Treasury, Homeowner Assistance Fund
Summary
An October 2023 Treasury presentation for Tribal governments on Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) quarterly and annual reporting, labeled educational and not binding policy guidance from the Treasury. It points to the 2023 and 2022 Compliance Supplement and the HAF Financial Assistance Agreement as reasons compliance reporting matters. Quarterly reports carry more quantitative data and annual reports more qualitative data; the quarterly schedule depends on whether a Tribe's award exceeds $5 million. Portal access requires ID.me or Login.gov, and only an authorized user with an ID.me verified account can submit a HAF Plan and reports. The slides walk through entering community engagement and outreach, performance goals and methods for targeting, and invite Tribes to weekly office hours every Wednesday at 3 pm ET.

Commonly Asked Questions
1. Do we have to complete both the quarterly and annual report? What’s the difference?
• Quarterly reports capture more quantitative data.
– For Tribes with a HAF award that exceed $5 million, quarterly reports are due 45 days after the end of each
quarterly reporting period.
– For Tribes with a HAF award that is less than $5 million, one quarterly report reflecting cumulative activities
through September 30 is due mid-November each year.
• Annual reports capture more qualitative data.
– All Tribes are required to complete and submit an Annual report reflecting activities October 1 - September 30 that
is due mid-November each year.
2. What is an obligation?
• An obligation is an order placed for property and services, entry into contracts, subawards, and similar transactions that
require payment by the Tribe to a person or vendor with HAF funds (as defined in Uniform Guidance at 2 CFR 200.1,).
For example, an approved invoice, application, timesheet, purchase order, etc. are examples of documentation that
supports that your Tribe is obligated to pay a person or a vendor.
3. Do we still have to report if we haven’t spent any of the funds?
• Yes, your Tribe should complete and submit to Treasury each required report regardless of the amount of HAF award
funds expended for each reporting period.
4. When does the HAF Award Period of Performance end?
• The HAF Award Period of Performance ends on September 30, 2026. All HAF award funds must be obligated by that
date and expenditures for such obligations must be completed no later than 120 days after that date.
5. What is the reporting period for annual and quarterly reports?
• Annual reports must reflect activities funded with the HAF award from October 1 – September 30.
• Quarterly reports for Tribes with a HAF award that exceed $5 million must reflect HAF award funded activities for the
latest quarter.
• Quarterly reports for Tribes with HAF award that is less than $5 million must reflect HAF award funded activities from
October 1 – September 30.
