PART I: THE APPLICATION PROCESS <br />4-I.A. OVERVIEW <br />This part describes SAHA policies for making applications available, accepting applications <br />making preliminary determinations of eligibility, and the placement of applicants on the Waiting <br />List. This part also describes SAHA's obligation to ensure the accessibility of the application <br />process to elderly persons, people with disabilities, and people with limited English proficiency <br />(LEP). <br />4-I.B. APPLYING FOR ASSISTANCE [HCV GB, pp. 4-11— 4-16, Notice PIH 2O09-36] <br />Any family that wishes to receive HCV assistance must apply for admission to the program. <br />HUD permits SAHA to determine the format and content of HCV applications, as well how such <br />applications will be made available to interested families and how applications will be accepted <br />by SAHA. SAHA must include Form HUD-92006, Supplement to Application for Federally <br />Assisted Housing, as part of SAHA's application. <br />SAHA Polic <br />During application intake SAHA will initially require families to provide only the <br />information needed to make an initial assessment of the family's eligibility, and to <br />determine the family's placement on the Waiting List. The family will be required to <br />provide all of the information necessary to establish family eligibility and level of <br />assistance at the eligibility interview. <br />During application intake, applications will only be available online. Staff will be <br />available to assist with online applications after receiving a request for reasonable <br />accommodation. <br />Completed applications must be submitted online. Applications must be completed in <br />order to be accepted by SAHA for processing. Incomplete or duplicate applications will <br />be rejected without further notification. <br />4-I.C. ACCESSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATION PROCESS <br />Elderly and Disabled Populations [24 CFR 8 and HCV GB, pp. 4-11— 4-131 <br />SAHA must take steps to ensure that the application process is accessible to those people who <br />might have difficulty complying with the normal, standard SAHA application process. This <br />could include people with disabilities, certain elderly individuals, as well as persons with limited <br />English proficiency (LEP). SAHA must provide reasonable accommodation to the needs of <br />individuals with disabilities. The application -taking facility and the application process must be <br />fully accessible, or SAHA must provide an alternate approach that provides full access to the <br />application process. Chapter 2 provides a full discussion of SAHA's policies related to providing <br />reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. <br />Page 4-2 Administrative Plan 4/i/168/6/2024 <br />
