Sec. 985.107  Required actions for PHA with troubled performance rating.

    (a) Required on-site review. Upon assigning an overall performance 
rating of troubled, HUD must conduct an on-site review of PHA program 
management to assess the magnitude and seriousness of the PHA's 
noncompliance with performance requirements.
    (b) HUD written report. HUD must provide the PHA a written report of 
its on-site review containing HUD findings of program management 
deficiencies,

the apparent reasons for the deficiencies, and recommendations for 
improvement.
    (c) PHA corrective action plan. Upon receipt of the HUD written 
report on its on-site review, the PHA must write a corrective action 
plan and submit it to HUD for approval. The corrective action plan must:
    (1) Specify goals to be achieved;
    (2) Identify obstacles to goal achievement and ways to eliminate or 
avoid them;
    (3) Identify resources that will be used or sought to achieve goals;
    (4) Identify an PHA staff person with lead responsibility for 
completing each goal;
    (5) Identify key tasks to reach each goal;
    (6) Specify time frames for achievement of each goal, including 
intermediate time frames to complete each key task; and
    (7) Provide for regular evaluation of progress toward improvement.
    (8) Be signed by the PHA board of commissioners chairperson and by 
the PHA executive director. If the PHA is a unit of local government or 
a state, the corrective action plan must be signed by the Section 8 
program director and by the chief executive officer of the unit of 
government or his or her designee.
    (d) Monitoring. The PHA and HUD must monitor the PHA's 
implementation of its corrective action plan to ensure performance 
targets are met.
    (e) Use of administrative fee reserve prohibited. Any PHA assigned 
an overall performance rating of troubled may not use any part of the 
administrative fee reserve for other housing purposes (see 24 CFR 
982.155(b)).
    (f) Upgrading poor performance rating. HUD shall change an PHA's 
overall performance rating from troubled to standard or high performer 
if HUD determines that a change in the rating is warranted because of 
improved PHA performance and an improved SEMAP score.
