Public Housing Evaluation and Oversight: Changes to the Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) and Determining and Remedying Performance Deficiencies

Document 2024-25469 is a Proposed Rule published by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in the Federal Register on November 4, 2024. The Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) governs the assessments, evaluation, and oversight of public housing agencies (PHAs) administering public housing. This proposed rule would revise the weight of PHAS performance indicators to emphasize the importance of occupancy, financial condition, and physical assessments. To the greatest extent possible, scoring indicators would be based on measurable program outcomes and data that is already available to HUD. Additionally, the proposed revisions would allow HUD to respond more quickly and effectively to performance deficiencies when they are first identified, to intervene based on trending performance data, and to delay scoring or assessments when appropriate.
