Annual Project Completion Report
In an effort to comply with federal monitoring and compliance requirements, KHC is implementing an Annual Project Compliance Report (APCR) and Annual Project Compliance Certification. The report will allow KHC to meet federal requirements in a cost-effective and efficient manner while minimizing the impact on our partners. This report will be conducted and completed in addition to the occasional onsite and/or desk review. The APCR and Certification will be completed by the recipient/grantee agency and is for agencies receiving the following funding sources from KHC's HCA:
- HOME and/ or AHTF Home Buyer
- HOME and/or AHTF Homeowner Rehab
- HOME TBRA
- Houseworks
- GAP funding Home Buyer and Homeowner Rehab
- Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
- Continuum of Care (CoC) - including Shelter Plus Care and previous supportive housing projects
- Housing Opportunities for Persons With Aids (HOPWA)
The report was sent out via email on April 13, 2016, and is due by close of business on Friday, April 29, 2016. If you did not receive the email or need to get a copy of the APCR, you can find it on the HCA Help Desk, under Compliance. The first tab on the report gives instructions for completing the report. If you have questions about the APCR, please submit a request through the HCA Help Desk, and reference APCR.

2016 HOME Rent Approval Deadlines
Multifamily HOME Program-funded projects, that are still in their affordability period, are required to submit a HOME Annual Rent Approval Form, available on KHC's website, under Asset Mgmt, HOME Rental Program Tools.
The 2013 HOME Final Rule is an amendment to 24CFR 92.252(f)(2), which requires that a participating jurisdiction (PJ) review and approve rents for each HOME-assisted project annually to ensure that the project complies with the HOME rent limits, and to prevent undue increases that would result in a hardship for the residents. For 2016, all HOME-funded projects still in their affordability period are required to submit an Annual Rent Approval Form within 30 days of the release of the HUD HOME Rent Limits, available on HUD's website. Failure to submit the form within 30 days could result in a finding and/or being placed on KHC's Suspension and Debarment List.
If you have any questions or need assistance completing the form, please contact Carlisha McKissic-Roberts at 859-595-5828 or Lisa Russelburg at 270-860-1588.
