Bill H.1491

Effective April 10, 2019, DHCD launched the internet based, state-wide public housing application and centralized waitlist system known as CHAMP to the public. This system was mandated by the legislature as Section 14 of Chapter 235 of the Acts of 2014. The Eligibility and Selection Criteria regulation, 760 CMR 5.00, has been updated to incorporate CHAMP.

760 CMR 5.05 (3) Determinations of Priority, Preference, Eligibility and Qualification; (a) When an applicant approaches the top of a waiting list for an LHA program to which the applicant has applied, the LHA shall make a final determination of the applicant's priority, preference, eligibility and qualification.

Legislation that states CHAMP will revert back to local residents receiving priority over applicants that have not been screened as emergency applicants.

Applicants will no longer be able to self-certify their emergency status.
