Title 24 - Housing and Urban Development
(a) After receipt of the State/Area Office notification letter in accordance with §901.120(b) or receipt of a final resolution of an appeal in accordance with §901.125 or, in the case of an RMC, notification of its indicator grades from a PHA, a PHA or RMC shall correct any deficiency indicated in its management assessment within 90 calendar days. (b) A PHA shall notify the State/Area Office of its action to correct a deficiency. A PHA shall also forward to the State/Area Office an RMC's report of its action to correct a deficiency. (c) If the State/Area Office determines that a PHA or RMC has not corrected a deficiency as required within 90 calendar days after receipt of its final notification letter, the State/Area Office may require a PHA, or a RMC through the PHA, to prepare and submit to the State/Area Office an Improvement Plan within an additional 30 calendar days: (1) The State/Area Office shall require a PHA or RMC to submit an Improvement Plan, which includes the information stated in (d) of this section, for each indicator that a PHA or RMC scored a grade of F. (2) The State/Area Office may require, on a risk management basis, a PHA or RMC to submit an Improvement Plan, which includes the information stated in paragraph (d) of this section, for each indicator that a PHA scored a grade D or E, as well as other performance and/or compliance deficiencies as may be identified as a result of an on-site review of the PHA's operations. (d) An Improvement Plan shall: (1) Identify baseline data, which should be raw data but may be the PHA's score in each of the indicators identified as a problem in a PHA's or RMC's management assessment, or other relevant areas identified as problematic; (2) Describe the procedures that will be followed to correct each deficiency; and (3) Provide a timetable for the correction of each deficiency. (e) The State/Area Office will approve or deny a PHA's or RMC's Improvement Plan, and notify the PHA of its decision. A PHA must notify the RMC in writing, immediately upon receipt of the State/Area Office notification, of the State/Area Office approval or denial of the RMC's Improvement Plan. (f) An Improvement Plan that is not approved will be returned to the PHA with recommendations from the State/Area Office for revising the Improvement Plan to obtain approval. A revised Improvement Plan shall be resubmitted by the PHA or RMC within 30 calendar days of its receipt of the State/Area Office recommendations. (g) If a PHA or RMC fails to submit an acceptable Improvement Plan, or to correct deficiencies within the time specified in an Improvement Plan or such extensions as may be granted by HUD, the State/Area Office will notify the PHA of its or the RMC's noncompliance. The PHA, or the RMC through the PHA, will provide HUD its reasons for lack of progress in submitting or carrying out the Improvement Plan within 30 calendar days of its receipt of the noncompliance notification. HUD will advise the PHA as to the acceptability of its reasons for lack of progress and, if unacceptable, will notify the PHA that it will be subject to sanctions provided for in the ACC and HUD regulations.
