is for Executive Directors, Commissioners, voucher program administrators and
their staffs handling the inspection function.
The topics to be covered are: 1.) HUD's Office of the Inspector General HQS
audit approach, rationale and findings to date; 2.) How the OIG HQS findings
relate to a PHA's SEMAP HQS scores; 3.) Guidance from a PHA perspective on the
procedures and structure to minimize HQS violations and handle rent abatements
when necessary; 4.) Best Practice from a small PHA with a high SEMAP score on
how to handle to HQS function successfully
Adapting the voucher program operations to address HQS issues will prove instrumental
to PHAs' successes in SEMAP. This e-Briefing will focus on new ways to use inspection
and quality control tools for effective implementation. NAHRO's e-Briefing will
supplement the information provided in the OIG reports on the HUD web-site and
other SEMAP information.
