Section 8 policy change
Families that are eligible for TANF
but have not applied may pay higher rent
The Board approved a new
income calculation that will apply to families that appear to be
eligible for TANF, but report income below the TANF grant
amount. However, SHA has not yet planned an effective date
for this policy.
If the
family does not provide SHA with documentation that they are
not eligible for TANF, SHA will calculate their income as if
they were receiving the standard grant amount for the family
size.
When this policy becomes effective, it will only apply to households with children
that have little or no
income, and have not applied for TANF.
When will the
change affect households?
At this time, SHA has not determined an effective date for this
policy. Until further notice, families do not have to provide
documentation of TANF ineligibility.
