Management Operations Certification
The PHAS interim rule was published by the Department on February 23, 2011. The interim rule removes a PHA’s requirement of submitting self-certified management indicators under the form 50072. During the interim rule period PHA’s no longer need to submit the MASS data with board resolution and approval to attain a MASS score for its PHAS assessment. During the interim rule period a PHA’s MASS score will be created by using data submitted in a PHA’s unaudited and audited financial statements. The three indicators that the Department is now assessing a PHA’s management performance on are Occupancy, Tenant Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. For further guidance please visit the Departments PHAS Interim Rule web page.
