This regulation establishes a review process for consumers who are denied eligibility for a supported housing subsidy administered by the DC Department of Behavioral Health. Consumers have 15 business days to request a review, must provide a written statement and supporting documentation, and the Director must issue a written decision within 15 business days of receiving the request. This is an administrative appeals procedure and does not directly license or set operating standards for any specific level of care facility.
