Unit Activity Types

Unit activity types allow your agency to create “custom” PHAS events. HUD defines ten PHAS events that correspond to ten possible statuses or conditions of a unit. These statuses and conditions relate to whether a unit is occupied and, if not occupied, why it is not occupied. HUD uses these events to calculate the vacancy statistics on your units that, in turn, make up part of your agency’s PHAS score. The ten HUD-defined events are Legal Conditions, Maintenance, Market Conditions, Move-In (Unit Occupied), Move-Out (Unit Vacant), Other Reasons, Ready to Lease, Resident Property in Unit, Unit Deprogramming, and Unit Under Modernization Plan. You cannot edit or add to these events.

Unit activity types, however, allow you to “subdivide” any event into as many different custom activity types as you want. The purpose of activity types is to allow you much greater flexibility in managing and reporting on your units.

Note: Each PHAS event can have many unit activity types. Each unit activity type must correspond to one PHAS event.

After you have set up your activity types, you can assign them to specific activities for individual units.
