Subject: Public Housing Agency Compliance Deadline for Sections 102 and 104 of the
Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA) and Alternative HUD-50058
Reporting Instructions
I. PURPOSE
This notice announces that, starting on January 1, 2027, HUD will enforce compliance
with sections 102 and 104 of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of
2016 (HOTMA) for all public housing agencies (PHAs), except PHAs who participate in
the Moving to Work (MTW) demonstration and PHAs who currently exclusively use the
HUD Family Reporting Software (FRS). Accordingly, for PHAs subject to this
compliance deadline, all Form HUD-50058 transactions with an effective date of January
1, 2027, and later must be HOTMA-compliant. For PHAs in the MTW demonstration
(“MTW PHAs”) and PHAs currently exclusively using FRS (“FRS PHAs”), HUD will
enforce compliance with sections 102 and 104 of HOTMA once HUD completes certain
systems modifications, as described in sections V and VI.
This notice partially supersedes Notice PIH 2024-38 by providing guidance on when
HUD will enforce full compliance with the provisions of sections 102 and 104 of
HOTMA. The compliance deadline of July 1, 2025, for the HOTMA provisions
identified in Notice PIH 2024-38 is not altered by this notice. See appendix A for a
summary of compliance requirements.
II. BACKGROUND
HOTMA was signed into law on July 29, 2016 (P. L. 114-201). The final rule
implementing sections 102 and 104 of HOTMA (88 FR 9600) became effective January
1, 2024. HUD initially provided, in the HOTMA Section 102 and 104 Implementation
Guidance (Notice PIH 2023-27/H 2023-10), that PHAs could set a compliance date
between January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, based on when the PHA’s software could
submit to the Housing Information Portal (HIP).
www.hud.gov
2
Due to IT development delays, HUD subsequently announced in Notice PIH 2024-38 that
it would not enforce full PHA compliance by January 1, 2025. Instead, HUD enforced
compliance with only a select list of HOTMA provisions that PHAs were required to
implement starting July 1, 2025. The list of HOTMA provisions were identified on the
basis of what PHAs could successfully implement and report to HUD via the Inventory
Management System/Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Information Center (IMS/PIC).
HUD indicated that it would issue further guidance on the deadline to comply with the
outstanding provisions of sections 102 and 104 of HOTMA.
III. APPLICABILITY
This notice applies to PHAs administering PIH programs (Housing Choice Voucher
[HCV], Project-Based Voucher [PBV], Moderate Rehabilitation, Moderate Rehabilitation
Single Room Occupancy, and Public Housing), including MTW PHAs.
IV. PHA COMPLIANCE WITH HOTMA SECTIONS 102 AND 104 BY JANUARY 1,
2027
Starting on January 1, 2027, HUD will enforce compliance with all provisions of sections
102 and 104 of HOTMA for all PHAs except MTW PHAs and PHAs who are currently
exclusively using FRS. For PHAs subject to this compliance deadline, all HUD-50058
transactions with an effective date on or after January 1, 2027, must reflect HOTMA
requirements. This means that PHAs who begin annual reexaminations 120 days prior to
the effective date of the reexamination will need to begin using HOTMA policies to
collect and verify family income beginning in September 2026.
PHAs required to comply with sections 102 and 104 of HOTMA starting January 1,
2027, will be able to report HOTMA-compliant information to HUD in one of two ways,
as described below.
A. HOTMA Compliance Using 2024 Form HUD-50058
HUD is currently updating IMS/PIC to allow submission of the “2024” version of
Form HUD-50058.1 The 2024 HUD-50058 reflects HOTMA requirements, so PHAs
will be able to submit HOTMA-compliant information using this version of the form.
PHAs should work with their software vendors to ensure that their system is
compatible with the submission criteria for the 2024 HUD-50058.
PHAs may begin submitting the 2024 HUD-50058 as soon as they are able to and
their software allows. If PHAs cannot submit the 2024 HUD-50058 by the
compliance deadline, PHAs must follow the guidance in section IV.B.
