Summary

HUD OIG is initiating an audit to estimate improper payments in HUD’s Project-Based Assistance program (PBRA) under the Office of Multi-Family Housing (MF). HUD has not been able to perform an estimate of this program as required by the Payment Integrity Information Act (PIIA) of 2019 for the last 8 years. Our objective is to determine whether a sample of housing assistance payments (HAP) in the MF-PBRA program are proper; if improper, then we will estimate the total improper and unknown payments.
