CHAT (Citizens Road Home Action Team) has posted the full list of rules and deadlines for Road Home appeals.

During the appeal process, Road Home must call you every 15 days from the time they received your appeal letter to give you any updates and an opportunity for feedback. You get a second chance to appeal if you write to them stating that you disagree with their decision. Within 60 days of receiving your letter, the State Review Panel must give you a decision in writing. Download the .pdf for official rules and deadlines.
