Applicant or family member lives in a housing development and is a victim of domestic violence, stalking, sexual violence, dating violence, or elder abuse and provides documentation by a thirdparty that supports transfer application. The SFHA will refer applicant to appropriate social services as a component of the transfer. Victim Assistance for Hate Crime / Hate Incident Any member of the household has been the victim of at least one HATE crime (actual or threatened physical violence or intimidation that is directed against a person or his/her property that is based on the person‘s race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, height, weight, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, domestic partner status, marital status, disability or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or HIV status (AIDS/HIV status), or association with members of such protected classes, ) that is documented by law enforcement agency or provides documentation by a third-party that supports transfer application, stating that the family is in an immediate life-threatening situation and that an immediate transfer would minimize the problem. Victim Assistance for Victims of Violent Crime Law enforcement agency recommends re-housing the applicant to avoid or minimize a risk of substantiated and repeated violence against resident and/or family members. 2) Medical & Disability – May occur when either one or more of the following criteria is sufficiently documented: a)
The unit is unsuitable because of an undue medical hardship that is expected to be long standing (more than one year) and which cannot be accommodated in the current unit;
b)
A transfer would accommodate a family‘s need to be close to another family member with a serious medical condition;
c)
One or more family members has a mobility or other impairment that makes the person unable to use critical elements of the apartment (e.g., inability to climb stairs or use bathroom or kitchen facilities);
d)
Elderly and/or disabled resident residing in family-designated developments who wish to transfer to a Senior/Disabled development.
Prior to a Medical and Disability transfer occurring, the applicant must complete the SFHA Reasonable Accommodation Packet.
C. Standard Transfers – Residents may apply for a Standard Transfer if the resident is in Good Standing and have resided in a development for at least 12 months. To be in Good Standing a resident cannot have any outstanding lease violations. Outstanding lease violations and delinquent rent may disqualify a resident’s application for transfer. Due to limited resources, prioritization of Standard Transfers falls below all other Transfer Waiting Lists and applicant waiting lists.
