SUMMARY:
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Voucher Management System (VMS).
OMB Approval Number: 2577–0282.
Type of Request: Revision of a
previously approved collection.
Form Number: HUD- 52672, 52681,
52681–B, 52663 and 52673.
Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) that
administer the Housing Choice Voucher
(HCV) Program are required to maintain
financial reports in accordance with
accepted accounting standards in order
to permit timely and effective audits.
The HUD–52672 (Supporting Data for
Annual Contributions Estimates Section
8 Housing Assistance Payments
Program) and 52681 (Voucher for
Payment of Annual Contributions and
Operating Statement Housing
Assistance Payments Program) financial
records identify the amount of annual
contributions that are received and
disbursed by the PHA and are used by
PHAs that administer the 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 Housing Assistance
Payments (HAP) expenses by voucher
category, as well as data concerning

escrow accounts, PHA-held equity, etc.
The inclusion, change, and deletion of
the fields 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
disbursements in a timely manner, and
reconciliations for overages and
shortages on a quarterly basis.
Respondents: Public Housing
Authorities (PHA).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,185.
Estimated Number of Responses:
