SUBJECT: Requirements to Approve Vouchers via Manual Review in the Electronic Line of Credit Control System When Public Housing Agencies are in Noncompliance with Grant Terms and Award Conditions 


I. Applicability. Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) receiving grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) are responsible for complying with the terms and conditions of their grant awards. HUD is committed to ensuring that such Federal funds are used effectively and in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements, supporting the critical mission of providing safe and decent affordable housing. The
conditions outlined in this notice apply to PHAs receiving assistance from any program under HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH). HUD reserves the right to impose additional conditions for noncompliance and exercise any other enforcement authority permitted by law.

II. Purpose. This notice outlines the procedure for setting a grant to PIH “manual review” in the electronic Line of Credit Control System (eLOCCS) when a PHA is noncompliant with grant terms or specific award conditions. Previously, HUD described the procedure as “automatic review,” “auto review,” or “zero-threshold” for enforcement. For clarity, HUD will now use the term “manual review” to describe the process when eLOCCS
automatically sends a PHA's voucher requests to PIH for review prior to the PHA drawing funds, requiring documentation for each voucher to ensure the funding is used in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.
