Accurate statistics for the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the
PHA's jurisdiction; each development's name, number, occupancy type and

number of certificates and vouchers currently in use by race and
bedroom size; and the length and composition of the waiting list by
race and bedroom size. PHA's must provide current and proposed public
housing tenant selection and assignment procedures along with any
Consent Decrees, Voluntary Compliance Agreements, or other
