HOME RHD COMPLIANCE • Project Set-Up, Payment Request, Completion Reports: Used during the construction/rehab phase • RHD Data Compliance Report: • due December 21st each year • Inservice Report: due April 21st • each year
Regularly check the DOH website to ensure you are using the most current forms!
Set-up is used to identify key aspects of the project such as total anticipated costs and sources of funds, this is completed prior to the first payment request. • Payment requests must be accompanied by back-up documentation justifying the expenses. The number of payment requests will be identified in your contract. • Completion report is done when the HOME units are fully leased and you may draw your remaining 5%. This reviews final sources of funds and provides us with tenant information. HOME RHDCOMPLIANCE DURING CONSTRUCTION/REHAB • Project Set-Up • Payment Requests • Completion Reports

HOME RHD COMPLIANCE Actual % of CMI (The tricky one!) CMI = “County Median Income” HUD prints income limits by state, county, and household size annually • Take the HUD listed 50% income limit (listed as “very low income” limit) for your county and the appropriate household size • Double that income limit and divide by the household’s income Income = Household % CMI 100% CMI
HOME RHD COMPLIANCE Actual % of CMI (The tricky one!) Step 1: $23,450 * 2 = $46,900 (or 100 % CMI) Step 2: $18,600/ $46,900 = 39.7 % CMI e.g. 2 person household in Bayfield County earns $18,600 per year OK for “Low unit” (<50% CMI) OK for “High unit” (<60% CMI) Too much for “Sub unit” (<30% CMI)
