Dear Landlord:
Fort Worth Housing Solutions (FWHS) is requesting that all
participating Housing
Choice Voucher (HCV) landlords delay their proposed rent
increases for 2019 due to a potential FWHS funding shortfall. If you are unable
to delay the increase, we ask that you consider requesting a lower increase
than you would have normally requested.
FWHS is hopeful that in the year to come, the 2019 increases
that were delayed or reduced can be effective in 2020. If you wish to delay or
reduce an increase that you have already sent to us, or are willing to delay a
future 2019 increase, contact Brianna Vodicka at bvodicka@fwhs.org. In the email
please include the tenant names, unit addresses, and the amount of rent
increases you are delaying or reducing.
Thank you for your consideration of our request. We
appreciate all that you do to help house low-income families in our community.
Regards,
Selarstean Mitchell
Vice-President of Assisted Housing

Upcoming Changes
UPCS-V Changes from 2.0 to 2.5 has updated the following:
Unvented heaters will no longer be permitted in any units participating in the program.
Caron Monoxide Detectors will need to be installed by the owner for any property with an attached car garage, even if the units is total electric.
GFCI Receptacle will need to be in place within six (6) feet of a water source.
FWHS will make this effective in 2019
Rent Increase Request
In order to streamline the rent increase process for landlords and clients, FWHS does not require a new lease and will no longer require a client signature on the rent increase form. A rent increase form may be downloaded from our website here. Landlords may request a rent increase within 60 days of the clients anniversary date each year, which may be found in the partner portal.
After receiving the documentation and approving the rent increase, FWHS will notify both parties of the rent change with a Rent Change Notice with the Effective Date, Total Contract Rent, Total Resident Rent, Housing Assistance Payment and Utility Reimbursement, if applicable. If the rent increase is not approved, a denial notice will be sent to the landlord and client.
Landlord Advisory Committee
Are you an interested landlord, to be a part of our landlord advisory committee? FWHS’ landlord advisory committee helps us distribute new policies and procedures to all landlords on our program, gives us feedback and suggestions on upcoming changes. Having you being a part of our team helps us understand the landlord perspective of all changes and concerns. If you would like to sign up please contact RaVonda Thompson at rthompson@fwhs.org. We hope you join us.
