. Administrative Plan 4/1/16 Page 5-12 <br />expires on SAHA’s non-working day or holiday, the voucher will be valid until the next <br />working day. <br />SAHA will decide whether to approve or deny an extension request within 7 days of the <br />date the request is received, and will immediately provide the family written notice of its <br />decision. <br />Suspensions of Voucher Term [24 CFR 982.303(c)] <br />SAHA must provide for suspension of the initial or any extended term of the voucher from the <br />date the family submits a request for SAHA approval of the tenancy until the date SAHA notifies <br />the family in writing whether the request has been approved or denied. <br />SAHA Policy <br />When a Request for Tenancy Approval is received by SAHA, the term of the voucher <br />will be suspended while the request is being processed. SAHA will toll the voucher from <br />the date the Request for Tenant Approval (RTA) was received until the date SAHA <br />notifies the family in writing whether the request has been approved or denied. <br />Expiration of Voucher Term <br />Once a family’s housing choice voucher term (including any extensions) expires, the family is no <br />longer eligible to search for housing under the program. If the family still wishes to receive <br />assistance, SAHA may require that the family reapply, or may place the family on the waiting <br />list with a new application date but without requiring reapplication. Such a family does not <br />become ineligible for the program on the grounds that it was unable to locate a unit before the <br />voucher expired [HCV GB p. 8-13]. <br />SAHA Policy <br />If the family’s voucher term or extension expires before the family has submitted an <br />RTA, the family will need to reapply for assistance. If an RTA that was submitted prior <br />to the expiration date of the voucher is subsequently canceled by the family (after the <br />voucher term has expired), the family will be required to reapply for assistance. <br />Within 14 days after the expiration of the voucher term or any extension, SAHA will <br />notify the family in writing that the voucher term has expired. <br /> <br />3-128
