# §902.103. Public housing assessment of small rural PHAs.

- (a) **Small rural public housing assessment.** The public housing program of small rural PHAs as defined in [§ 902.101](/cfr/24/902.101.md) shall be assessed and scored based only on the physical condition of their public housing properties in accordance with [24 CFR part 5](/cfr/24/part5.md), [subpart G](/cfr/24/subpartG.md), except that properties that meet the definition specified in [§ 902.44(b)](/cfr/24/902.44.md?p=b) of physical condition and neighborhood environment shall receive one additional point for physical condition and neighborhood environment. Such agencies shall not be subject to PHAS except as noted below.
- (b) **Triennial assessment.** Public housing programs operated by small rural PHAs will be assessed no more than once every three years, except that a small rural PHA shall be subject to annual inspection if it is designated by the Secretary as troubled as defined in [§ 902.105](/cfr/24/902.105.md).
- (c) **Initial public housing assessment.**
  - (1) For PHAs subject to small PHA deregulation, the first assessment and inspections will be determined based on the PHA's next scheduled PHAS assessment (e.g., a higher performing PHA would receive the first inspection 3 years after the most recent PHAS assessment).
  - (2) For PHAs not subject to small PHA deregulation, the first inspection is based on the PHA's overall weighted project physical condition indicator score (e.g., a PHA with a physical condition indicator score of 90 or greater would receive the first inspection three years after most recent PHAS assessment).
