On February 20, HUD released two Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals in the Federal Register on the Public Housing Program. Each are extensions of previously approved forms.

The first is the Public Housing Operating Fund Program: Operating Budget and Related Form. HUD has not made any changes to the operating budget and related form. The form provides a record of PHA Board approval of the PHA operating budget and shows how the numbers were arrived at as well as justifications of certain specified amounts. HUD then reviews the form.

The second is the appeals process for Public Housing Operating Subsidy. PHAs are allowed to appeal the subsidy amount provided to them by HUD if they feel that amount is incorrect. There are no changes to the form from prior years.

If you wish to submit comments on the forms, they are due to HUD April 22, 2019.
