Once a tenant’s certification is signed, compliance will add that certification  to the queue to be included in the next TRACS transmission.  All properties governed by the HUD 4350.3 Revision 1 must submit resident data to TRACS.  To ensure payments are paid by TRACS by the 1^st of the month, submit the transmission no later than the 10^th of the previous month. Vouchers are submitted 1 month prior to the effective date.

For those properties that are project based section 8 and receiving subsidy from HUD, a voucher is submitted every month.  Properties are paid based on the voucher amount.  In order for TRACS to pay a submitted voucher, TRACs will conduct 2 “tests.  They will confirm that the voucher is in the TRACS data base and the property’s compliance percentage is 90% or greater.

The purpose of a HUD MOR and a TCAC audit is to verify compliance of the property with the terms of the various HUD and Tax Credit agreements and restrictions., HUD conducted the MOR audit on an annual basis while TCAC conducts their  audit, unless the site is out of compliance.

LOMCO will conduct a preparatory review of the organization’s operation, tenant files, forms, and documents related to the Audit. Before the actual audit  Compliance will be reviewed to determine property status by referring to REAC inspections, previous HUD MOR Congressional inquiries, response to resident concerns in a timely manner. A member from the Compliance department will meet with the own/agent to review the HUD MOR Questionnaire and determine whether existing policy conditions and procedure are acceptable and if corrective action is needed.  A random audit of resident files will be conducted to verify HUD compliance.  The supervisor of the compliance department will attend the audit and follow  up with any corrective action if necessary .

The primary goal of the Tenant Selection Plan is to provide a checks and balances system to ensure compliance with the HUD program requirements and to develop a standard by which each applicant is treated equally and has equal opportunity for residency in accordance with Federal, State and Local laws.  LOMCO will research and verify compliance with the procedures and criteria by which management will conduct the rental process and select/reject tenant for occupancy at the sites
