. Administrative Plan 4/1/16 Page 5-9 <br />SAHA will reference the following chart in determining the appropriate voucher size for <br />a family: <br />Voucher Size Persons in Household <br /> (Minimum – Maximum) <br />1 Bedroom 1 - 2 <br />2 Bedrooms 3 - 4 <br />3 Bedrooms 5 - 6 <br />4 Bedrooms 7 - 8 <br />5 Bedrooms 9 - 10 <br /> <br />5-II.C. EXCEPTIONS TO SUBSIDY STANDARDS <br />In determining family unit size for a particular family, SAHA may grant an exception to its <br />established subsidy standards if SAHA determines that the exception is justified by the age, sex, <br />health, handicap, or relationship of family members or other personal circumstances [24 CFR <br />982.402(b)(8)]. Reasons may include, but are not limited to: <br />•••• A need for an additional bedroom for medical equipment <br />•••• A need for a separate bedroom for reasons related to a family member’s disability, medical or <br />health condition <br />For a single person who is not elderly, disabled, or a remaining family member, an exception <br />cannot override the regulatory limit of a zero or one bedroom [24 CFR 982.402(b)(8)]. <br />SAHA Policy <br />The family must request any exception to the subsidy standards in writing. The request <br />must explain the need or justification for a larger family unit size, and must include <br />appropriate documentation. Requests based on health-related reasons must be verified by <br />a licensed professional source (e.g., doctor or health professional), unless the disability <br />and the disability–related request for accommodation is readily apparent or otherwise <br />known. The family’s continued need for an additional bedroom will be re-verified at <br />annual reexamination. <br />SAHA will notify the family of its determination within 14 days of receiving the family’s <br />request. If a participant’s request is denied, the notice will inform the family of their right <br />to request an informal hearing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3-125
