DHA's Performance Indicators
DHA operates two major federal housing programs, the Public Housing program and the Section 8 program. These two programs are assessed by HUD each year and these assessments carry a lot of significance to each housing authority.
PUBLIC HOUSING ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (PHAS)
91 PHAS Score
The Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) was established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by final rule published on September 1, 1998. Under the PHAS, HUD evaluates a public housing agency (PHA) based on four key indicators: (1) The physical condition of the PHA’s properties; (2) the PHA’s financial condition; (3) the PHA’s management operations; and (4) the resident’s assessment (through a resident survey) of the PHA’s performance.
Other Assessments
