2577-AC95 201610 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2577 Office of Public and Indian Housing PIH 2500 Department of Housing and Urban Development HUD Aligning the Public Housing Assessment System and Section 8 Management Assessment Program: Section 8 Public Housing Assessment System (SEPHAS) (FR-5860)

This proposed rule would revise HUD’s Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) regulations and Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) regulations governing the assessments, evaluation and oversight of public housing agencies (PHAs) administering public housing and Section 8 programs. Under the proposed rule performance would focus on key indicators such as occupancy, financial, and physical assessments. To the greatest extent possible, scoring indicators would be based on measurable program outcomes based on data that is already available to HUD as opposed to being process oriented. The proposed rule will also seek to align SEMAP and PHAS scoring indicators and reduce or eliminate the reliance on PHA self-certifications as a verification method of PHA performance.
