Summary

AI summary — grounded in the notice text

HUD's Office of Public and Indian Housing is modifying the Privacy Act system of records notice for IMS/PIC and HIP, which are national repositories tracking PHA, TDHE, and HUD-assisted family data. The update adds three new routine uses (numbers 19, 20, and 21) and incorporates two previously added ones (17 and 18), updates the system manager and contact information, and clarifies categories of records, record sources, and electronic collection methods. PHA staff should be aware that this affects how tenant and program data in IMS/PIC and HIP may be shared and used, and comments on the changes are being accepted through October 30, 2026.