B. HOTMA Compliance Using 2020 Form HUD-50058 and Alternative Reporting
Instructions
HUD is making several changes to the IMS/PIC system to allow it to accept
HOTMA-compliant reporting while PHAs continue to use the “2020 version” of
1
The “2020 version” of Form HUD-50058 was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on June
30, 2020. The “2024 version” of the form was approved on September 27, 2023 (OMB control number 2577-0083).
The Form HUD-50058 module in IMS/PIC currently reflects the layout of the 2020 version of the form.
3
Form HUD-50058. PHAs unable to convert their software to the 2024 HUD-50058
with enough time to process January 1, 2027, effective transactions must submit
HOTMA-compliant data using the alternative instructions in appendix B, once
software vendors or PHAs that build their own HUD-50058 software make the
compatible changes in their software. These instructions provide guidance on how
HUD will validate and review HOTMA-compliant HUD-50058 submissions in
IMS/PIC using the 2020 HUD-50058. HUD strongly encourages PHAs to consult
with their software vendors prior to submitting HOTMA-compliant data.
These alternative instructions are temporary until PHAs can transition to the 2024
HUD-50058. HUD will issue additional guidance in the future on the transition from
the use of these alternative instructions.
V. MTW AGENCY COMPLIANCE WITH HOTMA 102 AND 104
A. Initial MTW Agencies
HUD is exploring options to allow the initial MTW PHAs (who use Form HUD-
50058 MTW) to submit HOTMA-compliant information to IMS/PIC, which may take
the form of alternative instructions on the HUD-50058 MTW. HUD will issue further
guidance on the deadline for the initial MTW PHAs to comply with provisions of
Sections 102 and 104 that are applicable to them2 and submit HOTMA-compliant
information to IMS/PIC.
B. MTW Expansion Agencies
Alongside the current effort to update IMS/PIC to accept submission of the 2024
HUD-50058, HUD is updating IMS/PIC to allow MTW Expansion PHAs to submit
the 2024 version of Form HUD-50058 MTW Expansion. This update will also
require compatible updates to PHA or vendor software. When the timeline for
completion of this development is known, HUD will issue further guidance on the
deadline for MTW Expansion PHAs to comply with the provisions of sections 102
and 104 that apply to them. HUD will provide updates on the progress of IMS/PIC
system development and will issue guidance on when MTW Expansion PHAs are
able to submit 2024 MTWEX 50058s to IMS/PIC.
VI. FRS PHA COMPLIANCE WITH HOTMA 102 AND 104
For PHAs exclusively using FRS as of the date of the publication of this notice, HUD
will replace the current FRS with a web-based application that can create the 2024 HUD-
50058 for subsequent submission to IMS/PIC. HUD will issue further guidance on the
deadline for FRS PHAs to comply with all provisions of sections 102 and 104.

APPENDIX B: INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOTMA-COMPLIANT REPORTING USING
THE 2020 FORM HUD-50058
I. INTRODUCTION
This appendix outlines validation changes made in the Inventory Management
System/Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Information Center (IMS/PIC), and it provides
alternative instructions for the preparation of HOTMA-compliant submissions of the
2020 HUD-50058 for non-Moving to Work (MTW), non-Family Reporting Software
(FRS) PHAs in compliance with the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act of
2016 (HOTMA) as defined in this Notice.
II. WARNING MESSAGES TO BE EXPECTED
HUD modified seven error messages to prevent fatal errors from being generated in
IMS/PIC for specific HOTMA-related questions. Instead of receiving fatal errors for
submitting HOTMA-compliant responses, public housing agencies (PHAs) will receive a
warning message if they submit a value that triggers the error. A warning message does
not necessarily indicate the submission is incorrect and will not result in rejection of the
flagged data. The table below provides the list of fatal errors that have been converted to
warnings. (Note that other fatal errors remain unchanged, so PHAs could receive fatal
errors for questions that are unaffected by this change. In such cases, the form will not be
accepted.)
Error Relevant
Error Message

III. HUD-50058 SECTIONS WITH ALTERNATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
Alternative instructions are provided below for the following sections of Form HUD-
50058. Any section not listed here does not require alternative instructions.
Section 2: Action
Section 6: Assets

Error 4316 has been converted to a warning for reasons unrelated to the content of the error message. It should not
be inferred from this conversion that imputed asset income may be non-zero when net family assets are below
$5,000.
