    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use: The 
PHA Plan is a comprehensive guide to PHA policies, programs, 
operations, and strategies for meeting local housing needs and goals. 
The PHA Plan informs HUD, residents, and the public of the PHA's 
mission for serving the needs of low, very low-income, and extremely 
low-income families and its strategy for addressing those needs. This 
data allows HUD to monitor the performance of programs and the 
performance of public housing agencies that administer the programs. 
The PHA Plan is being revised to clarify and provide additional 
guidance on the submission requirements for qualified and non-qualified 
PHAs.
