Summary
PURPOSE: To assess management and oversight of multifamily housing projects.
INSTRUCTIONS: This form is to be completed by HUD staff, Performance Based Contract Administrators (PBCA), Traditional Contract Administrators (CAs) and Mortgagees of Coinsured Projects (Mortgagees). The Management Review form consists of three parts: Desk Review, On-site Review with Addenda, and Summary Report. All reviewers of subsidized projects must complete Addenda (A, B, C, & D). Reviewers of unsubsidized projects must complete Addenda B & C only. If any questions on any given form are not relevant to the program under review or if the information is not available, notate with “N/A”. FHEO staff provide MFH staff a list of requests for documents and special observations each year. Additional guidance regarding the management process can be found in HUD Handbooks 4350.1, REV-1 and 4566.2.
A. Prior to On-Site Review
Complete Part I – Desk Review
To complete the Desk Review worksheet prior to the on-site visit, review the project files, system reports, and other documents, and contact the HUD representative for any unavailable information needed to complete the desk review. Fair Housing/Civil Rights review requirements are all in Addendum B. This portion of the review will assist the reviewer in identifying potential problem areas. Owner must complete Addendum B, Part A, and send it to Multifamily Housing. HUD staff must complete the entire Desk Review for subsidized projects. For unsubsidized projects, HUD staff/mortgagees must complete all applicable sections. CAs must complete the entire Desk Review except where noted “This question applies only to HUD Staff/Mortgagees.”
Schedule a date for the on-site review with the owner/agent and confirm the review date in writing. The owner/agent should be given at least a two-week notice in writing and notified of the documents that need to be available the day of the review, as specified in Addendum C. Addendum C provides a list of documents notated by the reviewer that the owner/agent must have available during the on-site review. Addendum C and Part A of Addendum B must be forwarded to the owner/agent with the letter confirming the scheduled on-site review. The reviewer may request additional items as necessary.
B. Conducting the On-Site Review
Complete Part II – On-Site Review
On-Site Reviews will be completed as follows:
(1) HUD staff and Mortgagees must complete all applicable questions in Part II.
(2) CAs must complete all questions in Part II except where noted “This question applies only to HUD staff/Mortgagees.”
(3) HUD staff completing a review of a project which is also reviewed by a CA will only complete questions not applicable to CAs.
In accordance with Part D, bring back all information requested by FHEO.
Use additional sheets as necessary to complete applicable questions.
Upon completion of the on-site review, the reviewer will hold a close-out session with the owner/agent to discuss observations and conclusions.
C. After On-Site Review
The reviewer will record deficiencies, findings and corrective actions. Findings must include the condition, criteria, cause, effect and required corrective action. The condition describes the problem or deficiency. The criteria should cite the statutory, regulatory or administrative requirements that were not met. The cause explains why the condition occurred. The effect describes what happened because of the condition. The corrective action provides what the owner/agent must do to eliminate the deficiency. The corrective action must include a requirement that the owner determine and correct not only the discovered errors and omissions, but also describe to the reviewer how and what systems, controls, policies and procedures were adjusted or changed to assure that the errors and omissions do not reoccur. In completing the Report of Findings, the reviewer should also indicate the target completion date.
The reviewer retrieves Addendum B and forwards the completed form to FHEO, along with the approved initial or updated Affirmative Fair Housing Marketing Plans in accordance with “General Operational Procedures for the Civil Rights Front-End and Limited Monitoring Reviews of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Projects”, which may be found on FHEO’s web site.
Complete Summary Report as follows:
Based on the Report of Findings, the reviewer will assess the overall performance for each applicable category. The reviewer must indicate A (Acceptable) or C (Corrective action required) and include target completion dates (TCD) for all corrective action items. For those items not applicable, indicate “N/A” in the TCD column.
For each of the seven major categories (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G), rate each category by entering a score between 1 and 100. If a category was not reviewed, enter a score of zero (0). After rating the individual categories, an overall rating must be assessed. This rating will be based upon the ratings assigned in categories A through G. CAs will rate all categories except Category D. Category D is for HUD staff and Mortgagees only. Additional guidance for ratings can be found in HUD Handbook 4350.1, REV-1.
Distribute the Summary Report and cover letter as follows:
Project Owner (original)
Management Agent (copy)
HUD office for PBCA reviews rated below average or unsatisfactory
HUD office for all traditional CA reviews
*A copy of the completed Management Review Report, form HUD-9834 and supporting documents must be maintained in the project file.
