HUD Clarifies Procedures for Housing Authorities to Follow When Sole Household Member Dies

摘要

Hud has clarified the procedures PHAs must follow to avoid housing subsidy overpayments when the sole household member dies, including the treatment of units with live-in aides. The guidance was provided in Notice PIH 2010-50 (HA), which was issued on January 1 and modifies Notice PIH 2010-09. If the only remaining household member is a live-in aide, the aide is not eligible for rental assistance or occupancy in a subsidized unit and cannot be designated as the new head of household.
