EXHIBIT 1 SAHA will reference the following chart in determining the appropriate voucher size for a family: Voucher Size Persons in Household (Minimum — Maximum) 1 Bedroom 1-2 2 Bedrooms 2-4 3 Bedrooms 5-6 4 Bedrooms 7-8 5 Bedrooms 9-10 5-II.C. EXCEPTIONS TO SUBSIDY STANDARDS In determining family unit size for a particular family, the PHA may grant an exception to its established subsidy standards if the PHA determines that the exception is justified by the age, sex, health, handicap, or relationship of family members or other personal circumstances [24 CFR 982.402(b)(8)]. Reasons may include, but are not limited to: • A need for an additional bedroom for medical equipment • A need for a separate bedroom for reasons related to a family member's disability, medical or health condition For a single person who is not elderly, disabled, or a remaining family member, an exception cannot override the regulatory limit of a zero or one bedroom [24 CFR 982.402(b)(8)]. SAHA Policy The family must request any exception to the subsidy standards in writing, which will include email. The request must explain the need or justification for a larger family unit size and must include appropriate documentation. Requests based on health -related reasons must be verified by a knowledgeable professional source (e.g., doctor or health professional), unless the disability and the disability —related need for accommodation is readily apparent or otherwise known. The family's continued need for an additional bedroom due to special medical equipment must be re -verified at annual reexamination. SAHA will notify the family of its determination within 14 calendar days of receiving the family's request. If a participant family's request is denied, the notice will inform the family of their right to request an informal hearing. Page 5-13 Administrative Plan 7/l/2025 City Council 5 — 165 7/15/2025
