Summary

HUD OIG is initiating an audit to estimate improper payments in HUD’s Tenant-Based Rental Assistance program (TBRA) under the Office of Public and Indian Housing (PIH). 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 PIH-TBRA program are proper; if improper, then we will estimate the total improper and unknown payments.
