Introduction The Public Housing Program is one of HUD’s largest national affordable housing programs, serving about 1.2 million families in 14,000 public housing developments in all 50 states, and administered by 3,050 Housing Authorities. The Public Housing Operating Fund subsidy budget is currently about $3.6 billion annually. Other special Public Housing Programs are accounted for separately. The goal of this Handbook is to simplify Public Housing management, and save time for the busy Public Housing Administrator and Affordable Housing Professional. This Handbook’s Comprehensive Index includes about 7,000 entries, and over 120,000 references, organizing access to the main sources of regulatory and management control of Public Housing Programs: Statutory and Federal Regulations, most notably in 24 CFR HUD Occupancy Forms, HUD Occupancy Guidebooks and Handbooks, PIH Notices for Public Housing Occupancy, and Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policies (ACOP) for local agency rules and procedures. All of these sources of regulation and management decisions are indexed. The primary regulations, 24 CFRs 5, 35, 945, 960, 964 & 966 (about 160 pages), are reprinted in the front portion of this Handbook, a few pages after this Introduction. The main HUD occupancy forms used by Public Housing Administrators (about 130 pages), PIH Notices (about 330 pages), and the HUD Occupancy Handbooks and Guidebooks (about 630) pages, are available for free from HUDCLIPS. All are completely indexed in this Handbook together with a typical Public Housing ACOP (about 170 pages), based on the ACOP used by the Housing Authority of New Orleans – for a total of about 1,400 pages indexed. In this Comprehensive Index, the total number of times a word or phrase appears is on the first line of each index entry. Then the index references are listed individually for each regulatory source shown above. The author welcomes suggestions and input to improve this Handbook, and for future Handbooks. For example, new words to add to the index, additional or changed forms, new regulations, or any other thoughts and suggestions the reader may have. If you would like a Custom Index for your ACOP, or have other suggestions for indexing and facilitating HUD Affordable Housing, please contact the author (email below). Please send all suggestions and comments to the author at the email below David Hoicka New Orleans, LA. DavidHoicka@PublicHousing.info