B-2
Section 7: Income
Section 8: Expected Income Per Year
IV. SECTION 2: ACTION
Notice PIH 2023-27/H 2023-10, revision 3, section I.5 of Attachment I describes
instructions that PHAs will use to file “non-interim reexamination transactions” on the
2024 HUD-50058 when a full interim reexamination is not permitted.
When using these alternative instructions, PHAs should continue to use Action Type 3
(Interim Reexamination) when filing mid-cycle updates that do not constitute a full
interim reexamination.
Field 2s (PHA use only): Enter “HOTMA” in this field.
Entering this code will signal that the submitted HUD-50058 is utilizing these
alternative instructions.
If the PHA currently uses field 2s for another purpose and another “PHA use
only” field is available, enter the “HOTMA” response in the vacant “PHA use
only” field.
In the rare circumstance in which a PHA is already using all five “PHA use only”
fields (fields 2q, 2r, 2s, 2t, and 2u), you may ignore this instruction.
V. SECTION 6: ASSETS
HOTMA introduces significant changes to the definition of net family assets and how
income derived from assets is calculated. See Notice PIH 2023-27/H 2023-10,
Attachment F, for HOTMA implementation guidance related to the calculation of net
family assets and the calculation of income derived from assets.
While these alternative instructions are used, HUD will only use responses to the
following fields from Section 6 (Assets) from the HUD-50058:
6f. Column total, Cash value of asset
6g. Column total, Anticipated income
6j. Final asset income
While field 6e (Anticipated income) is not currently submitted to IMS/PIC, alternative
instructions are being provided since it factors into the calculation of assets in other
fields.
Field 6e (Anticipated income): For each asset, enter the actual income produced by
the asset during the 12-month period under examination, OR, when actual asset
income cannot be calculated and imputed asset income must be calculated for the
family, enter the estimated imputed income for that asset for the 12-month period
under examination.
B-3
Exception: If the PHA chooses to accept self-certification of net family assets, the
PHA will not enter information about particular assets in the years in which the
family self-certifies their assets. Information will instead be entered in fields 6f,
6g, and 6h, as noted below.
If the total cash value of net family assets (field 6f) exceeds $52,787 in calendar
year 2026 (a value that is annually adjusted for inflation and specified on HUD
User), and the actual asset income for a particular asset cannot be calculated,
instead enter the imputed asset income for that particular asset. Imputed asset
income is the product of the net cash value of that asset and the HUD-specified
passbook savings rate (available on HUD User; in calendar year 2026, it is 0.4
percent).
If the total cash value of net family assets (field 6f) does not exceed $52,787 in
calendar year 2026 (a value that is annually adjusted for inflation and specified on
HUD User), the PHA should not calculate imputed asset income.
In no circumstance should actual income derived from an asset and imputed
income derived from that asset both be calculated. When actual asset income can
be calculated, the PHA must enter actual asset income. Actual asset income may
equal $0.
Field 6f (Column total, Cash value of asset): Enter the total cash value of net family
assets.
Exception: If the PHA chooses to accept self-certification of net family assets, the
PHA is not required to collect from the family an estimate of the total value of net
family assets in the years in which the family self-certifies their assets. If the PHA
does not collect that estimate, the PHA may enter “0” as the response. The PHA
may alternatively request from the family an estimate of the total value of net
family assets and enter that value in field 6f. PHAs that accept self-certification
must obtain third-party verification of net family assets every three years. (See
Notice PIH 2023-27/H 2023-10, Attachment F, section F.7, for guidance on self-
certification of net family assets.)
Field 6g (Column total, Anticipated income): Provide the total amount of household
income derived from assets.
Since field 6e will include either actual asset income or imputed asset income, this
column total will include all asset income and will be equivalent to final asset
income (field 6j). PHAs should report the same value in field 6g and field 6j.
Error code 4306 will display as a warning when field 6f is $0 and field 6g is a
positive amount. You may ignore this when the family self-certifies their assets
and no estimate of the total cash value of net family assets is collected, or when
the total cash value of net family assets is $0 but there is actual income from
assets to report.
