The 1998 Public Housing Reform Act
allowed the mixed-finance development of public housing units. This
meant that Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) could create public
housing projects using public housing capital funds and outside
sources of funds, subject to HUD's approval. This Information
Collection pertains to the information that HUD collects in order
to perform due diligence on and approve the mixed-finance
development of public housing prior to a financial closing and the
start of construction or rehabilitation activities. Applicants
describe ownership, the type, size, and number of units,
construction schedule, construction and permanent financing,
property management, how public housing operating subsidy will be
provided to the project and other operation plans.
