PUBLIC NOTICE: 45-DAY COMMENT PERIOD

THIS PUBLIC NOTICE DOES NOT MEAN HDB HAS DECIDED TO TERMINATE ANYONE'S HOUSING ASSISTANCE.

The proposed amendment establishes a policy HDB would follow if termination becomes necessary because of insufficient program funding.

The 45-day comment period begins September 10, 2026-October 26, 2026.

Housing Daytona Beach (HDB) is seeking public comment on a proposed amendment to its Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Administrative Plan regarding how HDB would address the termination of assistance if insufficient federal funding makes such action necessary.

HDB's HCV Program is currently in a funding short-fall position. HDB is working with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and implementing cost-containment measures to preserve assistance for currently assisted families. Termination of assistance would be a last resort.

Under the proposed policy, certain households would be excluded from termination due to insufficient funding, including households with an elderly or disabled Head of Household and participants receiving HUD-VASH, Mainstream, Project-Based Voucher (PBV) or HCV Homeownership assistance.

If termination becomes necessary, HDB proposes to select from the remaining eligible HCV households based on length of continuous HCV participation, beginning with households that have received assistance the longest.

Families whose assistance is terminated solely because of insufficient funding would receive priority for restoration of assistance if sufficient funding later becomes available. Families would be restored in the order they were terminated, beginning with the family that has been without assistance the longest.

HOW TO COMMENT:
Members of the public may submit comments directly in the comment section of this Facebook post. Comments submitted here during the public comment period will be included as part of HDB's public comment record.

Written comments may also be submitted to Housing Daytona Beach at 211 N. Ridgewood Ave. Daytona Beach, FL 32114 or by email at [email protected].

PUBLIC HEARING:
Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 10:00 am at 211 N. Ridgewood Ave. Daytona Beach, FL 32114

The full proposed Administrative Plan amendment is available at http://dbhafl.org

HDB will consider comments during the 45-day public comment period and at the public hearing before the proposed amendment is presented to the Housing Daytona Beach Board of Commissioners for consideration.

Buying a homes is about more than finding the right house, it's also about being prepared for the responsibilities that come with homeownership.

Do I have to take first-time homebuyer education classes?

YES! HDB requires participating families to complete an approved homebuyer education course before closing on their home. From budgeting and understanding credit to maintaining your home, education is an important part of preparing for successful, sustainable homeownership.

Through the Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program, eligible HCV families can use their housing assistance toward qualifying homeownership expenses instead of rental assistance. That means your voucher may help you make the transition from renting to owning!

If you think "first time homebuyer" means you've NEVER owned a home? Think again! For the Housing Choice Voucher Homeownership Program, a first time homebuyer is generally someone who has not owned a home within the past three years. That means homeownership could still be an option, even if you owned a home in the past.

As part of our Homeownership Starts Here FAQ Series, we're breaking down the requirements one question at a time so families can better understand the path from voucher assistance to homeownership!
