under Sec. 582.215 of this part.
    (b) Ongoing assessment of housing and supportive services. Each 
recipient of assistance must conduct an ongoing assessment of the 
housing assistance and supportive services required by the participants, 
and make adjustments as appropriate.
    (c) Adequate supportive services. Each recipient must assure that 
adequate supportive services are available to participants in the 
program.
    (d) Records and reports. (1) Each recipient must keep any records 
and, within the timeframe required, make any reports (including those 
pertaining to race, ethnicity, gender, and disability status data) that 
HUD may require.
    (2) Each recipient must keep on file, and make available to the 
public on request, a description of the procedures used to select 
sponsors under the SRA component and buildings under the SRO, SRA, and 
PRA components.
    (3) Each recipient must develop, and make available to the public 
upon request, its procedures for managing the rental housing assistance 
funds provided by HUD. At a minimum, such procedures must describe how 
units will be identified and selected; how the responsibility for 
inspections will be handled; the process for deciding which unit a 
participant will occupy; how participants will be placed in, or assisted 
in finding appropriate housing; how rent calculations will be made and 
the amount of rental assistance payments determined; and what safeguards 
will be used to prevent the misuse of funds.
