The WDHR application shall be available on the OHCS website.
 
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (2) above, OHCS may consider the referral of a household from a local, state, or federal disaster relief agency or human service agency to determine eligibility of the household for WDHR services.
 
(4) The household must apply for WDHR services within 180 days after the loss or damage of housing due to wildfire.
