EXHIBIT 1 17-VI.F. OFFER OF PBV ASSISTANCE OR OWNER'S REJECTION Refusal of Offer [24 CFR 983.251(e)] If a family refuses the PHA's offer of PBV assistance or the owner rejects a family for admission, the family's position on the PHA waiting list for tenant -based assistance is not affected regardless of the type of PBV waiting list used by the PHA. The impact (of a family's rejection of the offer or the owner's rejection of the family) on a family's position on the PBV waiting list will be determined as follows: If a central PBV waiting list is used, the PHA's administrative plan must address the number of offers a family may reject without good cause before the family is removed from the PBV waiting list and whether the owner's rejection will impact the family's place on the PBV waiting list. • If a project -specific PBV waiting list is used, the family's name is removed from the project's waiting list connected to the family's rejection of the offer without good cause or the owner's rejection of the family. The family's position on any other project -specific PBV waiting list is not affected. The PHA must define good cause in its administrative plan. The PHA's definition of good cause must include, at minimum, that: - The family determines the unit is not accessible to a household member with a disability or otherwise does not meet the member's disability -related needs; - The unit has housing quality standards deficiencies; - The family is unable to accept the offer due to circumstances beyond the family's control (such as hospitalization, temporary economic hardship, or natural disaster); and - The family determines the unit presents a health or safety risk to a household member who is or has been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. SAHA Policy SAHA will define good cause for rejection of a unit offer as any of the factors listed above. 025 City Council 5 — 818 5 2 25
