<br /> Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 <br />. <br />Page 15-11 <br />PHAs should be aware of potential local legal barriers to HCV participants using shared housing, <br />which can create additional obstacles for shared housing: <br /> Municipalities may have occupancy limits for the number of unrelated persons who may <br />share a housing unit. <br /> Local zoning codes for single family housing may restrict occupancy in certain areas to <br />households whose family members are related by blood. <br />PHAs should work with local jurisdictions to find solutions that encourage affordable housing <br />and are consistent with the Fair Housing Act, Title VI, and other federal, state, and local fair <br />housing laws. PHAs should inform HUD if they encounter barriers to shared housing that may <br />conflict with fair housing laws. <br />SAHA Policy <br />Although SAHA will not seek out solutions within the jurisdiction, the SAHA may <br />inform HUD if the SAHA encounters barriers to shared housing that conflict with fair <br />housing laws. <br />When providing HCV assistance in shared housing, a separate lease and HAP contract are <br />executed for each assisted family. The standard form of the HAP contract is used (Form <br />HUD-52641) with the special housing type specified in Part A of the HAP contract, as follows: <br />“This HAP contract is used for the following special housing type under HUD regulations for the <br />Section 8 voucher program: Shared housing.” <br />EXHIBIT 1
