  • (1) serve areas having the highest numbers of homeless veterans, and
  • (2) have fully utilized their available HUD-VASH funds for the preceding fiscal year and have demonstrated need for such incremental assistance

HUD shall:

  • (1) recapture from a PHA certain unused HUD-VASH assistance, and
  • (2) reallocate recaptured amounts to PHAs that have used their entire allocations of HUD-VASH assistance.
