Submit Your Income and Family Change Online

Participants of MPHA’s Housing Choice Voucher, VASH, FUP, Project Based Voucher, and other voucher programs can now submit changes of income and family composition online. Changes submitted online will be reviewed by staff and processed when all the required information has been submitted. You will be contacted by phone or email if more information is needed.

  • All mandatory fields must be completed, and submitted within 10 business days of the change. Required documentation should be attached when available. If not available within the 10 day timeframe, they must be submitted as soon as they are available. Changes can not be processed without the backup documentation.
  • The change will not be submitted or processed if you fail to complete the mandatory steps while creating your online submission.

Note: When you click the links to fill out these forms, you will be leaving MPHA’s website for a secure, third-party site where the forms are hosted.

Effective for any changes January 1, 2024 or later
INCOME INCREASES

  • If someone in your household who doesn’t have any income gets new income, you must report it to MPHA in writing within 10 business days. This increase in income will be processed as an interim.
  • If someone in your household who does have income gets more income, you do not have to report it to MPHA until your household’s next annual recertification. Your rent portion will likely increase at your annual recertification.

INCOME DECREASES

  • For a loss of or decrease in income, the decrease in income must be at least a 10% decrease in your current total household income. MPHA will not make any interim changes to your rent portion for smaller decreases in income. Instead, the change will be made at your next annual recertification.
