• Shortfall Tier 1: For PHAs with a Months of Operating Reserves (MOR) ratio less than zero. 
   
  I, ________________________, hereby certify to the following: 

1. Information submitted to HUD systems including, but not limited to, the Financial Assessment Subsystem (FASS), Financial Data Schedule (FDS), and Public Housing Information Center (PIC), used in the computation of the Months of Operating Reserves and Shortfall Eligibility found in the Shortfall Notice is complete and accurate. Further, the information provided via these systems supports the conclusion that the PHA is in a shortfall position and eligible for Shortfall funding in accordance with the Shortfall Notice.  

2. If submitting an appeal, that the financial documentation and calculations provided by the PHA to support the basis of the appeal are accurate, complete, and truthful. 

3. The PHA acknowledges that any funds not drawn down and expended within the period of performance will be recaptured by HUD. 

4. The PHA understands that Shortfall funding can only be used to pay for immediate needs. 

5. The PHA agrees to collaborate with HUD in the development of an improvement plan, to submit a Shortfall budget, and to undertake reasonable cost saving or revenue increasing measure to improve its financial condition in accordance with the Shortfall Notice.
   
   

• Shortfall Tier 2: For PHAs with a Months of Operating Reserves (MOR) ratio greater than or equal to zero.  

  

I, ________________________, hereby certify to the following: 

1. That I will comply with all the requirements listed in Shortfall Scenario 1. 

2. If that PHA is receiving Shortfall funding to raise their MOR above zero, the PHA must maintain an MOR as specified in the current year’s Shortfall Notice. Note that, for the last-funded Tier 2 PHA, if that PHA receives only partial funding an alternative requirement will apply. The last funded PHA will have to demonstrate an MOR that is equal to the MOR achieved when adding Tier 1 and the first increment of Tier 2 funding.
