Explains Rules Governing HUD
Multifamily Housing
FAIRFAX, VA,
July 14, 2004 –ICF Consulting and The Compass
Group announce the publication of Managing
Occupancy: A Companion Guide to HUD's Occupancy Handbook,
a new guidebook on occupancy requirements for the more
than 2.5 million multifamily housing units operating under
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
regulations.
The Companion Guide is a comprehensive reference
tool for owners and managers of HUD multifamily housing and
an important resource for other federally-assisted housing
throughout the United States. The guide is designed to help
managers and owners of HUD-subsidized rental housing properties
understand their occupancy responsibilities. It covers a
wide array of occupancy subjects, ranging from technical
issues likely to be addressed by front-line management staff
(i.e., determining annual and adjusted income and calculating
rent) to larger policy issues of interest to senior level
management and property owners (i.e., admissions preferences
and occupancy standards). The Companion Guide includes
tips and feedback provided by experienced managers working
on the front lines as well as citations to the HUD Occupancy
Handbook to help managers quickly identify the materials
they need to review to address more specialized situations.
"Finally, explanations and examples with real world
applications—the Guide was an instant hit!" stated Bill
Wollinger, President of Winn Residential. "The Companion
Guide provides our property management profess-sionals an
innovative tool to enhance their knowledge and understanding
of the 4350.3 Rev 1 HUD Handbook."
Using this reference as a companion resource to the HUD
Occupancy Handbook (HUD 4350.3), occupancy professionals
will save time and gain an improved understanding of the
rules governing HUD multifamily housing. Others who will
benefit from the book include attorneys and consultants who
advise clients on HUD multifamily issues, housing regulators
including performance-based contract administrators, and
those who need to understand the complex rules governing
eligibility for multifamily housing subsidies.
The Companion Guide is arranged in a reader-friendly
question-and-answer format with extensive indexing and cross-referencing
to the HUD Occupancy Handbook. Periodic updates will be provided
to ensure the content remains current. For more information,
