I’d like to assume they identify an application as duplicate using the household members. As a lot of people currently live in a roommate situation, addresses will be the same
Even if the address is the same, Household Composition would not be....if only using address, it's silly and should be amended.
I agree and we should not be discarded by an algorithm because we have the same address. I would hope that the algorithm pulls out the possible duplicates, and then they are examined by a professional. But who am I kidding?
Heard back from HPD - very helpful. Of course, they gave me the section of the Marketing Handbook that I missed - lol.
Page 27 under Ineligibility Policies...
2.Multiple applications
a. A “multiple application” is defined as the appearance of any single person across two or more applications for any given project, where the applications differ in the number or composition of household members present.
b. In the case that multiple applications are received for any single person, all applications for that applicant must be found ineligible.
3.Duplicate applications
a. A “duplicate application” is defined as the appearance of any single person across two or more applications for any given project, where the same household members are present and all other information is the same.
b. Upon receipt of duplicate applications, the Marketing Agent will not find the applicant ineligible, but will consider only the application with the highest log number (lowest chance of being selected).
So my oldest child and I should be ok as we are 'different' single persons and neither of us shows up in the other's applications.
This was a response to an email, so I didn't have the chance to ask about algorithms, data processing, filters, etc.
