Housing reserves. Funding is allocated
to raise PHAs’ reserves to two months
of expenses. The calculation that
determines this value is outlined in
Section 4 of the Shortfall Notice: PIH–
2021–12. Along with the infusion of
funds, PHAs create Improvement Plans
to improve their financial situation and
address financial issues. However,
without a Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) approved information collection,
it is difficult to monitor the PHAs
financial changes and successes in an
expeditious way. OMB requested that
PIH begin to collect enough information
from PHAs to evaluate the efficacy of
the program in improving PHA’s
financial situation. This PRA
information collection is being
submitted to improve the effectiveness
of the program (through monitoring and
risk management) which ultimately
helps the PHAs reach sustainable
financial success. This PRA information
collection will include a short-form
