4-II.F. UPDATING THE WAITING LIST [24 CFR 982.2041 <br />HUD requires SAHA to establish policies to use when removing applicant names from the <br />Waiting List. <br />Purging the Waiting List <br />The decision to withdraw an applicant family that includes a person with disabilities from the <br />Waiting List is subject to reasonable accommodation. If the applicant did not respond to a PHA <br />request for information or updates, and SAHA determines that the family did not respond <br />because of the family member's disability, SAHA must reinstate the applicant family to their <br />former position on the Waiting List [24 CFR 982.204(c)(2)]. <br />SAHA Policv <br />The Waiting List will be purged as necessary to ensure that all applicants and applicant <br />information is current and timely. To purge the Waiting List, SAHA will send an update <br />request via first class mail to each family on the Waiting List to determine whether the <br />family continues to be interested in, and to qualify for, the program. This update request <br />will be sent to the last address that SAHA has on record for the family from the family's <br />online application. The update request will provide a deadline by which the family must <br />respond and will state that failure to respond will result in the applicant's name being <br />removed from the Waiting List. <br />The family's response must be in writing and may be delivered in person, by mail, or by <br />fax. Responses should be postmarked or received by SAHA no later than the date <br />specified on the SAHA letter. <br />If the family fails to respond within the specified date on SAHA's letter, the family will <br />be removed from the Waiting List without further notice. <br />If the notice is returned by the post office with no forwarding address, the applicant will <br />be removed from the Waiting List without further notice. <br />If the notice is returned by the post office with a forwarding address and the applicant has <br />not notified SAHA of the address change, the applicant will be removed from the <br />Waiting List without further notice. <br />If a family is removed from the Waiting List within the last twelve months for failure to <br />respond, SAHA may reinstate the family if it determines the lack of response was due to <br />SAHA error, or to circumstances beyond the family's control. <br />Removal from the Waiting List <br />SAHA Policv <br />If at any time an applicant family is on the Waiting List, SAHA determines that the <br />family is not eligible for assistance (see Chapter 3), the family will be removed from the <br />Waiting List. If a family is removed from the Waiting List because SAHA has <br />determined the family is not eligible for assistance, a notice will be sent to the family's <br />address of record provided on the initial application. e-. The notice will state the reasons <br />the family was removed from the Waiting List and will inform the family how to request <br />an informal review regarding SAHA's decision (see Chapter 16) [24 CFR 982.201(f)]. <br />Page 4-7 Administrative Plan 4/i/168/6/2024 <br />
