HUD Publishes Public Housing Cash Management Frequently Asked Questions

By: NAHRO Policy and Research Advisor Andrew Van Horn

March 13, 2026—On March 12, HUD published a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document on new cash management requirements for public housing and mixed finance developments. In 2024 and 2025, HUD released a series of notices changing the way PHAs use and document Public Housing Operating Fund subsidy. These FAQs supplement previous public housing operating fund accounting notices, including:

  • PIH Notice 2024-25 (provisions regarding returning interest earned on federal funds),
  • PIH Notice 2025-20 (new SF-425 reporting requirements including order of expenditure, report submissions, reserve funds, and grant periods of performance), and
  • PIH Notice 2025-22 (provisions regarding interest remittance).

The FAQs address pending questions regarding new cash management and interest remittance requirements and specify where HUD intends to issue additional regulations.

Find the FAQs on the Operating Fund Cash Management HUD Exchange page and read more in NAHRO’s Direct News in the week of March 16, 2026.
