Focused Topics

There’s much more to affordable housing than just eligibility, rent calculations, and EIV. PMCS recognizes other critical operational tasks that managers must oversee to maintain compliance. Whether it’s mandatory changes to existing procedures, implementation of new requirements, or adaptation to a new HUD initiative, the industry’s obligation to react, can influence, and often shift, the training needs of the industry to topics that go beyond the fundamentals. This training series focuses on these “hot topic issues” that affect a broad array of properties. Classes in this category are relevant for all – from new managers through advanced industry veterans.

HUD’s EIV System is a complex, yet critical system for HUD assisted housing managers to grasp. Learning the fundamentals of EIV, including the timing of running each EIV report, what information is and isn’t available in EIV, and understanding the interaction between EIV and HUD’s TRACS system is key to appropriate EIV use and HUD compliance.

Session Highlights:

  • Overview of monthly and quarterly reports stored in the EIV Master File as well as the Existing Tenant Search.
  • Overview of EIV income reports
  • We will explore where to find them; when to print them; what the information means; how to use them and where to store them.

Whether you are new to the affordable housing industry or just need focused training on EIV, PMCS’ EIV webinar is a convenient, cost-effective option. What sets us apart? We don’t just train you; we show you! These interactive webinars will equip participants with the understanding of foundational concepts necessary to use HUD’s EIV system correctly for both applicants and in-place residents.
