Many still have not complied with CCR and DUNS number requirements, according to a recent HUD reminder.
Housing Notice H 2011-01, provided owners of PRACS, 202's, 811's and Project-Based Section 8 with 60 days to obtain DUNS & CCR numbers and submit the required certification. That was 15 months ago.
In May, HUD will implement a new Funding System. Owners who are not in compliance with DUNS and CCR requirements by April 23, 2012 will risk suspension of their housing assistance. Make sure that does not mean you. See our Helpful Links below to assist you in meeting HUD's requirement. Murphy Consulting provides tips, tricks and troubleshooting for the HUD Secure System, APPS and more. Contact us today for help! (410) 821-6953 |

REAC Tip - Flammable Materials | |
Did you know? Motorcycles, with gasoline in the tank, may not be kept inside a residential unit or in a residential building's basement that is not designed for such storage.
As it may be a tough sell to convince an inspector that a motorcycle does not have gasoline in the tank, the best course, to avoid a deficiency for improperly stored flammable materials, is to assure residents keep these possessions on the parking lot.
REAC has recently reminded inspectors to use good professional judgment and some common sense when evaluating flammable/combustible materials during a REAC Inspection. But as far as REAC preparation goes, property staff are always better being over-prepared than underprepared.

Special Tip - CCR reminder | |
Did you know? CCR requires Owners to recertify annually.
Check your registration today to assure you are not found out of compliance. See our Helpful Links below to check on your certification status

| APPS Tip - Signatures | |
Did you know? You can have board members, officers or owners sign separate 2530 signature pages.
This can be a real relief for organizations whose principals are spread out geographically or who travel often. Please do remember, while HUD will accept a counter-signed 2530 Submission Package, you must gather all the signatures together and submit them in one package to HUD.

| Spring Training - EIV, APPS and more | |
Federal ISS Training - an EIV & TRACS Requirement
This is an annual requirement for EIV Users, Coordinators and those employees and consultants who view and handle the EIV print outs for your property. You can take this training on-line from HUD, but many find it cumbersome and confusing to navigate, preferring instead, to participate in a group training that provides the same Certificate.

If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me "I saw you speak at . . . " but then did not come up and introduce themselves. . .
As a frequent speaker, I know it can seem a bit hectic after a presentation, but please do not hesitate to come up and introduce yourself.
I love to meet people I have only spoken to on the phone, or anyone interested in APPS/2530. Don't be shy - walk up and say hello!

HUD 2530 -
Does that mean me?
| |
HUD will verify you have a current and accurate HUD 2530 on file at Contract Renewal and even hold up your Rent Increase.
Any time principals of the owner or management agent change (and that means new board members on the non-profit boards too) an updated 2530 filing is required.
Don't get caught out of compliance! |
