. Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 <br /> <br />Page 3-23 <br />3-III.B. MANDATORY DENIAL OF ASSISTANCE [24 CFR 982.553(a) and <br />24 CFR 982.552(b)(6)] <br />HUD requires the PHA to deny assistance in the following cases: <br /> Any member of the household has been evicted from federally assisted housing in the last <br />three years for drug-related criminal activity. HUD permits, but does not require, the PHA to <br />admit an otherwise-eligible family if the household member has completed a PHA-approved <br />drug rehabilitation program or the circumstances which led to eviction no longer exist (e.g., <br />the person involved in the criminal activity no longer lives in the household). <br />SAHA Policy <br />SAHA will admit an otherwise-eligible family who was evicted from federally assisted <br />housing within the past three years for drug-related criminal activity if SAHA is able to <br />verify that the household member who engaged in the criminal activity has completed a <br />supervised drug rehabilitation program approved by SAHA, or the person who committed <br />the crime is no longer living in the household. <br /> The PHA determines that any household member is currently engaged in the use of <br />illegal drugs. <br />SAHA Policy <br />Currently engaged in is defined as any use of illegal drugs during the previous three <br />months from the date a criminal background check is conducted. This policy does not <br />apply to the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program. <br /> The PHA has reasonable cause to believe that any household member’s current use or pattern <br />of use of illegal drugs, or current abuse or pattern of abuse of alcohol, may threaten the <br />health, safety, or right to peaceful enjoyment of the premises by other residents. <br />SAHA Policy <br />In determining reasonable cause, SAHA will consider all credible evidence, including but <br />not limited to, any record of convictions, arrests, or evictions of household members <br />related to the use of illegal drugs or the abuse of alcohol within no more than the last <br />three months from the date a criminal background check is conducted. A record or <br />records of arrest will not be used as the sole basis of determining reasonable cause. <br />SAHA will also consider evidence from treatment providers or community-based <br />organizations providing services to household members. <br /> Any household member has ever been convicted of drug-related criminal activity for the <br />production or manufacture of methamphetamine on the premises of federally assisted <br />housing. <br /> Any household member is subject to a lifetime registration requirement under a state sex <br />offender registration program. <br /> Any member of the family fails to sign and submit consent forms for obtaining information. <br /> The family does not meet the restrictions on net assets and real property ownership as <br />required by 24 CFR 5.618. <br />EXHIBIT 1
