OMB Control Number: 2577–0169. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use: 

Public Housing Agencies (PHA) will 

prepare an application for funding 

which specifies the number of units 

requested, as well as the PHA’s 

objectives and plans for administering 

the HCV program. The application is 

reviewed by the HUD Field Office and 

ranked according to the PHA’s 

administrative capability, the need for 

housing assistance, and other factors 

specified in the Notice of Funding 

Availability (NOFA). The PHAs must 

establish a utility allowance schedule 

for all utilities and other services. Units 

must be inspected using HUDprescribed forms to determine if the 

units meet the housing quality 

standards (HQS) of the HCV program. 

PHAs are also required to maintain 

financial reports in accordance with 

accepted accounting standards. The 

PHA is required to submit one financial 

document into an Internet-based 

Voucher Management System four times 

a year. After the family is issued a HCV 

to search for a unit, the family must 

complete and submit to the PHA a 

Request for Tenancy Approval when it 

finds a unit which is suitable for its 

needs. Initial PHAs will use a 

standardized form to submit portability 

information to the receiving PHA who 

will also use the form for monthly 

portability billing. PHAs and Owners 

will enter into HAP Contacts each 

providing information on rents, 

payments, certifications, notifications, 

and Owner agreement in a form 

acceptable to the PHA. A tenancy 

addendum is included in the HAP 

contract as well as incorporated in the 

lease between the owner and the family. 

Families that participate in the 

Homeownership program will execute a 

statement regarding their 

responsibilities and execute contracts of 

sale including an additional contract of 

sale for new construction units. PHAs 

that wish to voluntarily transfer their 

HCV programs will notify HUD for 

approval and, once approved, all 

affected families and owners of the 

divested PHA. PHAs participating in the 

Project-Based Voucher program will 

enter into Agreements with developing 

owners, HAP contacts with the existing 

and New Construction/Substantial 

Rehabilitation owners, Statement of 

Family Responsibility with the family 

and a lease Addendum will be provided 

for execution between the family and 

the owner.
