Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Statute requires HUD to ensure the low-income character of public
housing projects and to assure that sound management practices will be
followed in the operation of the project. Public Housing Agencies
(PHAs) enter into an Annual Contribution Contract (ACC) with HUD to
assist low-income tenants. HUD regulations, Part 960, provide policies
and procedures for PHAs to administer the low-income housing program
for admission and occupancy. PHAs must develop and keep on file the
admission and occupancy policies and the PHA must include in the annual
plan or supporting documents the number and location of the units to be
occupied by police officers, and the terms and conditions of their
tenancies; and a statement that such occupancy is needed to increase
security for public housing residents. PHA compliance will support the
statute; and, HUD can ensure that the low-income character of the
project and sound management practices will be followed.
Agency form number, if applicable: Not applicable.
Members of affected public: Individual or households, State, Local
or Tribal Government.
