Administrative Plan 7/1/2025 Page 16-36 <br />PART V: SECTION 8 MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT PROGRAM (SEMAP) <br />16-V.A. OVERVIEW <br />The Section 8 Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) is a tool that allows HUD to measure <br />PHA performance in key areas to ensure program integrity and accountability. SEMAP scores <br />translate into a rating for each PHA as high performing, standard, or troubled. Scores on <br />individual SEMAP indicators, as well as overall SEMAP ratings, can affect the PHA in several <br />ways. <br /> High-performing PHAs can be given a competitive advantage under notices of funding <br />availability [24 CFR 985.103]. <br /> PHAs with deficiencies on one or more indicators are required to correct the deficiencies and <br />report to HUD [24 CFR 985.106]. <br /> PHAs with an overall rating of “troubled” are subject to additional HUD oversight, including <br />on-site reviews by HUD staff, a requirement to develop a corrective action plan, and <br />monitoring to ensure the successful implementation of the corrective action plan. In addition, <br />PHAs that are designated “troubled” may not use any part of the administrative fee reserve <br />for other housing purposes [24 CFR 985.107]. <br /> HUD may determine that a PHA's failure to correct identified SEMAP deficiencies or to <br />prepare and implement a corrective action plan required by HUD constitutes a default under <br />the ACC [24 CFR 985.109]. <br />EXHIBIT 1
