Annual renewal package
As a NCHC tenant, you are required to complete an Annual Eligibility Review form once every 12 months.
You also need to have all assets verified by your bank, trust company, credit union or other financial institution. Please print off copies of the Verification of Assets form to provide to your financial institution.
Internal transfer requests
There are instances when tenants need to transfer to larger or smaller units or to another location. Internal transfers are mainly due to health reasons or changes in family size. Sometimes internal transfer is needed for a tenant who has been a victim of abuse in the home. In this case, there are additional forms to complete.
You may contact your Housing Services caseworker to discuss your reason(s) for a transfer request.
