Abstract: Updates to the information collection on admission and occupancy requirements under the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act (QHWRA), the Public Housing Reform Act and the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA). The statutory requirement is also codified at 24 CFR Part 960. More recently, the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of 2016 (HOTMA), section 103, creates a new federally mandated policy for the Admission and Occupancy Requirements specific to the treatment of over-income families.

Short Statement: Adjustments made to this collection reflect changes in calculations based on the total number of current, active public housing agencies (PHAs) to date. The number of active public housing agencies has changed from 3,946 to 2,897 since the last approved information collection which inaccurately also included voucher only PHAs. In general, the number of PHAs can fluctuate due to many factors, including but not limited to the merging of two or more PHAs or the termination of the public housing programs due to the Rental Assistance Demonstration.
