About this file

This document outlines the process for federalization of local housing authorities (LHA) projects by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Office of Entitlement and Office of Leased Housing Contracts (EOHLC). The process includes EOHLC's review of the LHA's project to determine if it involves standalone upgrades to federal standards or a major mixed-finance redevelopment. EOHLC then sends the development information to a HUD Engineer for review before the LHA submits a formal development proposal to HUD. HUD reviews the proposal, confirms adequate Faircloth authority, and performs a site visit to assess the scope required to meet Decent, Safe, Sanitary and Good Repair (DSS/GR) standards. Contingent on HUD approval, EOHLC issues an award letter, and the LHA commences design and construction. After successfully passing a HUD NSPIRE physical inspection, the property transitions to HUD oversight.

The document provides detailed guidance on the required contents of the LHA's development proposal, including forms, board resolutions, environmental reviews, and other supporting documentation. It also references relevant HUD regulations, handbooks, and websites for additional information.
