Averting Crises in Housing Assistance Act or the ACHA Act This bill creates a mechanism for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to identify and rehabilitate public housing agency (PHA) properties that are failing and revises requirements for contracts between PHAs and HUD.

HUD must require the PHA to notify the residents of the property of the timelines and deadlines established by the plan.
