Aren’t all HUD Programs PRAC-tically the Same?

The answer to that question is No.  This special class is focused on PRAC Contracts and what makes them unique.  We will highlight was makes PRAC project eligibility different from other HUD Multifamily programs and discuss how these properties are funded and financed in a unique way.  In addition to these nuances, we will also cover the common recertifications scenarios encountered by PRAC managers like fixed income verification options, asset verifications, and unique termination requirements.  Don’t miss this opportunity to get on “TRACK with your PRAC.”

TRACS Recertification Deadline

Sarah Snow Compliance, Vouchers

It’s time for everyone who uses TRACS and/or iMAX to be recertified in order to continue submitting vouchers and tenant data.  In 2017, HUD set forth requirements for all TRACS Users, including a requirement that they must be recertified annually by their Secure Systems Coordinator in order to have access to the TRACS and iMAX systems.  This recertification must be done no later than November 30, 2018.  Failure to comply with this requirement will result in denied TRACS/iMAX access and a possible delay in voucher payment.  Please visit this link for further instructions. 

 

Potential Inclement Weather – Gulf of Mexico

Sarah Snow Uncategorized

There is currently a low pressure disturbance over the south-central Gulf of Mexico that has the potential to become a tropical system and impact the Texas coast later this week.

The Texas Governor’s office has issued the following statement, “In light of recent heavy rainfall across the state, we are on high-alert as any additional rain could quickly create dangerous flash flooding conditions. I urge all Texans to take precautions and review their emergency plans now to prepare for any potential impact to their community.”

We recommend that properties on/near the Texas Gulf Coast closely monitor this disturbance throughout the week via news outlets or the National Hurricane Center (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/). We also encourage all properties to review the disaster preparedness tips found in the full ListServ #186: https://conta.cc/2CWewW6.
