What's New 
    
HUD now requires multi-family housing providers to register new owner entities prior to applying to HUD for financing.  The link for Business Partner Registration can be accessed on HUD's APPS home page.  (See our Useful Links below.) 
 
Use care when completing the registration screen.  Mistakes or missing information on this page can cause problems for your project down the road.  Companies have reported the inability to finalize FASS submissions or difficulty obtaining 2530 approvals due to inaccurate initial registration. 
 
The importance of accurate initial Business Partner Registration, typical problems encountered and the solutions are part of Murphy Consulting's

HUD 2530 & APPS ~ Making the Complex Comprehensible

REAC Tip of the Week -> What is "Site"


Did you know?
 
For the purposes of a REAC Inspection, sidewalks, dumpster enclosures, parking lots, fences, trees, plants and even the dirt are all part of the inspection area called "site." Everything that is not part of a building falls under the category of site, with one exception.  Exterior parking lot lighting is assessed under the sub-category of "Building Exterior."
 
This is important information as you calculate anticipated scores and make decisions on repairs.  Prepare, Mitigate and Succeed. 
 
Look for REAC Inspection training in your area.  Click here for some upcoming sessions we know of in:
Phoenix Arizona --> November 9th & 10th
Seattle Washington --> November 16th & 17th
Miami Florida --> December 7th & 8th
Tip of the Week -> for Non-Profits

Did you know?
 
When your board members change, HUD needs to know. A HUD 2530 Organizational Change submission is required. HUD Project Managers tell us that many non-profit owners are behind on this requirement.
 
HUD will accept the paper version HUD 2530 form, but more local offices are asking non-profit owners to register and submit these changes in APPS.
 
Helping organizations with 2530 submissions (paper or electronic) is Murphy Consulting's specialty.

Praise for the HUD Help Desk
The busy folks at the HUD Help Desk can get a bad rap at times.
 
But one reader reports:
"Carl at the REAC Help Desk was wonderful - even when I was frustrated and tearing my hair out."
