Corrective Action Plan

PRPHA has a provider with vast experience in this program and is currently serving other government authorities in the mainland that are entitled with this program. We have assured that they are following the regulations that are set forth by the Treasury Department. However, because of the short period of time that we have had this program in Puerto Rico we have had to adapt the practices that have been adopted in the other agencies as the formal procedures as a start up implementation. We are establishing more procedures as the program evolves in the island. This is an on going action plan.