If a below average or unsatisfactory rating is determined, the owner/agent must be afforded an opportunity to appeal. Guidance on appeal procedures is provided in HUD Handbook 4350.1, REV-1.
All Secure Systems users must document all required data in the Integrated Real Estate Management System (iREMS).
D. Management Review Deficiency Follow up:
Reviewer must conduct follow-up activity until all corrective actions as required in the Summary Report have been completed. Enter applicable close-out dates in iREMS.
Housing reviewers will forward all completed FHEO checklists and attachments to FHEO within five (5) business days of their own on-site reviews or within 5 business days of receipt of the checklists from the CA, as applicable. Follow-up instructions may be found on FHEO’s web site.
NOTE: The Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) checklist has been included as part of this management review form; however no determination of compliance with applicable Fair Housing laws and regulations is included in the summary report. CAs must forward the original checklist (Addendum B) to HUD staff. HUD staff must maintain the original checklist in the project file and forward a copy to the Office of FHEO in the appropriate jurisdiction for review.

Instructions for completing part a
General instructions: Complete the project name, FHA/project number, and section 8/pac/prac information in the form header for each page:
section i - Owner/Agent must respond to all questions in this section.
1. Check the appropriate box that the project was designed to serve. (Check only one box. Do not leave blank.)
Exclusively Elderly - defined as a person 62 years of age or older. (This option is for projects that were designed to serve only elderly persons/families, i.e. Section 202 PRAC properties)
Exclusively Disabled – Refer to HUD Handbook 4350.3, REV-1, Figure 3-6 for the applicable definition of disability. (This option is for projects that were designed to serve only persons with disabilities, i.e., Section 202/8 Projects for the Disabled and Section 811 projects. Please note that Section 202/8 Projects for the Disabled were developed to serve only non-elderly persons with disabilities. However, the Section 811 Projects were developed to serve persons with disabilities regardless of age as long as the minimum age requirement (age 18) is met.)
Elderly and Disabled – defined as a property that serves the elderly and non-elderly persons with disabilities. (This option is for projects that were originally designed to serve only elderly persons/families, however the owner may have elected a preference under Section 651 of Title VI, Subpart D of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 ( Title VI Subpart D) to reserve a percentage of units for non-elderly persons with disabilities in accordance with the provisions of Section 652, Title VI Subpart D. See instruction 4 below for Section 651 definition.)
Family – defined as all persons regardless of age or disability. (This option is for projects that serve all families with no restrictions or preferences as long as the minimum age requirement is met. Please note that family projects may have some units that are reserved for persons with mobility/vision/hearing impairments which would require the applicant to meet the accessibility features of the unit.)
2. Enter the number of units occupied by each client group. (Please note that the term “near-elderly disabled” is defined as a person who is at least 50 years of age and below the age of 62 with a disability as defined in HUD Handbook 4350.3, REV-1.)
Enter zero “0” if there are no units occupied by the listed client group – do not leave blank.
3. If there is a use agreement or other document requiring that the property must serve only elderly persons, answer “Yes”, in the space provided, and attach a copy of the document(s). If there is no use agreement or other document requiring that the property must serve only elderly persons, answer “No”. If you are unclear on the term “use agreement”, or are not able to locate the use agreement or other document that defines the occupancy of your project, the answer is “unknown”. Other documents include the regulatory agreement, loan commitment papers, financial documents, bid invitation, owner’s management plan, application for funding, and/or application for mortgage insurance. Please refer to HUD Handbook 4350.3, REV-1, paragraphs 3-17 and 3-18. If you do not have a copy of HUD Handbook 4350.3, REV-1, copies can be obtained from www.hudclips.org or the HUD Customer Service Center at (800) 767-7468.
4. Section 651 of Title VI Subpart D permits an owner to give preference1 to elderly families if (1) the project was originally developed to serve the elderly and (2) it is a “covered Section 8 housing project.” “Covered Section 8 housing projects” are projects that were constructed or substantially rehabilitated pursuant to assistance provided under section 8(b)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as in effect before October 1, 1983, that are assisted under a contract for assistance under such section.
