Finding Text

Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities (Section 811), CFDA 14.181 Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations (24 CFR 5.703) states that HUD housing must be decent, safe, sanitary and in good repair. Also, the Project?s HUD Regulatory Agreement states that the property must be maintained in good and substantial repair and condition. Statement of Condition: On December 8, 2021, the Project received a score of 50c on its HUD physical inspection. This score resulted from numerous health and safety and other deficiencies. Cause: Most of the items listed as deficiencies are under the covenants of the HOA (Homeowners Association) and therefore the responsibility of the HOA to correct. Effect: A physical inspection score below 60 indicates that the owner may not be fulfilling its contractual obligations to HUD and that the residents may not be receiving the quality of housing to which they are entitled. Recommendation: The owner should correct all deficiencies inside the unit as soon as possible and make all necessary repairs to be in compliance with HUD. They should also contact the HOA to make the necessary repairs to the exterior. Views of Responsible Officials: All deficiencies and necessary repairs of the owners unit will be made as soon as possible. The HOA has been notified of the requested repairs to the outside of the unit. The HOA is responsible for these exterior repairs.
