CFDA No. 14.871; Grant period - year ended December 31, 2022 Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations and HUD guidelines give the requirements for annual inspections to determine if the units leased to families meet the Housing Quality Standards.

The PHA must require the owner to correct any life threatening HQS deficiencies within 24 hours after the inspections and all other HQS deficiencies within 30 calendar days or within a specified PHA-approved extension. Condition & Cause: HQS inspections were tested for compliance in the current year. Of the 12 failed HQS inspections selected for review: 5 units were not re-inspected within the 30-day requirement. Effect: Non-compliance with HUD regulations.
