OAHP TOOLS

TPA Processing and Closing Docket Submission. OAHP recently completed research intoTPA processing practices (and its impact on submitting Closing Dockets). The research resulted in several improvements that OAHP believes will streamline the processing and improve delivery of the Closing Dockets. The zipped file contains the following documents: Memo describing improvements; revised Appendix D of the OPG; revised Chapter 8 of the OPG, Revised Modified TPA Approval Letter; New PAE Certification for Preliminary Full TPA Approval; and New PAE Certification for Final Full TPA Approval. (April 22, 2004) Appendix D: TPA Tools (zipped file) was updated on April 27, 2004, in coordination with the changes.

M2M Underwriting Models: Any new deals should be started using these revised models. At this stage, older deals should be on Standard revision 4.36 or IRP Bifurcation revision 4.46. Upgrading a 4.36 or 4.46 model is optional; however, an upgrade is strongly recommended for any model that is older than 4.36 or 4.46. Model revisions are indicated on the upper right corner of the StartInput worksheet. Also, Forms 7.4 (7.4 Claim Payment Checklist and 7.4a HUD-Held Restructuring Summary Checklist) have been automated and added to the model.

Firm Commitment (FC) Automated Tool (Updated: February 11, 2005). PAEs may use this optional tool to produce an FC.

It is important to use the correct version of the Transmittal to ensure all appropriate data is transferred to the Firm Commitment.

Instructions (Zipped PDF File).

Underwriting Neighborhood Network Centers (January 19, 2006). Access to computers and the Internet, and the ability to use technology effectively are critical in today’s digital age. People who possess the tools and skills to compete in the global economy are at a distinct advantage over those who do not have them. What makes Neighborhood Networks so unique and effective is that technology access is made available onsite at the housing property. OAHP has created a memorandum which outlines how to underwrite a Neighborhood Networks Center as part of a Mark-to-Market (M2M) restructuring. The memorandum also describes the important coordination that is required between the owner, PAE, Multifamily Neighborhood Networks Coordinator and Multifamily Project Manager, both in underwriting and post closing.

Approval of the Public Interest Survey Peformance Incentive Fee (March 24, 2004). This memorandum outlines recent audits that revealed the need to strengthen the process for approval of the Public Interest Survey performance incentive fee. We have developed a PAE Certification to ensure the PAE is complying with all OPG requirements for tenant notices and meetings (including how comments are addressed in the Submission). We also took the opportunity to modify and add several forms related to the process. To access the forms go to the OPG Revisions web page.

PAE Responsibilities for Projects Refinanced with Bond Financing (April 10, 2003). This memorandum outlines in the PAE's responsibilities with respect to Bond Submission to OAHP's Bond Department for both Fulls and Lites. (PDF Format)
