Section 8 Contract Administration - Management and Occupancy Reviews

The Contract Compliance Section of the Division of Program Compliance is responsible for conducting annual Management and Occupancy Reviews (“M&ORs”) for each project assigned to THDA under the Annual Contributions Contract (“the ACC”). The review includes Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) compliance and monitoring exigent health and safety issues resulting from REAC inspections. The FHEO compliance report is submitted to Tennessee’s Fair Housing office.

The ACC requires that THDA perform M&ORs under a pre-approved schedule. M&ORs are conducted according to the current year’s workplan. Owners and their management agents are notified of the date and time of the review not less than two weeks prior to the M&OR. Pre-inspection packages are mailed to the owner/management agents for their return one week prior to the M&OR for Contract Compliance desk review. Form 9834 (M&OR compliance) reports must be submitted to the owner within thirty (30) days of conducting the review. Owner responses to the Form 9834 must be returned to THDA within thirty (30) days of the issue date on the report. Extensions can be requested for owner responses.

The Contract Compliance Section offers Compliance Training for owners, managers, and dedicated compliance staff of Project-Based Section 8 properties assigned to THDA for contracted monitoring. This training is offered several times per year in various locations in the state. To register for the training, please complete the registration form found on this webpage.
