If the Agency determines that a Contract unit is not decent, safe, and sanitary by reason of increase in
Family size, or that a contract unit is larger than appropriate for the size of the Family in occupancy,
housing assistance payments with respect to the unit will not be abated; however, the Owner must offer
the Family a suitable alternative unit should one be available and the Family will be required to move.
If the Owner does not have a suitable available unit, the Agency will assist the Family in finding an
appropriate dwelling unit and require the Family to move to such a unit as soon as possible. In no case
will a Family be forced to move unless the Family rejects without good reason the offer of a unit which
the Agency judges to be acceptable.
