A Public Housing Agency (PHA) which is
designated Troubled or substandard under the Public Housing
Assessment System (PHAS) must enter into a Memorandum of Agreement
(MOA) with HUD to outline its planned improvements. Similarly, a
PHA which is a standard performer, but receives a total PHAS score
between 70% and 60% must submit an Improvement Plan (IP). These
plans are designed to address deficiencies in a PHA's operations
found through the PHAS assessment process (management, financial,
physical, or resident related) and any other deficiencies
identified by HUD through independent assessments or other
methods.
The reduction in burden hours
reflects a fewer number of PHAs with current PHAS scores below the
thresholds prompting the requirements for Memorandum of Agreements
MOAs and Improvements Plans (IPs). The decrease in the burden hours
used in this renewal resulted from the decrease in troubled PHAs
from the 2008 renewal. In 2008, the Department used 201 troubled
PHAs in calculating the burden hours for this collections tool.
However, preparing for this renewal actual data from 2008 through
2010 demonstrated that the average number of troubled PHAs is 172.
Therefore, since the number of inputs (troubled PHAs) was reduced,
the burden hours and costs for this collection tool reduced. No
other aspects of this form or tool have been altered. The average
number of troubled PHAs being reduced during the period of 2008 and
2010 can be attributed transition year one and two scoring as the
Department moves toward a new scoring model reflective of asset
management.
