Submission

Is the RASS follow-up plan supposed to be submitted with the PHA Plan?

No. The RASS follow-up plan is a supporting document for the PHA Plan and is to be displayed as such. It is also to be retained in the PHA's office for 3 years, and available for review by HUD auditors or representatives of a duly constituted resident organization.

When is my plan due for submission to HUD?

PHA Plans must be submitted to HUD 75 days in advance of a PHA's fiscal year start date.

Do I need to mail any certifications when I submit the PHA Plans to HUD?

Yes, certifications must be mailed to your local HUD office when the PHA Plans have been electronically submitted to HUD. The Certifications can be found on the certifications page. Certifications are necessary for plan approval.

Grant-related Certifications

Which programs are covered by the grant-related certifications?

At this time, only the Capital Fund is covered by the grant-related certifications. In the future other funds addressed in the PHA Plan may be included in these uniform, grant-related certifications.

If my PHA does not plan to receive Capital Fund (e.g., Sec. 8 only PHAs, or those that only receive operating subsidy), am I required to submit the grant-related certifications?

Not with the PHA Plan. These certifications are only required for PHAs requesting Capital Funds. (Instructions for applications for other HUD funding may require these certifications to be submitted with those applications, however.)

The guidance says the SF-LLL and LLLa should be submitted "as necessary." Are PHAs required to submit the SF-LLL and LLLa every year?

No. The SF-LLL contains instructions on when it must be submitted-basically, whenever a PHA undertakes a covered action. If the PHA has not undertaken a covered action, they need not submit the form.

Does my PHA have to submit the Form HUD 50070 if we submitted it with last year's funds?

Yes. PHAs must submit new forms with each year’s funding request.
