HUD HCV Guidebook § 3.1.2

PHAs may deny a family’s request to move under the following program regulations:
        1. The family’s action or failure to act as described in 24 CFR 982.552 or 982.553. For example, a
           move may be denied if the family breaches an agreement with the PHA to pay amounts owed to
           the PHA.
        2. The request to move does not comply with the PHA’s policies on the timing and frequency of
           moves in accordance with 24 CFR 982.354(c)(2). These policies include prohibiting any move by
           the family within the initial lease term and prohibiting more than one move by the family during
           any one-year period. A PHA must14 not establish a policy that restricts families from moving only at
           the time of their annual reexamination. These policies must 15 be consistent with applicable civil
           rights laws and regulations.
