Per State Statute 8-37bb. CHFA is required to report on the demographics of affordable housing developments and waiting list sizes to the Connecticut Legislature each year to demonstrate the effectiveness of state-financed affordable housing programs statewide and the need for additional affordable housing. The Tenant Profile Submission, better known as TPS, and the Waiting List Survey are the means by which CHFA collects this information. The final report is called the Fair Housing Choice and Racial and Economic Integration and can be found on the CHFA website.
TPS Reports should include all demographic data related to the occupants of a development as of September 30th of the current year. The type of data required in a TPS includes income, family size, age, ethnic affiliation, head-of-household status and disability status, among others.
The Waiting List Survey is a break-down of those households on the development's Waiting List as of September 30th.
The TPS report and the Waiting List Survey is required annually on/about October 31st. An email reminder of this task will be sent out yearly containing important information including when you should be receiving an invitation email and due dates (approx. mid July). The invitation received in either your inbox or spam folder will contain a link to the development's secured SharePoint site. The site will contain the required TPS format report and the Waiting List Survey. If the development has previously submitted a TPS, it will be pre-populated with the most current submission's data to be updated. Note: Please ensure that your contact information is up to date, if changes are required, please email your Asset Manager the new contact information for your property. If the contact update is specific to TPS, please email tps@chfa.org the new contact information. SharePoint invitations cannot be forwarded to another colleague to access. If you would like to share the site, please submit the request to tps@chfa.org. The individual(s) will then receive their own invitation in order to access the applicable site shared.
Tenant Profile and Waiting List Survey Submission Instructions
The TPS report and Waiting List Survey must be for each development and submitted through CHFA's SharePoint site for each applicable property. You must use the forms provided.
If you have a company issued Microsoft 365 log-in you would use that Username and Password to log-in utilizing the most current invitation that you would have received. If you don't have one and you have never created a "generic" Microsoft Account then each team member who receives an invitation email would need to do so as follows:
1. Go to Microsoft's
Signup Page and create an account.
2. Fill in the information. (Note: The email address that you use as your Username and the password that you create for your Microsoft Account will also be your User Name and password for your development's SharePoint log-in.)
3. Verify your account via email received from Microsoft. Your account should be activated (after a brief period of time). You then can use your newly created Microsoft Account User Name and password to access your development's TPS and Waiting List Survey in your secured SharePoint site.