B-4
Field 6h (Passbook rate): Enter zero.
HUD will not utilize responses to this field.
This field will not be used for any sort of calculation, under the alternative
instructions. (Instead, as noted above, if PHAs are required to calculate imputed
asset income, they will utilize the correct HUD-specified passbook rate when
determining imputed asset income and entering on fields 6e and 6g.)
Field 6i (Imputed asset income): Enter zero.
HUD will not utilize responses to this field. To be clear, entering zero in
accordance with these alternative instructions does not signify that the PHA has
determined that imputed asset income for the family is zero.
Error code 4318 will display as a warning when field 6f exceeds $5,000 and field
6i is $0. You may ignore this warning.
This field will not be used for any sort of calculation, under the alternative
instructions.
Field 6j (Final asset income): Provide the total amount of household income derived
from assets.
This should equal field 6g. This should include the total value of actual income
from assets and, if any imputed income had to be calculated, the value of imputed
income.

income income from assets, and, if any imputed income had to be
calculated, the value of the imputed income.
Example 1
The Adams family has $20,000 in non-necessary personal property, all of which is held
in a savings account. They also own a vacant plot of land worth $10,000. They have no
other assets. They receive $100 per year in savings account interest. The PHA is unable
to calculate the actual income earned for the property owned by the family because the
property neither generates any income nor could an income amount be computed as a
matter of interest or dividend earnings.
Field 6f: Since the combined total value of all non-necessary items of personal
property ($20,000) does not exceed $52,787 in 2026, it is excluded from net
family assets. The total value of net family assets is $10,000, so the PHA enters
“$10,000” in field 6f.
Because net family assets do not exceed $52,787 in 2026, the PHA does not
calculate imputed asset income for the Adams family.
Fields 6g and 6j: The total actual income from assets is $100, and no imputed
asset income is calculated, so the PHA enters “$100” in fields 6g and 6j.
Example 2
The Burton family has $65,000 in a savings account, $20,000 in stocks, and a recreational
vehicle worth $5,000. They receive $100 per year in interest in the savings account. The
stocks do not pay any dividends, so the actual income is $0. They have no other assets.
Field 6f: Since the combined total value of all non-necessary items of personal
property exceeds $52,787 in 2026, all non-necessary personal property is included
in net family assets. The total value of net family assets is “$90,000” in field 6f.
Because net family assets exceed $52,787 in 2026, the PHA must impute asset
income for any asset for which actual asset income cannot be calculated. The
PHA can calculate actual asset income for the savings account ($100) and the
stocks ($0). The PHA cannot calculate actual returns on the recreational vehicle,
so they impute asset income on that specific asset by multiplying the cash value of
that vehicle, $5,000, by the current passbook savings rate of 0.4 percent. Total
imputed asset income on the recreational vehicle will be $20.
Fields 6g and 6j: The PHA enters the sum of total actual income from assets
($100) and total imputed asset income ($20), “$120,” in fields 6g and 6j.
B-6
Example 3
The Carter family self-certifies that they have net family assets under $52,787 in 2026.
The Carters report they receive $100 per year in actual asset income.
Field 6f: The total value of net family assets may be entered as “$0” in field 6f.
Fields 6g and 6j: The PHA does not calculate imputed asset income for the
Carters. The total actual income from assets is $100, so the PHA enters “$100” in
fields 6g and 6j.
VI. SECTION 7: INCOME
See Notice PIH 2023-27/H 2023-10, Attachment J, section J.4, for guidance on Safe
Harbor income verification, and Notice PIH 2024-38 footnote 8 for previously provided
instructions on how PHAs may implement this provision in IMS/PIC. PHAs have
discretion whether to accept Safe Harbor income determinations. If the PHA chooses to
do so, they will provide the information in the following table.

VII. SECTION 8: EXPECTED INCOME PER YEAR
See Notice PIH 2023-27/H 2023-10, Attachment C, for HOTMA implementation
guidance related to deductions and expenses.
Field 8e (Total permissible deductions): Enter the total dollar amount of all
permissive deductions for the family. This may be entered for all program types.
