The Department seeks to identify
families who no longer participate in a
HUD rental assistance program due to
adverse termination of tenancy and/or
assistance, and owe a debt to a Public
Housing Agency (PHA). In accordance
with 24 CFR 982.552 and 960.203, the
PHA may deny admission to a program
if the family is not suitable for tenancy
for reasons such as, but not limited to:
Unacceptable past performance in
meeting financial obligations, history of
criminal activity, eviction from
Federally assisted housing in the last
five years, family has committed fraud,
bribery, or any other corrupt or criminal
act in connection with a Federal
housing program, or if a family
currently owes rent or other amounts to
the PHA or to another PHA in
connection with a Federally assisted
housing program under the U.S.
Housing Act of 1937.
Within the scope of this collection of
information, HUD seeks to collect from
all PHAs, the following information:
1. Amount of debt owed by a former
tenant to a PHA;
2. If applicable, indication of executed
repayment agreement;
3. If applicable, indication of
bankruptcy filing;
4. If applicable, the reason for any
adverse termination of the family from
a Federally assisted housing program.
This information is collected
electronically from PHAs via HUD’s EIV
system. This information is used by
HUD to create a national repository of
families that owe a debt to a PHA and/
or have been terminated from a federally
assisted housing program. This national
repository is available within the EIV
system for all PHAs to access during the
time of application for rental assistance.
PHAs are able to access this information
to determine a family’s suitability for
rental assistance, and avoid providing
limited Federal housing assistance to
families who have previously been
unable to comply with HUD program
requirements. If this information is not
collected, the Department is at risk of
paying limited Federal dollars on behalf
of families who may not be eligible to
receive rental housing assistance.
Furthermore, if this information is not
collected, the public will perceive that
there are no consequences for a family’s
failure to comply with HUD program
requirements.
Respondents: Public Housing
Agencies.
