Do PHAs have to suspend the familys minimum rent requirement the day the family makes the request?
In accordance with 24 CFR 5.630, if a family requests a financial hardship exemption, the responsible entity must suspend the minimum rent requirement beginning the month following the family’s request for a hardship exemption. The suspension must continue until the responsible entity determines whether there is a qualifying financial hardship, and whether such hardship is temporary or long-term.
