Recertifications

A recertification is a required PHA review of a Public Housing/PAPMC’s household’s income and composition. PHA requires recertifications for residents in Conventional Sites and Scattered Sites every two years, unless you are on ceiling rent or an Elderly or Disabled household on a fixed income who are recertified every three years. PAPMC/Tax Credit residents are required to recertify on an annual basis.

At recertification, PHA requires the following documentation from Conventional, Scattered, and PAPMC households:

Your income and the income of all of your household members
Any changes to your family composition
Your assets
Your expenses

The Public Housing and PAPMC Programs are completing all recertifications by mail and drop off only:
