After experiencing significant onsite staff turnover, a 112-unit HUD/LIHTC affordable housing property in New York witnessed a notable decline in resident file quality, organization, and overall compliance. Housing Consultants of America (HCA) was engaged to perform a comprehensive affordable housing compliance initiative, conducting a 100% HUD and LIHTC file audit to identify compliance deficiencies, reorganize resident files, and provide hands-on support in correcting the issues uncovered during the review. HCA's compliance team discovered extensive deficiencies across the files, necessitating more than just a traditional audit. Our specialists collaborated directly with the property team to review every file, restore documentation to its proper order, identify missing or inconsistent information, address certification and verification concerns, and establish clear corrective-action priorities. HCA remained onsite for two months, combining thorough HUD and LIHTC housing file audits, corrective-action support, file remediation, certification review, and compliance consulting to help stabilize the property after the staffing disruption. During that period, the property improved from numerous compliance findings to approximately 97% file compliance within 60 days. Beyond merely correcting individual files, HCA established an organized and sustainable compliance process, enabling the property team to proceed with stronger documentation and enhanced audit readiness. This engagement illustrates how HCA's affordable housing compliance services, including HUD file audits, LIHTC file audits, compliance remediation, onsite compliance staffing, and corrective-action support, can assist owners and management companies in swiftly recovering when turnover, staffing shortages, or declining file quality jeopardize a property's compliance.
