What's New

  

If you've ever heard Denise Murphy speak at a conference or attended one of her trainings, you know she has 2 rules when it comes to HUD: 
 Do not share; and Do not assume
There is now a new rule topping the list. 

 

Rule #1: Do not lie to HUD
This sounds so simple and straightforward, yet one would be amazed at the number of people in the industry who look for shortcuts or ways to beat the system.
 
People ask "Do I have to use my real Social Security Number?"; People continue to log-in with former employee's ID's; People take other actions we will not repeat here.
 
HUD's Warning: "HUD will prosecute false claims and statements."

 

Denise's Reminder:  "Make sure that doesn't mean you."

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.

HUD 2530

Does this 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!
