• Specifically made available for families receiving supportive services as defined by SARA. At least one member must be receiving at least one qualifying supportive service. If a family at the time of initial tenancy is receiving and while the resident of an excepted unit has received Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) supportive services or any other service as defined as defined by SARA and successfully completes the FSS contract of participation or the supportive services requirement, the unit continues to count as an excepted unit for as long as the family resides in the unit. A family (or remaining members of a family) residing in an excepted unit that no longer meets the criteria fora "qualifying family" in connection with the 25 percent per proj ect cap exception (e.g., the family does not successfully complete supportive services requirements, or due to a change in family composition the family is no longer elderly or disabled), must vacate the unit within a reasonable period of time established by SARA, and SARA must cease paying housing assistance payments on behalf of the non-qualifying family. If the family fails to vacate the unit within the established time, the unit must be removed from the HAP contract unless the project is partially assisted, and it is possible for the HAP contract to be amended to substitute a different unit in the building in accordance with program requirements; or the owner terminates the lease and evicts the family. The housing assistance payments for a family residing in an excepted unit that is not incompliance with its family obligations to comply with supportive services requirements must be terminated by SARA. PART VIII: DETERMINING RENT TO OWNER 17-VIII.A. OVERVIEW The amount of the initial rent to an owner of units receiving PBV assistance is established at the beginning of the HAP contract term. Although for rehabilitated or newly constructed housing, the agreement to enter into HAP Contract (Agreement) states the estimated amount of the initial rent to owner, the actual amount of the initial rent to owner is established at the beginning of the HAP contract term. During the term of the HAP contract, the rent to owner is redetermined at the owner's request in accordance with program requirements, and at such time that there is a five percent or greater decrease in the published FMR. 17-VIII.B.
