Reporting Changes
Q: How soon do I have to report a change in my income or household?
A:You must immediately notify HASB, in writing, when there is any change to your household income or assets, or adjustments to income, or when there is a change in the number of people living in your household. This must be reported within 10 days of the change.
Q: How do i report a change in my household?
A: Download the form you need from the Forms and Documents page. Paper forms are located in the lobby of our Administration Building.
Fill out the form and return it to HASB. If you report an income change or a new household member, your Housing Specialist will require additional documentation.
Q: How long will it take for my rent to change, once i turn in my changes?
A: Once your verifications for the change are received, if eligible, the change will be made. This process may take approximately 30 days. Please contact your Housing Specialist if it has been more than 30 days and you have not received notice of the change being processed.
Q: When will I find out what my new rent portion will be?
A: Once your verifications have been provided, we will calculate the change in rent amount for which you are eligible. Once this is done, you will receive a written notification in the mail with your new rent portion and when it begins. This process may take approximately 30 days. Please contact your Housing Specialist if it has been more than 30 days and you have not received notice of the change being processed.
Q: What do I do if I want to add something to my housing?
A: There are two steps to add someone to your household.
- Complete a Request to Add/Remove a Member of the Household form and submit it to HASB. All adults must pass HASB's screening criteria before they move in.
- Turn in all verifications requested by the HASB in order to determine continued eligibility.
If you have questions, please contact your Housing Specialist.
Q: Do I need to report guests who stay with me?
A: If your guest visits more than fourteen (14) days and/or nights in a forty-five (45) day period (whether they visit multiple times or all at once) without prior written approval by HASB, you can be considered allowing an unauthorized occupant.
Q: I am experiencing domestic violence and need to make a change to my housing. What do I do?
A: Please contact your Housing Specialist to discuss your moving options. You will be asked to provide documentation of your situation.
