such an accommodation, SAHA will approve an allowance for air-conditioning, even if SAHA <br />has determined that an allowance for air-conditioning generally is not needed. <br />The family must request the higher allowance and provide SAHA with an explanation of the <br />need for the reasonable accommodation and information about the amount of additional <br />allowance required [HCV GB, p. 18-8]. <br />Utility Allowance Revisions <br />At reexamination, SAHA must use SAHA current utility allowance schedule [24 CFR <br />982.517(d)(2)]. Revised utility allowances will be applied to a family's rent and subsidy <br />calculations at the first annual reexamination that is effective after the allowance is adopted. <br />6-IILE. PRORATED ASSISTANCE FOR MIXED FAMILIES [24 CFR 5.520] <br />HUD regulations prohibit assistance to ineligible family members. A mixed family is one that <br />includes at least one U.S. citizen or eligible immigrant and any number of ineligible family <br />members. SAHA must prorate the assistance provided to a mixed family. SAHA will first <br />determine assistance as if all family members were eligible and then prorate the assistance based <br />upon the percentage of family members that actually are eligible. For example, if SAHA subsidy <br />for a family is calculated at $500 and two of four family members are ineligible, SAHA subsidy <br />would be reduced to $250. <br />6-III.F. QUALITY CONTROL (24 CFR 985.2) <br />Designated SAHA supervisory personnel will conduct Quality Control reviews of tenant files to <br />include verification and computation of income, family composition, and determination of tenant <br />portion of rent. Number of reviews will, at a minimum, conform to HUD requirements. <br />ii/29/io Page 6-37 <br />
