Administrative Plan 4/1/2016 Page 12-13 <br />52641], it is a good business practice to provide written notification to both owner and family <br />anytime assistance will be terminated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. <br />SAHA Policy <br />Whenever a family’s assistance will be terminated, SAHA will send a written notice of <br />termination to the family and to the owner. The notice will state the date on which the <br />termination will become effective. This date generally will be at least 30 calendar days <br />following the date of the termination notice, but exceptions will be made whenever HUD <br />regulations, other SAHA policies, or circumstances surrounding the termination require. <br />When SAHA notifies an owner that a family’s assistance will be terminated, SAHA will, <br />if appropriate, advise the owner of his/her right to offer the family a separate, unassisted <br />lease. <br />If a family whose assistance is being terminated is entitled to an informal hearing, the notice of <br />termination that SAHA sends to the family must meet the additional HUD and SAHA notice <br />requirements discussed in section 16-III.C of this plan. VAWA 2013 expands notification <br />requirements to require PHAs to provide notice of VAWA rights and the HUD 50066 form <br />whena SAHA terminates a household’s housing benefits. <br />SAHA Policy <br />Whenever SAHA decides to terminate a family’s assistance because of the family’s <br />action or failure to act, SAHA will include in its termination notice the VAWA <br />information described in Section 16-IX.C of this plan and will request that a family <br />member wishing to claim protection under VAWA notify SAHA within 14 days. <br />Still other notice requirements apply in two situations: <br />• If a criminal record is the basis of a family’s termination, SAHA must provide a copy of the <br />record to the subject of the record and the tenant so that they have an opportunity to dispute <br />the accuracy and relevance of the record [24 CFR 982.553(d)(2)]. <br />• If immigration status is the basis of a family’s termination, as discussed in section 12-I.D, the <br />special notice requirements in section 16-III.D must be followed. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3-289
