~ The effect on the community of the termination, or of the owner's failure to terminate the tenancy; ~ The extent of participation by the leaseholder in the offending action; ~ The effect of termination of tenancy on household members not involved in the offending activity; ~ The demand for assisted housing by families who will adhere to lease responsibilities; ~ The extent to which the leaseholder has shown personal responsibility and taken all reasonable steps to prevent or mitigate the offending action; ~ The effect of the owner's action on the integrity of the program. The owner may require a family to exclude a household member in order to continue to reside in the assisted unit, where that household member has participated in or been culpable for action or failure to act that warrants termination. In determining whether to terminate tenancy for illegal use of drugs or alcohol abuse by a household member who is no longer engaged in such behavior, the owner may consider whether such household member is participating in or has successfully completed a supervised drug or alcohol rehabilitation program, or has otherwise been rehabilitated successfully (42 U.S.C. 13661). For this purpose, the owner may require the tenant to submit evidence of the household member's current participation in, or successful completion of, a supervised drug or alcohol rehabilitation program or evidence of otherwise having been rehabilitated successfully. The owner's termination of tenancy actions must be consistent with the fair housing and equal opportunity provisions in 24 CFR 5.105. An owner's decision to terminate tenancy for incidents related to domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking is limited by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2005 (VAWA). (See Section 12-ILE.) 12-III.E. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF TENANCY ON THE FAMILY'S ASSISTANCE If a termination is not due to a serious or repeated violation of the lease, and if SAHA has no other grounds for termination of assistance, SAHA may issue a new voucher so that the family can move with continued assistance (see Chapter 10).
