[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 24, Volume 4] [Revised as of April 1, 2003] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 24CFR902.50] [Page 268-269] TITLE 24--HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT PART 902--PUBLIC HOUSING ASSESSMENT SYSTEM--Table of Contents Subpart E--PHAS Indicator #4: Resident Service and Satisfaction Sec. 902.50 Resident service and satisfaction assessment. (a) Objective. The objective of the Resident Service and Satisfaction Indicator is to measure the level of resident satisfaction with living conditions at the PHA. (b) Method of assessment, generally. The assessment required under PHAS Indicator 4 will be performed through the use of a resident service and satisfaction survey. The survey process will be managed by the PHA in accordance with a methodology prescribed by HUD. The PHA will be responsible for completing implementation plan activities and developing a follow-up plan, if applicable, to address issues resulting from the survey, subject to independent audit. (c) PHA certification of completion of resident survey process. (1) At the completion of the resident survey process as described in this subpart, a PHA will be audited as part of the Independent Audit to ensure that the resident survey process has been managed as directed by HUD. PHAs are required to submit and certify their implementation plans electronically via the internet prior to the fiscal year end in accordance with Sec. 902.60(d). Follow-up plans, if applicable, must be made available for review and inspection at the principal office of the PHA during [[Page 269]] normal business hours as a supporting document to the PHA's Annual Plan in accordance with Sec. 903.23(d) of this title. The PHA must certify electronically that it will develop a follow-up plan, if applicable. (2) If circumstances preclude the PHA from reporting electronically, HUD will consider granting short-term approval to allow a PHA to submit its resident service and satisfaction certification manually. A PHA that seeks approval to submit the certification manually must ensure that REAC receives the PHA's written request for manual submission two months before the submission due date of its resident service and satisfaction certification. The written request must include the reasons why the PHA cannot submit the certification electronically. REAC will respond to the PHA's request and will manually forward its determination in writing to the PHA.
