The Operating Fund (OpFund) Web Portal brings OpFund processing to a web-based platform. Public and Indian Housing (PIH) Field Offices (FOs), and Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) can now participate in OpFund processing through their web browser. PIH FOs submit and certify the FO versions of the forms HUD-52723 and HUD-52722 through the OpFund Portal. PIH FOs resolve Quality Control (QC) findings and submit revised forms HUD-52723 and HUD-52722 through the Portal. Also, the Portal provides PHAs and FOs with historical forms HUD-52723 and HUD-52722 and various reports. The web link to the OpFund Web Portal Webpage is posted on each calendar year’s Operating Subsidy Processing web page.
The OpFund program delivers $4.5 Billion annually to 3,000 PHAs, approximately 7,000 public housing developments, and assistance to over 1.1 Million low-income families. The OpFund Web Portal is a resource for FOs to navigate through the nearly 14,000 OpFund requests submitted by PHAs and the 25 million data elements used to calculate OpFund eligibility.
