Abstract: Public Housing Authorities' (PHA) application for funding to a assist very low-income families to lease or purchase housing. PHAs maintain records on participant eligibility, until acceptability, lease and/or housing assistance payments, and budget and payment documentation.

Emergency Justfication: This request for emergency processing is essential for the immediate identification and correction of incipient and actual financial shortfalls of Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) that will threaten the participation of qualified families. The Department requests the addition of four fields to VMS as a part of our prevention strategy: NET Restricted Assets (NRA), Unrestricted Net Assets (UNA), Cash/Investments, and the number of vouchers issued but not under active housing assistance payments (HAP) contract.
