This Housing Stabilization Notice discusses how to address additional adult household members. Each EA household must contain at least one adult (over the age of 18) and one or more children (under the age of 21), which can include an unborn child for a pregnant woman. Many households have more than one adult household member. Division of Housing Stabilization ("DHS") regulations provide the Division with considerable discretion in determining whether additional household members should be included in the household composition of the EA household. This Notice provides guidance on how to exercise that discretion when treating additional adult household members as separate individuals.

Also attached are the following forms:

• PAAHM-1 (5/2010)  Request to Add Proposed Additional Adult Household Member to EA Household
• PAAHM-2 (5/2010)  Notice of Approval or Denial of Request to Add Proposed Additional Adult Household Member to EA Household
