It is the Department's intent to issue, in the near future in the Federal Register, a rule regarding the Public Housing Operating Fund Program.  The rule will modify the transition funding percentage for Federal Fiscal Year 2007 for public housing agencies (PHAs) that will experience a decline in funding between the old and new funding formulas.  ALL DECLINER PHAs WILL BE CAPPED AT A 5 PERCENT REDUCTION FOR 2007 REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY APPLY FOR STOP LOSS.  Decliner PHAs may still apply for stop loss in 2006 if they want to effect a permanent 5 percent reduction.
