The victim must also sign the documentation. Perpetrator Documentation If the perpetrator of the abuse is a member of the applicant family, the applicant must provide additional documentation consisting of one of the following: A signed statement (1) requesting that the perpetrator be removed from the application and (2) certifying that the perpetrator will not be permitted to visit or to stay as a guest in the assisted unit Documentation that the perpetrator has successfully completed, or is successfully undergoing, rehabilitation or treatment. The documentation must be signed by an employee or agent of a domestic violence service provider or by a medical or other knowledgeable professional from whom the perpetrator has sought or is receiving assistance in addressing the abuse. The signer must attest under penalty of perjury to his or her belief that the rehabilitation was successfully completed or is progressing successfully. The victim and perpetrator must also sign or attest to the documentation. Time Frame for Submitting Documentation The applicant must submit the required documentation with her or his request for an informal review (see section 16-III.D) or must request an extension in writing at that time. If the applicant so requests, SAHA will grant an extension of 14 days, and will postpone scheduling the applicant's informal review until after it has received the documentation or the extension period has elapsed. If after reviewing the documentation provided by the applicant SAHA determines that the family is eligible for assistance, no informal review will be scheduled and SAHA will proceed with admission of the applicant family. PHA Confidentiality Requirements [24 CFR 5.2007(a)(1)(v)] All information provided to SAHA regarding domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, including the fact that an individual is a victim of such violence or stalking, must be retained in confidence and may neither be entered into any shared database nor provided to any related entity, except to the extent that the disclosure (a) is requested or consented to by the individual in writing, (b) is required for use in an eviction proceeding, or (c) is otherwise required by applicable law. If disclosure is required for use in an eviction proceeding or is otherwise required by applicable law, SAHA will inform the victim before disclosure occurs so that safety risks can be identified and addressed. iii29i2oio Page 3-25
