PHA Didn't Administer Its Section 8 Project-Based Voucher Program Properly

HUD’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) selected a PHA for audit based on a referral from HUD’s Office of Labor Standards Enforcement in Seattle. The referral alleged that when the PHA assigned 24 project-based vouchers to the recently constructed site, it didn’t properly execute an Agreement To Enter Into Housing Assistance Payments Contract (forms HUD-52531-A and HUD-52531-B) with the owner. The PHA told auditors that it treated all of its project-based voucher projects that also received assistance through the Sound Families Initiative the same.
