A PHA may merge the waiting list for tenant-based assistance with the PHA waiting list for admission to another assisted housing program, including a federal or local program. In admission from the merged waiting list, admission for each federal program is subject to federal regulations and requirements for the particular program.

(i)If the PHA's waiting list for tenant-based assistance is open when an applicant is placed on the waiting list for the PHA's public housing program, project-based voucher program (including any owner-maintained waiting list), or moderate rehabilitation program, the PHA must offer to place the applicant on its waiting list for tenant-based assistance.
(ii)If the PHA's waiting list for its public housing program, project-based voucher program (including any owner-maintained waiting list), or moderate rehabilitationis open when an applicant is placed on the waiting list for its tenant-based program, and if the other program includes units suitable for the applicant, the PHA must offer to place the applicant on its waiting list for the other program.
(b)Other housing assistance: Effect of application for, receipt or refusal.
(1)For purposes of this section, "other housing subsidy" means a housing subsidy other than assistance under the voucher program. Housing subsidy includes subsidy assistance under a federal housing program (including public housing), a State housing program, or a local housing program.
