[24 CFR Part 5, Subparts D & E; Part 982, Subpart D & L]<br />

in foster care shall still be considered in determining family composition and family size);<br />
- An elderly family;<br />
- A disabled family;<br />
- A displaced family,<br />
- The remaining member of a family; and<br />

4. Verification of Permanent Absence of Family Member<br />
If an adult member who was formerly a member of the household is reported permanently absent<br />
by the family, SDHC will accept a self-certification from the head of household. If the head is the<br />
absent member, the spouse, co-head, or other adult member can report the change in household<br />
composition.<br />
SDHC reserves the right to require any of the following as verification that the household member is<br />
absent from the home:<br />
- Divorce action paperwork.<br />
- Legal separation paperwork.<br />
- Order of protection/restraining order obtained by one family member against another.<br />
- Proof of another home address, such as utility bills, canceled checks for rent, driver’s license,<br />
or lease or rental agreement.<br />
- Statements from other agencies such as social services or a written statement from the<br />
property owner or manager that the adult family member is no longer living at that location.<br />
- Document from the Court or prison stating how long the adult family member will be<br />
incarcerated.<br />
