HUD OIG drafted a fraud bulletin outlining potential common reverse mortgage schemes that borrowers may face, along with actions to take and not take if you are considering a reverse mortgage loan.
HUD OIG is auditing the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) to determine whether it is tracking and improving the timing of its delivery of the Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program funds over the last 20 years, and whether CPD has met Congressional allocation timing requirements. Specifically, HUD OIG will be measuring the timing of three CDBG-DR program delivery points: (1) CPD’s allocation of the funds to grantees, (2) the grantees’ submission of their initial action plans, and (3) CPD’s execution of grant agreements.
