Summary

HUD OIG is initiating an audit of HUD's Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) Program. The PBRA Program subsidizes the rents for nearly 2 million low-income individuals through rental assistance contracts between HUD and private property owners. Our objective is to determine whether individuals improperly received Project-Based Rental Assistance payments while holding an FHA-insured mortgage.
