EXHIBIT 1 PHAs must track the 24-month phase -period for each eligible family, even if a family's expenses go below the appropriate phase -in percentage, during the first or second 12-month phase -in period. The phase -in must continue for families who move to another housing unit at the same PHA. When the family is treated as a new admission under a different property/program (e.g., the family moves from public housing to the HCV program), unless the PHA has a written policy to continue the phased -in relief upon admission, the family's expense deduction will be calculated using the 10-percent threshold unless request for general relief is approved by the PHA. When a family moves with continued assistance or ports to a new PHA, the family must continue to receive the phased -in relief. The family must receive the remaining calendar months of the percentage phase -in. The PHA must use the existing phase -in documentation to determine the remaining calendar months and the percentage phase -in. SAHA Policy SAHA will not continue the phased -in relief for families who move from public housing to HCV. These families will be treated as new admissions and the sum of expenses that exceeds 10 percent of annual income will be used to calculate their adjusted income. General Relief The second category is for families that can demonstrate: Their health and medical and/or disability assistance expenses increased (other than the transition to the higher threshold); or • The family's financial hardship is a result of a change in circumstances (as defined in PHA policy) that would not otherwise trigger an interim reexamination. The family may request a hardship exemption under the second category regardless of whether the family previously received the health and medical and/or disability assistance deductions or are currently or were previously receiving relief under the phased -in relief category above. HUD requires that PHAs develop policies defining what constitutes a hardship for purposes of this exemption. - 025 City Council 5 — 297 5 2 25
