               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.

    (4) The PHA must retain reasonable documentation of service 

requirement performance or exemption in participant files.

    (5) The PHA must comply with non-discrimination and equal 

opportunity requirements listed at Sec.  5.105(a) of this title.
