KEY POINTS FOR AGENCIES ON THE NOMINATION PROCESS
Nominations must be received by SHA by the last working day of the month preceding the
drawing. Drawings will take place during the first week of every month; notification letters
will be mailed within 5 working days of the drawing.
One nomination per family per month will be accepted; Please ask clients if they have been
nominated by other agencies, if so please do not fill out another nomination form as it will be
thrown out.
Nomination forms should be completed by the case manager together with the client for full,
accurate information.
It is important that the client meets all eligibility criteria. Once a name is drawn, if the client
fails to meet the eligibility criteria SHA DOES NOT DRAW A REPLACEMENT NAME.
By submitting a nomination, the agency agrees to provide assistance the client may require
to successfully complete the process (e.g. appointment reminders, help obtaining
verifications, etc.).
Drawing results, eligibility packets, and appointment letters will be mailed to the nominating
case manager; once you have received correspondence from SHA, please be sure to contact
your client.
Nominations not drawn may be resubmitted the next month, providing that
o You are still working with the nominee; and
o You write your name and date submitted on the top of the nomination form.
Employees of Salem Housing Authority may not submit nominations as it may be considered
a conflict of interest.
If you are not sure if a client meets the criteria as set forth, please contact Phil S Dean,
Section 8 Manager at
pdean@cityofsalem.net
I have read and agree with the nomination criteria and certify that to the best of my
knowledge the nominee meets these criteria.
