Title: Physical Needs Assessment (FR-5361) 
Abstract: This rule would revise the physical needs assessment (PNA) requirements for public housing agencies (PHAs). The need for PHAs to engage in strategic planning has increased considerably over the past decade as PHAs have become increasingly active in utilizing a variety of forms of financing to modernize and develop public housing. While such which financing creates opportunity, also it carries with it certain costs and long-term future obligations. In addition, PHAs are required to transition to an asset-based accounting and management model, which transition further highlights the need for strategic planning over a long-term period. This proposed rule will require PHAs to project the current modernization and life-cycle replacement repair needs over a 20-year period in accordance with the useful life of individual properties and their building components and systems to ensure the long-term viability of the property. This rule would also synchronize the performance of the PNA with the performance of an energy audit. Additionally, in accordance with the asset-management, or project-based, model for managing PHAs, the physical needs would be assessed for each project, with a summary for the whole PHA.
