Abstract: Under the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS), public housing agencies (PHAs) may submit a request for a technical review, database adjustment or appeal. The granting of such a request would result in a PHA's PHAS score and/or designation being changed, or a project's physical condition, financial condition, or management operations score being changed. The right of appeal is statutory and the right to request a technical review or database adjustment is regulatory.
