Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) with 250 units or more of public housing submit information to HUD for approval of PHAs' Annual Comprehensive Plans. The information is to reserve formula share of the nation allocation for the CGP, certify resident consultation by the local government, certify a PHA's compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements, and to monitor performance of the projected activities of the CGP funds.
The Public Housing Capital Fund Program will replace the CGP once final regulations are implemented.
Respondents: State or Local Government.
