provides for PHAs to indicate requested
funds and monthly amounts. Form
HUD–52673 (Estimate of Total Required

required annual contributions. The
required financial statements are similar

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

improve the PHAs’ ability to provide
assistance to as many households as
possible while maximizing budgets. In
