About MORs
An on-site management and occupancy review (MOR) of each Section 8 project is conducted as funded by HUD. The review is a comprehensive assessment of the owner’s procedures for directing and overseeing project operations, and the adequacy of the procedures for carrying out day to day, front-line activities. Some examples of the areas that are included in the audit are:
-
- Maintenance
- Security
- Leasing
- Occupancy
- Certification and recertification of family income and determination of the family payments
- Financial management
- Management Improvement and Operating (MIO) Plans
- General maintenance practices
The results of the on-site review must provide adequate documentation to support any enforcement actions proposed against the owner by the PHA or HUD. The outcome of the MOR is to identify and resolve areas of noncompliance with HUD regulations and other requirements.
Our Role
The primary responsibility of CMS is to assess management and provide oversight of multifamily housing properties. Management and Occupancy Reviews (MORs) will be performed by at least one member of the Compliance Team. The CMS reviewer evaluates the Owner/Agent’s operating policies, procedures and documentation related to compliance with the HAP Contract as dictated in the regulations, handbooks, notices and guidance issued by HUD.
