The extent of participation or culpability of individual family members, including whether the culpable family member is a minor or a person with disabilities, or (as discussed further in section 3-III.G) a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking The length of time since the violation occurred, the family's recent history and the likelihood of favorable conduct in the future In the case of drug or alcohol abuse, whether the culpable household member is participating in or has successfully completed a supervised drug or alcohol rehabilitation program or has otherwise been rehabilitated successfully SARA will require the applicant to submit evidence of the household member's current participation in or successful completion of a supervised drug or alcohol rehabilitation program, or evidence of otherwise having been rehabilitated successfully. Removal of a Family Member's Name from the Application [24 CFR 982.552(c)(2)(ii)] HUD permits PHAs to impose as a condition of admission, a requirement that family members who participated in or were culpable for an action or failure to act which results in the denial of assistance, to not reside in the unit. As a condition of receiving assistance, a family may agree to remove the culpable family member from the application. In such instances, the head of household must certify that the family member will not be permitted to visit or to stay as a guest in the assisted unit. After admission to the program, the family must present evidence of the former family member's current address upon SAHA's request. Reasonable Accommodation [24 CFR 982.552(c)(2)(iv)] If the family includes a person with disabilities, SAHA's decision concerning denial of admission is subj ect to consideration of reasonable accommodation in accordance with 24 CFR Part 8. If the family indicates that the behavior of a family member with a disability is the reason for the proposed denial of assistance, SARA will determine whether the behavior is related to the disability. If so, upon the family's request, SARA will determine whether alternative measures are appropriate as a reasonable accommodation. SARA will only consider accommodations that can reasonably be expected to address the behavior that is the basis of the proposed denial of assistance. See Chapter 2 for a discussion of reasonable accommodation. 3-III.F. NOTICE OF ELIGIBILITY OR DENIAL If the family is eligible for assistance, SARA will notify the family when it extends the invitation to attend the voucher briefing appointment, as discussed in Chapter 5. If SARA determines that a family is not eligible for the program for any reason, the family must be notified promptly. The notice must describe: (1) the reasons for which assistance has been denied, (2) the family's right to an informal review, and (3) the process for obtaining the informal review [24 CFR 982.554 (a)]. See Chapter 16, for informal review policies and procedures. Page 3 -20 ~~02~2012
