Conventional Public Housing Program Clause Samples

Conventional Public Housing Program. GHA may consider the bifurcation of the tenant’s lease under the Conventional Public Housing program. If GHA bifurcates the lease, the perpetrator of the VAWA crime will be removed from a unit without evicting, removing, terminating assistance to, or otherwise penalize a victim who seeks to remain in the unit. An emergency transfer is not required as a result of the lease bifurcation. • GHA may be unable to transfer a tenant to a particular unit if the tenant has not or cannot establish eligibility based on GHA requirements for that unit. For example, if a unit of the same bedroom size, or one that is appropriate for the family composition size is not available. • If GHA bifurcates a lease and removes the only qualifying member for the program, the remaining family members will be given 90 days, or until the end of the lease term, whichever is sooner, to establish eligibility or find a new place to live (FR- 5720-F-03, pg. 80772, 80775). • The time period to establish eligibility or to find new housing is triggered when the tenant removed from the unit is the one family member whose characteristics qualified the rest of the family to live in the unit or receive assistance (FR-F-03, pg. 80772). • The time period begins on the date the bifurcation of the lease is legally effective and not at the start of the process to bifurcate the lease.
