Are restrictions placed on where program participants may seek housing?

Each Housing Authority works within a certain geographic location. Program participants are restricted to finding housing within the geographic location that is serviced by a particular Housing Authority. In addition, the neighborhood must be one that is not subject to dangerous steps, walks, flooding, instability, septic tank backups, poor drainage, mud slides, sewage hazards, smoke or dust, abnormal air pollution, vermin infestations, excessive accumulation of trash or fire hazards.
