CFR Part 906-Section 5(h) Homeownership Program is authorized by

Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) are required to submit to HUD the dates

5(h) is sold. The information is currently collected electronically in
the Public and Indian Housing Information Center (PIC). The sections in
the regulation that impose information collection requirements are as
follows: 24 CFR Section 906.17, which requires PHAs to maintain records
(including sales and financial records) for all activities incident to
implementation of the HUD-approved homeownership plan. Applicable
portions of the regulations are attached.
For HUD-approved homeownership plans, PHAs will maintain records
which may be subject to audit by HUD and the Government Accounting
Office (GAO).
