Public Housing Agencies (PHA) are
required to keep records for implementation of Federal regulations
governing dwelling leases in public housing. The information is
retained by the PHAs that manage public housing and is used for
operating purposes.
The number of respondents only
includes combined PHAs which administer both the public housing and
the Housing Choice Voucher programs, and PHAs that administer only
the public housing program. Thus, a PHA is responsible for entering
into a lease agreement with each of its public housing residents;
and for reviewing/updating the lease based upon an annual
reexamination of income and/or other changes to the lease such as a
change in family composition (e.g., an increase/decrease in
household members). The lease establishes the effective date that a
tenant occupies a public housing unit. Also, each respondent is
responsible for the processing and handling of both informal and
formal grievances. However, the filing of the grievance itself is
originated by the individual tenant. Thus, the increase in burden
hours takes into account the total number of public housing
residents in occupancy along with the hours involved in a PHAs
handling of public housing tenant grievances.
