Leasing

We perform all aspects of leasing and lease enforcement for your property: advertising, rental agreement preparation, house rules, and all other leasing documents, in accordance with Affirmative Fair Housing Practices. We possess the ability to tailor our services to the particular concerns of the client and property. Site managers review documents with all qualified applicants. We select residents based on the resident-selection plan developed for and with the owner in accordance with any and all Regulatory Agreements, restrictive documents, and Fair Housing Laws.

Resident Certification

The site manager reviews assets and incomes of all applicants to determine compliance with the income limits established for the property. Existing residents are re-certified as required by applicable authorities.

Our occupancy specialists oversee all certifications and review reports and housing assistance payment requests. All files are submitted to our compliance department for approval prior to move in and at certification.

Reporting

We handle all compliance issues, including reporting, billing, distribution, and processing responsibilities to all other agencies with jurisdiction over the project. This includes TRACS electronic transfers for HUD payments.

Demographics

We employ management information systems that provide demographic reports as required by various government and private sponsors. We have experience in soliciting residents for facilities designed and funded for a specific clientele, such as HUD’s 811 program. We work closely with the owners to ensure optimal utilization for targeted populations while complying with Fair Housing laws.

Standards & Procedures

Procedures for eligibility comply with the Regulatory Agreements of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, California Tax Credit Allocation Committee, Housing Finance Agency, Housing and Community Development, Debt Limit Allocation Committee, and local Community Redevelopment Agencies. CHMS follows and applies HUD’s 4350.3 Occupancy Requirements of Subsidized Multifamily Housing Programs and Fair Housing laws.
