HUD's Office of Multifamily Housing Programs, Office of Asset Management has authorized REAC to implement a blanket 30 day extension for owners with project fiscal year ends of 12/31/2008. This extension applies only to financial statements due March 30, 2009. (Owners with a fiscal year end of 12/31/08)

The extended FASS due date is April 30, 2009. 
Owners/auditors need not request an extension in FASS. 
The extension has been automatically implemented.

REAC Tip of the Week

Did you know?

Rejected Financial and Management Operation submissions result in a Late Presumptive Failure (LPF) score of zero.  LPF Flags happen more often than you know.

Complete your FASS filing early.  This allows time to correct rejection issues by the submission due date. 


Murphy Consulting knows HUD's standards.  Contact us today to help you prepare, mitigate and succeed.
