The public housing lease and grievance
procedures are a recordkeeping requirement on the part of public
housing agencies (PHAs) as they are required to enter into and
maintain lease agreements for each individual or family that
occupies a public housing unit. Also, both PHAs and tenants are
required to follow the protocols set forth in the grievance
procedures for both an informal and formal grievance
hearing.
The number of responses and
respondents decreased due to the estimated number of new admissions
and households who changed units subsequently executing a new
lease. The reduction in burden hours is attributable to a fewer
number of tenants in public housing covered by these lease and
grievance procedures.
