HUDBlast

RBD was the first organization that provided a ListServ to help make property management professionals aware of announcements from HUD.  Since 2002, the HUDBlast has been a resource used by thousands of property managers in their efforts to maintain the highest level of compliance.  The RBD HUDBlast and HUD's RHIIP ListServ have become essential tools for our customers.

Valuable Resource Materials

We've gather information specific to HUD's Multifamily Housing Programs to provide a "one-stop" resource related to various topics.

HOTMA Resources
There is a lot of confusion about how HOTMA changes will affect HUD's Multifamily Housing Programs.  Go to our HOTMA Resources Page to find links to HUD's resources.  Also check out documents we have created such as the HOTMA TSP Checklist and HOTMA EIV Checklist.  We created these two forms to help you ensure that your updated policies include required information.  We have also developed implementation checklists and other resources you may find helpful as you prepare to implement HOTMA.

Whether you're just getting started and need information about accessing HUD's Tenant Rental Assistance Certification System (TRACS) or if you're looking for resources to help you understand how TRACS works, we can help.  Check out our TRACS Resource Page for complete information about how HUD's database works.
EIV Resources
HUD's Enterprise Income Verification System (EIV) provides information sourced from the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) and HUD to help owner/agents verify income and identify potential improper payments.  Our resources can help you understand how to access EIV, what the use requirements are and how HOTMA affects EIV.
