Chapter VIII: Annual Re-Examinations

Section U: SEMAP Monitoring Tools

HUD’s Section Eight Management Assessment Program (SEMAP) requires an AR rate of 100%.

HUD defines 100% compliance as having the AR completed by the day following the expiration of the tenant’s current contract. If the initial effective date is pro-rated (and the initial lease term exceeds one year), the AR effective date becomes the day following the end of the 13th month.

HUD collects this data from the Public/Indian Housing Information Center (PIC).

HUD does not permit any delay in the AR execution, regardless of a two-month allowance for the transmission of PIC data.

SEMAP requires an annual Housing Quality Standard (HQS) inspection. HUD defines annual as no more than 365 days from the last inspected (versus the last passed) date.
