Each year, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) designates buildings for participation in the Underlying Conditions Program (Local Law 6 of 2013). These buildings are selected based on the number and severity of class "B" and "C" violations related to the presence of mold or water leaks issued by HPD within the past year and an inspection is attempted to verify conditions before the order is issued.

,This dataset provides information on Tempe's subsidized housing program. Tempe has a fixed number of Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) based on our HUD contract, which represents the maximum number of families that the Housing Authority could assist. Congress and HUD do not fund the program to assist all of the families we are allotted to assist. We can only assist the number of families we have the budget to assist.,HUD provides an initial funding amount based on what they anticipate they will allocate to housing assistance payments. The actual amount of funding received is subject to change depending on Federal Budget priorities, Congressional approval and many other factors.,Expenditures are reported monthly, as HUD requires expenses to be posted in the month they were incurred rather than the month the expense was paid.,The performance measure dashboard is available at 3.05 Subsidized Housing.,Additional Information,Source: Manually maintained data, Housing Pro and Quickbooks,Contact: Irma Hollamby Cain,Contact Phone: 480-858-2264,Data Source Type: Excel,Preparation Method: Monthly values are calculated by determining the month each of the expenditures was for and retroactively accruing the funding use to the appropriate period. There are multiple, multistep excel worksheets that are used to balance between the specialty Housing Software, City Financial System and the HUD mandated reporting system. Additionally, it is important to note that Funding is allocated by Congress on the Federal Fiscal Year (October - September), the City operates on a Fiscal Year (July - June) and HUD provides funding on the Housing Authority in Calendar Year (January - December) funding increments. Therefore, the City must cross balance between three funding years.,Publish Frequency: Annually,Publish Method: Manual,Data Dictionary,,
