Administrative Plan 4/1/2016 Page 10-5 send out written approval within 7 days to confirm the move out date with a scheduled appointment date for the move briefing. Reexamination of Family Income and Composition SAHA Policy For families approved to move to a new unit within SAHA’s jurisdiction, SAHA will not perform a new annual reexamination in accordance with policies set forth in Chapter 11 of this plan. For families moving into or families approved to move out of SAHA’s jurisdiction under portability, SAHA will follow the policies set forth in Part II of this chapter. Voucher Issuance and Briefing SAHA Policy For families approved to move to a new unit within SAHA’s jurisdiction, SAHA will issue a new voucher within 14 days of SAHA’s written approval to move. A move briefing is conducted when the voucher is issued. During the briefing, the following information will be provided to the tenant: voucher term, expiration, extension, last HAP paid, HAP extension request, move policies, Lead-Based Paint, portability procedure, RFTA issuance and housing search log. SAHA will also follow the policies set forth in Chapter 5 on voucher term, extension, and expiration. If a family does not locate a new unit within the term of the voucher and any approved extensions, the family may remain in its current unit with continued voucher assistance if the owner agrees and SAHA approves. Otherwise, the family will lose their housing assistance. For families moving into or families approved to move out of SAHA’s jurisdiction under portability, SAHA will follow the policies set forth in Part II of this chapter. Housing Assistance Payments [24 CFR 982.311(d)] When a family moves out of an assisted unit, SAHA may not make any housing assistance payment to the owner for any month after the month the family moves out. The owner may keep the housing assistance payment for the month when the family moves out of the unit. If a participant family moves from an assisted unit with continued tenant-based assistance, the term of the assisted lease for the new assisted unit may begin during the month the family moves out of the first assisted unit. Overlap of the last housing assistance payment (for the month when the family moves out of the old unit) and the first assistance payment for the new unit, is not considered to constitute a duplicative housing subsidy. SAHA Policy SAHA will recoup any HAP paid to the owner after the family has moved out of the unit. If a family moves from an assisted unit with continued tenant-based assistance, the term of the assisted lease for the new assisted unit may begin during the month the family moves out of the first assisted unit. Overlapping of the last housing assistance payment (for the month when the family moves out of the old unit) and the first assistance payment for the new unit is not considered a duplicate housing subsidy.
