The software automates a series of complex and time- <br />consuming income and rent calculations that must be performed for every tenant to ensure <br />individual tenants and the overall property are in compliance with federal, state and local income <br />and rent restrictions. <br /> <br />FOCUS is used to monitor over 500 affordable housing properties representing over 55,000 units. <br />The program has proven to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with compliance <br />monitoring while improving reporting compliance, reducing paperwork and increasing accuracy. <br /> <br />U.S. Communities can provide the custom software or additional compliance services (including, <br />but not limited to compliance training and/or consulting support) to assist cities in managing their <br />affordable housing compliance requirements. <br /> <br />U.S. Communities is a joint powers authority sponsored by the League of California Cities and the <br />California State Association of Counties. Its mission is to create programs that assist local <br />authorities to build better communities, stimulate social and economic growth and save public <br />agencies time and resources. <br /> <br />Please visit www.housinqcompliance.orq for additional information about compliance issues. <br />Lorna Henri is also available to answer questions, and can be reached bye-mail at <br />Ihenri@cacommunities.orq. <br /> <br />Find a Bill, Legislators, Leg Committee, or Ask League Leg Staff <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Visit (and bookmark!) the League's Leqislative Resources Web page <br />(www.cacities.orQlleqresources).
