2.4.1 General Grounds

An applicant may be denied admission only for very specific reasons. 24 C.F.R. §§ 982.552–.553 list the mandatory and discretionary grounds for denying admission to the program. The PHA must deny admission to the program if any member of the family fails to sign and submit required consent forms, fails to provide required evidence of citizenship or eligible immigration status, fails to meet the eligibility requirements concerning individuals enrolled at institutions of higher education, or is over-income for the program.
