SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the information collection described in
Section A. The Federal Register notice that solicited public comment on
the information collection for a period of 60 days was published on
October 3, 2024 at 89 FR 80591.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection: Public Housing Agency (PHA), Lease
Requirements, Recordkeeping Requirements.
OMB Approval Number: 2577-0006.
Type of Request: Revision with change of a currently approved
collection.
Form Number: NA.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
Public Housing (PH) dwelling lease and grievance procedures are
required by the United States Housing Act of 1937, specifically under
Sections 6(k) and 6(l). These sections outline requirements such as
establishing administrative grievance procedures for Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs), utilizing leases with a 12-month term automatically
renewed except for specific noncompliance instances, and specifying
lease provisions for families paying the alternative non-public housing
rent (alternative rent). Detailed regulations can be found in 24 CFR
part 966--Public Housing Lease and Grievance Procedure, Subpart A--
Dwelling Leases, Procedures, and Subpart B--Grievance Procedures and
Requirements. Upon renting and receiving rental housing assistance,
residents must sign a lease and acknowledge the grievance procedures,
as outlined by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
PHAs are responsible for maintaining records and following these
procedures, ensuring consistency with HUD's legal and administrative
obligations.
The implementation of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization
Act of 2016 (HOTMA) created new lease requirements in both section 24
CFR 960.507 and 24 CFR 960.509 and made modifications to section 24 CFR
966.4 (a)(2)(iii). PHAs must now modify the PH lease to become month-
to-month in the period before termination of an over-income family and
24 CFR 960.509 explains the new lease requirements for Non-Public
Housing Over-Income (NPHOI) families. 24 CFR 960.509 stipulates that
over-income families permitted to continue as tenants must pay the
alternative rent and sign the lease for NPHOI families no later than
either the next lease renewal or 60 days after receiving the third
notification outlined in 24 CFR 960.507(c)(3), whichever comes first.
HUD specifies various provisions required in leases for NPHOI families,
including details about lease parties, duration, covered costs, renewal
or termination procedures, tenant rent and potential charges, usage
rights, PHA and tenant responsibilities, repair and access obligations,
lease termination processes, grievance procedures, and modification
protocols.
