The section requires the Inspector General of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, within 180 days of a written request from either committee, to give that committee an analysis of the agency's compliance with its agreements with the Department, a review of what the receiver or monitor and any private development partners have done including gaps in oversight, an assessment of the physical condition of the housing and compliance with health and safety rules, an examination of allegations of waste, fraud, abuse, or violations of federal law by employees or contractors, any other pertinent information, and recommendations for improving compliance or oversight.

That sentence, in plain words

The watchdog office must report to the committee that asked. It must say how far the agency has kept its promises to the housing agency. It must name where the agency falls short and where it has moved forward.

What this is about

The report is due within 180 days of a written request. It also covers the state of the buildings. It covers any claim of fraud by staff or contractors.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
