Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 17-78 The PHA must terminate the housing assistance payments for the wrong-sized or accessible unit and remove the unit from the HAP contract when the PHA has offered PBV assistance or other project-based assistance in an appropriately sized unit, and the family accepts the offer but does not move out of the PBV unit within a reasonable time as determined by the PHA (not to exceed 90 days). No extensions may be granted in this case. The PHA may reinstate a removed unit to the HAP contract after the family vacates the property, in accordance with 24 CFR 983.207(b). SAHA Policy When SAHA offers a family another form of assistance that is not a tenant-based voucher, the family will be given 90 days from the date of the offer to accept the offer and move out of the PBV unit. If the family does not move out within this 90-day time frame, SAHA will terminate the housing assistance payments at the expiration of this 90- day period. Except in the case of an offer by SAHA of PBV assistance or other project-based housing assistance in an appropriate size unit, the family accepts the offer but does not move out, SAHA may make exceptions to this 90-day period if needed for reasons beyond the family’s control such as death, serious illness, or other medical emergency of a family member or to accommodate the family’s efforts to locate affordable, safe, and geographically proximate replacement housing. The family must make such a request in writing prior to the end of the 90-day period. SAHA will only grant one extension which will not exceed an additional 90 days. EXHIBIT 1
