"Facts About Children" from HUD

Courtesy of HUD's Multifamily Housing Rental Housing Integrity Improvement Project Listserv, some "Facts About Children" that weren't in Dr. Spock:

1. Did you know that applicants must disclose social security numbers for all family members at least 6 years of age and older and provide proof of the numbers reported?
--Chapter 3, Eligibility for Assistance and Occupancy, Section 3-5 B of HUD Handbook 4350.3 Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs.
2. When determining the size of unit that would be appropriate for a particular family, the owner must count "Children in joint custody arrangements who are present in the household 50% or more of the time."
--Chapter 3, Eligibility for Assistance and Occupancy, Section 3-22 E6. b(6) of HUD Handbook 4350.3 Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs.

Yes, I know, there are umpteen excellent reasons not to find this depressing.
