	24.7(2) Reporting of changes. The applicant or the applicant’s designated responsible party as certified in the application is required to report to the authority any changes that may affect eligibility within ten business days of the occurrence of the change. Failure to do so may result in the applicant’s responsibility to repay HCBS rent subsidy funds and termination of the HCBS rent subsidy.
