Updating Owner/Agent Contact Information in iREMS

Your current contact information is essential for the PBCA and HUD to be able to provide you with improved customer service. Let this newsletter serve as a reminder to verify that your contact information is accurate in iREMS.


To update this information completely and accurately you must do so in APPS. The responsible person for APPS data management at your organization can update APPS.

To access APPS, begin with the Active Partners Performance System option on the FHA Connection's Multifamily FHA menu. This takes you to the PIH-REAC Online Systems page on the HUD.GOV website. This is a Single Sign On gateway to multiple systems, allowing you to log in (registered users), use the online registration form link, and/or request password reset. Click here to go to the HUD.GOV website for additional information on APPS, including registration, system login, and user guides.

If you have problems logging into APPS, contact the Help Desk at (888) 297-8689, option 5. If you need to register for access with any of HUD’s other secured systems, please click on this link for additional information: Multifamily Online Systems

NOTES:

  • Owner contact should not be anyone in the Management Agent's office unless the Management Agent also owns the project.
  • HUD cannot accept a P.O. Box as an address. If you have submitted a P.O. Box as the address in the past, please update this information with a different address.

You can find more information about managing data in APPS at these links:
