Checklist for Completion
How do you know if your plan is complete? Use the following checklist
to ensure that the PHA Plan is complete and ready for submission:
Once these steps have been completed by the PHA, the plan should
be ready for electronic submission to HUD.
Supporting Documentation
The supporting documents to the Plan are an essential part of
the PHA Plan. The supporting documents to the PHA Plan comprise
the PHA's comprehensive library of information about operations,
policies and procedures of the PHA. In addition, these documents
provide context to the information summarized within the PHA Plan.
Although all required supporting documents are subject to normal
HUD review and audit, PHAs are not required to submit supporting
documents to HUD as part of the PHA Plan, and they are not part
of the Plan itself.
However, all supporting documents (along with the PHA Plan and
attachments) must be available for inspection and review by the
public at the principal office of the PHA during normal business
hours, both during the 45-day public review period prior to the
board hearing and submission to HUD and after HUD approval of the
PHA Plan.
Troubleshooting problems and FAQs on electronic
submission
PHAs must submit the completed
template (Form HUD 50075) and required attachments electronically
through the Internet to HUD using the directions provided by HUD.
PHAs can find these step-by-step directions
on the PHA Plans web site.
How do you name the electronic file for submission?
It is important for PHAs to name their submitted Plans and attachments
correctly in order to ensure that the file is successfully transmitted
to the local HUD field office. Always use lowercase letters when
naming your plan. Note that Plans should be named using this same
naming convention each year the plan is submitted to HUD. The PHA
Plan file should be saved as: your PHA code, the letter 'v' and
the version number
How do you name the attachment files?
Attachment files should be named as: your PHA code, the letter
'a' for Attachment A, 'b' for attachment B, etc., and the version
number of the PHA Plan that you would like to attach the file.
Print out the technical directions
available through the PHA Plans web site and read through them before
you attempt to submit your plan electronically. Be sure you are
following the technical directions appropriate for the internet
browser on your computer. Note that there are two sets of instructions:
one for Microsoft Internet Explorer users, and one for Netscape
Communicator users.
If after attempting to transmit your file, you are still unsuccessful,
send an email explaining the problem to PIH_PHA_PLANS@hud.gov
for assistance.
