OVERVIEW SARA must establish subsidy standards that determine the number of bedrooms needed for families of different sizes and compositions. This part presents the policies that will be used to determine the family unit size (also known as the voucher size) a particular family should receive, and the policies that govern making exceptions to those standards. SARA also must establish policies related to the issuance of the voucher, to the voucher term, and to any extensions or suspensions of that term. 5-II.B. DETERMINING FAMILY UNIT (VOUCHER) SIZE [24 CFR 982.402] For each family, SARA determines the appropriate number of bedrooms under SARA subsidy standards and enters the family unit size on the voucher that is issued to the family. The family unit size does not dictate the size of unit the family must actually lease, nor does it determine who within a household will share abedroom/sleeping room. The following requirements apply when SARA determines family unit size: • The subsidy standards must provide for the smallest number of bedrooms needed to house a family without overcrowding.
