§ 7-05 Moves.
RCNY § 7-05
(a)A household receiving LINC VI rental assistance may not move to a new residence and maintain eligibility for LINC VI rental assistance except with the approval of HRA and provided that the move must be to a residence within the City of New York. The LINC VI program participant must obtain such approval prior to moving to a new residence, provided that HRA may consider a request for approval made after the move if a program participant is unable to obtain such approval prior to the move due to circumstances beyond the program participant's control. If the household is moving with its current host family to a new residence. HRA shall grant approval for the move. In all other situations, HRA shall grant approval for a move from one residence to another residence only if the program participant shows that there is good cause for the move. If the requested move would result in an increase in the household's monthly rent, approval will also be subject to the availability of funding.
(b)If HRA has approved a move to a new residence, HRA shall recalculate the monthly rental assistance amount and that amount shall not change for one year from the effective date of the lease or rental agreement for the new residence. If the effective date of the lease or rental agreement for the new residence is not more than ten months after the start of the household's current year of participation in the program, then the household's current year of LINC VI rental assistance shall begin anew on the effective date of such lease or rental agreement. If the effective date of the lease or rental agreement for the new residence is more than ten months after the start of the household's current year of participation in the program and the household is eligible for renewal of LINC VI assistance, then the household's renewal period shall begin on the effective date of such lease or rental agreement.
