How To Represent a Tenant in a Boston Housing Authority (BHA) Transfer Case
This training will cover how to represent a public housing tenant in a Boston Housing Authority (BHA) emergency transfer request or appeal. VLP takes BHA emergency transfer cases in which a disabled public housing tenant needs to be transferred to a different BHA unit as a reasasonable accommodation, and cases in which a household member is being threatened or has a safety concern, and a transfer would allow the tenant to move to a safer environment. We will cover topics including the different types of BHA transfers, the BHA transfer application and appeal process, transfer eligibility, how to make a transfer and Reasonable Accomodation request, and how to obtain medical documentation that best supports emergency transfer requests and appeals.
