When issuing a voucher to a family that includes an individual with disabilities, SAHA will <br />include a current list of available accessible units known to SAHA and will assist the family in <br />locating an available accessible unit, if necessary. <br />In general, owners must permit the family to make reasonable modifications to the unit. <br />However, the owner is not required to pay for the modification and may require that the unit be <br />restored to its original state at the family's expense when the family moves. <br />2-ILH. DENIAL OR TERMINATION OF ASSISTANCE <br />SAHA's decision to deny or terminate the assistance of a family that includes a person with <br />disabilities is subject to consideration of reasonable accommodation [24 CFR 982.552 (2)(iv)]. <br />When applicants with disabilities are denied assistance, the notice of denial must inform them of <br />SAHA's informal review process and their right to request a hearing. In addition, the notice must <br />inform applicants with disabilities of their right to request reasonable accommodations to <br />participate in the informal hearing process. <br />When a participant family's assistance is terminated, the notice of termination must inform them <br />of SAHA's informal hearing process and their right to request a hearing and reasonable <br />accommodation. <br />When reviewing reasonable accommodation requests, SAHA must consider whether any <br />mitigating circumstances can be verified to explain and overcome the problem that led to <br />SAHA's decision to deny or terminate assistance. If a reasonable accommodation will allow the <br />family to meet the requirements, SAHA must make the accommodation. <br />iii29i2oio Page 2-8 <br />
