1 HCV Informal Reviews & Hearings Housing Choice Voucher Program January 11, 2017 Presenter: Julie O Connor
2 What is the purpose of a PHA? to provide Housing But what happens when the families you serve do not hold up their end of the bargain?
3 What Authority Does a PHA have to Deny or Terminate assistance? 24 CFR and 553 Admissions and Terminations and 555 Informal Reviews and Informal Hearings Administrative Plan PIH Guidance on Excluding the Use of Arrest Records in Housing Decisions HUD Guide - Chapter 16 Informal Reviews and Hearings HUD forms - Housing Choice Voucher Form 52646
4 MAY vs MUST Permissive/ Discretionary: o may or will, authority to, or however - PHA establishes standards on how they will handle the scenario Mandatory o must -PHA Establishes Standards to cover the exceptions
5 Permissive Grounds Action or inaction by family Assistance MAY be denied When: Denying listing on the PHA waiting list Denying or withdrawing a voucher Refusing to enter into a HAP contract or approve a lease Refusing to process or provide assistance under portability procedures
6 DISCRETIONARY Grounds Authority to deny admission or terminate assistance Assistance MAY be denied When: Family violates program obligations Any member was evicted from public housing/section 8 assistance was terminated Owes money to any HA Breaches a repayment agreement Engages in/threatens abusive or violent behavior toward HA personnel
7 DISCRETIONARY Grounds Authorityto to deny admission or terminate assistance Violent or drug-related criminal activity Member commits fraud, bribery, or other corrupt criminal act Fails to comply with FSS or WTW program
8 Discretionary considerations May consider relevant circumstances May exclude a household member May Consider Evidence of Rehab Mustallow Reasonable Accommodations Mustcomply with Fair Housing and protection for victims of domestic violence LOOK at your Admin Plan for other considerations
9 MANDATORY Grounds Denial Of Admission Must be denied: Household is not eligible Refuses to sign forms Does not need assistance Fails to meet mandatory screening requirements Drug and Criminal activity
10 MANDATORY Grounds Terminating assistance for drugs, alcohol, other criminal activity Must establish standards to terminate: currently engaged in any illegal use of a drug; or a pattern of illegal use of a drug violated the family's obligation not to engage in any drug-related criminal activity Other criminal activity Alcohol abuse Do you know what standards are in your Admin Plan?
11 MANDATORY Grounds MUST Terminate Assistance When: Household member convicted of producing methamphetamine in Section 8 unit or building Refusal to sign consent forms Failure to comply with non-citizen reporting requirements Family not eligible due to immigration status
12 Are you Ready to Deny or Terminate Assistance? Do you have enough documentation? Is it good, bad, or meeting the requirements for preponderance of the evidence?
13 Documentation Good File documents Application/Personal declaration Third party verification/eiv Public records Witness with first hand knowledge Bad Unverified or unverifiable verbal reports/allegations/complaints Assumptions/conclusions based upon unverified fact Drives a luxury car, must be committing fraud
14 What about those great photos? Documentation Photo logs Who took it What does it show Where was it taken When was it taken Why is photo important Color copies
15 Documentation Preponderance of the evidence It is the responsibility of the housing agency to prove that the applicant/participant does not qualify for participation in the program Best forms of evidence include: File documents Application forms Third Party Verification/EIV reports Legal Definition of Preponderance of the Evidence: The burden of proof required in a civil (non-criminal) action to convince the court that a given proposition is true The plaintiff must convince the judge or jury by a preponderance of the evidence that the plaintiff's version is true More than 50% of the believable evidence is in the plaintiff's favor
16 PIH Arrest is NOT Preponderance of the evidence Arrest Records cannot be usedto deny or terminate assistance If an individual was arrested, it is not evidence that he or she has engaged in criminal activity. An arrest shows nothing more than that someone probably suspected the person apprehended of an offense.

38 Fair Housing Non-Discrimination Discrimination means to make a decision in favor of or against a person on the basis of the group, class, or category to which the person belongs rather than according to the individual merits of the situation. In federal law the groups, classes or categories are known as Protected Classes
39 Federal Protected Classes Race Color Religion Sex National Origin Age Disability Familial Status
40 It s the Law Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Section 109, Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 Age Discrimination Act of 1975 Title 6 of the Education Amendments Act of 1974
41 Reasonable Accommodation In addition to non-discrimination, fair housing rules require that PHAs and landlords make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities. Reasonable accommodations can include: Modifying policies, procedures and practices when needed to make it possible for the person to participate in the program or occupy a unit Sometimes allowing the tenant to make physical modifications to the unit and common areas to accommodate a mobility impairment. Accommodations are reasonable if they do not provide an undue administrative or financial burden or change the nature of the program.
42 Reasonable Accommodations and Termination of Assistance If PHA terminating assistance the family will be informed that presence of a disability may be considered as a mitigating circumstance. Examples: A person with a cognitive disorder may not have understood the requirement to report increases in income; A person may not understand the need to make regular repayments on a promissory note; and Any other mitigating circumstance as defined by the PHA
43 Special Needs at Hearing Accessible location Reasonable accommodation examples: Sign language interpreter for hearing impaired Braille, large print, reader or other accommodation for a sight-impaired person, or other accommodations requested by a person with a disability Should be requested in advance and if reasonable, granted
