CHAPTER IX--OFFICE OF ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC AND INDIAN HOUSING, 
               DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
 
PART 960--ADMISSION TO, AND OCCUPANCY OF, PUBLIC HOUSING--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart F--When Resident Must Perform Community Service Activities or 
                    Self-Sufficiency Work Activities
 
Sec. 960.605  How PHA administers service requirements.

    (a) PHA policy. Each PHA must develop a local policy for 
administration of the community service and economic self-sufficiency 
requirements for public housing residents.
    (b) Administration of qualifying community service or self-
sufficiency activities for residents. The PHA may administer qualifying 
community service or economic self-sufficiency activities directly, or 
may make such activities available through a contractor, or through 
partnerships with qualified organizations, including resident 
organizations, and community agencies or institutions.
    (c) PHA responsibilities. (1) The PHA policy must describe how the 
PHA determines which family members are subject to or exempt from the 
service requirement, and the process for determining any changes to 
exempt or non-exempt status of family members.
    (2) The PHA must give the family a written description of the 
service requirement, and of the process for claiming status as an exempt 
person and for PHA verification of such status. The PHA must also notify 
the family of its determination identifying the family members who are 
subject to the service requirement, and the family members who are 
exempt persons.
    (3) The PHA must review family compliance with service requirements, 
and must verify such compliance annually at least thirty days before the 
end of the twelve month lease term. If qualifying activities are 
administered by an organization other than the PHA, the PHA shall obtain 
verification of family compliance from such third parties.
