45,000 HUD Flags
  
Recently, HUD launched an initiative to reduce the number of Flags on its properties.  Currently, there are 45,000 active Flags on HUD insured or HUD subsidized properties around the country.
  
Are any of these Flags on your property?
  
A HUD system Coordinator with access to your property can view the Flag Report in APPS.  Now is the time to check your Flag Report and contact your HUD PM or AE and see about resolving any active Flags.

Murphy Consulting provided free guidance on how to run a Flag Report in a past issue of APPS & REAC News and Notes.  Click here for a link to that resource.

This is the time of year when many properties have Flags for late financial filings.  Be sure to check your Flag Report today!

HUD Flag Tip of the Month - Absolved vs Resolved

  
Did you know?  HUD can elect to resolve your Flag, absolve your Flag or keep your Flag unchanged.
  
When a Flag is resolved, HUD moves the Flag from "active" status to "inactive".  Only Active Flags will appear on a Coordinator's Flag Report and only active Flags will come up as a Critical Finding during a HUD 2530 review.
  
When a Flag is absolved, HUD has reviewed the Flag and determined that it should not prohibit 2530 approval for a given transaction. This Flag will still appear as an Active Flag, but HUD will have placed a Participant Mark in their system to identify it as having been reviewed.
 
Murphy Consulting offers HUD 2530 & APPS  help for large and small organizations around the country.  Call us today for a price quote to see if this resource is right for you.

Help with HUD Flags

  
If you have Coordinator access to the HUD system for your property, know how to read a Flag Report and know who your HUD PM or AE is, then you have the tools you need to begin work on resolving your HUD Flags.
  
The relationship between Owners/Agents and HUD is the key to addressing HUD Flags, but in some cases,, hiring a consultant like Murphy Consulting who "speaks HUD" may come in handy. If you would like help with your HUD Flags, call Denise Murphy Edwards at (410) 821-6953

   Thank you!
           
The staff at Murphy Consulting would like to thank all of our clients and industry colleagues who reached out to us this week in the wake of the unrest here in Baltimore.

We remain safe, as our office was not in the direct path of the violence, but we were certainly affected by the devastation and conflict in this city that we love.

We thank you for your prayers for peace, hope, healing and change.