Section 651 of Title VI Subpart D applies to the following programs:
The Section 8 New Construction Program, 24 CFR part 880
The Section 8 Substantial Rehabilitation Program, 24 CFR part 881
The State Housing Agencies Program, insofar as it involves new construction and substantial rehabilitation, 24 CFR part 883
The New Construction Set-Aside for Section 515 Rural Rental Housing Projects Program, 24 CFR part 884
The Section 8 Housing Assistance Program for the Disposition of HUD-Owned Projects, insofar as it involves substantial rehabilitation, 24 CFR part 886 subpart C
“Covered Section 8 housing projects” do not include those developed with funding under the following programs:
Section 202;
Section 202/8;
Section 202 or 811 PRAC;
Section 221 (d)(3); and/or
Section 236.
If an owner elects a Section 651 preference for the elderly, the owner must reserve a number of units for non-elderly persons/families with disabilities. Title VI Subpart D requires that the owner review the occupancy records on January 1, 1992 and October 28, 1992, the date of enactment for Title VI Subpart D, and determine the number of non-elderly persons with disabilities that occupied units on those two dates. Compare the higher of the two numbers with 10 percent of total project units. The lower of the two resulting numbers must be reserved for non-elderly persons with disabilities, or families with disabilities.
For example, an owner has a covered Section 8 project that consists of 100 units, and decides to implement an elderly preference under Section 651. The first thing the owner must do is find the occupancy records for January 1992 and see how many units were occupied by non-elderly personswith disabilities, or families with disabilities, on January 1. In this example, it was 10 units.
Then the owner must find the occupancy records for October 1992 and see how many units were occupied by non-elderly persons/families with disabilities on October 28th, the date of the enactment of the Act. In this example it was 15 units.
To obtain the number of units that must be reserved for non-elderly disabled persons or families, the owner must take the higher number of the two dates, which in this example is 15.
Then the owner will then compare that number 15 with a number that is 10 percent of the total project units In this example it’s 10. Use the lower number for the number of units that must be reserved. Since 10 is less than 15, for this example the owner must reserve 10 units for non-elderly disabled persons or families.
If an owner determines that there were no non-elderly persons or families occupying units on either January 1, 1992 or October 28, 1992, the required number of units to be reserved for non-elderly persons with disabilities would be zero (0). However, owners are encouraged to exceed the number of reserved units for non-elderly persons with disabilities if a need exists in the community.
Answer question 4 as follows:
If there is an elderly preference in accordance with Section 651 of Title VI Subpart D, answer “Yes”. If there is no preference provided to elderly families, answer “No”.
If yes, answer the following:
If there is an occupancy preference in accordance with Section 651, indicate the effective date of the preference.
If there is an occupancy preference in accordance with Section 651, indicate the total number of units that must be reserved for non-elderly persons with disabilities based on the two dates above.
If there is an occupancy preference in accordance with Section 651, indicate which date (see above) was used to determine the number of units that must be reserved for non-elderly persons with disabilities.
5. Section 658 of Title VI, Subpart D of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 ( Title VI Subpart D) permits owners of “other federally assisted housing” to continue to restrict occupancy to elderly families in accordance with the rules, standards, and agreements governing occupancy in such housing in effect at the time the housing was developed. If (A) the project was originally developed to serve the elderly and (B) the project has continually served elderly tenants. These projects include:
Section 202 Direct Loans (prior to the Section 202 PRAC program)
Section 221(d)(3) BMIR properties (New Construction and Substantial Rehabilitation)
Section 236 properties
Answer question 5 as follows:
If there is an elderly restriction in accordance with Section 658 of Title VI Subpart D, answer “Yes”. If there is no elderly restriction and occupancy is not limited to elderly applicants, answer “No”.
6. If the property designates a number of units that can be occupied only by elderly persons, indicate the number of units. If the property does not have units that can only be occupied by elderly persons, enter zero “0”.
7. If the property designates a number of units that can be occupied only by persons with disabilities, indicate the number of units. If the property does not have units that can only be occupied by persons with disabilities, enter zero “0”.
8. If the property has units that must be occupied by non-elderly persons with disabilities, indicate the number of units. If the property does not have units that must be occupied by non-elderly persons with disabilities, enter zero “0”.
CERTIFICATION:
Self-Explanatory Must be signed and dated by the owner.
SECTION II – Owner/Agent must respond to all questions in this section.
1. Enter the total number of units (by bedroom size) and enter total in the ”Total” column.
Totals must match numbers entered for each bedroom size.
2. Enter the total number of units (by bedroom size) that are receiving project based rental assistance.
Totals must match numbers entered for each bedroom size.
3. Enter the number of mobility accessible units by bedroom size, and enter the total in the “Total” column.
