program. When the voucher program
was first implemented in the 1970s, the
system for reimbursing PHAs for the
costs of program administration was
loosely based on empirical evidence.
Over time, however, the system for
estimating and allocating fees has
become more complex and—in some
ways—more arbitrary, as HUD and
Congress have tried to balance fairness
with cost savings, while trying to avoid
large year-to-year swings in funding for
PHA staffs. The Housing Choice
Voucher Program Administrative Fee
Study is designed to evaluate the
amount of funding needed to administer
the voucher program based on direct
measurement of the work actually
performed by voucher administrators.
The study will measure and identify the
tasks performed by PHA staff to meet
program requirements, to assist voucher
holders in finding and renting suitable
housing in a timely way, and to ensure
that a broad range of affordable rental
housing throughout the community is
available to voucher families. The study
will identify the costs involved in each
task, including salaries, benefits, and
overhead. Ultimately, the findings of the
study will be used to inform the
development of a new formula for
allocating HCV program administrative
fees.

information:
Title of Proposal: Housing Choice
Voucher Program Administrative Fee
Study Pretest.
OMB Approval Number: 2528–0267.
Form Numbers: None.
Description of the Need for the
Information and its Proposed Use: The
Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program
is the federal government’s largest lowincome housing assistance program. As
of 2010, the Housing Choice Voucher
program serves more than 2 million
households, at a total subsidy cost of
$18.2 billion per year. The HCV
program is administered federally by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development and locally by
approximately 2,400 local, state, and
regional housing agencies, known
collectively as public housing agencies
(PHAs). Funding for the HCV program is
provided entirely by the federal
government. The funding that PHAs
receive includes the housing subsidy
itself, plus administrative fees to cover
the costs of running the program. When
the voucher program was first
implemented in the 1970s, the system
for reimbursing PHAs for the costs of
program administration was loosely
based on empirical evidence. Over time,
however, the system for estimating and
allocating fees has become more
complex and—in some ways—more
arbitrary, as HUD and Congress have
tried to balance fairness with cost
savings, while trying to avoid large yearto-year swings in funding for PHA staffs.
The Housing Choice Voucher Program
Administrative Fee Study is designed to
evaluate the amount of funding needed
to administer the voucher program
based on direct measurement of the
work actually performed by voucher
administrators. The study will measure
and identify the tasks performed by
PHA staff to meet program
requirements, to assist voucher holders
in finding and renting suitable housing
in a timely way, and to ensure that a
broad range of affordable rental housing
throughout the community is available
to voucher families. The study will
identify the costs involved in each task,
including salaries, benefits, and
overhead. Ultimately, the findings of the
study will be used to inform the
development of a new formula for
allocating HCV program administrative
fees.
