One of the benefits of working with my clients is that I was that I was able to be […] During the beginning of my webinars I always discuss the importance of the many affordable housing resources we have and as part of that discussion, is the TRACS Discussion Forum. I talk about how great it is as a resource for everyone in our industry.

Mondays being the toughest days of the week where you have to get caught up on the work that you weren’t able to complete on Friday […] My first question is “Did you go through the Zero Income Questionnaire with your Tenant? ”The tenant may think that “income” means employment only income. As we know, and as defined in Chapter 5 of the HUD Handbook 4350.3 Change 4 & Exhibit 5-1, income includes several sources including Federal Wage, Non-Federal Wage, SS […] Some of you may use the TRACS Discussion Forum as a great resource and others may not. I view this forum at least once if not twice a day. I think it’s a great place to get answers to industry questions. For those who have not used it, you should know that it is not […] Contract Administrators (CA’s) are about to ramp up on the Management Occupancy Reviews (MOR’s), are you ready? The MOR’s will be starting up again real soon for all states and you know they’re going to be killer after not being completed for several years – This is why it’s necessary to get a head start […] To alleviate any confusion out there in regards to the two new additional EIV reports: The “No Income Reported on 50059” and the “No Income Reported by HHS or SSA” are REQUIRED to be used in conjunction with and be described in your EIV Use Policy and Procedure Manual. These reports Identify tenants who passed […] I have never been a single parent so I can only speculate through the experience of my friends that it is not an easy task. Collecting Child Support can also be a difficult process because you are somewhat powerless as to whether you are going to be able to collect those funds from the working […] One of the goals of HUD’s RHIIP initiative is to reduce over payments and underpayments which they have done through the Enterprise Income Verification system (EIV). The creation of the EIV system has really helped in the recovery of HUD funds for those over-payments of HUD subsidy. My feeling is that the EIV system was […] Although I have previously written an article on this subject before it wasn’t until now that there was some more clarity from TRACS 202D and the impending TRACS release in September. Through this release we now have a recovery system in place through a new Section 7 of the MAT 30 record. However the question […] HUD Housing Notice 2013-06, Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) System, was issued today, March 12, 2013.

Learn more by taking our new UPDATED class for EIV: https://www.AHTCSonline.com/regform-multi.php The revised Notice: Adds Section 811 Project […] After spending my beginning years in technical support at an affordable housing software company I was often asked many questions in regard to the timing of tenant reported income. I would always refer them to the HUD 4350.3 Handbook as it gives the best examples. In my opinion, I think each revision of the 4350.3 […] Undergoing a file audit on your Section 8 property is a major undertaking. I think some folks are a bit nervous about somebody coming to “check their work.” Nobody likes to have their work criticized. But honestly the focus or the thoughts should be…”I’m finally having somebody check my files to make sure I didn’t […] Since section 8 Owner/Agents are required to complete an annual recertification for each tenant family, it is important to realize that there are key differences between the annual recertification interview and the one performed when they first apply for affordable housing. At the Application interview Owners/Agents gather more data than at annuals (for example, all […] How to Deal with Extended Absence or Abandonment in Section 8 758 Unit Inspections for Section 8 Housing 689 When is a Section 8 tenant considered “Moved out”? 580 AHTCS, LLC provides HUD Section 8 file audit and file reviews 407 MOR’s May Be Suspended, But Let’s Pretend They Weren’t! 394 Does Your Tenant […] What a burden these EIV reports are…now I got to track these repayment agreements??? How long does the tenant have to repay the amount they owe back to HUD? What if the tenant owes a ton of money, can I just have a EIV policy which states a maximum amount in which an owner will […] I understand why Owners of HUD subsidized properties and Management companies are sometimes afraid to spend money on training their staff. Some folks had some questions about whether or not the classes would be considered HUD approved training expenses and others had concerns they are afraid to spend too much on training for fear their […] The most recent TRACS 202d Industry meeting held on March 13th & 14th was two days of great information.

These three individuals have made large contributions to the multifamily housing industry. They will be sorely missed! Also discussed at the TRACS industry 202D working group meeting last week was how to address […] I have attempted to assemble a list of best practices observed by O/A’s that work with multifamily affordable housing.
