What is one restriction the PHA can enforce on the number of moves a family can make after the first year of lease?

The correct answer reflects the policies enforced by Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) regarding the Housing Choice Voucher program. After the first year of a family's lease, the PHA has the authority to impose restrictions on the number of moves a family can make. This is intended to ensure program integrity and manage funding effectively, as frequent moves can complicate the administration of the voucher program.

Limiting the number of moves helps to stabilize families in their housing situations and reduces administrative burdens on the PHA, allowing them to allocate resources more efficiently. By having guidelines on how often families can relocate, the PHA can help prevent misuse of the voucher system and encourage tenants to uphold their lease agreements for longer periods, contributing to more stable communities.

The other options suggest varying degrees of control not typically exercised by PHAs regarding moves. Timing restrictions might be in place, but they are more related to the lease agreement rather than a move limit. Enforcing no limits on moves contradicts the program’s objectives of stability and oversight. Dictating specific locations for the family to move is also outside typical PHA practices, as families generally have the right to choose where to live, as long as the new unit meets the program requirements.
