Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 12-20 <br />12-II.F. TERMINATION NOTICE <br />HUD regulations require PHAs to provide written notice of termination of assistance to a family <br />only when the family is entitled to an informal hearing. However, since the family’s HAP <br />contract and lease will also terminate when the family’s assistance terminates [form HUD- <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. SAHA will also send a form HUD-5382 and <br />form HUD-5380 to the family with the termination notice. The notice will state the date <br />on which the termination will become effective. This date generally will be at least 30 <br />calendar days following the date of the termination notice, but exceptions will be made <br />whenever HUD rules, other PHA policies, or the circumstances surrounding the <br />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 their 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 the PHA sends to the family must meet the additional HUD and PHA notice <br />requirements discussed in section 16-III.C of this plan. VAWA requires PHAs to provide notice <br />of VAWA rights and the HUD 5382 form when a PHA terminates a household’s housing <br />benefits. <br />PHA 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 a form HUD-5382 and form <br />HUD-5380. SAHA will request in writing that a family member wishing to claim <br />protection under VAWA notify SAHA within 14 calendar days. <br />Still other notice requirements apply in two situations: <br /> If a criminal record is the basis of a family’s termination, the PHA must provide a copy of <br />the record to the subject of the record and the tenant so that they have an opportunity to <br />dispute 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 />EXHIBIT 1
