Type of Request: New collection.
Form Numbers: Financial Forms:
HUD–52672, 52681, 52681–B, 52663
and 52673. Originally, the HCV

Office of Management and Budget

five-year Mainstream Program, MOD
Rehab, and Single Room Occupancy.
Form HUD–52663 (Suggested Format for
Requisition for Partial Payment of
Annual Contributions Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Program)
provides for PHAs to indicate requested
funds and monthly amounts. Form
HUD–52673 (Estimate of Total Required
Annual Contributions Section 8
Housing Assistance Payments Program)
allows PHAs to estimate their total
required annual contributions. The
required financial statements are similar
to those prepared by any responsible
business or organization.
The automated form HUD–52681–B
(Voucher for Payment of Annual
Contributions and Operating Statement
Housing Assistance Payments Program
Supplemental Reporting Form) is
entered by the PHA into the Voucher
Management System (VMS) on a
monthly basis during each calendar year
to track leasing and HAP expenses by
voucher category, as well as data
concerning fraud recovery, Family SelfSufficiency escrow accounts, PHA-held
equity, etc. The inclusion, change, and
deletion of the fields mentioned below
will improve the allocation of funds and
allow the PHAs and the Department to
realize a more complete picture of the
PHAs’ resources and program activities,
promote financial accountability, and
improve the PHAs’ ability to provide
assistance to as many households as
possible while maximizing budgets. In
addition, the fields will be crucial to the
identification of actual or incipient
financial problems that will ultimately
affect funding for program participants.
The automated form HUD–52681–B is
also utilized by the same programs as
the manual forms.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The
Voucher Management System (VMS)
supports the information management
needs of the Housing Choice Voucher
(HCV) Program and management
functions performed by the Financial
Management Center (FMC) and the
Financial Management Division (FMD)
of the Office of Public and Indian
Housing and the Real Estate Assessment
Center (PIH–REAC). This system’s
primary purpose is to provide a central
system to monitor and manage the
Public Housing Agency (PHAs) use of
vouchers and expenditure of program
funds, and is the base for budget
formulation and budget
implementation. The VMS collects
PHAs’ actual cost data that enables HUD
to perform and control cash
management activities; the costs
reported are the base for quarterly HAP
and Fee obligations and advance
