Energy and Performance Information Center (EPIC)
This reporting is designed to collect energy efficiency measures (EEM) being implemented with Capital Fund Formula or RHF grants.   PHAs are required to report their activities in EPIC on an annual basis after the conclusion of each fiscal year; reporting period is the month following the FYE. PHAs must submit a report for all open Formula and RHF (Replacement Housing Factor) Grants.

Capital Fund  activity is also reported in EPIC.   This reporting was put into place in 2017 and PHAs inputted their capital plans and budgets into the system.  Reporting is done only when changes are needed to the plan or budget.   EPIC may be found at: https://portalapps.hud.gov/app_epic/

Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) – (for a Section 8-only agency, financial reporting also handled through FASS) submit electronically.  As of March, 2011, PHAs were no longer required to self- certify information with respect to PHAS scoring. Information is taken from inspections information submitted by REAC inspectors, FASS submissions (see below), eLOCCS and PIC. To insure good scores, it is important that PHAs accurately and timely report in PIC.

Financial Assessment SubSystem (FASS)  PHA’s accountant generally handles this submission.
Unaudited financial information is submitted within 60 days of the PHA’s FYE.
Audited information is submitted 9 months after the PHA’s FYE.

Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) (HUD-52648) submit electronically within 60 days of the PHA’s FYE

Section 3 Summary Report (HUD-60002)
submit with performance reports of all Public Housing and related grant programs (operating and capital funds). If the program does not require a performance report, the report is due no later than 60 days after your FYE.  To submit online, go to

Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Report (HUD-2516)
applicable to all Public Housing-related contracts of $10,000 or more; is due into the HUD field office by October 10 every year. Generally HUD will notify PHAs when they are needed.

Annual Report (required by State Law) The state Housing Authority law requires that the housing authority prepare an annual report and file it with the City Clerk’s office. This requirement is applicable only to agencies created under LGC, Chapter 392. There is no specification in the law as to what time of the year it must be submitted.

Eminent Domain (state law gives PHAs this authority) According to Senate Bill 28, passed in 2011, any entity with eminent domain authority that wanted to retain that authority was required to send a letter to the Comptroller’s Office by the end of 2012. Entities that submitted letters are listed in the Comptroller’s Lookup Tool at https://coedd.comptroller.texas.gov/.  In 2015, the legislature passed Senate Bill 1812 which required the Comptroller’s Office to set up a data base and collect information from entities authorized by the state to exercise eminent domain. The purpose of this is to provide some transparency so that the public knows who is actually using the eminent
domain authority and where. According to the law, the entities that chose to retain their eminent domain authority are required to submit the required information by February 1 of each year at https://comptroller.texas.gov/transparency/local/eminent-domain/

Cyber Security Training Certification required as of Texas Legislature, 2019. PHA staff who have access to computers and data in the agency are required to have annual cyber security training approved by the Dept. of Information Resources.  Due June 15 of each year https://public.cyber.mil/training/cyber-awareness-challenge/ (we recommend this training because it is also recognized by HUD for satisfaction of the EIV Security training requirement. You can take one training to satisfy two requirements)

Financial Audit – due 9 months after end of fiscal year but it is a good idea to try to have it ready at least a month earlier, so that there will be enough time to make any corrections and allow the auditor sufficient time to submit required information for FASS. For agencies with under $750,000 annual expenditures, full audit is not required; however, a financial statement audit is recommended for all PHAs. A copy of the audit report must be sent to the HUD field office.

Annual Local Debt Report – Local Government Code  140.008 requires political subdivisions of the state to annually compile certain debt obligation data from the preceding fiscal year and either report it to the Comptroller of Public Accounts for posting on the Comptroller’s website or post the information on their own websites. Political subdivisions must report the required information within 180 days of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year. Reporting deadlines are located at https://comptroller.texas.gov/transparency/local/hb1378/#skip-scroll

Unclaimed Property Reporting – All financial institutions, businesses, government entities, and organizations that are holding abandoned property belonging to Texas residents should file a report with the Texas Comptroller’s office. The kinds of property that PHAs might have include:
• Uncashed/Outstanding Payroll Check (at least 1 year old)
• Uncashed/Outstanding Check payable to a Vendor or Contractor at least 3 years old
• Former Tenant’s Overpayment of Rent Resulting in a Credit Balance at least 3 yrs old
• Former Tenant’s Remaining Security Deposit Balance at least 3 years old

Review your records every year, as of March 1, and determine if you have any property for which you have had no contact with the owner for the applicable abandonment period. Reporting information can be found at comptroller.texas.gov/programs/claim-it/report/forms/

Negative reports are not required. Holder reports are only required in years when you actually have abandoned property to remit.
