HUD said, "Specifically, HUD found that the housing authority assigned qualified elderly families with disabilities 100 prefer- ence points, while equally qualified non- elderly families with disabilities were assigned 80 points. HUD further determined that the housing authority, in July 2011, implemented a similar point system that gave elderly families with disabilities 20 points; elderly families 10 points; and non-elderly families with dis- abilities 10 points." e effect, according to the government agency, was that both systems placed appli- cant families with elderly disabled members on the waiting list in front of families with non-elderly disabled members who had ap- plied years earlier. Under the terms of the agreement, the EHA will eliminate the point system and reorder its waiting list based on a first-come, first-served basis. Furthermore, the EHA agreed to outreach activities for underserved populations, comply with HUD oversight, and provide fair housing training for its employees. "Federal law requires that properties designated as mixed housing serve individu- als with disabilities equally, regardless of age," said Dave Ziaya, HUD's acting assistant sec- retary for fair housing and equal opportunity. "is agreement will help ensure that persons with disabilities will have access to housing opportunities at Englewood."
