The format for forbearance tracking spreadsheets is available in the Notice PIH 99-2 Processing Guidelines . While Field Offices may wish to maintain large spreadsheets that track all of their PHAs, Headquarters only needs to know which PHAs submitted forbearance requests. To clarify any misunderstandings, Headquarters will e-mail to Field Offices the requested format for forbearance tracking spreadsheets. A PHA wants to apply for a grant under the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program.
Additional guidance is forthcoming.
The forbearance tracking spreadsheet you submit should be cumulative. In the next reporting period, you should note whether a PHA received forbearance for the second time. Yes, but Field Offices should notify the PHA that they are still below the minimum 85 percent reporting rate and that their forbearance request only covers the next semi-annual assessment reporting period. Field Offices should also provide technical support to PHAs on how to meet reporting targets. For the time being, while we complete this semi-annual assessment, Headquarters requests that Field Offices keep these PHAs on the forbearance tracking spreadsheet as a precaution.
