§ 65 — Subsidy termination

The subsidy holder shall continue to hold the subsidy until he or she receives a housing voucher or rental subsidy through a Public Housing Authority unless: (1) The individual has a stay in a nursing home, Institution for Mental Disease (IMD) or specialized mental health rehabilitation facility (SMHRF) exceeding 6 consecutive months. During a stay in nursing home, IMD or SMHRF of less than 6 months, the program will continue to pay the subsidized portion of the rent in order to maintain the housing unit for the subsidy holder upon discharge. (2) The individual has a stay in a correctional facility exceeding 6 consecutive months. During a correctional facility stay of less than 6 months, the program will continue to pay the subsidized portion of the rent in order to maintain the housing unit for the subsidy holder. (3) A subsidy does not terminate if the subsidy holder is required to move multiple times due to landlord eviction or does not engage in treatment, as the target population for this pilot program is expected to have multiple barriers to remaining housed.
