HUD Gives Guidance on Public Housing Community Service and Self-Sufficiency Requirements

HUD recently issued Notice PIH-2015-12 to help public housing agencies understand the Community Service and Self-Sufficiency Requirement (CSSR) for public housing residents so that PHAs can more effectively administer the requirement. This notice was a response to a report from HUD’s Office of the Inspector General on Feb. 13, 2015, that was critical of how CSSR has been implemented.
