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