Overview

Mission

Support housing needs for low income families. Owner/Agents may appeal their evaluation only when they receive a rating of either Below Average or Unsatisfactory on the overall rating. There are two opportunities for appeal: (1) the First Level Appeal, and (2) the Second Level Appeal. **First Level Appeal** The First Level Appeal must be received by LOMOD within 30 days of the MOR report date. A decision on the Initial Appeal and transmittal to the Owner/Agent will be sent within 45 days of the receipt of the appeal. **Second Level Appeal** The Second Level Appeal must be forwarded to HUD within 15 days of receipt of the First Level Appeal determination, rendered by the PBCA, and must include additional documentation to support changes t.

Operating model

Revenue model

Grant-funded. 97% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.

Distribution model

Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
