According to the Department of
Housing & Community Development, everyone participating in the Rental Assistance
Program must be re-certified on an annual basis or when their income or family
situation changes, and must verify their income, assets and deductions.
As such, please completely
fill out an Application for Continued Occupancy
and return to the Attleboro Housing Authority Office.
Failure to follow all of the instructions could result in termination of your
lease.
Below are definitions of what
documents will be accepted as proof of income and a checklist for your use in
providing the correct information. Please
note that you MUST report income for everyone in your household over the age of 18
years and they must also sign a “Release Form”. If such persons do not have income, they must
provide us with a signed “Statement of No Income Form”. If you require additional forms, both of
these can be picked up at the Office. Keep in
mind that we will verify income of all household members over the age of 18 years.
