EXHIBIT 1 <br />As part of its search extension policy, the PHA may not restrict a first extension approval to <br />certain circumstances or require documentation from applicants. For all extension requests, a <br />written or verbal request is sufficient. In providing notice to families of the expiration date and <br />extension request process, PHAs must ensure effective communication with persons with <br />disabilities, including those with vision, hearing, speech, intellectual or other developmental <br />disabilities, or any other communication -related disabilities. PHAs must approve all extensions <br />made as a reasonable accommodation, and PHAs must provide this information during the <br />family briefing. <br />SAHA Policy <br />At least 30 days prior to the expiration of the initial term of the voucher, SAHA will <br />contact the family to remind them of the expiration date of their voucher, the process for <br />requesting an extension, and to inquire if the family needs assistance with their housing <br />search. Depending on the family's preferred method of communication, SAHA may <br />contact the family via telephone, text message, email, or other accessible communication <br />method. SAHA will ensure effective communication with persons with disabilities, <br />including those with vision, hearing, speech, intellectual or other developmental <br />disabilities, or any other communication -related disabilities. <br />Families may request an extension, either orally or in writing, at any time prior to the <br />expiration of the family's voucher. All requests for extensions will automatically be <br />granted without the requirement for the family to provide documentation. The initial <br />extension period will be for 90 days. If the family requires additional extensions beyond <br />90 days, the family may request additional extensions, either orally or in writing, at any <br />time prior to the expiration of the extended voucher term. All subsequent extensions will <br />also be for a period of 90 days and will not require the family to meet certain <br />circumstances or provide documentation. Each time the family requests an extension, <br />SAHA will inquire if the family needs assistance with their housing search and will <br />provide a current listing of available accessible units known to SAHA. <br />- 025 <br />City Council 5 — 893 5 2 25 <br />
