Summary
AI summary — grounded in the notice text
This HUD notice supplements (without rescinding) Notice PIH 2022-10 and Notice PIH 2022-38/FPM-19-2022 by updating the submission process and method for Section 3 reports under 24 CFR Part 75 for public housing financial assistance recipients. It announces that PHAs will report Section 3 compliance data in a new system called S3R, replacing SPEARS, with reporting starting January 1, 2026, and provides a phased implementation schedule with specific deadlines based on fiscal year. Small PHAs with fewer than 250 units retain options for reporting qualitative efforts versus labor hours, but all PHAs must still submit reports on the required timeline.
