REAC manages the Inventory Management System (IMS) / Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC). Select the link below for valuable information on this system.
- PIC-NG Information (PIC-NG Info)
PIC-NG is being designed to reduce administrative burden on housing authorities in the collection of HUD form 50058 tenant data, Public Housing building and unit inventory data, and Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) information.
- PIC-NG Developer Information (PIC-NG Dev Info)
PIC-NG Developer Information is being developed by a team of in-house REAC developers according to an agile scrum methodology. REAC will use this site to provide technical updates for PHA pesonnel and vendors responsible for interfacing with the future PIC-NG system. Until PIC-NG is implemented nationwide, REAC is unable to provide technical support for the development of vendor software, which interfaces with PIC-NG.
