CHFA oversees rental housing developments in Connecticut that are subject to various compliance and reporting standards associated with their funding source. The Affordable Housing Program was designed to offer low-interest or deferred loans and/or grants to developers and owners of low-income housing. Recipients of funds under this program are required to regularly provide CHFA and/or DOH with documentation that demonstrates their compliance with specific financial, insurance, property, tenant and lease requirements.
The Affordable Housing Program is subject to relevant state of Connecticut statutory and regulatory requirements, as well as the provisions of the Loan Documents and/or Assistance Agreement(s), applicable between the owner and CHFA. All operating expenses must be paid from rents collected from the residents.
Some of the Compliance Reporting Requirements are as follows:
- Audited Annual Financial Statement (AFS) must include Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Owner's Equity, Notes to the Financial Statements, Signed Independent Auditor's Reports (Compliance, Internal Controls, Federal & State Program, etc.), Schedule of Findings (if applicable), Auditee's Corrective Action Plan (if applicable), Signed Owner/Sponsor Certification, Signed Management Agent Certification (if applicable), and CHFA's Supplemental Reports.
