Instructions
A. General Instructions. The original and 2 copies of form HUD-
52685 must be prepared and submitted to the HUD Field Office
(Attention: Assisted Housing Management Branch) by Public Housing
Agencies (PHAs) for each Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation project
under an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC). The report shall be
based on project data as of the last day of the quarter or annually
as of September 30, whichever is applicable.
B. Reporting Frequency.
1. Quarterly Reporting. The report must first be submitted as of
the end of the quarter during which the ACC was initially executed
or amended to incorporate a new project. Thereafter, it shall be
submitted as of the end of each subsequent quarter (even if there is
no change from the previous report) until 95 percent of the units in
the project (i.e., authorized by the ACC) are under lease. The
report must be submitted to and received by the HUD Field Office by
the 10th day of the month following the quarter covered by the
report, i.e. January 10, April 10, July 10, and October 10.
2. Annual Reporting. Once 95 percent of the units in the project
(i.e., authorized by the ACC) are under lease, reporting on the form
HUD-52685 must be accomplished annually as of September 30 to be
received by the HUD Field Office by October 10. Should the project
reach 95 percent occupancy during a quarter other than the quarter
ending September 30, that quarterly report must be submitted, but no
further reporting is required until September 30 of that year. Of
course, if 95 percent occupancy is reached during the quarter ending
September 30, the report will be submitted as of September 30 and,
in Item 3, should be indicated as a quarterly report.
Once annual reporting has begun, reporting on form HUD-52685
will continue in that manner, even if the assisted units under lease
drop below 95 percent of the units in the project.
