If the grounds for denial are <br />not specified in the regulations, then the decision to deny assistance will be <br />overturned. <br />The validity of the evidence. SAHA will evaluate whether the facts presented <br />prove the grounds for denial of assistance. If the facts prove that there are grounds <br />for denial, and the denial is required by HUD, SAHA will uphold the decision to <br />deny assistance. <br />If the facts prove the grounds for denial, and the denial is discretionary, SAHA <br />will consider the recommendation of the person conducting the informal review in <br />making the final decision whether to deny assistance. <br />SAHA will notify the applicant of the final decision, including a statement explaining the <br />reason(s) for the decision. The notice will be mailed within 14 calendar days of the <br />informal review, to the applicant and their representative, if any, along with proof of <br />mailing. <br />If the decision to deny is overturned as a result of the informal review, processing for <br />admission will resume. <br />If the family fails to appear for their informal review, the denial of admission will stand <br />and the family will be so notified. <br />EXHIBIT 1
