Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: The City’s Housing Division are aware of HUD’s requirement to have written policies and procedures in place for each HUD formula grant funding source (CDBG & HOME), including environmental reviews, financial management, uniform relocation assistance, and lead paint abatement. The barriers to carrying out rental housing monitoring activities have largely been centered around: 1) lack of sufficient number of staff to perform all job tasks, including training and monitoring and, 2) insufficient training information and opportunities on the subject of rental housing monitoring, including how to properly calculate restricted rent amounts and tenant income. As part of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan implementation creation and adoption of Policies and Procedures to perform this work was identified. Name of Responsible Person: Director of Development Services – currently vacant Housing Program Supervisor - Kimberly Nutt Projected Implementation Date: The consultant assisting the City has prepared a Draft of the Policies and Procedures which are currently being reviewed. We anticipate final approval and implementation by end of January 2027.
