<br /> Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 18-35 <br />Failure to Participate in Case Management [FR Notice 8/13/24] <br />Upon notification by the VAMC or DSP of the family’s failure to participate, without good <br />cause, in case management, the PHA must provide the family a reasonable time period to vacate <br />the unit. The PHA must terminate assistance to the family at the earlier of either the time the <br />family vacates or the expiration of the reasonable time period given to vacate. <br />SAHA Policy <br />If the family fails to participate in case management when required by the VA, SAHA <br />will terminate the family’s assistance. The family will have 120 days to vacate the unit, <br />starting from the proposed termination action. SAHA will terminate assistance to the <br />family at the earlier of (1) the time the family vacates or (2) the expiration of the 120-day <br />period. If the family fails to vacate the unit within the established time, the owner may <br />evict the family. If the owner does not evict the family, SAHA will remove the unit from <br />the HAP contract or amend the HAP contract to substitute a different unit in the project if <br />the project is partially assisted. SAHA may add the removed unit back onto the HAP <br />contract after the ineligible family vacates the property. <br />If the family fails to vacate the unit within the established time, the owner may evict the family. <br />If the owner does not evict the family, the PHA must remove the unit from the HAP contract or <br />amend the HAP contract to substitute a different unit in the project if the project is partially <br />assisted. The PHA may add the removed unit to the HAP contract after the ineligible family <br />vacates the property. <br />Moves [HUD-VASH Qs and As, FR Notice 8/13/24] <br />When a VASH PBV family is eligible to move from its PBV unit in accordance with Section 17- <br />VIII.C. of this policy, but there is no other comparable tenant-based rental assistance, the <br />following procedures must be implemented: <br /> If a VASH tenant-based voucher is not available at the time the family wants (and is eligible) <br />to move, the PHA may require a family who still requires case management to wait for a <br />VASH tenant-based voucher for a period not to exceed 180 days; <br /> If a VASH tenant-based voucher is still not available after that period, the family must be <br />allowed to move with its VASH voucher. Alternatively, the PHA may allow the family to <br />move with its VASH voucher without having to meet this 180-day period. In either case, the <br />PHA is required to replace the assistance in the PBV unit with one of its regular vouchers, <br />unless the PHA and owner agree to temporarily remove the unit from the HAP contract; and <br /> If a VASH veteran is determined to no longer require case management, the PHA must allow <br />the family to move with the first available tenant-based voucher if no VASH voucher is <br />immediately available and cannot require the family to wait for a VASH voucher to become <br />available. <br />EXHIBIT 1
