AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Project had a shortfall of $803 in the security deposit trust account as of December 31, 2022.
  • Impacted Requirements: This violates the HUD regulatory agreement, which mandates that security deposits must be maintained in a separate trust account equal to or exceeding the liability.
