The Public Housing Assessment System PHAS governs the assessments evaluation and oversight of public housing agencies PHAs administering public housing. This proposed rule would revise the weight of PHAS performance indicators to emphasize the importance of occupancy financial condition and physical assessments. To the greatest extent possible scoring indicators would be based on measurable program outcomes and data that is already available to HUD. Additionally the proposed revisions would allow HUD to respond more quickly and effectively to performance deficiencies when they are first identified to intervene based on trending performance data and to delay scoring or assessments when appropriate.
