Chapter 2 – Waiting List, Admission, and Denial of Admission [24 CFR Part 5, Subparts B, D & E; Part 982, Subpart E] A single-person family may be: - An elderly person. - A displaced person. - A veteran or active U.S. Service Person. - A person with a disability. Individuals may not be considered disabled for eligibility purposes solely based on any drug or alcohol dependence. - Any other single person. - A child who is temporarily away from home because of placement in foster care is considered a member of the family. This provision only pertains to the foster child's temporary absence from the home, and is not intended to enlarge artificially the space available for other family members. A family will consist of a Head of Household as defined in the Glossary. In addition, a family may contain either a Spouse or a Co-Head as defined in the Glossary. 1. Definition of a Live-in Aide A family may include a Live-In-Aide (LIA) provided that such a live-in aide: - Is determined by SDHC to be essential to the care and well being of an elderly person, a near-elderly person, or a person with a disability; - Is not obligated for the support of the person(s); - Would not be living in the unit except to provide care for the person(s); - A health care provider must document the need for a Live-In-Aide; - The Live-In-Aide and his/her adult family members must provide the following: Picture identification, Social Security number verification, a completed “Conviction Record” form, and the Live-In-Aide must sign and submit a completed “Certification of Live-In-Aide” form. Minor children who are part of the LIA’s family are only required to provide verification of their Social Security numbers; - Family members that are currently residing in the assisted unit cannot become a Live-In- Aide. A Live-In-Aide is treated differently than family members: - Income/assets/deductions of Live-In-Aide will not be counted for purposes of determining eligibility or level of benefits; - A Live-In-Aide is not subject to Non-Citizen Rule requirements; and a - A larger unit cannot be approved until the Live-In-Aide has been identified and approved by SDHC (the Live-In-Aide’s family members may not cause over-crowding of the voucher or unit); and - Live In Aide may not be considered as a remaining member of the participant family. A relative is not automatically excluded from being a Live-In-Aide, but he/she must meet all of the elements in the Live-In-Aide definition described above. Owners of the assisted unit may not be a Live-In-Aide. A Live-In-Aide may only reside in the unit with the approval of SDHC. Written verification will be 2-8
Chapter 2 – Waiting List, Admission, and Denial of Admission [24 CFR Part 5, Subparts B, D & E; Part 982, Subpart E] required from a reliable, knowledgeable professional. The verification provider must certify that a Live-In-Aide is needed for the care of the family member who is elderly, near elderly (50-61) or disabled. At any time, SDHC will refuse to approve a particular person as a Live-In-Aide or may withdraw such approval if: - The person has committed fraud, bribery, or any other corrupt or criminal act in connection with any federal housing program; - The person has a history of drug-related criminal activity or violent criminal activity as defined by this Administrative Plan; or - The person currently owes rent or other amounts to SDHC or to another Housing Authority in connection with Section 8 or public housing assistance under the 1937 Act. 2. Joint Custody of Children Children who are subject to a joint custody agreement but live with one parent at least 51% of the time will be considered members of the household. "51% of the time" is defined as 186 days of the year, which do not have to run consecutively. X. MANDATORY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS [24 CFR 5.216, 5.218] All applicants and participants (including each member of the household) are required to disclose his/her assigned Social Security Number and to provide verification of his/her Social Security Number. (This requirement also applies to persons joining the family after admission to the program.) The applicant family will not be admitted to the program until all members of the household have met the Social Security Number disclosure and documentation requirements. Individuals who do not contend eligible immigration status may not have a Social Security Number to disclose and must sign a Social Security Number Declaration Form that they do not have an assigned Social Security Number. All applicants who disclose their Social Security Number must provide verification within 21 days. An extension for an additional 21 days will be granted when requested in writing. All applicants who fail to provide the requested verifications within the timeframe stated above will be dropped from the Waiting List. The SDHC will deny eligibility for assistance if the applicant (including each member of the household) does not disclose and/or provide documentation of Social Security Numbers within the specified time frame. The SDHC will verify each disclosed Social Security Number in the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) system. Y. CITIZENSHIP/ELIGIBLE IMMIGRATION STATUS [24 CFR Part 5, Subpart E] In order to receive assistance, a family member must be a U.S. citizen or eligible immigrant. Individuals who are neither may elect not to contend their status. Eligible immigrants are persons who are in one of the immigrant categories as specified by HUD. For the Citizen/Eligible Immigration requirement, the status of each member of the family is considered 2-9
