Title: Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) Revised Performance Indicators and Assessments (FR-6463) | |
Abstract:
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 occupancy, financial, and physical 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. HUD held a series of nine listening sessions on the Section Eight Management Assessment Program with PHAs, industry groups, advocates, and program participants from October 2022 through February 2023. Four in person sessions were held for PHAs with 10-25 PHAs attending each session in Atlanta (10/25/2022), Boston (11/27/2022), Seattle (11/15/2022), and Kansas City (11/17/2022). Virtual listening sessions were held for PHAs on December 6th, 8th, and 14th 2022 with approximately 10-15 PHAs attending each. HUD also hosted a session for industry groups and advocates on December 12, 2022, and for program participants on February 21, 2023, with approximately 25 attendees at each of these sessions. |
