HUD OIG is reviewing HUD's corrective actions in response to four specific recommendations made in audit reports 2012-PH-0004, 2013-PH-0002, 2014-PH-0001, and 2015-PH-0004.  Our prior audits showed that HUD’s controls did not always ensure that HECM loan borrowers complied with program residency requirements.  The audits included a recommendation to prevent and mitigate instances of borrowers violating the principal residency requirements.   The objective of our audit is to determine whether HUD's actions to address the recommendations were adequate.

HUD OIG is conducting an audit to assess the Department's assurance of public housing agencies processing of reasonable accommodation requests.  Reasonable accommodations are an essential tool to protect the housing rights of tenants with disabilities.  The audit objective is to determine whether HUD’s Office of Public and Indian Housing had adequate policies and procedures for ensuring that its public housing agencies properly addressed, assessed, and fulfilled requests for reasonable accommodations, including COVID-19 related requests.