Per 24 CFR 5.611(b)(1), PHAs may choose to provide additional permissive
deductions from annual income for families in the Housing Choice Voucher
(HCV) (tenant-based and project-based) and Section 8 moderate rehabilitation
programs, in addition to families in Public Housing.
Field 8f (Medical/disability threshold): Enter the appropriate value, depending on the
threshold applicable to the family this year. This may be 5 percent, 7.5 percent, or
10 percent of annual income.4
4
In instances when the first transaction for the family following HOTMA compliance is a non-interim update, the
applicable medical/disability threshold for the family remains at 3 percent. The PHA will apply the 5 percent
threshold at the family's first interim or annual reexamination following the date the PHA begins compliance.
B-7
You may skip this field if the family is not potentially eligible for a deduction for
the sum of unreimbursed health and medical care expenses or unreimbursed
reasonable attendant care and auxiliary apparatus expenses.
Families eligible for the phased-in hardship relief threshold will use 5 percent of
annual income at their first annual or interim reexamination once the PHA begins
full compliance with HOTMA sections 102 and 104. Families on phased-in
hardship relief will use 7.5 percent of annual income in the second 12-month
period of the phased-in relief.
Families receiving general hardship relief will use 5 percent of annual income.
Eligible families will generally use 10 percent of annual income.
Error code 4362 will display as a warning when field 8f does not equal the
product of field 7i and 3 percent. You may ignore this warning.
Field 8p (Elderly/disability allowance): Enter the appropriate inflation-adjusted
amount for the calendar year in which the 50058 transaction’s effective date occurs,
at new admission, annual and interim reexaminations, or any transaction after an
annual or interim reexamination in that calendar year.
PHAs can find the inflation-adjusted amounts on HUD User.
Error 4408 will display when field 8p does not equal $400. You may ignore this
warning upon confirmation that the Elderly/Disabled Family allowance is
adjusted for inflation and calculated correctly.
Field 8r (Allowance per dependent): Enter the appropriate inflation-adjusted
amount for the calendar year in which the HUD-50058 transaction’s effective date
occurs, at new admission, annual and interim reexaminations, or any transaction
after an annual or interim reexamination in that calendar year.
PHAs can find the inflation-adjusted amounts on HUD User.
Error code 4418 will display when field 8r does not equal $480. You may ignore
this warning upon confirmation that the dependent deduction is adjusted for
inflation and calculated correctly.
Example: For income examinations in 2026, the dependent deduction is $500. PHAs will
enter $500 in field 8r. The calculation for the dependent allowance should appear as follows
for a family with two dependents. The submission will generate a warning that the
allowance per dependent must equal 480, but the submission will be accepted by HUD.

Plain English
PIH Notice 2026-15 establishes January 1, 2027, as the enforcement deadline for most Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to comply with sections 102 and 104 of the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act (HOTMA). PHAs in the Moving to Work demonstration or exclusively using HUD Family Reporting Software face separate deadlines to be announced later. The notice also provides two reporting pathways—using either the updated 2024 Form HUD-50058 or the older 2020 form with alternative instructions—to accommodate varying software readiness.

For Property Managers
Under PIH Notice 2026-15, PHAs administering Housing Choice Voucher, Project-Based Voucher, Moderate Rehabilitation, and Public Housing programs must ensure all HUD-50058 transactions with effective dates on or after January 1, 2027, reflect full HOTMA compliance. Because annual reexaminations often begin 120 days in advance, compliant operators typically begin applying HOTMA income-collection and verification policies as early as September 2026. PHAs should coordinate with their software vendors promptly to determine whether they will use the 2024 HUD-50058 or the temporary alternative reporting instructions outlined in Appendix B of this notice.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
For Tenants
PIH Notice 2026-15 governs how PHAs calculate and report household income and assets under HOTMA, which can affect rent calculations in public housing and voucher programs. Tenants who believe their income or assets have been calculated incorrectly may raise concerns during their reexamination process or contact their local PHA directly. Tenant-rights organizations and HUD's resources at HOTMAQuestions@hud.gov can provide additional information about how these rules apply.
