Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 12-12 <br />PART II: APPROACH TO TERMINATION OF ASSISTANCE <br />12-II.A. OVERVIEW <br />The PHA is required by regulation to terminate a family’s assistance for certain actions or <br />inactions of the family. For other types of actions or inactions of the family, the regulations give <br />the PHA the authority to either terminate the family’s assistance or to take another action. This <br />part discusses the various actions the PHA may choose to take when it has discretion, and <br />outlines the criteria the PHA will use to make its decision about whether or not to terminate <br />assistance. It also specifies the requirements for the notification to the family of the PHA’s intent <br />to terminate assistance. <br />12-II.B. METHOD OF TERMINATION [24 CFR 982.552(a)(3)] <br />Termination of assistance for a participant may include any or all of the following: <br /> Terminating housing assistance payments under a current HAP contract, <br /> Refusing to enter into a new HAP contract or approve a lease, or <br /> Refusing to process a request for or to provide assistance under portability procedures. <br />12-II.C. ALTERNATIVES TO TERMINATION OF ASSISTANCE <br />Change in Household Composition <br />As a condition of continued assistance, the PHA may require that any household member who <br />participated in or was responsible for an offense no longer resides in the unit [24 CFR <br />982.552(c)(2)(ii)]. <br />SAHA Policy <br />As a condition of continued assistance, the head of household must certify that the <br />culpable family member has vacated the unit and will not be permitted to visit or to stay <br />as a guest in the assisted unit. The family must present evidence of the former family <br />member’s current address upon SAHA request. <br />Repayment of Family Debts <br />SAHA Policy <br />If a family owes amounts to SAHA, as a condition of continued assistance, SAHA will <br />require the family to repay the full amount or to enter into a repayment agreement, within <br />30 days of receiving notice from SAHA of the amount owed. See Chapter 16 for policies <br />on repayment agreements. <br />EXHIBIT 1
