The Compliance team monitors properties financed with housing tax credits, HOME funds, and other funding sources. The Compliance team ensures the long-term preservation of affordable housing and that federal law and LHC requirements are followed. To achieve these objectives, the Compliance team employs a training, education, and technical assistance approach with its owner and property manager partners.
Federal regulations require all properties to be inspected, and the frequency of inspections is dictated by the project's source(s) of funding. In addition to site inspections, the monitoring team also reviews tenant files to ensure program requirements are met; and the desk monitoring team receives and reviews annual compliance certifications and submissions, due every year on February 15th.
