Exhibit A - OCCUPANCY GUIDELINES
The authority does not determine who shares a bedroom/sleeping room, but there must be at least one person per bedroom. The Occupancy Guidelines for determining dwelling unit size shall be applied in a manner consistent with Fair Housing guidelines.
For occupancy guidelines, an adult is a person 18 years or older.
All guidelines relate to the number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit. Dwelling units will be so assigned that:
One bedroom will be generally assigned for every two family members. The authority shall consider factors such as family characteristics including sex, age, or relationship, the number of bedrooms and the size of sleeping areas or bedrooms and the overall size of the dwelling unit. Consideration shall also be given for medical reasons and the presence of a live-in aide.
Single person families shall be allocated one bedroom.
