SELF-CERTIFICATION <br />Self-certification, or “tenant declaration,” is used as a last resort when the PHA is unable to <br />obtain third-party verification. <br />When the PHA relies on a tenant declaration for verification of income, assets, or expenses, the <br />family’s file must be documented to explain why third-party verification was not available. <br /> <br />SAHA Policy <br />When information cannot be verified by a third party or by review of documents, family <br />members will be required to submit self-certifications attesting to the accuracy of the <br />information they have provided to SAHA. SAHA staff must document the family’s file to <br />explain why third-party verification was not available when SAHA relies on tenant <br />declaration for verification of income, assets, or expenses. <br />SAHA may require a family to certify that a family member does not receive a particular <br />type of income or benefit. <br />The self-certification must be made in a format acceptable to SAHA and must be signed <br />by the family member whose information or status is being verified. All self- <br />certifications must be signed in the presence of a SAHA representative. <br /> <br />PART II. VERIFYING FAMILY INFORMATION <br />7-II.A.
