2577-AD14 202504 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2577 Office of Public and Indian Housing PIH 2500 Department of Housing and Urban Development HUD Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) Revised Performance Indicators and Assessments (FR-6463)

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