Objection to Guidance Document as Drafted
 

How can we come to an agreemnt where ALL potential residents "Source of funds" is equal for screening purposes? Unfortunately, HB6 does not defend ALL lawful sources of funds, protected under the VA definition. This is an unlawful discriminitory practice toward anyone that's not an HCV holder.

If an HCV holder can be qualified based on the rent they owe and a conventional applicant cannot, how is that equitable housing?

I cannot support a guidance document that advocates the groundwork for any discriminitory method based on "Source of Funds," and neither should anyone.
