Will I definitely get into government-assisted housing if I am successful in challenging the initial denial?

No, not necessarily. If you are successful, you could get admitted into housing, but you might just get another review of the facts or another hearing—which could help you get in, or could still result in denial.[1355] What you will get, if successful, is a fairer hearing.

    Special Note for Advocates: This section cites cases involving denial or termination from federally assisted housing. Note: There may be cases from other social welfare programs that also may be used to build an applicant’s case. Such cases are not included in this discussion, as they are beyond the scope of this manual.
