           Subpart D_PHAS Indicator #3: Management Operations

 

Sec.  902.43  Management operations performance standards.



    (a) Management operations sub-indicators. The following sub-

indicators listed in this section will be used to assess a PHA's 

management operations. The components and grades for each sub-indicator 

are the same as those provided in Appendix 1 to the PHAS Notice on the 

Management Operations Scoring Process, except as may be otherwise noted 

in this subpart.

    (1) Management sub-indicator #1--Vacant Unit Turnaround Time. This 

sub-indicator measures the PHA's efforts to reduce unit turnaround time 

and assesses the adequacy of the PHA's system to track unit down time, 

make ready time and lease up time.

    (2) Management sub-indicator #2--Capital Fund. This management sub-

indicator examines the amount and percentage of funds provided to the 

PHA from the Capital Fund under section 9(d) of the Act, which remain 

unexpended by the PHA after three years, the timeliness of fund 

obligation, the adequacy of contract administration, the quality of the 

physical work, and the adequacy of budget controls. For funding under 

the HOPE VI Program, only components 3, 4, and 

5 of this sub-indicator are applicable. This management sub-

indicator is automatically excluded if the PHA does not have section 

9(d) capital funding.

    (3) Management sub-indicator #3--Work Orders. This management sub-

indicator examines the time it takes to complete or abate emergency work 

orders, the average number of days nonemergency work orders were active, 

and any progress a PHA has made during the preceding three years to 

reduce the period of time nonemergency maintenance work orders were 

active. Implicit in this management sub-indicator is the adequacy of the 

PHA's work order system in terms of how a PHA accounts for and controls 

its work orders, and its timeliness in preparing/issuing work orders.

    (4) Management sub-indicator #4--PHA Annual Inspection of Units and 

Systems. This management sub-indicator examines the percentage of units 

and systems that a PHA inspects on an annual basis in order to determine 

short-term maintenance needs and long-term Capital Fund needs. This 

management sub-indicator requires a PHA's inspection to utilize the HUD 

uniform physical condition standards set forth in subpart B of this 

part. All occupied units are required to be inspected.

    (5) Management sub-indicator #5--Security. (i) This management sub-

indicator evaluates the PHA's performance in tracking crime related 

problems in their developments; reporting incidence of crime to local 

law enforcement agencies; the adoption and implementation, consistent 

with section 6(j)(1)(I) (42 U.S.C. 1437d(j)(1)(I)), of applicant 

screening and resident eviction policies and procedures, and other 

anticrime strategies; coordination with local government officials and 

residents in the development on implementation of such strategies; and 

as applicable, PHA performance under any HUD drug prevention/crime 

reduction grants.

    (ii) Paragraph (a) of this section provides that the components and 

grades for each sub-indicator are the same as those for the 

corresponding indicator provided in Appendix 1 to the PHAS Notice on the 

Management Operations Scoring Process, except as may be otherwise noted. 

For Component 1, Tracking and Reporting Crime Related Problems, 

the following will be used to describe a Grade of A: The PHA Board, by 

resolution, has adopted policies and the PHA has implemented procedures 

and can document that it:

    (A) Tracks crime and crime-related problems in at least 90 percent 

of its developments;

    (B) Has a cooperative system for tracking and reporting incidents of 

crime to local police authorities to improve law enforcement and crime 

prevention; and

    (C) Coordinates with local government officials and its residents on 

the implementation of anticrime strategies.

    (6) Management sub-indicator #6--Economic Self-Sufficiency. The 

economic self-sufficiency sub-indicator measures the PHA's efforts to 

coordinate, promote or provide effective programs and activities to 

promote the economic self-sufficiency of residents. For this sub-

indicator, PHAs will be assessed for all the programs that the PHA has 

HUD funding to implement. Also, PHAs will receive credit for 

implementation of programs through partnerships with non-PHA providers, 

even if the programs are not funded by HUD or the PHA.

    (b) Reporting on performance under the Management Operations 

Indicator. (1) A PHA is required to submit electronically a 

certification of its performance

under each of the management operations sub-indicators in accordance 

with Sec.  902.60(d).

    (2) If circumstances preclude a PHA from reporting electronically, 

HUD will consider granting short-term approval to allow a PHA to submit 

its management operations certification manually. A PHA that seeks 

approval to submit its certification manually must ensure that REAC 

receives a request for manual submission in writing two months prior to 

the submission due date of its Management Operations certification. The 

written request must include the reasons why the PHA cannot submit its 

certification electronically. REAC will respond to such a request and 

will manually forward its determination in writing to the PHA.
