HUD Office of Inspector General Letter to Multifamily Owners
On May 28th, the following letter was published from the HUD Office of Inspector General:
Dear Property Owners and Managers:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is taking bold steps to eliminate fraud in the nationwide programs it funds. People who are supported by HUD assisted housing deserve to live in decent and safe homes. Taxpayers deserve to see that money is spent wisely and without fraud.
The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is committed to eliminating fraud, waste, and abuse. When people act intentionally to defraud our programs, it erodes public trust and diverts critical resources away from communities and the individuals who depend on HUD for housing solutions. Eliminating fraud is a shared responsibility; we cannot do it alone. We need you to do your part.
Make reports of crime, fraud, waste, and abuse to OIG via our Hotline at https://www.hudoig.gov/hotline or call 1-800-347-3735. Additionally, we encourage you to use our anti-fraud resource graphics in your social media, newsletters, websites, and other communications. The resource graphics are available on our website at
https://www.hudoig.gov/resources/posters-and-brochures.
Please share this letter with all your staff and together we will eliminate fraud.
Sincerely,
Brian D. Harrison
Acting Inspector General
