On April 26, PHADA, in collaboration with NAHRO, CLPHA and the MTW Collaborative sent a letter to Secretary Marcia L. Fudge. The letter, also submitted as a public comment, requests that the Department defer official scoring of the new physical inspections model for housing authorities with fiscal years ending March 31, 2023. The request for the deferment is a result of legitimate concerns with the scoring methodology and the Department’s approach to implementation, which are detailed in the letter. The industry groups agree that changes are needed to improve the current inspection system. However, it is critical that the scoring system is transparent, fair, and accurate.
