Background
In
order for individuals or corporate entities to “participate” or play a role
in a Multifamily Housing property, they must obtain HUD’s approval. Applicants
may request HUD’s approval by submitting a HUD-2530 (Previous Participation
Certification) form to the Field Office responsible for overseeing the specific
property. Applicants must submit a 2530 when one of these conditions is met:
The
HUD-2530 form requires applicants to provide detailed information concerning
their current organization makeup, their past participation, and their
performance in housing projects. When describing their current organization
makeup, applicants must describe the current organization structure, (i.e., the
principal organizations and individuals; the applicant tier and principal tiers
– those tiers that define the structure of organizations in the applicant
tier,) as well as each principal’s per cent ownership and organization role in
its parent entity. In the “History of Participation” portion of the
HUD-2530, applicants must identify the HUD Multifamily and other projects that
the principals have previously or are currently participating in, and note
significant problems (e.g., mortgage default) as well as the results of the
latest management and physical inspection reviews during their project tenure.
All organizations and individuals listed on a HUD-2530, or their designee, must
certify to the authenticity of the information on the form.
HUD reviews each HUD-2530 that is submitted and
determines the applicant’s suitability to participate in light of their record
in carrying out past financial, legal and contractual obligations in a
satisfactory and timely manner. HUD receives approximately 10,000 submissions
annually. Most are decided at the local Field Office. The Field Office forwards
HUD-2530s with significant prior participation problems, numbering about 1,000
submissions annually, to Headquarters for review and disposition.
In
1998, a housing re-engineering task group met with major Industry partners to
discuss their suggestions for improving the prior 2530 process. The Active
Partners Performance System is the result of these joint HUD and Industry
sessions. APPS re-engineers the HUD-2530 process and is the replacement for the
current Previous Participation Review System (PPRS)F19. APPS automates both the
process Industry participants use to submit HUD-2530 information and the process
HUD staff use to review and approve the submissions. Using the internet as the
communications vehicle, the principal participants will enter their data
directly into APPS. APPS will then present any possible findings to HUD staff
for review.
