulated in the HAMC Operations Manual approved by the Board
of Commissioners.
