# §960.607. Assuring resident compliance.

- (a) **Acceptable documentation demonstrating compliance.**
  - (1) If qualifying activities are administered by an organization other than the PHA, a family member who is required to fulfill a service requirement must provide one of the following:
    - (i) A signed certification to the PHA by such other organization that the family member has performed such qualifying activities; or
    - (ii) A signed self-certification to the PHA by the family member that he or she has performed such qualifying activities.
  - (2) The signed self-certification must include the following:
    - (i) A statement that the tenant contributed at least 8 hours per month of community service not including political activities within the community in which the adult resides; or participated in an economic self-sufficiency program (as that term is defined in [24 CFR 5.603(b)](/cfr/24/5.603.md?p=b)) for at least 8 hours per month;
    - (ii) The name, address, and a contact person at the community service provider; or the name, address, and contact person for the economic self-sufficiency program;
    - (iii) The date(s) during which the tenant completed the community service activity, or participated in the economic self-sufficiency program;
    - (iv) A description of the activity completed; and
    - (v) **A certification that the tenant's statement is true.**
  - (3) If a PHA accepts self-certifications under [paragraph (a)(1)(ii)](#a-1-ii) of this section, the PHA must validate a sample of such self-certifications using third-party certification described in [paragraph (a)(1)(i)](#a-1-i) of this section.
- (b) **PHA notice of noncompliance.**
  - (1) If the PHA determines that there is a family member who is required to fulfill a service requirement, but who has violated this family obligation (noncompliant resident), the PHA must notify the tenant of this determination.
  - (2) **The PHA notice to the tenant must—**
    - (i) Briefly describe the noncompliance;
    - (ii) State that the PHA will not renew the lease at the end of the twelve month lease term unless:
      - (A) The tenant, and any other noncompliant resident, enter into a written agreement with the PHA, in the form and manner required by the PHA, to cure such noncompliance, and in fact cure such noncompliance in accordance with such agreement; or
      - (B) The family provides written assurance satisfactory to the PHA that the tenant or other noncompliant resident no longer resides in the unit.
    - (iii) State that the tenant may request a grievance hearing on the PHA determination, in accordance with [part 966](/cfr/24/part966.md), [subpart B](/cfr/24/subpartB.md) of this chapter, and that the tenant may exercise any available judicial remedy to seek timely redress for the PHA's nonrenewal of the lease because of such determination.
- (c) **Tenant agreement to comply with service requirement.** If the tenant or another family member has violated the service requirement, the PHA may not renew the lease upon expiration of the term unless:
  - (1) The tenant, and any other noncompliant resident, enter into a written agreement with the PHA, in the form and manner required by the PHA, to cure such noncompliance by completing the additional hours of community service or economic self-sufficiency activity needed to make up the total number of hours required over the twelve-month term of the new lease, and
  - (2) All other members of the family who are subject to the service requirement are currently complying with the service requirement or are no longer residing in the unit.
