WAITING LIST MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT

Provides a thorough review of the actions taken on the active waiting list within the last 12 months to ensure all required information is being recorded on the list and that applicant selection is in accordance with the property’s Tenant Selection Plan. Specific emphasis will be placed on ensuring preferences are being appropriately applied, income targeting requirements are being met (Section 8 only), and appropriate unit size assignments are made. Auditors will ensure the list is being maintained in an auditable manner and that notes are recorded to explain why any applicant was skipped in the selection process.

This service includes the creation of an annual waiting list update letter consistent with established TSP policies. These proactive assessments often help owners avoid potential Fair Housing investigations and costly legal services.

INDIVIDUAL POLICY ASSESSMENT

Sometimes clients are unsure whether a policy is compliant or whether potential changes to reflect business practices are permitted. We will review the current version of a policy (i.e., a Tenant Selection Plan, House Rules, EIV Policy, or Pet Policy, etc.). We will compile an assessment summary that identifies any areas of noncompliance and provides feedback regarding the client’s requested edits. Clients can then determine to what extent they need our assistance in making policy revisions.

SUBSIDY REPAYMENT AGREEMENT ASSESSMENT

Within the client’s TRACS Software, DHG will review the status of ongoing tenant subsidy repayment agreements to ensure installment payments are being collected correctly, transactions are reported on the vouchers appropriately, and ending balances concur with records maintained by the PBCA (if assigned). This is a crucial task necessary to prepare for TRACS 203A implementation.

This assessment also includes a review of the security deposit amounts collected for current residents to ensure these align with program and/or state specific requirements and are consistently charged.
