Statement of condition 2024-001: For the year ended June 30, 2024, the Corporation did not have a HUD approved Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B).
Criteria: Pursuant to the regulatory agreement and HUD handbook 5381.5 REV-2, the Corporation's management agent must have an approved Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B).
Effect: The Corporation is not in compliance with the regulatory agreement. Management fees should not be paid without an approved Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B).
Cause: The Property changed management agent's effective October 1, 2021 and HUD has not returned an executed Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B) to the new management agent.
Recommendation: Management should continue to request the executed Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B) from HUD. Management should not pay any management fees until the executed Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B) is received.
Completion date: June 30, 2025
Management's response: Agree. Management received email correspondence from HUD on August 12, 2021 that stated the Agent is approved to take over management immediately and the Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B) would be retroactively effective. Management has continued to seek the executed Project Owner's/Management Agent's Certification (HUD-9839-B) from HUD.
