How to “PORT IN” OR Transfer TO the Grand Rapids Housing Comminsion (GRHC) from another Public Housing Authority (PHA)
• Notify your cu rrent PHA that you wish to exercise portability and transfer your Housing Choice Voucher to the GRHC.
• Your coordinator or case manager at your current PHA must approve the transfer according to their policies and HUD regulations. Be sure to comply with your current lease requirements or you may lose your eligibility to port.
• Once your request to move is approved, your current Housing Choice Voucher coordinator will contact you regarding required procedures and paperwork. Your coordinator will fax a copy of your information to the GRHC.
• Within seven to 14 days you can contact the GRHC to confirm that we have received and processed your information.
• You will receive an invitation to a required two-hour orientation meeting that will explain GRHC policies and procedures.
• If you get married or divorced, or have any changes in your household composition or household income, you are required to report the change in writing within ten calendar days.
• During your orientation meeting you will receive a Request for Tenancy Approval (RFTA) form. When you find a unit you wish to rent, please submit the completed form to your assigned GRHC Section 8 Coordinator. Once we receive your RFTA:
* The GRHC will determine whether the unit is eligible according to U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) “rent reasonableness” and percent-of-income requirements.
* If the unit meets eligibility rules, we will conduct a HUD-required Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection.
* The rental subsidy begins either the date the unit passes the HQS inspection or the date your family takes possession of the unit, whichever is later.
* If your family moves into the unit before it passes the HQS inspection, you are responsible for 100 percent of the rent until the date the unit passes inspection.
GRAND RAPIDS HOUSING COMMISSION: https://www.grhousing.org/pdf/port-brochure.pdf
• No dual subsidy is permitted. this means that you cannot receive a subsidy under multiple programs and/or through another public housing authority (PHA).
• Money owed to any other PHA must be paid in full before you can exercise your portability option.
• Money owed to a landlord for rent or current damages must be paid in full before you can exercise your portability option. • Unless the move is an approved reasonable accommodation, every client must fulfill a 12-month lease before they can port again or move to a different unit. (An example of a reasonable accommodation would be a move to a barrier- free unit when a household member requires a wheelchair.)
• The Housing Choice Voucher has an expiration date. Please submit a valid Request for Tenancy Approval prior to the expiration date shown on your voucher. If you are eligible for an extension of the expiration date, you must request that in writing. Please contact your GRHC Section 8 Coordinator to find out whether you are eligible well before your voucher expiration date.
• Leasing from relatives is prohibited. You cannot lease a unit owned by a parent, child, grandchild, sister, brother or anyone else related to you or the members of your household. • You must occupy the unit you lease. You cannot sublease the unit. Taking possession of the unit and not using it as your residence violates the rules of the Housing Choice Voucher program.
• Fraud or misrepresentation of facts will result in penalties including but not limited to termination of your Housing Choice Voucher, repayment of funds received, program ineligibility and/or criminal prosecution.

New South China Mall (Chinese: 新华南Mall; pinyin: Xīn huá nán; Jyutping: San1 waa4 nam4) in Dongguan, China is the largest shopping mall in the world when measured in terms of gross leasable area, and second in terms of total area to The Dubai Mall (which has extensive non-shopping space including a zoo, a hotel complex and a theme park).[1] South China Mall opened in 2005 and for more than 10 years it was mostly vacant as few merchants ever signed up, leading it to be dubbed a dead mall.[2] In 2015 a CNN story reported that the mall had begun to attract tenants after extensive renovations and remodeling, though large portions still remained vacant.[3] By January 2018, after more than a decade high vacancy, most retail spaces are now filled and the mall features an IMAX-style cinema and theme park.[4]Empty walkways in the mall, February 2010

Overview
With over a total area of 892,000 square metres (9,600,000 sq ft),[5] and almost 660,000 square metres (7,100,000 sq ft) of leasable space[1] sufficient for as many as 2,350 stores,[6] the mall was built on former farmlands[7] in the Wanjiang District of Dongguan in southern coastal China. The project was spearheaded by Hu Guirong (Alex Hu[7]), who became a billionaire in the instant noodle industry.[2][8] The mall was owned by Dongguan Sanyuan Yinghui Investment & Development (东莞市三元盈晖投资发展有限公司),[5] Hu Guirong's company, but a controlling interest in the mall was later sold to Founder Group, a division of Peking University.[2]
The mall has seven zones modeled on international cities, nations and regions, including Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Venice, Egypt, the Caribbean, and California. Features include a 25-metre (82 ft) replica of the Arc de Triomphe,[5] a replica of Venice's St Mark's bell tower,[2] a 2.1-kilometre (1.3 mi) canal with gondolas,[5] and a 553-metre (1,814 ft) indoor-outdoor roller coaster.[9]
After opening in 2005, the mall suffered from a severe lack of occupants. Targeted initially to an affluent market, Dongguan is itself mainly a city of poorly paid migrant laborers who failed to respond to all the attractions the mall had to offer.[3] Much of the retail space remained empty, with over 99% of the stores still vacant in 2008.[2][10] The only occupied areas were near the entrance where several Western fast food chains are located and a parking structure re-purposed as a kart racing track.[11] A planned Shangri-La Hotel was not realised. Filmmaker Sam Green made a short film about the South China Mall called Utopia Part 3: the World's Largest Shopping Mall which premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and was broadcast on PBS's documentary series POV.
Originally called "South China Mall", the centre was redubbed as "New South China Mall, Living City" in September 2007.[12][13] The 2007 makeover was orchestrated by PKU Resources, which took over the property from the original owner Hu Guirong in Dec. 2006.[14]
