Removal of a Family Member's Name from the Application [24 CFR 982.552(c)(2)(ii)] <br />HUD permits PHAs to impose as a condition of admission, a requirement that family members <br />who participated in or were culpable for an action or failure to act which results in the denial of <br />assistance, to not reside in the unit. <br />As a condition of receiving assistance, a family may agree to remove the culpable family <br />member from the application. In such instances, the head of household must certify that the <br />family member will not be permitted to visit or to stay as a guest in the assisted unit. <br />After admission to the program, the family must present evidence of the former family member's <br />current address upon SAHA's request. <br />Reasonable Accommodation [24 CFR 982.552(c)(2)(iv)] <br />If the family includes a person with disabilities, SAHA's decision concerning denial of <br />admission is subject to consideration of reasonable accommodation in accordance with 24 CFR <br />Part 8. <br />If the family indicates that the behavior of a family member with a disability is the reason for the <br />proposed denial of assistance, SAHA will determine whether the behavior is related to the <br />disability. If so, upon the family's request, SAHA will determine whether alternative measures <br />are appropriate as a reasonable accommodation. SAHA will only consider accommodations that <br />can reasonably be expected to address the behavior that is the basis of the proposed denial of <br />assistance. See Chapter 2 for a discussion of reasonable accommodation. <br />3-III.F. NOTICE OF ELIGIBILITY OR DENIAL <br />If the family is eligible for assistance, SAHA will notify the family when it extends the invitation <br />to attend the voucher briefing appointment, as discussed in Chapter 5. <br />If SAHA determines that a family is not eligible for the program for any reason, the family must <br />be notified promptly. The notice must describe: (1) the reasons for which assistance has been <br />denied, (2) the family's right to an informal review, and (3) the process for obtaining the <br />informal review [24 CFR 982.554 (a)]. See Chapter 16, for informal review policies and <br />procedures. <br />The family will be notified of a decision to deny assistance in writing within 14 days of the <br />determination. <br />If SAHA uses a criminal record or sex offender registration information obtained under 24 CFR <br />5, Subpart J, as the basis of a denial, a copy of the record must precede the notice to deny, with <br />an opportunity for the applicant to dispute the accuracy and relevance of the information before <br />SAHA can move to deny the application. In addition, a copy of the record must be provided to <br />the subject of the record [24 CFR 5.903(f) and 5.905(d)]. SAHA must give the family an <br />opportunity to dispute the accuracy and relevance of that record, in the informal review process <br />in accordance with program requirements [24 CFR 982.553(d)]. <br />If based on a criminal record or sex offender registration information, an applicant family <br />appears to be ineligible SAHA will notify the family in writing of the proposed denial and <br />provide a copy of the record to the applicant and to the subject of the record. The family will be <br />given 14 days to dispute the accuracy and relevance of the information. If the family does not <br />iii29i2oio Page 3-22 <br />
