The RASS follow-up plan is a supporting document for the PHA Plan and is to be displayed as such. It is also to be retained in the PHA's office for 3 years, and available for reviw by HUD auditors or representatives of a duly constituted resident organization. PHA Plans must be submitted to HUD 75 days in advance of a PHA's fiscal year start date. The Certifications can be found on the certifications page.
Certifications are necessary for plan approval.
However, these PHAs must add some information not currently captured in the template. This information includes a description of how they will implement Community Service and information about the PHA's pet policy. Notice 99-51 reminded PHAs to submit certifications that PHAs must make before they are eligible to receive federal funds covered by the PHA Plan. Because the Plan contains the funding requests for multiple HUD programs, submission of these documents simply completes the package. However, because these requests are submitted simultaneously, it offers the opportunity to combine certifications for multiple programs on one copy of each form.
