SAHA will terminate a family's assistance if: The family has failed to comply with any family obligations under the program. See Exhibit 12-1 for a listing of family obligations and related SAHA policies. Any family member has been evicted from federally-assisted housing in the last five years. Any PHA has ever terminated assistance under the program for any member of the family. Any family member has committed fraud, bribery, or any other corrupt or criminal act in connection with any federal housing program. The family currently owes rent or other amounts to any PHA in connection with the HCV, Certificate, Moderate Rehabilitation or public housing programs. The family has not reimbursed SAHA for amounts SAHA paid to an owner under a HAP contract for rent, damages to the unit, or other amounts owed by the family under the lease. The family has breached the terms of a repayment agreement entered into with SAHA. A family member has engaged in or threatened violent or abusive behavior toward SAHA personnel. Abusive or violent behavior towards SAHA personnel includes verbal as well as physical abuse or violence. Use of racial epithets, or other language, written or oral, that is customarily used to intimidate may be considered abusive or violent behavior. Threatening refers to oral or written threats or physical gestures that communicate intent to abuse or commit violence. In making its decision to terminate assistance, SAHA will consider alternatives as described in Section 12-ILC and other factors described in Section 12-ILD. Upon consideration of such alternatives and factors, SAHA may, on a case-by-case basis, choose not to terminate assistance. Family Absence from the Unit [24 CFR 982.312] The family may be absent from the unit for brief periods. SAHA must establish a policy on how long the family may be absent from the assisted unit. However, the family may not be absent from the unit for a period of more than 180 consecutive calendar days for any reason. Absence in this context means that no member of the family is residing in the unit. If the family is planning on being absent from the unit in excess of 15 days, the family must notify SAHA. If the family is absent from the unit for more than 30 days for medical reasons, the family must provide written verification from a physician or other licensed health care provider. If the family is absent from the unit for more than 180 consecutive calendar days, the family's assistance will be terminated. Notice of termination will be sent in accordance with Section 12-II.E. iii29iio Page 12-5
