Corrective Action Plan: Upon assuming the role of Executive Director in July 2024, it became clear that rent reasonableness studies were not being conducted under the previous administration, as required. Recognizing the importance of compliance with HUD regulations, I initiated the implementation of a rent reasonableness policy and process. To support this effort, we entered into a contract with MRI to provide us with the rent reasonableness software. Last year we supplied MRI with the necessary property addresses and zip codes to begin the analysis. Due to the complexity of the implementation and the volume of data required, the setup process took time. We are now actively incorporating rent reasonableness determinations into all tenant files during annual recertifications and interims. With nearly 700 families in our program, this is an ongoing process, but significant progress has been made. Our team is fully committed to ensuring full compliance with HUD regulations, and we continue to work diligently toward that goal. In addition, to ensure continued compliance and to maintain the integrity of our files, the HCV Supervisor will be conducting weekly audits. This internal quality control measure helps us identify and address any inconsistencies or issues in a timely manner.
