. Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 10-7 10-I.D. MOVING PROCESS Notification If a family wishes to move to a new unit, the family must notify the PHA and the owner before moving out of the old unit or terminating the lease on notice to the owner [24 CFR 982.354(d)(2)]. If the family wishes to move to a unit outside the PHA’s jurisdiction under portability, the notice to the PHA must specify the area where the family wishes to move [24 CFR 982.354(d)(2)]. The notices must be in writing [24 CFR 982.5]. Approval SAHA Policy Upon receipt of a family’s notification that it wishes to move, SAHA will determine whether the move is approvable in accordance with the regulations and policies set forth in sections 10-I.A and 10-I.B. Following receipt of the family’s notification, SAHA will send out written approval within 7 calendar 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 including the Interjurisdictional Agreement (Mobility), SAHA will issue a new voucher within 14 calendar 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 participant: voucher term, expiration, extension, last HAP paid, HAP extension request, move policies, Lead-Based Paint, portability procedure and mobility inspection procedure. The following documents will be provided to participant: copy of move briefing checklist, voucher, RTA packet, 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. For families moving due an owner failing to make required repairs timely, resulting in SAHA terminating the HAP contract, SAHA will follow the policies set forth earlier in this section and in Chapter 8, Part II.
