This requirement may disqualify developments on the Eligible Development list if the Asset Management Project (AMP) is for scattered sites.Developments that belong to PHAs that are considered troubled in PHAS or are on the PHARS list or that are in receivership are not eligible to participate.PHAs may propose to combine two or more developments to meet the criteria for eligible developments, subject to the following conditions:Parts of developments cannot be combined.
