PHAs are required to submit annual and 5-Year Plans to HUD as required by section 5A of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437c-1) The purpose of the plan is to provide a framework for local accountability and an easily identifiable source by which public housing residents, participants in the tenant-based assistance program, and other members of the public may locate basic PHA policies, rules and requirments concerning the PHA's operations, programs and services.
With this revision to the PHA Plan information collection, HUD seeks to address new Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) requirements, address new regulatory requirements and include minor edits and additions which were inadvertently omitted from the prior revision of this collection. The new forms include the following features:
⢠Provided instructions to PHAâs with plans to remove all ACC units from its public housing inventory through RAD
⢠Incorporated a reference to the âSample PHA Plan Amendmentâ found in RAD Notice PIH-2012-32 REV-2, into the Significant Amendment Instructions.
o Forms HUD-50075-5Y, HUD-50075-HP, HUD-50075-SM, HUD-50075-ST
⢠Modified applicable forms as needed to reference or otherwise address the new requirements of the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) final rule
o Forms HUD-50075-5Y, HUD-50075-HCV, HUD-50075-HP, HUD-50075-SM, HUD-50075-ST,
o HUD-50077-CRT-SM, HUD-50077-ST-HCV-HP, HUD-50077-SL
o Form HUD 50077-CR remains unchanged
⢠Re-introduced as a part of the templates, âChallenged Elementsâ
o Forms HUD-50075-5Y, HUD-50075-HCV, HUD-50075-HP, HUD-50075-SM, HUD-50075-ST
⢠Removed obsolete references to OMB circulars located in select certification forms that were replaced by OMBâs Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements in 2 CFR 200
o HUD-50077-CRT-SM, HUD-50077-ST-HCV-HP
⢠Expanded the instructions and template to correct typos as well as missing and incorrect information in the current templates.
o Forms HUD-50075-HP, HUD-50075-SM, HUD-50075-ST,
⢠Removed the HUD-50075.1 and HUD-50075.2 Capital Fund Annual Statement/Performance and Evaluation Report and 5-Year Action Plan forms and associated burden hours (10,070) due to the de-coupling of Capital Fund Program activities from the PHA Plan submissions. The forms and burden hours will be added to the approval for the Capital Fund Program under OMB no. 2577-0157.
The total reduction in annual burden hours reflects a reduction in the current total number of PHAs or respondents from 4,053 to 3,819.
