Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 8-13 <br />8-I.H. VIOLATION OF SPACE STANDARDS [24 CFR 5.703(d)(5)] <br />Units assisted under the HCV or PBV programs must have at least one bedroom or <br />living/sleeping room for each two persons. A living room may be used as sleeping (bedroom) <br />space, but no more than two persons may occupy the space [HCV GB p. 10-6]. Each habitable <br />room must have two working outlets or one working outlet and a permanent light. HUD defines <br />a habitable room as a room in a building for living, sleeping, eating, or cooking, but excluding <br />bathrooms, toilet rooms, closets, hallways, storage or utility spaces, and similar areas [FR Notice <br />5/11/23]. <br />A unit that does not meet these space standards is defined as overcrowded. <br />If the PHA determines that a unit is overcrowded because of an increase in family size or a <br />change in family composition, the PHA must issue the family a new voucher, and the family and <br />PHA must try to find an acceptable unit as soon as possible. If an acceptable unit is available for <br />rental by the family, the PHA must terminate the HAP contract in accordance with its terms. <br />EXHIBIT 1
